It looks great, even if I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to be doing.

Very cute looking, if a bit confusing what to do.

I've been playing Ludum Dare games and participating in the events for a long time, and this is possibly the most beautiful game I have seen to date.

Extremely calming too, even though I seemed to be making no progress, I found myself just hypnotized and kept growing more and more trees to feed the guy.

It's amazing how minimalist the art is, with just the right choice of some filled circles, nice colors and animations like the walking tilt and scarf in the wind making a huge different.

Stellar work.

Excellent entry as always. Was a little confusing, but I suppose discovery is what the game is all about so a little confusion is ok.

Once I figured out what to do, it became really fun and relaxing. I know you put the tip in the description but the seeds should be more obvious because they're very easy to miss.

it looks pretty good and has some funny animations. the problem for me was mostly the controls. I wasn't too sure wether I was able pick up a seed, throw it away or stand in the right spot to water a seed. but when it worked out (there's some marge fortunately), it felt pretty satisfying. hearing to sound from the plant fruit or giving the man its deserved apple. it's a nice little world to play around in.

I got intrigued a bit when I found out I could extend the island into the void. but I don't think you can go anywhere with it yet. did you plan something for this?

EAT MY FRUIT BITCH!! I was completely sure what I was supposed to be doing. 4/4 would eat again.

Throwing dozens of apples at this guys wide open mouth was strangely satisfying.

Quite a peaceful game. I enjoyed it for some time. Well done

Lovely game! I mistakenly throw the apple to the other person and got new seed :-)
Very well done!!

This artstyle is juste the best thing I have seen in LD. You are amazing!
Go further on it, please! Add some gameplay mechanics, add a story, add whaterver you want, but damn, I need more of this!

When I planted a seed, watered it, watched flowers blossom and an apple pop off, I felt pleased. If you continue to develop this, after I planted a half dozen, I wasn't sure what else to do.

Looks great! I wished there was something more, some objective or something. I searched the outer area for a while trying to find something that would use the seeds but alas, there was nothing.

Very nice graphics and audio - they fit together well and made a very pleasant atmosphere.

The gameplay was lacking however. I'm not sure if there was more to it that I missed, but it seemed farming the apples was all I could do, and after I'd figured out how, it quickly became boring.
