The art and feel in this game was great!  It really sucked me in to the gameplay, for sure.

This really fit the theme well and was also super fun to play.

Really liked it! Super simple, but a really lovely time to look at and play through. I love the touch of having the player float back up to the island if they fall, makes the game feel really sweet and innocent. The main character animation was really well done, great entry! I also loved your game from the GMTK 2021 jam.

Everything in this is so pretty! I also love the music :). It's fun getting more and more abilities and experimenting with them. My only note is that I sometimes would fall trough a (visible) cloud. 

Amazing job!

This was a beautiful game! I loved how the mechanics worked, and how good all of the physics of the jumps felt. The art was also beautiful. It didn't seem to totally match the theme, but other than that it's a wonderful game and very impressive that you made it in a week!

My favorite game in this jam so far ^-^ everything is cute, from jumping through clouds, and how you not die but float back to the same position.


I think the only weird thing was the background picture. It was centered, and not stretched to full screen.

Perfect score. I loved how I felt. I loved the theme. I loved the mechanics. I loved the music. I loved how peaceful it was.

Thank you for making this.

Very cool graphics! The gameplay is very fluent. WIthout knowing that it is a dream, it is hard to get the theme. I didn't expect the double jump to be that high, but I liked it like it was :]

Great work!

game is a little basic and short but the art and sound design is amazing

Developer(+1)

Yeah, it's very short x) I just wanted to test the concept of gaining abilities by planting seeds, like a farm game mixed with a Metroidvania, but this is in its simplest form. Thank you!

Fun game. Love the style, animation, graphics, the way the character reset itself after a fall, and how the power ups are activated. Very cool, I just wish it was a bit longer :-)

Great music and vibe!

I absolutely love the mood of this game. It's so dreamy and peaceful. Normally I find platformers annoying and rage inducing, but the controls here are so smooth, and the atmosphere is so relaxing. I really loved the art, too. It's simplistic but has a lot of personality and I think it all works really well together with the music and gameplay.

I very like this game. Has specific and dreamlike vibe to it. Skill unlocking mechanic is very satisfying and audio-visual presentation is just stunning.

I love the camera work and the graphics! The concept of gaining skills by planting seeds is satisfying. I wish there was more to do.

Stunning, beautiful, incredible. Had a wonderful time. Everything really worked in tandem. Love the music, art, movement. Everything really. One thing that's amazing is the "death" state when you just float back. Truly amazing. Very well done, had a great time.

Also, I really hope the game title is an Oingo Boingo reference xd. Great game!

Haha no, I had never heard of them but I listened to the song, it was pretty good actually xD And I´m glad you liked the game :)
