Short little game! First playthough I just went for the solar flowers (was a bit distraught missing those three seeds during the fall!!).

I think my biggest complaint would be the level design with certain rooms with rather precise jumps even with the flototos, especially in the upper area with the ceiling spikes. I never really gotten why it had to be that way if the solution was to throw one and jump on it while holding one (which is by far the best and most fun mechanic of this game!). I had some moments where I was wishing the grow spots would be closer the save spots, especially during the "mid" portion of the game.

I appreciate all of those quality of life stuff like skipping the growth animation or easy of control schemes for players. A little bit of thought like that makes a difference. The length for the scope of this game is nice! I even managed to get three of the solar flowers before getting the bombotoe. Multiple means of progression is fun!

ShogunPixelArt responds:

Every puzzle or jumping section in the game requires only one berry. Holding one flotatoe while jumping on another one doesn't boost your height or does anything. It's just a side effect of adding skip option when you grow berries :P

An ambient chill experience with very present drum sounds.
It's a nice track to just lay back and not get too in the head.

I wonder what the thought process is for coming up for the title?

I enjoy the keyboard sections a lot. I feel though the balancing could be improved on with relation to the drums. I find it somewhat distracting when immersing myself into the background reverb-y goodness.

- another curious observation is the shape of the fadeout curve for end section being exact with the peaking sound.

Nice one.

Mostly a just a cheeky joke title. I always felt like the second half of the song was a riff off/motif of the first portion. I dunno.

You might be right on that. The mix is a bit old. I think the mix improves later on in the track once the clippy kicks goes go away -- which does eventually happen @ ~1:40. It's a bit spicy. It's a bit poking. Aggravating? The track sorta brightens up towards the end. Intermixing that pokey kick with a bit more control. Feels ever-so-slightly more hopeful.

Sometimes you just make some decisions and roll with it. Fun to look back.

The melodic work was definitely my favorite bits of this. Some of the chilled out jazzy / shuffled hats and reverberating ratcheting static towards the end too.

I believe I faded out different elements towards the end, at different times?

Thanks for listening. <3

Never encountered this one before.

Indeed an ancient fanmade track that is a result of me trying to use Beepbox lol

I enjoyed how it ends where the drums fade from the presence and the room noise takes over. I wonder if that was a transition to room mic capture of the same recording or... some funky effects?

I would say I'm not as keen on the mid section pulse width synth, but it's minor.

Those vocals though, mm yes.

Emotionally speaking it brings me a sense of awe.

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

A mix of both funky effects and real room.

A positive on the vox is nice, because I'm always unsure.
I do it anyway, because who cares at the end of the universe.

I'm glad you like my little piece of sonic expression. <3
