Hey! Played on stream with a friend if you want real-time feedback. This was a fun prototype and I'd love to play in this world more and see what else I could do with the wind given objectives and other interactions.
It took me a few attempts (and I mean like trying on different days) to successfully play the game. I didn't realize the wind was the white cloud. I would hold left and right while staring at the leaves and not see anything happen and think maybe it was my Mac, or my keyboard or something because I know other people were able to play, it wasn't until I realized the wind was represented by the white cloud/atmosphere shape that I was able to dive in and have fun. Maybe you could draw attention to the player character earlier. Either overtly with an arrow or outline or something, or just have that on screen alone on a black canvas first, then fade in the rest of the scene so I know right off the bat what I'm controlling.
Not a big deal and doesn't affect my rating because it doesn't tie into the category, but I think you might be missing out on some ratings because other people might have moved on before trying multiple times.
Really unique entry and great idea. Thanks for sharing.
