In what way does your game fit the theme?
The game's concept is that you are re-growing a forest. Unfortunately I did not get to implement all the features or story I wanted.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All code and assets are made by myself.

I like the art style and the whole oriental vibe! I don't see how the theme fits though...

Beautiful Okami style graphics! You could definitely build a pretty game out of this style!

Sadly couldn't play the game as it's locked in full screen and does not work with my aspect ratio :(
But from what I can see, your game looks really interesting! I hope that I can try it in the near future!

This looks really cool and is clearly beautiful, but I wouldn't quite call it a game yet. Keep working on it and upload it to itch later on! Consider rating our game if you haven't already.

I think you have the framework for a really cool concept here and I'd love to see you expand on it! The artstyle is really cool and I'd love to see more assets in the game. I especially like how the paint comes out when you hold the mouse down. However, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do when I initially started the game. Also, the final part of swiping the water towards the cloud was not really working all that well. Still, I think if you really gave this project more time I can see this being a good game. Keep up the good work!

I love its simplicity! The music and art go well together. Sadly the swiping from water to cloud didn't work. But fixing this could make a great game and it can be easily expanded. Very cool!

Love the art style a ton! I'm a sucker for games that look like they were drawn on paper.

i loved the music and the theme so relaxing . for the swiping it didn't work for me but clicking did i got the cloud to appear but the swiping mechanic is not working i think couldn't get it to rain a little bit improvement and it could be great

Developer

Yes! I was definetely going for something laid back. Also, it takes me forever to make art assets so I wanted a style that wasnt too complex. I will definetely be able to improve the controls in the future though. Thank you so much for taking time to play my game and provide great feedback!

I like the japanese style and the music, but I couldn't understand how to play it.. could never appear.

Developer

Thanks so much for the feedback! :D 

The cloud appears when the energy bar is full.  But it's a pain to get it to rain. I wish I had more time in order to implement smoother controls and a tutorial.  Thanks for playing though!

I have to say I really love the theme of the Japanese ink painting, super nice! The music is beautiful and I quite enjoyed listening to it! Sadly I couldn't re-grow my forest, I couldn't seem to make the clouds rain on my tree :(

I hope to see you expand on this after the Jam, I would love to see what you do!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for the positive feedback! Yea the cloud is really janky, you have to water it right when its above the plant and all the hitboxes are  far too small :( 

I was originally going to add a slow-mo effect when you start painting but I ran outa time haha

Submitted

Ah I understand, well I'll keep my eye out for an update in the future after the jam! :)

I don't understand how to play it. There was no tutorial or something. I think I've got to collect suns, but nothing happens when I've collected enough. I'd really like a tutorial so I can understand the game. Otherwise, nice music and art style.

Developer (1 edit)

Haha, yea I am surprised I was able to get a working game out at all. Thank you so much for playing my  weird game ! The premise of the game is to collect suns by striking through them with your mouse/brush. Then when you fill the green bar a cloud appears which you have to connect to the water to make it rain on the plant.  I would include instructions in the Jam post, but I can only figure out how to write them in the description of the main page.
