Phenomenal tone, art, music, and writing. The visual style for me was probably the best thing. Super clear and coherent and tied together. I saw a few posts from you in the In-Progress channel of the Discord and wondered what you were cooking up.
This is a weird one because the gameplay is a little tedious, but I felt like it was supposed to be a little tedious. I mean you are cleaning the park and have a kind of bittersweet mission to it. So it really makes up for that dip in fun factor for that reason.
One small note: the audio was in general perfect, but there was a really rough trebly quality to the clippers that started to hurt my ears a bit. I don't mind some weird or funky noises, but it really stood out.
Great job, very good work. The more I think about it, the more I like it.
Absolutely beautiful art and music. The gameplay felt very stressful as I had to find the dirtiness basically immediately or else the meter wouldn't have time to go down. I wish the broom and clippers were a little faster, and the hit-boxes were more generous.
Nonetheless, I beat all 7 days. I don't know if the nothingness of the ending was intentional, but the lack of closure felt kinda sad. That's okay, though.
That's a good way to put it, actually. This game has a sort of sorrowful emotional aura to it that really makes stands out from the rest. I like that.
Thank you for allowing the cleaning button to be held down! So many other games in the jam felt like I was going to get carpal tunnel! For the gameplay, I would say it would be nice if the dirt spawned a bit faster and maybe if the days went by faster. It felt like I was just waiting around sometimes.
Great game overall!
What a wholesome game, I really liked the little poems at the end of each level. The art is pretty, the visual style is clear.
I think the main improvement would be to adjust the areas or just find a way to better indicate where the sweeping / pruning / etc happends, because I often ended up wasting seconds before I realized nothing is happening. Also, there could be some indicators that point you to where the dirty objects are, because I had to constantly go up-and-down the screen to be able to spot then,
But these are just minor suggestions for improvement, the game was really fun as it is.
I like the art style hehe. nooooooo the park. I missed the controls prompt I think it would be good to add it in the description. Particles are cool and the animation is cute! I like the tree fading animation when the character is behind it. The hitbox was not where I expected and I kept missing the dirt lol. Overall a very charming game. Great work!
Thank you for the feedback! I added more info about the controls in the game page.
One of the better executions of narrative in a jam. The opening was a strong hook. I'm not sure it really hit on the theme for me, but the art was very impressive and well polished overall. Well done!
Thanks!
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the terror genre soo I prefer to take a chill and cute approach, but Yeah, not the most "Haunted" game ever hehehe
