Very atmospheric game, a visually pleasing interface, and sprites, along with cool sound design, enhance the interesting gameplay. I missed having a tutorial, but I quickly grasped what was happening. I believe the game fits the theme well, offering a non-standard solution. Overall, I really enjoyed it!

The art and music for this are insanely good, other than that though I think the mechanics could use a little bit of work. For example, when i started the game I had no idea whether i was supposed to be purposely hitting the people or avoiding them, so I immediately game over'ed trying to avoid them.
Good submission!
Nice game! the art style is simple but really nice, the music is really fitting and the game mechanic is unique I think it can be a really good mobile game!
Art and sound design are really good. Like other people said maybe add instructions or tutorial but still pretty fun.

Love the simplistic style of the art nice music and the gameplay consistent
only thing kinda didnt knew what to do maybe put instructions somewhere but awsome spin on thhe game
@Niister - I really enjoyed the game, loved the take on the theme and the games atmosphere was great. I loved the art and sound direction really reminded of spring.
I was a little confused to begin with so maybe some way to explain the game at the start would be good?
@N3wyn - ditto
One of my favorite spins on the theme so far! Really fun! Though it took me multiple tries to realize what I had to do, would have benefitted from a slower start maybe. Nevertheless amazing idea and well executed too. I had a lot of fun with it
Advantages: great music, especially sneezes! Creative plot, perfect graphics - simple and elegant.
Things to improve: too fast at the beginning. I started 3 times until I understood what I had to do. Also, I would add a leaderboard or a score to reach (e.g. if all the town suffers - 1000 people-you are the winner)
General impression: fantastic game! And I am waiting for the new games;)
Overall graphic is really good, only people seems a little off with the environment.
I found it difficult to know how exactly the game works. First I avoided people to not cause allergy, then I used as much pollen as I could for every person, and then I tried to use only one pollen per person.
When I had no pollen left, I couldn't get how to have it back. I thought that I had to catch the leaves falling or the dandelions on the side of the street. I realized then that maybe it's just a matter of time.
So I would make changes in this direction. Make the player in full control of his pollen: make him reach for dandelions to recharge it and then rush back in the street to catch people, make him focus on precision trying to consume only one pollen at a time, show a clearer collision box with the people.
Great art, Is it just me or if i keep playing for long my forehead hurts, Sad but lack of sounds, Besides everything bad pretty fun
Gameplay-wise I kept running into an issue of all of my pollen would get used up on one person then be left frantically hoping that I'd get another before the next person. That may have been intentional, but it certainly left more to be desired as I would feel defeated when the game would use it all on one person. Perhaps if the game continues with future development, you could create different types of people that use different levels of pollen, or add in some sort of safeguard that ensures all of it doesn't get used on one person. Overall fun game with room for improvement
