This game is super cute! The music really made the whole feeling of it come through. I do think it was a bit confusing at first, and the villagers took a while to find, almost to the point where I wasn't sure if they made it into the game haha. I think if you smoothed up the playing audio/recording and gave it just a bit more life it'd feel like a genuine release and not just a game jam game!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Glad you thought the music fit the experience.

I cannot stress this enough- I would LOVE to see a full version of this game. It was an exceptionally relaxing experience- I felt like I was a part of that location somewhat with all of the details added. The mechanic of replaying sounds to cause changes in the world is certainly a unique aspect of the theme as well- mad props to you, creator! I hope you continue working on it~

Developer

You'll be the first to know if we continue it!

Graphics are really good.

Audio is amazing.

I liked how you understand the theme. Good job!

Developer

Glad you liked the audio thank you for your comment!

The art style was really cute! I really like the idea of recording the sounds and then playing them back. It was a really good use of the theme. I did encounter a glitch that didn't let me play back the lightning sound to the sleeping guy. (all other sounds worked except for that one).

Overall the game was really fun and I hope you continue working on it.

Very slow and relaxing game, absolutely love the music and art.  Personally I find the "scenes" to be a bit too spaced out, but other than that, this game put me in a really chill mood rn.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed the music! Thanks for playing

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! We wanted to put more things so it will feel a bit less "empty" / "wide" but we didn't have time. I agree we should have reduced a bit the length of the level! :)

The overall audio is amazing, really wholesome music ^^.  There were some weird collisions when wandering around the map, but nothing that made it impossible to play. The main problem were some bugs that happened when rewinding some sounds, one time the rewind was stuck on loop and it was impossible to close the window, and on another run, the thunder sound wasn't playing when selected to rewind :( . The art is amazing and I wish there were more things to do, cause like, not all the sounds were used. One idea is to have the scenery elements to react to the sounds, like the doves on the tree could react to the beep and fly away, or something like that. Anyway congrats for the submission, I liked the style a lot!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the tracks

Developer

Thanks for playing and the amazing feedback! Sorry to hear that you encountered 2 bugs :( The first one (rewinded sounds may countinue playing) is something we are going to fix. The other one, I was not aware of it, we will check how to reproduce it and fix it!

Your suggestion is well spotted on. We wanted to do more sound interactions like you said but lack of time made us reducing the scope. We will definitely try to do it after the jam!
