As others have said, I do wish it was a little more game-like, but its definitely a really pretty and relaxing experience, with nice graphics and music :)

Developer

Cool "anti-stress" postcard, though not much of a game. Perhaps it could be turned more game like, if the sakura had to be pressed in a certain order, or a memory game like "find a pair to make the flowers bloom" or something. Very relaxing!

Developer

Many thanks for your comment and tips!! For sure I'll think about it for next updates :D

An experience for the eyes, I would say. This game isn't about growing your flowers, or watering your garden, or shrinking in size, it's a peaceful artistic expression. For suggestions, I would make many different variations for branch variations. The gameplay is of opening the sakura buds and watching their petals scatter out. Adding a button that helps to generate a new sakura tree would be engaging for the people who want to click more, and the relaxed crowd can find a tree they like and just enjoy that one. Good game, can't wait to see more!

Developer

Really thanks for your comments, feedback and tips!. Very good idea adding a button that helps to generate new sakuras. Yeah, definitely, with more time these weeks, I'll try to add more content and gameplay variations and maybe make more chapters about japanese culture. Thanks :D

Quite a calm little game! Although i'm not sure if it is really a game by definition, but it as definitely a nice and relaxing experience! I would have maybe liked to maybe have had a little more content like maybe another sakura branch or something.  Overall this was a relaxing experience that was very polished. Well done!

This game is therapeutic. Seems like something I might come back and play if I've had a stressful day. Good job! 

Developer

Thanks for your comment! That's the feeling that I was looking for when I made this experience :D

This was a chill lil experience! I love the polish you put in everything (the slight tweening when you click on a flower, the tree "growing" in) 

Developer

Hi, many thanks for your comment!! and realizing those little details in the game. For the tree I had to split it in many parts and set delays to catch that "growing vibe".

The game is pretty and relaxing. 

While there is not a lot of gameplay, the quality for making this game's aesthetic is 10/10. 

Developer(+1)

Really thanks for you comment.  I really like aesthetics on games.

It's good for meditating, I really enjoyed it, but there could be more gameplay, like adding a transition, where flowers fell off and you need to pop leaves for example

Developer

Hi! many thanks for playing, comment and TIPS! I'm gonna think in further updates and definitely I'll add more playing mechanics :D

I love this game. It is so relaxing and chill. Quite meditating. The music fits perfect. Even though its hasn't so much gameplay, I really love the experience and that makes up for that very well :)

I love the minimalistisk aesthetics. Hoped for a high score because of my mast (rather slow) skills, but it was a fun experience. Thanks!

Developer
