Wow. This was super fun to play. The smooth transitions between scenes to the small gameplay details that weren't mentioned but felt good finding out about like I did not know you could dash mid flight- that was cool to find out lol.

Art and transitions between scenes and animations were so good! Thanks for sharing I had fun with it :)

This is a solid game. I really enjoyed playing it. The mechanics are so smooth and the theming is really well done.

The art is super charming and dashing feels really nice. Overall I think the game was very solid as a whole.

I think that adding either a timer counting up to encourage quick fast paced gameplay or adding a dash counter to encourage thoughtful decision making could add a lot to the game.

Great job :D

Really fun game, was i supposed to be able to dash mid air? cuz that made the game super easy, maybe a hardmode without that would be nice, but that's just a idea for post release, the game holds well without it

Managing to line up a bunch of flowers is really satisfying!

Very enjoyable game. Simple graphics but work well for the style. I maybe would have made the second dash only speed up not change direction.

Cute little game. Although the timestop and that you could dash while already dashing were kinda weird, I still enjoyed the mechanic.

This is exactly the game I needed after long and stressful work day. :-) As others have said, this was relaxing and solid game. Good graphics, good controls, good sounds and music, good feedback, interesting mechanics (i really liked the double click mechanic, even though you did not need it necessarily). Only thing I would have added would be some 3 star system like in angry birds, for completing the levels with extra speed/low number of moves. Games like these could have endless number of levels, enemies etc, but I am glad that the game was short so that I could see the ending. Good Ludum Dare game does not need to be long. :-)

Cute as hell and controls were very fun! The game was very easy to figure out, that little tutorial scene was very effective. I agree with a comment above that a timer or dash counter would amp up the gameplay.

Hah, when I first saw your game I couldn't help but see the similarities to our game. A nice friendly animal grabbing leaves in a physics environment.

Even though the game appears simple, there is a lot of thought and care put into elements that I really didn't expect. Like others pointed out, you didn't HAVE to add the double dash mechanic. But as soon as I discovered it, I tried to see how little I could touch the walls while playing. You didn't HAVE to have the final vacuum effect leaving the stage, but it gave good variety to the visuals and pacing.

Honestly it's a good amount of polish for a 1 person team. Really good job!

Nice game, with great visuals and audio!
As others as have said, that mid-air dash mechanic rocks!
Though maybe there should be an incentive to use it? Likewise, maybe there should be a reward for completing the level in as few moves as possible?

super super enjoyable <333 what a lovely game to play at the end of a very long week. i loved how this game was put together with a lot of care (the little thump sound the bee makes when hitting a platform, the double dash mechanic as others have pointed out, the fact you can change trajectory mid-flight, the pleasant soundtrack) -- all of it coupled into such a smooth and relaxing experience. thanks so much for sharing <3

Too Short! This is one of the most polished games (in terms of mechanics and game-feel) I've come across in this jam thus far (after 80 games)! Seriously, the controls are amazing, and I absolutely love the midair sling mechanic!
I do hope you continue with this game- I would buy it in a heartbeat off steam! Need more levels!!! ^~^

I really loved this game. My biggest complaint was that it was so short. The graphics are adorable. The music and sound effects are solid. The gameplay was simple but engaging. Especially the very fast second dash made it fun to try to beat the levels as quickly as possible. Great work.
