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 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 :)
I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
It would be really great to team up with you, especially if it involves programming! I'm studying right now and have a busy schedule..but I think we can get in touch sometime and discuss it! ^-^
If you want, we can get to know each other's work now, if you tell me how to contact you!)
Sure, i'm ginzu19 on discord
Thank you! I'll be sure to write you soon!
The concept is really intriguing! I appreciated the unique take on the theme. A little more content would have made it even better, but overall, it was an enjoyable experience. Great job!
The idea is very cool! I can get the theme here. The game could be just a bit longer!!
Yes, you are right, I too wish I could have done more, although there were more ideas for interactives, like the layout of the house. But I had to scale back my plans for some reasons.
But now I'm motivated to make this into a complete project, and leave this one as its prototype!)
Good the hear that!
i 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
Very 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!
Haha, yeah!) It shows life through the eyes of an introvert whose most friends are extroverts :D
Thanks!
Very nice art design!
I love the ominous, but quirky atmosphere. And completing those tasks felt good.
this 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!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it!
I've already visited your game page and played the witch game, your game also has a very nice drawing! You did a good job! ;)
A pretty game. Nice atmosphere. I wish it had more to play, because i really like the tiny nature house. The sofa made of tree is really cool! And the plant is so nice draw! Good job!
Really nice and atmospheric game! Would have loved if the actions could have been deeper in gameplay since I just wanted to stay longer in the game. Great job!
Nice game, I got captivated by the atmosphere
This is more a work of art than a game. It left such a big impact on me and the interactions were memorable despite the short runtime. I hope you understand that i cannot give a lot of stars for the "fun" aspect, but you absolutely nailed all other aspects
Yea, that’s alright!)
I took part in the jam for training, it was the main thing for me to do something in a week. And considering that I am a bad programmer - it became a real challenge. So I focused on what I was best at, even if it meant that it would deprive me of any of the grading categories.
Absolutely amazing game. So proud of the lil' guy for achieving the to-do list!
Mind checking out my entry?

Thank you! Yes, I’ll definitely watch it and share my impressions!
Thank you for creating this piece! It basically described my day and I so feel for the creature. I loved the artstyle, and the interaction with the plant (Spoiler!). The music had a really nice broken feel to it which I recognize from old VHS tape, and I love it <3

And thank you for playing it! I'm glad the story of the game was familiar to you (hopefully in a positive way!). I also took the idea of interacting with the flower from my own life :)
Glad you liked the music, in the description of the game I signed that it's not mine, but I tried to pick up a suitable from those that are not licensed)
Oh wow! GREAT art, loved the concept, loved the plants. Well done! Didn't expect the storm at the end ahahah
Ahah, yea, thank you!!! I wanted something unusual, fun and at the same time from the category of 'yes, such a thing is definitely familiar to many people'. ;D
And you definetely made it. Again, great job *-*
very unique, style and sound. the music especially. wish it was longer i think it has a lot of potential !
Thank you so much!
It looks so beautiful. I guess it's really promising, it could be a nice quest project. Hope you continue to work on it.
I wanted to do a sequel in the beginning. But after everyone writes that they would like to see a sequel - even more I want to make one)
I love the collage style and the super cute fuzzy lil ball. Consider it's just done by one person in this short amount of time, it's reasonable that there isn't too much content, and I would love to see moreee! The world and art have so much room to expand on, it's just a matter of time to make the gameplay experience complete!
I also really wanted to do more ;-;
But I decided to rationally evaluate my capabilities and time, so I had to cut down the content and make a beautiful visual. However, I am not abandoning ideas for this project ;)
It doesnt feel like very much gameplay but its visually beautiful and almost perfectly suits the theme! I would like to make the little fuzzball happy
I'm very glad that you liked the visual part! I focused specifically on the idea and visual execution, in which I feel confident :)
