It looks like art and feels like art. It's definitely art.

Beautiful. I love how the trees grow outside of the "bounds".

Really beautiful. I love the way the trees grow outside the game frame.

I love so much about this! The leaves floating about when you move are great, and the trees (and the way the break out of the frame) are lovely. I'm definitely going to be going over the source for this and seeing how you did everything.

That was beautiful!

I only wish that the trees were affected by the wind.

Cool concept, fits the theme well and nice music. Reminded me a bit of Flower by thatgamecompany. It would be nice if there was more of a progression to the gameplay or some kind of goal. Also when you are moving in a direction against the edge of the screen it should adjust the camera so you can see farther ahead.

I really like the evolution of the SFX regarding the wind velocity.
I get lost sometime on this too much white background for me.

Unprecedented design and quality. Very unique and innovative. Nice to relax with this entry after several dozen retro shooters that make beepy noises. Thumbs up!

Really nice and peaceful. I love the movement of "the wind". Seeing the trees grow is pretty cool as well.

For me, this is what Ludum Dare is often about. Great ideas implemented in a really beautiful way. Great stuff!

Wow. Didn't expect to get 6 real types of trees that all grow so differently and beautifully. Great work! Really great work.

Damn it, this didnt seem to run in my browser :(
It also said webaudio wasnt supported too.
But I just got a white screen. The screen shots look great though.

Great little game. Very relaxing. Too bad there's some slowdown after you planted all the trees.

This was fantastic. I only wish there was a little less confusion near the end when I couldn't find any more seeds and it apparently was just waiting for my last tree to grow some.

Very pretty! Lovely mellow music. The seeds seemed to appear quite infrequently and randomly, maybe some mechanic that allowed the player to unlock new seeds through creativity or skill would have been interesting.
Excellent work!

Clever little toy. Am I the only one who can't help but think the Japanese cherry looks oddly stunted, though?

Made a good choice in trying this one! Great atmosphere (visual & sound), clean game, I think I have no negative critics ^^ ...ah no I remember: to be able to have some more tree in one garden would be perfect!

Epic game! It was a really cool experience to play it. The audio is really great and sets the mood very well. The gameplay was really relaxing. Only thing I can criticize, that the soundeffect for the wind should fade out, when bumping into the levelborder, instead of abruptly stopping. Awesome job!

The hunt for seeds got a bit monotonous, but the game's atmosphere was great. I'm not sure what actually ended the game. The share feature is a nice touch.

Beautiful. Only was able to find about 5 different trees (not sure how many there are), but it was a beautiful game.
