I have no clue how it happened, don't know what it was, but this adorable, beautiful little game actually brought tears to my eyes at the end. I only managed to get one flower but the dialogue the character made about how disappointed he was; emotionally connected me to him and made me empathize and care about what he cared about. But then at the end when she was happy to see him anyway, plus the "It was never really about the flowers", was so beautiful and tear-jerking.
In terms of actual game mechanics, I thought that the magic energy soul ball attack thingy was really freaking cool, the enemies were intimidating and difficult to kill, the fact that we had to protect a rose was really cool, and I loved the day to day system.
In terms of art, OHMYGODITWASGORGEOUS
