It's not functional

Looks like a beggining of a fun project :) I like the controls, and moving further and closer with W and S keys. The obvious things - you can see blue screen behind the painted background and you can go out of the screen and there is not much to do. I really liked the graphics though.

Very beautiful graphics! I would like to know more about the bear :)

This game is lovely, and I love this sort of melancholy it has. I wish that I could play it as intended though, because this doesn't load for me properly. I can also walk the bear into the blue unkown, accidentally making it even more melancholic seeing this little guy all alone surrounded by nothing but blue ![bear flower 01.png](///raw/24b/64/z/4c07b.png)

Love the art and the bear animation, but can't interact with things when I press E.

As it was said, art is beautiful, gameplay brings some questions. For instance, the owl doest't speak to me. Why would that be? I really like owls. This one's ignoring me. I'm not happy about it. I demand to talk to the owl!

I really like the art, very nice! This game stumped me, couldn't complete it. Maybe I was playing it wrong but I couldn't interact with the owl. The path that went to the owl was hard to read that it led to another area. Maybe bear tracks will help players figure that out. Nice work.

The art is beautiful and the sounds feel very organic. There are issues but they have already been addressed by others

The art is really cute and pretty, couldn't do anything when I pressed E but it was nice!

Pictures are nice but the game is not really playable, I was able to talk to the owl but what to do after?

I'm unable to play this which is too bad because the art looks awesome

It looks promising, but, sadly, I can't actually DO anything

I like the visual style, the animations are good, game needs a little bit of improvement for better gaming experience.

Very cute game, I think it could be something really fun with some more time put into it.
I was a bit put off when I was walking around in the blue space and couldn't find anywhere else to go, I think it would be better if you were limited to the playable space.
Your idea fits the theme and the art is good too. Definitely need some work on sound and gameplay though, but it is hard to do in a weekend, so kudos to you for pulling it off!

The game looks amazing, I really liked the style that you went for. Don't stop making games, I'd kill to see the finished project.

Keep going on this! The graphics and style are very nice. Love the picto-conversational speech bubbles. Needs story / puzzle / interactivity / gameplay next.

It is very beautiful and clings to the soul by the very sight. It's a pity that there is nothing to play :с

Apparently the idea was quite large-scale and there was not enough time to implement it within the jam. If you refine it, it will be a cool game. I can note the hand-drawn graphics that are pleasant to the eye.

And also... I found an owl!)

The visuals is okay, but not really any working gameplay.

Thanks for the feedback! We have all the art, history, dialogues, music and sound (and theoretically working gameplay), but unfortunately there were problems with the technical part.
We plan to put everything together.

The Owl has a bug. Game counts the appeal to him, but does not show the dialog box.

Uhmmm, is this game broken or am I dumb? I can't seem to figure out what I'm suppose to do here but the graphics are nice so that's better than nothing ay

WOW! nothing to say, this is a great game! I love the vibe. music graphics and realization is truly amazing. As a beginner, I am very inspired by how people make such games in just a few days

@shumarie I do not play a lot of post-jam games but the art really wanted me to try a better version! Definitely wasn't disappointed 😀! But can you please add the some flower art after you plant it?

I like how when you move "upwards" you get smaller, to show that you're walking into the background "depth-wards". The art is cute, the animations are nice, but (in the original version) there isn't really anything to do. The background is incredibly well drawn, by the way. If the art was made using multiple layers, you could probably add some simple parallax to give an illusion of more depth to the background.

@daniel-dewaswala Yep. It will be added)

Awww that was really cute and I really liked the art and music. It was lovely game.

The movement was a little bit finicky at times and the first time I started the conversation with the owl I wasn't close enough and the speach got cut off at the top of the screen.
