Interesting idea, very easy controls and cool atmosphere in game.

The graphics were definitely the strongest thing about the game, on par with the top 50 jam games. It's a shame you didn't have time to make a soundtrack, otherwise it would have felt more complete. I would suggest you add royalty free music next time - even if you didn't make it, you can opt out of the audio category but still vastly improve the feel of the game.\n\nThe controls were probably the weakest aspect for me - I wasn't a huge fan of the control scheme in general but the movement was far too responsive for a game that required me to move through a small hole at times. Some wall boundaries were also not very clear at first, which made me miss where I can and can't go.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":929874,"author_name":"AMastryukov","author_uid":"amastryukov","epoch":1674820736,"text":"*removed duplicate comment*","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":929949,"author_name":"HayriCakir","author_uid":"hayricakir","epoch":1674829944,"text":"Appealing visuals and fun gameplay, good job!

Took me a second to realize that there are multiple buckets and I don't have to follow the rain like a madman :smile: One thing I would highly recommend you for next time is to add some sounds (they can really be very simple) when the player does something (e.g. picks up a bucket). This will really help making these great graphics feel more immersive.\n\nGameplay was simple but cool. It would be good if you could better plan were to place the buckets based on were the cloud will go.
