It's lovely, but I would like to have more challenge for the level in the house.

Thank you for playing! I am aware that the levels are way too easy but I focused more on the letter sharing side until there is no time for the actual platforming gameplay

Character movement is promising for a fast paced platformer. There is a lack in audio but the art is really cute so it cancels out. Fits the theme well too so overall, decent entry :)

Hi! Even if it's not very polished as a "game", it's a great idea for an interactive experience. Very cool concept, congratulations!

Really cool game! Though I was a little bummed that after writing a pretty heartfelt letter to my dog, I couldn't find anything but spam when delivering. Oh well - that's not on you, mean people will ruin anything if you give them the chance. Great job nonetheless :)

Thank you all for playing!

@drainkid I am glad you get to expressed your feelings through this rushed attempt of a game and thank you immensely for taking the game seriously. Regarding the spam issue I wont take it too seriously as I don't think people are being mean but just trying the feature out and see if it work, and to those players I still appreciate them for trying the game.

Very cute game. I don't think other's realized that their message could be seen by others eventually (I didn't until later), so I think that's the reason for some of the random ones, but other than that and the simple letters, I loved it. Well done :)

Great game! It would be even better if the gameplay could be improved. I saw that you mentioned spending a lot of time on text sharing, it would be great if the competition could last a little longer.

By the way, I drew a picture for the development team (Yim Su Chi & Naive Games) and everyone in this forum post!
I hope everyone can stay passionate and keep pursuing what they love to do!

Cute characters in the game. The game felt really simple, but the idea of delivering thoughts to loved ones surely was touching. Though I would have wished there was more to the game. Regardless, good work!

I would suggest opting out of the Humor category, as that's not what this game is meant for. It has a really powerful and moving concept, and I was really touched by it. The platformer mechanics were weak, sure, but that was secondary to the important emotional aspect. Thank you!
