Good Game :DD but you should explain the mechanic first :DD other then that its very fun :DDDDD
if you would like to test my game:
https://itch.io/jam/wowie-jam-2/rate/552828
thanks for playing and giving feedback!! I'll definitely find a way to explain the mechanic in future updates & games.
I would love to play your game, but i only have a mac to work with at the moment and it looks like it's only available for windows. If you can make a make version let me know and I'll give it a go!!
i like it, even i dont know what it was !
thanks for giving it a shot!!
i really want to play your game but i'm on a mac and the download isn't working :( looks super cute and polished though!
This game is a piece of art. It got me chilling and I somehow got goosebumps with the music. A super cool experience, thanks for making this game :D Also feel free to check my game if you can ;)
Also love the parth of the image dancing XDD "the image is dancing! you're dancing! (take a dance break)" Super funny
hey thanks for playing!! and dancing! haha
played your game, it's SO GOOD! thanks for giving mine a go :)
I don´t know what that is but it is cool.
haha thanks for giving it a shot!
Very poetic game helped by a trippy music !
Great submission
thanks for playing!
edit: unfortunately i only have access to a mac right now, so i can't play your game, but it looks like a really fun one!
I absolutely loved the background music choice, I didnt quite undrestand what was going on but Ive seen some beautiful sentence like "ice rose thorn, melt or let it be", how ever music didnt start ever again after refresh but I could listen to it from the license link. Also I love html instant games without loadings. tnx
hey thanks for playing! i appreciate the feedback, next time i'll try to make it more apparent what's going on. so far as music goes -- what browser are you playing in? i think that might have an effect on it working, but i'm not sure. anyways, thank you for bringing this to my attention -- i'll do my best to fix it!
nice little text game (: I enjoyed it, even though i was really lost at the start
thanks so much for playing, and the feedback!! can i ask what made you lost at the start, and at which point you started to feel more oriented?
Simple and good transitions, but bit confusing game. I like the sounds.
Thanks for playing and providing feedback! What would make it less confusing? or what made it confusing?
Alright! At the beginning I thought I need to highlight the text to do something as clicking start wasn't starting the game
Then I got a rose and a lot of stem stem STEM STEM STEM STEM STEM stem stem stem text
Then I got some poetic questions and tips, and I knew it's not my type of the game. I'm sorry.
No need to apologize! thanks so much for your feedback, i really appreciate it :)
I didn't know what to do but I figured that when I am clicking to go back in browser I am backing in game which is cool!! Oh and I love how this poem is written good job.
thanks for playing! glad you figured out that bug/mechanic — would you say that it added (or detracted) from your play experience?
Appreciate you and your feedback!
I was confused but at the same time I like it, I got to dance with my reflection hahah
glad you enjoyed! I'll keep the confusion feedback on mind for future projects -- seems to be a reoccurring theme! Thank you for your feedback
edit: what would make it less confusing?
Nice, I felt like it was kinda visual novel like in aspects as I tried to piece together a story as I went. I'm not sure if hat was the intention, but could possibly be a thing you go down.
Great work!
Thanks for your feedback! It wasn't quite my intention (honestly was running around trying to figure out what was happening lol) but i'm glad it came together that way — for future updates i'm definitely going to try and make it more like a visual novel like you described!! thanks so much for playing and providing feedback!!
i tried to play your game but it wouldn't run on my computer (im using a mac). please lmk if you know any ways i could get it to run on a mac and i'd love to check out your work!
Not usually the type of game I like, but its well done! Nice music and colors, very relaxing. Well done.
thanks for your feedback!!
Interesting, but it's a little hard to understand...
thanks for your feedback!!
edit: i only have access to a mac at the moment but your game looks super fun — wish i could play it!
edit: what would make it less confusing?
I wasn't sure what I was going into when I first played.
I'll definitely have to play it again with a clear mind.
thanks for giving it a shot! can i ask you how your experience was/why a "clear mind" would be better to play through?
I just was tired and didn't really pay a lot of attention to the text at first. Then I realized I was ruining the experience by doing so.
thanks for playing!! i know it's a bit weird
Well, I was not sure at all what I was supposed to do, but I suppose such is the nature of such a lovely poetic type game. I quite like the idea but, lack of understanding had some drawbacks to fun factor but, the enjoyment came from the very intriguing text. Great atmosphere.
thanks for your feedback, i'll keep that "fun factor" in mind!! appreciate you for engaging with my work :)
Totally enthralled by this. Had to give it a few plays :)
Thanks for playing it!!
What have I just played??? *confused noises intensifiy*
It was... something. It was ART! It's the most original and creative submission so far.
5/5 creativity... NO, 500/5 creativity... NO!!!
WOWIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE/5 Creativity! NOOO!!!

Ikalumbabam??? Is this the word in the song? What does it mean. It sounds amazing!
Anyways, great submission. Good job!
awww thanks so much for your support!! i appreciate you SO much!
the song is a love song, goes:
manang biday, ilukatmo man
‘Ta bintana ikalumbabam
which translates to:
older sister[1] biday[2], open it
the window, open the window (so we can talk)
picture: serenading an amore from their yard. bintana is window, and i'm not entirely sure the grammar of Ilocano but ikalumbabam is (i think lol) a morphologically complex verb meaning "to open and lean on the window sill" (like ilukatmo man) just including other information (tense, aspect, focus, etc) and possibly having undergone some phonetic transformations as well.
[1] "older sister" is not a perfect translation of manang, i use it in my family to refer to any woman older than me, it's more of a gendered honorific if anything.
[2] "biday" i think is a name
thanks so much for listening and asking!
<3 <3 <3
Nice and relaxing; the sound is excellent. I really enjoyed the 'p' 'l' 'u' 'c' 'k' moment with the 5 characters - that really pulled me in felt like I was plucking flower pedals. :)
Thanks so much for playing and providing feedback! <3
Really cool and calming.
An excellent game with great atmoshphere! I love this game!
Keep up the great work!

I love it! Great addition to this jam. Really poetic and calming, Great Job!
