Really good audio\/visual design -- the soft billowing tree foliage and the woody kalimba notes when you grow a tree is really great. The only thing I would suggest is the player's walking speed seems a bit too fast, considering everything else about the game encourages patience and calmness. Nitpicking, I know. \r\rI really loved this game. One of my favorites I've played so far."},{"author_name":"dusho","author_uid":"36575","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 12:30pm","epoch":1450182300,"text":"I was going for large aesthetic forest and then it went puff\rnice one.."},{"author_name":"Anshul Goyal","author_uid":"18701","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 2:08am","epoch":1450231380,"text":"Love sprinkling water around.

I've gotta agree about the movement, though: having the player move faster than anything else on the screen has a weird feeling in an otherwise ambient, relaxing game."},{"author_name":"omaha","author_uid":"5229","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 5:02am","epoch":1450328220,"text":"Thanks everyone!\r\rI definitely see where you're coming from regarding the movement speed. I fear my original plans to make an action game bled into my later attempts to make something peaceful.\r\rI tend to make the same mistake in every LD: I don't turn all my systems into an actual *game* until late in the weekend, leaving very little time to balance and correct the finer details. I will try to remember this the next time around."},{"author_name":"01010111","author_uid":"11474","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 5:31am","epoch":1450416360,"text":"Great job :) I'm really impressed with the graphics and style you pulled off in this, and the audio fits perfectly, and the ending is really special!"},{"author_name":"gokottastudio","author_uid":"62062","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 8:01pm","epoch":1450554960,"text":"Nice look!"},{"author_name":"foolmoron","author_uid":"36186","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 11:13pm","epoch":1450566480,"text":"Very awesome aesthetic! I love that it's a relaxing and passive experience, but the controls still feel really nice to play with. The way the trees grow and start to bloom colors is very mysterious and satisfying.
