Awesome little game! I had a very relaxing moment: the sounds and music are on point, the graphics are simple, but perfectly fitting, the concept is really good... Honestly, it's a very good experience, and I really enjoyed it. Congrats!

Relaxing and pleasant atmosphere. I was hoping to be able to sit in the damp soil and soak it in, but I had to keep on moving. Some kind of guide on which the next water spot is in would be helpful too, I had to retry many times before finding the correct routes.

Nice relaxed gameplay and not boring at all this is hard to do. So a job well done 👍.

Like the smoothness of the roots going through the dirt. Finding dark areas is a smart gameplay mechanic to add. Nice short story !

Very hard but totaly cozy and unique game. It is beautiful, calm, plays nice and overall has a good feel to itself. Well done!

The gameplay is simple and very fun, I like the visuals a lot, the story is simple but keeps you hooked, only thing is that sometimes there's no wet dirt for a long time and you have no way of progressing.

Very cool root growing system, looks difficult to create and animate. Nice job with the game and the story!

A nostalgic adaptation that hits home for fans of an older game, but could benefit from additional randomization to maintain challenge. The gameplay loop and heartfelt story create a truly touching experience.

reminds me a lot of one of my favorite games on one of the last lds. But this is a great adaptation and I enjoyed it as much as I did back then. Felt a bit harder, but then I also didn't relised that I can remember the dark spots like HansLiu said ;)

Fun little game! Love how it went full circle

met my expectations from the thumbnail! I like the concept but could add some randomization as it became really easy after I memorized where all the wet dirt was at.

Mind rating mine?
