How has nobody thought of that before?\n\nThe graphics are really nice, I like them a lot and they give off a very soothing and relaxed mood. Being visually pleasing is probably the most important thing for a screensaver.\n\nI have now installed your game as my screensaver, so in a way your game is going to be the game that I see the most of :smile: \n\nInnovative ideas like this are what makes Ludum Dare special, great job!","format":"md","likes":6,"spam":"N"},{"id":1068753,"author_name":"Klemen","author_uid":"klemen","epoch":1713694495,"text":"I love it 10\/10, but seriously like what has this have to do with the summoning theme?","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1069211,"author_name":"Martta","author_uid":"martta","epoch":1713712620,"text":"@klemen Well you summon fish and coral :-)\n\n@simon-rahnasto thank you for your kind words! <3","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1070521,"author_name":"uthie","author_uid":"uthie","epoch":1713776736,"text":"This is quite the interesting take on the whole topic, quite vibey, no gameplay though :).","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1070878,"author_name":"Blues","author_uid":"blues","epoch":1713800796,"text":"we need screensavers in 2024 now more than ever!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1072347,"author_name":"Liu Pa Yueh","author_uid":"liu-pa-yueh","epoch":1713905714,"text":"I'm amazed at this work, it's so much fun, thank you!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1074506,"author_name":"Its_Capp","author_uid":"its-capp","epoch":1714172103,"text":"it's interesting but not really a \"game\"","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1074722,"author_name":"Martta","author_uid":"martta","epoch":1714213511,"text":"@its-capp @uthie what do you mean no gameplay?","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1074828,"author_name":"jk5000","author_uid":"jk5000","epoch":1714227785,"text":"The games\/screensavers visuals is looking really good. The idea is simple and pretty fun. When testing it, it feels a bit slow, but use it as a screensaver it will work fine. I would have liked a bit of relaxing ocean sound effects. I tried to summon some plants, but I never saw them anywhere. Overall a good and relaxing little game. Well done.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1074838,"author_name":"Geckoo1337","author_uid":"geckoo1337","epoch":1714228509,"text":"Pretty fun. Interesting interpretation of the theme.

Visuals are calm and pleasing, and the game nicely fits the summoning theme.\n\nIMO I think you would see more downloads if the game were playable via HTML5 rather than only via a screensaver file (.scr files have a bad reputation for containing malware). You might also benefit from having a GIF of gameplay, to dispel the idea that it's just a completely idle screensaver with no interaction.\n\nHigh points for innovation, graphics and mood!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1075350,"author_name":"Martta","author_uid":"martta","epoch":1714301281,"text":"@jk5000 @geckoo1337 @edj99 Thank you for meaningful and well thought feedback! <3 \n\n@jk5000 yeah the feedback for summoning plants is quite small: The plant fades in very slowly and it might happen outside screen. But eventually the screen is filled with colors, so you cant miss it. :-) \n\n@edj99 lol I actually had problems with Windows Defender flagging it automatically as malware. I needed to send it to Microsoft for investigation so that they could whitelist it manually. Can not blame them, a screensaver that launches another .exe which in turn writes files to disk (save game) is sus.
