This is such a relaxing game. I played it even before the rating period started and I still think it’s one of the nicest games I played so far.

Quite a soothing game to play. The art and audio were very charming. The gameplay is a bit repetitive for my liking, but if you're looking to just sit back and play a wholesome, chill game, this is the game for you. Good job on putting together such a polished product in only a month!
I agree the game is a bit repetitive. Initially, I kind of intended the game to be endless, but later I decided that having an ending would be rewarding to the player, so I just choose an arbitrary number of 3 loops before the game ends. I'd certainly like to expand on the gameplay if I had time! Thanks for playing our game!
I loved the atmosphere and aesthetic of this game. The music, graphics, and story all worked together to create a pleasing and peaceful game. Really impressive work!
Really nice set of colors! Loved the chip tune music, too :) Nice work.
I love the 8-bit theme in the music and visuals, and the butterflies were so beautiful. It was so pretty seeing them flutter around you, although when the first one appeared a spent a while trying to catch and interact with one haha. Loved the chill vibes, a great game overall!!
Really well done! Great visuals, the song was beautiful and I loved the story telling.
That was a very cute game. Love the music and the overall chill vibes. The butterfly graphics are also very pretty, and it was cool seeing more of them fly around as you progress through the game. I also really enjoyed the dialogue, it's as if I'm playing with another person as I'm figuring out the mazes.
It's actually pretty hard for me to think of something to improve on here. I guess maybe mention that you can jump repeatedly on the bubble columns? At first I thought you only had one jump before I tried spamming it.
Great job on the game, I enjoyed it a lot. Super charming and relaxing.
Shockingly well executed premise for such a simple yet great game. I really had fun with this one and can see a lot of potential for future expansion. Honestly this is one of the most charming games I've ever met. 5 minutes in, the starting question the machine which asks a small price, just a coin, to create a butterfly tells me, you can move left or right, or just enjoy the music. There are parts where from the very perspective puzzles become more difficult, but I promise, when you adjust, you'll feel encapsulated by this peaceful pocket universe.
Very fresh experience to me. It took me a while to understand the moving mechanic. Very interesting.
Neat concept. I like the rotating isometry, I think it adds a lot to keeping the platforming fresh and unique. I like the music and the artwork as well. Very nice polish.
Love the art of the game but the music was a little harsh. If there was a way to turn it down it would be nice.
love the feel you have created with this. The 8-bit music is beautiful and pixel art style works so well together.
I've had the tune stuck in my head for at least a day now :) May I ask what software was used to create the music?
