Seeing Roberto lying under leaves with a smile on his face felt oddly charming. It really felt like home, maybe not under a roof, but with the same warmth. I can’t describe it, it’s just one of those things you forget as you live. Thanks for reminding me that I haven’t lost this feeling.

Developer

omg thank you so much for your comment. I'm really glad our little story moved you in that way <3

Developer

Man, this comment is so beautiful :')

Thank u so much for playing our game and I'm really glad it made you feel that!!

Overall a beautiful game with excellent graphics! The autumn effect stands out strongly with falling leaves. The music is fitting. I wish there was a way to proceed the dialogues faster.

Roberto is so cute !
Love all the different ways to help the other animals and sounds you incorporated to this game 🍂💖🦝
We think it would be nice to be able to read the dialogues faster (by displaying completely each line after one click) and to move a little bit quicker. Also, as someone else suggested it, a small delay after the conversation ends could help not accidentally reenter the dialogue.
Otherwise it is a really, really nice entry, with a very poetic and cozy autumnal story.
Congrats 💖🌈✨

I was thinking exactly the same about the dialogues, but the time was running so freaking fast and decided to stop fixing those tiny details and bugs to actually deliver the game T_T

Thanks a lot for playing our gameeee

Very charming experience, beautiful art! It gave me Over the Garden Wall vibes ;)
Gameplay wise I would add a small delay after the conversation end so players could not reenter dialogue with double clicking interact button. Great work! 

Developer

Couldn't agree more with your feedback! Thanks for letting us know :)

Over the Garden Wall was indeed some inspo we used, glad you got that vibe

oh Roberto u r so dear to me... beautiful art and great sounds. it was a pleasant experience playing your game!

Developer

We all love Roberto the raccon :)

Thanks for playing and for commenting. Which sound caught your attention the most?

Submitted(+1)

the character sounds are great! simple, yet unique

Submitted(+2)

Idk what i expected from the ending but it was unexpected and lowkey funny to me. The ART WAS SO CUTE!!!! It's so polished! And I absolutely LOVED the frog's voice it tickled my funny bones. Loved your game <3

Developer(+1)

Omg it is so rewarding getting to know different people enjoyed differen NCP's and details of them :)

Thanks for playing and getting through the end!

At the end Roberto realized he was hyper-fixated in something material he didn't need anymore, for he had found a better place to be <3

Such a cute game :0 The art style sells the Cozy Fall vibes for me :)

Submitted(+2)

I love the sounds the NPCs make! also, and maybe this is odd, but the raccoons bum wiggle as it walks is super cute.  Great work

Developer

Yeaah you notice! We put hours into that bum wiggle haha

We had great time recording the NPC voices too

Thanks for you comment and playing :)

Submitted(+2)

Everything is so cozy and the art style and music is just so good. Also i love the implication that the crow is british lol

Developer

Thanks for playing and making it through!

We did really put a lot of effort in giving the animals different personalities and voices. I'm glad you enjoyed that :)

Submitted(+2)

Omg the art is crazy good! Amazing work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks <3

PS: choese

The art in this game is top tier! I am in love with the looks, the vibe, everything. A beautiful atmosphere you created and definitely fits the cozy fall vibes. As other's mentioned I didn't quite get the rock task right away but wasn't a large hiccup and certainly didn't ruin my experience in the slightest.

Submitted(+2)

Very cozy fall vibes! This game is so polished and nice. Only thing I would add is instructions inside the game, the first rock pile task was not intuitive. The art and sounds and everything moving was cute!

Developer(+1)

Hey, thank you so much for the feedback! We're really glad you enjoyed the game. And thank you for the suggestion, we'll definitely consider adding some instructions to make it more intuitive. We really appreciate you playing our game!!

A wonderful little story! The dialogue is very sweet, and the quest to find what Roberto values most is truly engaging. Thank you for this cozy game; it was a pleasure to play.😊✨✨✨✨

Developer

Glad you like ittt!! Thanks a lot for the review uwu

Submitted(+1)

SUPER CUTE GAME!!! It was such a charming experience, I am sad it had to end, but the ending was the best one I could have hoped for!

I liked the parallax background effect of the dark trees which appered more and more the deeper I got into the forrest!

Developer

Heeeyy!! Thanks a lot for the review :')

Glad you noticed that small detail <333

Developer

Poor ol' racoon

Submitted(+2)

such a lovely game! the art and overall atmosphere really suited this jam, and roberto finding the leaves at the end felt like the forest helping him after all the help he gave to the other animals. great work ^^!

Developer

We where all rooting (heh get it) for Roberto! 

Thanks for playing till the end :)

Submitted(+2)

The game felt really cozy and chill, really like that there was also foreground. I still find it funny how Roberto ended up sleeping under the leaves.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed and got to play it till the end :)

Submitted(+2)

The game really needs more hints, but it's incredibly cozy and atmospheric! The art and music go together perfectly!!! 100 lost glasses out of 100 hahaha.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I'm glad Roberto's journey felt inmersive and cozy.

Thanks for the feedback on hints and leading what to to, I agree.

Submitted(+2)

This game is cute, I genuinely got sad when Roberto's newspaper blew away! The sound track is very cozy too. My only critique is, I wish more love went into the forest/background. All in all, great submission though! Well done.

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feeback. I'm glad it felt cozy :)
