The audio! Reminds me of old SNES games like Yoshi's Island. Art is even more arcady, which is also fantastic! And the squirrel is animated! I like that there's a jump-cut feature implemented in player movement, as it makes it easier to navigate the world. And there's even a story and dialogue. Good job!

Cool idea! Although, I must say I lost the first round - I looked at my phone's screen. But I love that you can pet that little furball in the corner!

Thank you for the kind words and feedback! Indeed, games like Journey (and Flower, from the very same developer) inspired Whispers of Autumn. You are right about the order of picking up the leaves! It determines the story at the very end. We considered adding some visual indication in the text (colour or icons of coloured leaves). But there's so much you can do in a 72-hour jam, and if there's one thing we want to stay away from - it's crunch. However, storytelling is also near and dear to our hearts, and we have a few more ideas to surprise players with in future game jams!

I like the simplicity of gameplay and visuals. I must say, this was a tense fall! Got to an 8603 score at best. What could raise tension even more is slightly increasing the pitch of the 'blip' sound with time. Good job!

I like that you added this simple HUD with a mouse icon and left/right click action. It took me a while to realise the leaves were these yellow piles. I like that the big piles are shrinking the longer you blow! Good job!

Nice game mechanics! I like that each mechanic is introduced in a way you must use to overcome the next obstacle. Great work! Sometimes, I struggled to distinguish what is an obstacle and what is just a background decoration. Perhaps playing with contrast could help here. Other than that, great game!
