I really liked the very minimal moments of the music. It set a nice mood. I got up to a point where the globes didn't have anything more to say. Wasn't sure if there was something for me to do next. The diagonal pixel art style is also pretty interesting!
That was great! I really liked the overall tone of the game =D
Movement could be a little faster, though...
Good game. Very immersive. You have created a crazy universe!
I'm not sure what I supposed to be doing in this game, but I was certainly very relaxed while I did it. Loved the music.
Nice audio and graphics, movement is a little jarring though and I wasn't sure of the goal. Was an enjoyable ride though!
It's kind of confusing to play this game; it doesn't have a set objective, items and enemies are not really differentiated and many things happen for no specific reason :/
Not sure what I have to do in this game (or IF I have to do anything at all). I seriously dig the minimal music. I would speed up the movement slightly to make it more dinamic.
I love this game. I had no idea what the objective was but still walked around and had fun. good job
It was a bit slow and I don't know what my goal is.. so I just spread stuff everywhere.
I have no idea what it meant, since either I missed something or I run out of the text, so I prowled the garden for a while yet and then quit. Moody artistic.... not sure if game, but since I had to wait several before I could get to a text trigger, it could be probably called a game.
Not my cup of tea, although I appreciate the overall mood.
interesting game, but I didn't really feel like there was any true objective, or win/lose situation. So I wandered for a while before stopping.
Love the style, not sure what's going on, though ;) Why is my guy pooping rainbows?
slowly movement...but i like it, good graphics, music too, i like it
Very nice soundtrack that fits the theme well. However I didn't feel in control of my character and I wasn't sure how I was affecting the gameworld.
I couldn't figure out the goal or objective of this game.
But recall: the word "goal" comes from the Old English "gal," meaning "obstacle, barrier." Now the goal appears to us! The trees, doors, flowers, and the physical boundary of the ghost garden are all goals, all obstacles and barriers.
The word "object" comes from the Latin "ob-" meaning "against, before" and "jet" meaning "to throw." What is thrown before us in the ghost garden? Ghosts and globes!
So on the one hand, we have the primary object of the game: ghosts. On the other hand, we have the primary goal of the game: the boundary of the garden.
Yet, most of the people here are blinded by stupidity! They see no ghost nor garden. So they can go fuck themselves in a circle-jerk (or whatever that last text bubble said to me in the game, something about fucking).
And what's with the American spelling in "This is the color of my dreams"?

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Cool. Very atmospheric. Wasn't sure what the rainbow things were. Also wasn't sure why I couldn't go in the door. Liked the art and music.
