I wasn't always quite sure what I was always doing. But that never stopped me from playing a game :D

The music is fantastic. As other people said, I have absolutely no idea what to do, how to interact with things but I'm still playing. Nice :D

I'm not quite sure what I'm doing - maybe it would be good to have some more guidance?

Fun to play, a good game to exercise the brain. At the beginning I almost quit searching because I thought that nothing was interacting. I was so stocked when I found the birds, the cloud ...

I made a bird poop on a man ...and man a cloud darker with a bird...
I clicked and clicked... and then wasn't able to get anything done ...

Didn't get up... Sorry

That's quite funny idea, but I kinda like it.
It's very confusing in the beginning, but I finally got it.
Also, the music is great. :)

I FIGURED IT OUT!
Very cute little puzzle game, love the music and quirky art. A little confusing at first, but sticking with it and poking about was worth my while!

Probably my only criticism would be to implement more positive feedback - there were definitely times where I wasn't sure if I was making progress.

Ehm... I don't get it. There were some birds, but no spoon.

Woohoo, got the spoon! Loved the music.

The art is super random, but it ties together pretty well. Fun little game.

I ended up feeding the king some water with the spoon, but not sure if that was the end of the game or not. Would be good to have some sort of measure of progress or goals, since it's hard to tell how much you need to do.

I clicked a tree a bunch until a cloud shot lightning into the ground and gave me a spoon to give medicine to a guy who was pooped on by a bird.

10/10

Huh, got to the point where the cloud turned dark, then nothing when I clicked on anything. More guidance and feedback would be helpful.

A little bit buggy. A little bit eccentric. Just the way I like it.

I like how the space is split in 8 panels and the way we navigate them. It feels very natural.

The spoon was the friends we met along the way.

Incredibly weird game.

I feel kind of responsible for the guy's illness so I'm glad I found the spoon to help him with. Story A++. The music grows on you, like a fungus, a super cheerful fungus.

Wow. This is really strange. Weird art, weird music, weird... birds that make clouds wet??? wtf? but... uh... i kinda like it? I think? It was fun in a very strange way.

Wow, this game was actually pretty funny. I liked it! Also, I really like the music as well. If you didn't just make a 20 second loop, you could actually make some great 8-bit music with that skill.

Good job on your game, and good luck!

Nice story line! It's a very interseting theory about how was the spoon was invented... I like the music too.
On the top of the tree, it was sometimes confusing as I were clicking on it but nothing happened except the sound feedback.
You did a game with some kind of "naive" feeling that is pleasant.

Cool creative game, the graphics look like mspaint but the color palette is consistent. Very catchy.

I absolutely love these kinds of game. And you mastered everything perfectly: sloppy graphics, silly music, dubious story, weird controls. Everything fits perfectly. Congratulations on this amazing masterpiece. I'll leave this image here in order to express my admiration: http://s1.ibtimes.com/sites/www.ibtimes.com/files/styles/lg/public/2012/03/22/251908-etibar-elchiyev.jpg
