There is... I don't know, is that program-generated names and items? I can hardly figure out the story and play along.

Well, keep on working guys! :thumbsup:

And, good art and music still.

The art in the background on the ice level was really well made. I loved the colors and all the paint like effects.

Some suggestions to improve the game: Add a loading bar or some text saying slow /long download (probably slow because of all the textures it needs to load), some kind of ending would be nice or game over screen.

Keep up the work and thanks for participating in the Jam.

Fascinating art work! You must be a big fan of cartoon saloon like me hhhhhhh. The texture of trees is super beautiful. But the game is not able to play at present. The journey on the boat was too long and pale```

Very pretty game. The backgrounds reminded me a lot of the environments from Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, and definitely in a good way. I struggled a bit to follow the story, but I got a flower and I guess that was the right thing to do, because I think the game ended. :stuck_out_tongue:

There seemed to be some issue with the dialogue throwing up random strings of text and, as others have already said, either a preloader or some notice that the game takes a long time to load would have been a good addition. Same with a more explicit ending screen of some kind, assuming I didn't just mess up and there was more to the game for me still to find. :slight_smile:

Still, I enjoyed it--well done!

GORGEOUS artwork, absolutely loved watching the changing scenery. In terms of game play, I would've liked to see more interactive elements along the journey. Regardless, watching the landscape go by was enjoyable on its own, just not necessarily riveting game play. When I clicked on the flower, I was a little confused about what had just happened, but I think that was the end of the game?

Overall, an enjoyable experience! Awesome job :)

Didn't seem to be much "game" here, unless I missed something? But the art and music were beautiful! Gorgeous and relaxing to look at. I could easily see a full game doing well with this art style and mood.

Well, I didn't understand the ending... But it is still very beautiful game and I was glad to explore your world.

I like the art in here! I did have a problem with the text, when I tried to skip through it, it wrote all the words at the same time, so it called all scrambled up! It looks like a lot of effort went into this! Great job

Fantastic game and great idea. The universe and the story are interesting. I found the first monster, the flying SLAY to be the hardest but it is the first we encounter.
