Very calm soothing game. The concept is self explanatory and easy to understand.  I had some challenges with moving the pages but then realized holding a leaf and hover over one edge of the book would flip the page.
Loved the "restart button == null" message at the end of the game. I also lacked a restart button but wasn't creative enough to leave a playful message like this.
Great work!

Such a cool idea for a child’s game! I feel like Those are really lacking in this time periode, where most of “child’s game” on mobile are some kind of blatant advertising tool or cash grab, when it’s not just lazy ai stuff thrown together 😫

I will start with my couple of regrets so I can end my review with the positive!

1: I think the end talk should not trigger next sentence on a timer, but through player input only, to let kids all the time they need to try to read it by themself without running out of time. It happened to me to not be able to read the entire sentence because I paused to think of what would be the french name (my native language) of the tree for the leaf that looked the most like a potoleaf xD

2: I feel that that last dialogue was a bit redoundant as it adds no informations/funfact nor story telling to leaves as it goes throuhg them all. I like how it highlights their name once again, but to me it feels like a lost opportunity to add to each of them something that would help the kid remember them by tying those leaf to the “emotional” side of their brain (“oh it’s funny this leaf is not only pretty but what has been told about it was cool/made me laugh/reminded me of a cherrished memory!”)

3: I wanted to play it on phone, but the music/sounds didnt work at all, so I add to play it on pc, others might encounter the same issue so I figure I would let you know

Now that all my little nitpicking as been done, I liked the fact that you can personalize your book by replacing leafs with one you might like better at any time. The atmosphere was well put together, really calming and cozy. I overal really enjoyed the art. The controles are super intuitive. The game is simple but it knows what it wants to do, and do it well! (Almost forgot to highlight how nostalgic the experience was, as a former child who, like million of other former childs, gathered leaves in autumn as a child 👌)

GG for that jam entry, I had a great time discovering it, I also found like 2 gnome friends so, yeah, you have in front of you some kind of super popular charismatic super star 😎👌🍁

This is such a delightful way to learn more about different types of leaves/trees!! I enjoyed being able to pick which color leaves I wanted for my book. I also enjoyed the little detail of the leaves you pick up moving the leaves around them!

Probably the most autumn game of the jam, didn't expect to learn so much from it (๑╹w╹)✎ I had problem finding the Alder leaf because it's so similar to a American Elm leaf but only smaller. Really enjoyed the nature vibe and showing off my collection here ✨

Pretty fun and educational game for identifying autumn leaves. The maples all look pretty similar to each other but still distinct enough to tell them apart. I like the idea of the leaves shuffling around in the background when you open the journal. I did also try the funny thing of putting all the leaves in the incorrect place which is kinda funny, even though the game said "you didn't have fun huh" but I actually did have fun.

This game is beyond fantastic! I love games that teach you little things about life and inspire curiosity in nature!  This had the perfect mix of coziness and difficulty. I LOVED the variation in the leaves, it made it feel so real. I genuinely want to go outside and do this in real leaf piles now.  Amazing job to everyone who was involved with this project. Easy 5/5!

You can't get anymore "autumn" than this game. It's cozy, relaxing, and fun, but I wish Nana didn't seem so dissapointed when I got FOURTEEN of the 15 leaves. "I'm sure you'll do better next time" was this time not good enough?!?! Jokes aside though, I really don't see any problem with this game.

Lovely idea for a game, I really enjoyed it. I like how the leaves don't perfectly match the shape on the page to show that natural variation. I can imagine the game being paced out a bit more, like if grandma gives you just a few to find at once, and then you report back and she tells you about the leaves you just found, then gives you some more to find. If this game is intended to teach about leaves then spreading out the info a bit more rather than having it all at the end could help. Lovely entry tho, thank you for sharing your game!

What a lovely game! Using the game to actually teach people the shapes of the leaves is such a wonderful concept, and it was well executed. Also, props to you for making a game playable on mobile! 

The music was lovely, and I really appreciate that you credited the artists from Pixabay correctly! That said, I would love to see more people give composers a chance to participate. There are so many composers (and SFX artists, too!) looking for groups for these jams and it's a shame more of them don't get a chance to shine because people look outside the jam for their audio. You should give them a try! Worst case, they don't produce something, and you use music from Pixabay anyway. But best case, you meet someone cool, they get game music experience, and you get something original to your game!  Edit: They did pick a composer but didn't end up with any tracks. Great music choices and props for crediting properly!

Anyway, that small point doesn't detract at all from the quality of your game, which is very good! The theme was very cozy, the art was nice, matching the leaves was enjoyable, it worked well, and looking for the gnome was fun. I did run into a small bug where the pointer in the leaf pile (indicating that you could pick up the leaves) got stuck on the screen and wouldn't go away even after I picked up several leaves and put them in my book.

Overall a really nice experience, thanks for submitting!

Gorgeous game! We love it when people make their art themselves! Me and my partner being artists ourselves makes this our number 1 criterium to define the game (often even if the art isn't good, as long as it's made by the creators) and your art is both gorgeous and homemade! The game really captured the essence of autumn, especially for me being someone who regularily collects leaves once they start looking golden falling from trees :)

Also, kudos for making a mobile playable game! We played on PC, so we didn't get the mobile experience, but we understand how the controls would have worked on a touchscreen. Overall a great jam game!

I think this game has become one of my favorites! Everything was so cozy! The colours, the beautiful art and leaves, I wanted to cuddle the gnome and look at the leaves forever! And the music was relaxing and so nice!

I loved the animation for the little book/journal, and the idea for this game was really good! I think I could go on for a long while listing all the things I loved. What an amazing job you have done, Very well done! <3333

Great idea for a cozy, educational experience. In a former life I knew all of these by their leaves (and more), so it was fun for me to come back and revisit tree identification in a setting like this. The gnome was a nice touch as well. Strong autumn vibes and nice visual aesthetic here as well. Thanks for making and sharing your game!

Seeing and learning the names of all the different types of tree leaves was actually pretty interesting! I enjoyed learning the little extra details about them at the end of the game, and also seeing all the variations in color they had during gameplay. The leaves are drawn wonderfully; they made me want to take a trip somewhere with actual fall foliage and just stare at trees for a while haha. The music fits the game so well too and gives off a chill autumn vibe. And the little gnomes were a cute addition! I also liked the whole idea of collecting leaves and putting together a book, it works so well for a cozy game. Very comfy game.

Such a cozy game with really pretty art! I really enjoyed looking through the leaves, trying to find them all, and picking out the right ones for the book. Great idea for the jam, and it came together really well! I played on PC, but I'll have to try it on mobile. Great work. 

Thank you for teaching me tree names in English :D  a couple of species that are not at all common where I am from as well! Never knew there were tulip trees, they look awesome!

I love the gameplay, but i find a bit confusing how you interpreted limitation of jam. Good game after all!

Fun little game, definitely cozy vibes, but I especially want to shout out the amazing music?!

Really cozy game! I loved the facts and the ending, and the art and music were lovely. On my first playthrough, I thought the book only had one page, then realised at the end that I could flip through it 😅 I replayed it and managed to do a lot better! Well done!

This was a nice one! The leaves were drawn very accurately, and I enjoyed the fun facts at the end. The music was chill too.
