Smooth controls, pretty and minimalist visuals, interesting use of haikus. I don't quite get the perspective mechanic, but the game itself is devoid of anything unpleasant I suppose. Very nice.

Great look, smooth movement and an  interesting theme. Excellent sound as well.

Very unique aesthetic here. Loved the soft piano in the background, accompanied by the unique jump sound from descending piano notes. All of the sounds really helped bring this one into its own. I'm personally not too good at paying attention to all the poetry on the sides though lol, from what I read it was nice. Levels took a few tries but were all doable and, most importantly, enjoyable. Had fun playing. Good Job!!

Love the music and sfx! Super peaceful and relaxing! Great concept! Hopefully you can make more levels after the voting period! One question I have is, is the player supposed to not be able to finish both haikus each level? If that is intentional, that really plays into the theme! If not, I would suggest adjusting it because it feels like it is impossible to finish both in one playthrough. Either way is fine, but I would suggest tweaking the game to make that artistic or gameplay choice more apparent. Great job!! :D

ah that's a good point that it should be clearer what's possible or not, however yes it is possible to get both of the haikus in each level

Colors could be toned down just a touch to make it easier on the eyes, but an interesting concept.
