How does your game meet GBJam's theme
Sunlight is the world’s oldest form of gold. You move the sun to shift shadows and guide its light toward a sunflower, making golden light both the theme and the core mechanic.

Great Job! This was a fun little game and really creative. At first it was a little confusing how to get the robot to move, so I did look at the Hint but after that I completely understood. It almost made it more fun because then I could try to keep the sun alive while its small and understand what I did wrong if I lost.

Very creative! Took me a while to understand what I was doing, but after than it was unexpectdly fun to grow sunflowers. :)

There’s some very cool stuff happening graphically too. The experimental pixel look reminded me a bit of Proteus on PS Vita, especially the way the world and shadows are handled.

Giving you a follow and adding this to a collection. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

I love the theme interpretation! The gameplay was very relaxed and chill and was intuitive once I grasped the premise of how things moved! The graphics were definitely good, given more time I'm sure they could be great. Soundtrack fit the vibe really well, cozy relaxing, yet always moving forward! I got a good sense of feeling like a Gameboy game as well. Really great work!

Lovely game with a nice style and ambiance.

I Really really really enjoyed this game, It has a very nice style and great gameplay! It took me a couple of try's to figure out how to play and I thought that the little projectiles were dangerous at first. Great game good work!

very interesting concept! Took me a minute to get it, but reading anything would have told me what to do. nice game!

This was a really fun simple game. I  really love the art style and how the shadows worked with the sun. It took me a few tries to get what's going on but once I did it was pretty fun and simple. Very Unique Idea. 

Amazing color palette.

this was cool! Very simple, and very unique interpretation of the theme.

I thinks this game really gets the whole concept of a game jam: simple and well executed idea. It was also a nice interpretation of the theme.

The art is cute and matches the environment. Very cozy.

Superb entry.

When I saw it I was like Whoa! is that 3D! That is an amazing game! It was a little hard to understand at first but once I did it was really fun! Great game!

Submitted

This is such a cool and unique concept, very pretty visuals as well

Game is very interesting, it would be nice if you used the second button in the game to really solidify your gameboy soul, but other than that it feels really complete, it could use a little tut at the beginning(maybe its a puzzle game im not sure).

Submitted

The game design is really cool :) I had fun while playing although I died in the first 3 seconds of my first try.  You did a great job for programming the shadow visual effect. Keep the good work!

Submitted

Very cool interpretation of the theme and very cozy!

Submitted

This is really cool! Very much an experiment and figure it out kind of game, with a real arty presentation. Well done!

Submitted

I never wanted to “win” this game because it was so fun to expand the garden. I love games like this that could be classified as toys as much as games. Maybe you should make more stuff like this. (I haven’t played your more traditional games so I don’t mean to insult those, this is just something the world needs more of).

Chill and fun little game. Cloud shadow should move with the sun.

Wrong resolution. :)
