Adorable! another lovely game but I do feel the character base speed it quite slow making it a long game cycle to start.

A very cute, atmospheric, and cozy game. You wander around, collecting pebbles to take home. The game has pleasant controls and an inventory management element. I really enjoyed it, you guys are great.

Incredible, definitely a hidden gem. It was hard to read the item descriptions when you first pick them up and I had some trouble getting stuck in/around trees. But overall I had a great time playing and the wind in the trees was honestly so calming

It feels really good; picking up stones is very relaxing, and collecting stones can make me run so fast that I end up clipping through the terrain, just like The Flash. However, while playing, I repeatedly harvested tools I already had, and even after collecting for a long time, I was still missing the last stone. In the end, the game inexplicably crashed.

@hexela @bearcage @jo-bettaque @rionisse @lil-chyn @kayrum @awanami @leo115 @accardo @dullai @korzhik @nextnoon @ghpxi @umc049 Thank you for playing, I appreciate the kind words and feedbacks!

@umc049 The game is heavily RNG-based and so there is a chance of getting bad luck even with all the luck modifiers, for instance the chance of getting an additional tool is 1% and the chance of obtaining the rarest stone is 2% so you were extremely unlucky. And sorry about the crash, I didn't have time to optimize it

This game looks great, and I love the idea. The style and everything else meshed really well and the mood was fantastic. I did feel like I was fighting with the game to let me go where I wanted at times, maybe the momentum or something. I also couldn't tell where "deep water" was, and I lost the house once or twice. I figured out when I had a heavy rock in my bag I could "bunny hop" by jumping right as I landed in order to get a boost of speed haha. Overall very fun :)

Really charming game! At some point my character unfortunately dissapeared but I was able to keep moving.
The character movement was really cute though. Maybe a map feature would be nice, so you can see where you havent been yet
