Oh I would absolutely sulk....

This entry brought a smile on my face. It went from cute, to stressful then to eerie, cute again and finally oh shi-...

I went through all the motions with Petal. great job!

Developer

To hear that our entry made someone smile makes us so happy! Thank you for playing!

It's rare for a jam entry to be this story-heavy, and the "we will not be coming back from this" line was quite sobering. As others have said, though, there's not much in the way of gameplay.

Developer

We are definitely going to add more to this game post jam. We've only been messing with Godot for a combined month, so there has been a lot learned during this jam. Thank you for the feedback and for playing!

Cute! Had a lot of waiting around though (for the repairs, and for the black hole to swallow me) but still a cute game.

Those are definitely two areas we want to add more story and tasks to. Glad you liked it and thank you for playing!

Great plot & art style, and the flower watering mechanic is the cherry on top

Developer

I'm so glad people are enjoying the flower watering! Thank you for playing!

Thank you!!

Cute art and concept. It would've been nice to have a little more gameplay in the flying section, it was just hold right for 2+ mins and then wait another min. It also seems strange to need to use the mouse rather than E to advance dialogue.

Developer(+1)

Totally agree! Asteroid spawning and other mechanics like a health system during that section were definitely on the radar if we had more time. Also good point on the dialogue interaction. This was an awesome learning opportunity and we appreciate the feedback! Thanks for playing!

I love it! Just being able to water my flowers casually as I'm slowly sucked into a blackhole totally sold it to me.

Doing things like that really helps you take your mind off things in stressful situations! :)

Thanks for playing!

Very cute game. You guys did a great job of capturing the atmosphere and telling a story. The sound design was very good. Great job!

Developer

Appreciate the feedback! Thank you for playing! :)
