Trippy design (and concept, really) with textures and a soundtrack to match... Only complaint was probably the movement. It was pretty difficult to get up hills and I felt like I wasn't fully in control a lot of the time, getting pushed sideways by inclines, etc.
Overall, good job! :smile:
The drums and the psychedelic shaders were giving of a very unique vibe.
The dialog and interaction with the different elements of the world was funny.
I'm really glad you enjoyed this weird experience... ! :'D
We realized while making this game, that it's very... strange to make a game with talking AIs, because it's quickly "not coherent" and "a bit uncomfortable" as soon as the behavior that looks like a human being, breaks the logic we have in mind, but at least we tried and we learn! We are very happy to have tried it for this jam!
This thing is alive now, and you're interacting with it, that alone is cool. ^^

Oh yes, we were wrong! We're French, so for us decimals are after a comma ","... ^^'But in English we have to put a dot "."... sorry, it's just disgusting! xD
We wanted to put temporarily the decimals while the entity waits for its wish to be satisfied, to highlight the frenzy of life that inevitably runs out, and more and more quickly (here) the more its desire is not satisfied...

_I think the best strategy here might have been just to have never listened to that damn flower in the first place…_ :tired_face:
This is exactly the disturbing and terrible feeling we wanted to convey. The fact that life and death are two sides of the same terrible coin!
version 2.1 is out! :yum:
Many new dialogues (especially for the rarest entities). Do not hesitate to discover all this if you feel like it.
Thanks again for playing it already once! :grin:
Good take on the theme. At the end there were too many notifications popping up but that's minor.
Great job!
