I'm not sure how long I would keep playing a game like this, but I enjoyed it for a short period, really like the atmosphere. Love the art / music style too.
Thanks everbody for the feedback so far! Glad you seem to like the style :)
I agree @Kurakurt it would prob benefit from some animations to make the level more lively. Also @tigerfinch, yes I think this wouldn't work like this as a longer game. Good I made it short ^^
Nice music and compelling atmosphere. Kind of deep for a short game, I feel like I got to know the developer by playing this.
Very moody. I like that the last door went to the website. Cool pictures on there. Bye.
Really pretty, really cool little narrative thingy, but there's just about no "game" here...
A really nice art piece.
sounds were nice and the graphics looks good. I looked especially what kind of 2d effects you managed to code in such short time and overall the game looks great.
Atmosphere was great, a nice contemplative game.
Drawings were really cute, would have been perfect with a character walking instead. And that music... I was in a poem for a few minutes.
Well, it was for me more like a travel in your world than a "game" but it was peaceful and calmed my mind.
Thank you for this !!! :D
This game proves that Flash is not dead! I love the atmosphere and the graphics.
Wahou ! Atmosphere is really nice, love the audio. Well done mate !
Wonderful art and music. I feel as though there is some deeper meaning here that I am missing
Really beautiful. Thanks for creating. I look forward to more from Tiny Worlds.
The art and the audio are really awesome, even though the game is not that fun. :)
Nice work !
Charming hand-drawing graphics and the brilliant main character. There is almost no gameplay, but the atmosphere of this little something is totally relaxing. I like all these tiny elements - the mushroom, plants, etc. However, sometimes it was hard to read the text above them, because the font is too thin and the player overlay labels time to time.
Nice one. Soft music, good graphics.
Yet I thought it would be a bit more interactive.
Great water color graphics. I'm very like it! Brilliant relax game like Flower.
Amazing! I really liked the simple and limited controls against the pictures. Great entry!
Really liked the hand-drawn graphics and the overall presentation. Perhaps it'd be cool to put those items in different rooms that you can explore in any order; it's always nice to let players express themselves through gameplay, even if they can only choose the order in which they find things. Exploration and discovery are powerful feelings :-)
Thanks everybody for the wonderful comments. Some of them honestly made my eyes a bit wet ^^
@Ludipe Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I like your approach on things, may try this out with another project. Here I decided trough the theme to rather explore different versions of the same room :)
After hard day it is a kind of game I would play :) cool relaxing music, and amazing art.
Why didn't you use some of the cool photos from your Website as Art for thi game?
I approve of your use of hand-drawn art, definitely makes it stand out from all the low-res pixel art entries (mine included). Very peaceful and easy to get through. Well done!
Great art and its cool to express yourself through a game though its not the kind of stuff that i enjoy most i really value your effort and work.
I don't know much about poetic stuff, but I liked both art and music ;)
That's something of my type ! Really nice design ! I love the style and overall feel
I loved the music, and I like the idea and the little texts a lot. Great mood piece! The character is a bit too slow for me, but the music was good enough that I didn't really care.
I can't believe how amazing the artstyle worked in this game :) You have inspired me a lot with this one :)
Speaking more about your game - the audio and mood of the game were far beyond average... I felt like in a head of somebody who might have some problems BUT there are always these small things in our lives that make us forget about everything and calm us down :)
Very nice one :) totally liked it :)
Sweet and relaxing experience! I like the hand-drawn aesthetics and the atmosphere created by the music/sounds.
This game spreads a calm mood, it is really relaxing.
I'd love to see the story told evolve though
DAWWWWWWWWW this was cute. I love the graphics; it's amazing that you hand drew everything! It really gives the game a certain charm and really sets the mood. I found the movement a little on the slow side, but I enjoyed what I played nonetheless.

I really liked the art style. It blended really well with the background music and sound effects. Also, good pacing. I feel it likes more interactivity, but it's a relaxing experience.
Your Post Mortem was pretty interesting! I might use its structure as a reference when writing my own. Keep it up! I hope to see you in more Ludum Dares :)
the mood in this game is just lovely. And the music is extraordinary!
It's surely presents a new definition of "game". I might even say poetry, why not ;)
Very relaxing. Loved the art!
I wish more interaction though.
This was different and excellent! I would have enjoyed a bit more!
It's funny that some people still don't consider games as pieces of art.
Not much real gameplay but the art, music and mood is quite nice and I'm sure that's what it's mostly about so well done :)
Very pretty, both graphically and musically. More animation for the main character might've been nice. And collision on objects was absent.
There wasn't much gaming to do. This is more a slightly interactive art piece. A good one at that, but not really a game.
I thought it was going to build up into a horror... but I was wrong. Played it to the end. Good job on submitting your entry. The art style is interesting but works nicely.
Definitely great in terms of the theme and the mood, liked the audio a lot too! Unique entry, quite artsy.
I liked how relaxing this makes one feel. Lovely water colors.
Nicely done art style, although was a little disappointed by the lack of animation, especially on the character movement. The choice of background music is nice too, but as i understood the rules it seems maybe you should opt out of the audio category if you are using a third party sound track, or at least make it more clear on the LD page that this is the case. Apologies if that sounds too nit-picky. Overall not really my thing due to the lack of gameplay, but appreciate the effort and attempt to do something more personal
@automatonvx Good point about the audio!
As far as I understand it, it's only for the compo were you can't use resources by other people.
I initially didn't want to opt out of the sound category rating, as I recorded and edited all sounds per se by myself. But I can totally see how the music of bbaTV is dominating the whole experience of the games sound (I credit him in the games titlescreen btw).
I think I'm gonna opt out of the sound category, as I feel like half of the audio experience can be attributed to bbaTV, who did not directly participate in the jam.
Thanks for the feedback!
Very nice graphics! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/xG2aiO_VsBw

That is a really calm game with neatly drawn graphics.
Though I couldn't really catch the hidden sense of the game, I still liked the relaxing atmosphere. Great job!
