Yarnful Days by amras0000
Gather yarn in a craft-based world. Sickeningly cutesy.
WASD to move, mouse to look around, you'll figure out the rest.
NOTE: if the game runs too slowly or the ball of yarn doesn't seem to grow, try the post-LD version. It's identical in content, just fixes some bugs.
---
known bugs:
-there is sometimes a delay before the last message in the game. Just wait a minute and it should show up.
-there are holes in the terrain behind the snowcapped mountains.
Critique is welcome.

Mouse was extremely sensitive for me, and I think you lose some effort in the button-dragging-yarn effect because the yarn overlaps so much.
The environment was fun, though.
The visuals, audio, objective, outcome and even the font choice all worked together to invoke a feeling of calm. An interesting take on the theme.
I'm really glad I played it and really enjoyed it. Nice one.
Looking at that pile of yarn in the screenshot makes me think I missed something. Dang. :/
then i've played it. and i'm still very satisfied :)
Thanks for your comment on my game by the way! I plan on making a version that's a bit stronger in the gameplay department, a lot of the ideas you're proposing are going to be in that :)
I've also looked at your points for my game, and they are almost all points I want to pick up in a post compo version, so thanks also for giving me feedback :) One of the things I'd like to add is that you start with a settler, instead of an actual city, so you can indeed start near a forest.
Excellent interpretation of the theme. Cool concept, very "flower"-like. I liked that you had different colours of yarn depending on the landscape. Nice and refreshing. Good work!
