Lot of creativity in this game, good graphics, good animations and it keep me playing for a good amount of time, really a good game and more considering is your first game ever.

Thanks a lot @mercuryal for the first every comment I get! real glad you like it!
btw there are 2 different final level and 2 different ending, wonder you try both of them.

Setting menu seens to have a problem... there are too many things I have no time to check before submit... only if I didn't play that much hearthstone at first 2 days

I liked this gameplay i mean thas was interesting and funny.

one question guys, can i put a new version that i did some debug? and i made a chinese version, is it breaking any rules for uploding those? i mean the submission was ended but i saw other people having some fixed version. just wonder.

Excellent game especially for your first entry very good use of the theme and very creative use of the mechanics the puzzle design was great and easy to understand and do whilst still giving a bit of a challenge congrats!

@aderpychickenstudios thank you for the comment! my friend says it is a little bit too hard though lol

I love this game, the mechanics of the change of seasons are very well done, and it looks very nice graphically.
There is a problem in the Settings part, which basically doesnt show anything, and you have to press Escape to get back to the menu

@fermingimpel yeah my friend reported that as well, I already fixed it but I’m not sure if I can post the fixed version.

Great job for your first time, the game really brings my mood up!!!!:)))

Congratulations on your first game! Nice pixel art, and I really liked the idea of the changing seasons and the impact it has on how you can move through the levels - very creative. I would suggest looking up about jump buffers and coyote time just to increase the smoothness of movement on platforms in the future. Well done on the submission!

@alex-de-la-cour you are definitely correct, I actually didn’t even know what jump buffer and coyote time is! I checked them after read you comment and realized that is what I’m looking for all the time when i feel weird when testing my levels and try if I can make jump smoother (eventually I can not). I’ll definitely adding them for my next game, your comment helps me a real lot.

I like what you did with the theme. Mechanics are interesting and the game is fun to play !

We really were on the same page with the seasons idea, but you went such a fascinating direction with it!! Your pixel art style is adorable, and every animation felt so professional, quite frankly I'm a little jealous! I thought even the platforming was well balanced, which is always tricky to test, especially on your own. For your first game, I hope you're really proud of what you've made, because as a one-person job this is so, so impressive. I wish a composer could've joined up with you and given the music this game deserves, because that's the only thing that pulls away from the atmosphere! Seriously, I really like what you've done for this game, and if you've got an art instagram or something I would love to follow you there!

@bluepir thank you so much for liking my game just like i like yours! I also really want someone to do tha music, that's one important thing that i really have no idea. and, sorry i do not use instagram and i do not really usually to post my work to internet.

@haotian-chen You don't need to apologise! In that case, just know that I think your style is really lovely! There's tons of places to find people to team up with, like any gamejam discord! We managed to get a wonderful musician friend to work with us even though we had only made one game prior, so don't worry! I look forward to seeing what you make in the future :D

Yeah, I just completed this game! Very clever idea, and the narrative is really well done too! Keep up the great work! :)

(And there is a part where there are 2 leaves above a boulder, it is quite hard to jump from the leave to the ledge on the right, maybe it will be easier if can put the leave slightly nearer to the ledge?)

@yword the one in level3? Yeah my friend reported that be too hard as well, the interesting thing is I actually didn’t feel it was that hard when I was testing it, but after he reported that and I try again myself I found it is much harder than I remembered. So yeah you are correct about it and I’ll definitely change it after rating session.

I love puzzle platformers, and this one was really fun! I think the season mechanics was a creative take on the theme. I also had trouble with the technical jump at the 2 leaves part (as others have mentioned), but I think the puzzle aspect was great!

Wow, I love the application of the theme here! The way the art changes through each season and phyically affects the gameplay with the leaf platforms and water is awesome. As others have mentioned, I feel it gets a little overly difficult in places, but it's still a lot of fun. Really great work!

Great job! Surprised this is your first game, really enjoyed it!

The level design of the game is great. Pixelart cute and the gameplay is very polish! Good job!!!! \o/

The seasonal changes and animation looked exceptionally good. The art in general.

The jumping felt a bit sluggish and floaty, but I can see why floatiness could be desired to make it easier to not
miss the cycle changes.

This is a game that stunned me. It's very well polished and finished, and the animations and controls are good for 72 hours.

First, the idea is very well designed, the rotation of the seasons fits the theme quite well. The design of the level where the platforms change along with the seasons is quite interactive. The four-season timeline allows me to jump ahead to the platforms that will appear. I can also plan my route by observing the change of scenery during the rotation of the seasons. Overall the game's interactions are very well designed.

The excellent pixel art is perfect to take this game to a higher level of interactivity.

Wonderful work! Do you plan to continue developing the game? I'm very much looking forward to playing the full version.

Amazing game. The graphics and audio are great, but perhaps even better was the game mechanics. They were very innovative, providing a very challenging and yet fun gameplay. The idea of having to time things just right with the seasons was neat, and resulted in some interesting puzzles. The way you also outline the things you can stand on with white was also a smart graphical decision. Overall I really liked this. Well done!

wow, did i just suddenly got 6 comment!? thanks all for liking my game!! and @bluesand sadly i do not have plan to really continue developing, i'm putting all my energy on a long-term project which is a metroidvania game. but i did have plan to make some improvement, including adding more detail art, a little redesign on some level that is harder than it should be (the two leaves jump and another one in the hidden level), also i want to complete the narration as i really wanted at the first time i come up with the idea of this game.

Really cute game! Only frustrating part was the last jump. Somehow I just walked off the icey thing and my jump didn't register, but after the fourth attempt it worked! Really nice graphics. I love the walking animation. Good touch was the story! Really felt like I accomplished something. Cool idea with the seasons. With a little tune it really would have been perfect in my opinion!
I hope you had fun making it!

@oakhardt you mean the final jump of the hidden level(three ice then two petals) or normal level3(only one ice)? humm that was weird. but there sure be some bugs that I do not understand as well lol, i am still very bad at programming after all. but i'll definitely check it!

@haotian-chen Oh, I meant at the very last level (normal level 3, one ice). Could also been on my part, but didn't quite felt right. I'm sure you will figure things out. Like I said I think you did a great job! Getting a platformer feel perfect isn't an easy task (let alone in 3 days). If you don't mind I found a really good write up on making platformer just feel right. But maybe you already know about coyote jumps and jump buffering (last section of the page): http://www.davetech.co.uk/gamedevplatformer

@oakhardt wow that looks really helpful! (Especially when my next game is also gonna be a platformer) thanks a lot!

Great game. I love it.
I noticed that many aspects of the game have been polished. The flowers and leaf platforms have their own animations when the player lands on them. The time of pressing space is able to change the jump height (usually done by adjusting the gravity scale, which is smoother).
Well done.


I think I fixed the problem that it can only play in debug mode. anyway, there definitely gonna be a big upgrade after rating season.

The platforming is satisfying in this game, a little coyote-timer on the job would've put the cherry on top. (The big jump at the end of the first half level 3 require pin-point jumping.) The graphics are on point, and the character design is cute.

I like it, graphics look good, platforms stand out well.Although I didn't really like the colour choice of the characters outline. I like the seasonal plants and puzzles.

@tinysalad is it because the outline is too bright?

@haotian-chen I'm not totally sure, sorry, could be brightness or just the contrast in general

这个做的很厉害啊，除了推箱子有点不流畅之外基本没什么问题了，还是一个人的作品，大佬能扩列吗？

@projectcolorball 喔……喔，我好像也没什么列好扩的……不如说我自己还想找一些组织咧，现在完全是闷头自己学自己做的情况，你们如果有什么讨论群之类的话我非常乐意加一下

@haotian-chen
啊，就是求加好友啦，过几周应该会有一些比赛，例如三教杯，例如taptap独立营一类的，到时候希望可以有机会组队参赛

@projectcolorball 好呀好呀，啥方式咧？微信的话我有cht321654987

@haotian-chen 加了！

@haotian-chen 加了！

Cool and interesting game!

One of the best uses of the theme so far, brilliant idea. The graphics are beautiful, but the music is lacking to really engage the player. The save system doesn't seem to work, I fell many times and came back all over again and there's no way to die to get back to my checkpoint. The menu doesn't work, although it doesn't need to. You need to resolve the checkpoints somehow. But Great job, I'm impressed.

@lincolnsalles that is a interesting report, the save system should work when im testing it. I already fixed a lot of problem, I’ll make sure the save system work and maybe add a load function to the menu before i upload new version. Thanks for reporting that!
