I never felt like I had much agency and I died a lot without ever getting more than two trees planted.

The art, the music and the simple gameplay all band together to create a practically meditative game. Very nice.\n\nFinding thermal currents is quite hard and if there is some way of predicting where they could be from afar, I didn't notice any. So it feels quite random - go the right direction, discover the current and survive or choose poorly and fall to your doom. That's the life of a seed in a nutshell I guess ;).","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"NamidaSai","author_uid":"1215790","time":"2020-10-08T11:40:42Z","epoch":1602157242,"modified":1602157242,"text":"Absolutely nailed the mood and the ambience there. I love this art style and the music was perfect to go along with it. I agree with other comments regarding the fact that the trial and error approach felt a bit frustrating. I saw that you mentioned it was based on your paragliding experience of scanning the landscape for winds. Maybe small hints and indicators on a more populated landscape would help? It would break away from the cloudy aesthetic but would help millions on the gameplay side of things. However, it's already a beautiful art piece, great job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"rmonthil","author_uid":"1187653","time":"2020-10-08T13:22:29Z","epoch":1602163349,"modified":1602163349,"text":"Very nice game, nice art and very nice music :musical_note: Contrary to others, I didn't get frustated about finding thermal currents. This trial and error approach works for me. But what got me just a little bit frustrated, was the lack of checkpoints actually :sob: I lost almost at the end and I was expecting to start from the last grown tree ! But anyway, very nice mood and the gameplay is well mastered!

Good choice for the music. But the quietness of this atmosphere is a bit broken by the difficultie to find the good placement on thermal wind.
