Nice cosy game with cute and unusual art style. The theme is also really unique and I like it a lot. Good job.

How does your game fit the theme?
My idea is reflected in an ordinary story from our life: routine cleaning before the arrival of loud guests. First we quietly clean our house, and then we wait with bated breath for this crowd to arrive. Like a storm.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote most of the code myself, as well as all of the arts (except for some photos for photobash). The music is not mine.

I really like the character design! Te rest of the art is nice, too. The vibe reminded me of Amanita Design games. The music choice was fitting. The theme usage was good, though I've seen quite a few games where you need to do a bunch of chores before "the storm" arrives. Some sound effects and more vivid animations would have improved it even more!

Ella's alone nightReally nice art style! Really love the main character design and collage style!!!!! Just a small detail, when I was talking with the tree, the character was still having the animation of walking. And also, maybe when finishing a task, there should be a feedback (like a sound) because we can't always see the board.

Space Virus EscapeI love everything about this game! It's so cute and relatable! The character design is great, and the combination of photos with painted elements is really well done! I would love to play this as a full game!
The only feedback I have is that the walking animation doesn’t seem like a smooth cycle. I can see when the loop ends and starts again. If you were aiming for a snappier animation, then well done, and feel free to disregard my comment! But if that wasn’t the goal, maybe you could adjust the first and last frames to make the transition smoother?
But I loved this! Very impressive!

StormRushIt's probably from the number of frames in the animation, I know for a fact that there are only 6 of them.
So it doesn't feel smooth enough just in the way he's shuffling his feet.
Because the animation ends with the same frame as it begins.
When I make a bigger game I will definitely give all the animations more attention and make them more than 6 frames. Thanks you for giving me feedback!
I felt in love with your art, its sooo beautiful! This was a really sweet and nostalgic experience.
I read that you want to continue working on this. I'm a programmer, if you want I would love to work with you on this or some other projects :)

Dumbest Tourists Of Timelinesi wish this game was a little bit longer, but the art style is amazing and the overall vibe of the game was amazing it kinda reminds me of fran bow is some way
really captured the theme calm before the storm, totally feel how the main character feels - finally getting to sit down and chill but then realize you got guests to deal with haha

Fish Out The EndVery cool game about a black dude cleaning his home in peace only to be crushed by his own friends at the end. Maybe this game is trying to tell us a life lesson about being more cautious in life. Good game!

Petville (Brackeys Game jam 2024)I love the ominous, but quirky atmosphere. And completing those tasks felt good.

Shattered Riftthis game's art direction is my favorite; i love the atmosphere, as other people have mentioned & the simplicity. it really does capture the feeling of preparing to host guests, but i love the whimsy used to convey such relatability. i love this game!
