Congratiolations for 1st place of the community votes! :D
Thank you so much, we are so excited!!!
really cool game, visuals are great and i dont even know how you implement something like the drawing haha. the game didnt wanna recognize my triangles at the end so the boss took like 10 minutes, because the game guessed it was a heart or a circle xd
Absolute cinema!
Everything in this game comes together perfectly: The music, the visuals (HOLY SH- The visuals are soooo good!!!), the music again because it is peak and the gameplay!
The polish is also unreal for for a game jam game.
All in all, super well done!
Way too polished. Played on my graphics tablet for maximum fun. Can’t believe you got the drawing recognition to work so well within 48 hours.
awesome !
Beautiful pixel art!
I really love this game! The art and music fit perfectly together and create a harmonious atmosphere. The game concept is amazing :D Only thing is I feel like sometimes the system has problems recognizing the wind symbol. But maybe I was just not good drawing it? Not so sure :)
Very nice entry!
this game is just peak, the pixel art is incredible, the sounds effects fit right in, clear 5/5, Good Job!
In my opinion it's one of the 5/5 games at this jam. You need to continue working on this game! Awesome gameplay,visuals,sound,mechanics.
The visuals are absolutely incredible! So, so good! 🔥
very cool! I really enjoyed the gameplay and the aesthetic :)
This is so impresive! I would have no idea where to start at coding this Also amazing visuals and sound design!!!
Great Idea, at first it was really relaxing with great artstyle and music. Later it got a bit stressful, especially the boss fight :D All in all a really fun game!
Everything works together so well, I'm impressed. Gameplay feels smooth, the art is so well balanced and the idea captures the sense of the theme incredibly well.
For sure one of the greatest games of the jam, good job! <3
What a unique mechanic and lovely style! My hands are glad it was over after a couple of minutes, though ^^
Your game feels like a full release it's so funny, best game i saw in the jam
My favourite game of ARD Game Jam 2026. While towards the end of the game it can get quite hectic and the opposite of meditative, the mechanics, visuals and sound design is superb.
Really twitchy mechanic for a meditation theme game haha. The irony isn’t lost on me.
The sound effects is not bad but since you have to really quickly draw the shapes and you keep hearing the same initial sounds over and over, it can feel old quick.
The art is nice, but why does it look fuzzy on certain spots (for example the trees)?
The mechanic is done well. The only shape I didn’t like was the triangle haha.
Overall pretty nice game. Well done!
Yeah, we had some internal discussions about the sound effects and tried more magical ones, but in the end we felt the current drawing sound fit better. Still, thx a lot for the feedback and for playing :D
The art is amazing. I feel enlightened.
Yes, our designer really cooked :D
This is a reeally good game! The best so far, imo. The art style is very nice and polished and music and audio fit very well. The theme also is a 100/100 I think! The game mechanic is really engaging, but it also feels a bit to repetitive at times (this is just a reeeeally minor though!)
Thy for the feedback :D We wanted to add more variety with things like power-ups and elite enemies, but sadly ran out of time. Glad you enjoyed it
