(You can see me playing this game for the first time on the vod https://youtu.be/_Upt3PIzndo?t=2h54m55s )
Maybe the flower could be placed more into the middle, as it's so important for the game.
Also, I wasn't realizing at first that the shadow monsters attack the stars, affecting the flower. Some visual feedback would have been helpful there. And maybe you could've also switched up the gameplay a bit/introducing new elements to shooting the monsters. Although repeating the same thing can be very relaxing too, depends what you want to achieve.
All in all a really cool entry for the ears and eyes!
This seems like a type of game you could turn into just about anything. Either a magical game about exploring the life and world of an ancient wizard. It could even be the lord of dreams. It certainly feels that way with the stars being hung by ropes.
I didn't really have any complaints about this game. Other than that I wish it had the option to resize a bit easier. Aside from that the controls were smooth, the laser you fire always registered with the evil clouds, and I thought the music was a good choice. Nice work.

I'm not sure if I played it right. I shot the clouds with the laser and then the flower grown.
The beginning story was somehow confusing too...
Thanks for sharing :)

Hm, *that* may be why people had difficulty grasping the goal of the game... I could see it being a bit confusing if you don't get the connection.
Anyway... lovely game! :grin: You might want to have some visual indication for the cool-down on the lasers though maybe?
You did a really good job, I really think you can do better, you have such a great atmosphere, I'd like to see more. The controls are really basic and the theme is respected but maybe too simple.
By the way I really enjoyed playing it, the music is really amazing. Great job guy hope to see you on next jams !
My flower is grown, yay! Nice graphic and music
Don't take these as serious complaints or anything, though. Overall, I really liked just about every aspect of the game.
check up my game guys :)
A pause menu or some sort difficulty ramp-up could probably do wonders!
This game made me remember my old times playing classics platformers.. That's a great feeling! :D
Good job!
