How does your game fit the theme?
The player (Dandelion) wants to go to New York but of course, she can not move by herself. She doesn’t care how many generations it takes, she shoots her seed up, hoping that her descendents will reach the destination.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes except the music and the fonts.

Unique concept and cute game, as others have said, the speed of the duck can make it really frustrating.

Scrapbook QuestSuper original game with nice concept. your flower is looking great and gives me the feel of oil painting and pencil art for me.The only thing I hate in this game is the duck in water is moving too fast,unable to hitch hike the duck and the environment graphics should be improve and polish as well

New Start OlD WayThis game is super original, for me, and fits the theme very well. I love the sober aesthetics.

Necromancer ApprenticeshipI like the relaxing atmosphere. It was deffecult to get off the dog-train in the middle :) I love that part!

Ophelia Never SinksWow, nice job! The dandelion seed controls are spot on, that is 100% how a dandelion seed should control. The theme hits like a ton of bricks when you land your first seed. I love the creative ways you combined the theme and the controls. The "press z to grow" mechanic feels unnecessary at first, but I couldn't imagine the game without it. Great design, great mechanics, great theme, great art, great music. 5/5!

Escape From The USS GroundhogWhat a cool, original game mechanic. When I saw the thumbnail, I was curious how a dandelion game would play....but this is great. I had fun jumping from cute and unlikely-but-fertile locations. Easily the most elaborate jumping mechanic I've seen in this jam. :)
I got stuck on the airplane/statue level, and gave up after probably 8 tries to land either on or near the statue, or at the end of the level. Not sure what I was supposed to do there, but it was a fun journey .

Bound by Your WordMany thanks for playing up to the last level. Landing to statue or near statue is correct way to go however there's currently bug in the last level where collision detection of water (which triggers game over) surpass the goal so currently no way to clear that stage. At current stage, touching the statue I will consider as completing the game so thank you very much for playing all through the game.
Such a serene game with a simple yet satisfying design.
I liked the artwork you made for each stage of the dandelion growing and dead after the seed was spread. Sounds really went well with the mood of the game.
The arrow pointing from water to x was a little confusing since the x button was being used, however, it was intuitive enough that now was a time to hitchhike.
Really nice submission.

AscentCool game, plays smoothly, RTG represent! I wasn't sure how to finish the last level though XD

Earth2MarsMany thanks for playing up to the last level. Key for the last level is to wait till hints come by... however there's currently bug in the last level where collision detection of water (which triggers game over) surpass the goal so currently no way to clear that stage. Unfortunately I can't update the game during the Game Jam but appreciated if you take that into account.
Cute game!! The hitch hiking was a really nice touch that rounded out the game nicely!

Ewe Shall Not PassHey another cool dandelion game ! :D
Good idea and great game design, good job! ;)
I think there just miss some checkpoint because on long level it's a little annoying to restart from beginning each time we lose ^^'
