this is so comforting to play 🥺
on the days where my chronic pain and fatigue are bad, i always come bacc to this game- something about it just feels so beautiful, depurressing, and comfurting, all at the same time <3 is there anywhere i can listen to the music on its own?? ive kinda been keeping the game open to listen to it, hehe.
thanks so much, this is a really heartwarming thing to read. I'm sorry to hear you're going through that - I made this game based on my own experiences of chronic fatigue, seasonal affective disorder, depression and burnout, so I can relate ♥
I've put the music on my website for you to grab: http://tinybird.info/music/sun-machine.mp3
I really like the game and it's concept
This was a really nice game! I loved the music. Did you compose it yourself?
Thank you very much! Yeah, I did :) it's kind of inspired by this tune.
This was really inspiring
Thank you so much!
I go back and play this sometimes just to spend more time here
it's really good
this is probably the biggest compliment I've ever received on my work. I really appreciate it. :')
I played this game a couple of weeks ago and found it so cute and atmospheric. I came back now and it was actually even more moving than the first time. Love the use of color/light.
aww, thank you so much!
Loved this!
It's weird but I do not hear any music.
EDIT: when using safari.
sorry to hear that, do you have this problem with any other Bitsy games? it's a bit hard for me to look into this 'cause I don't have a Mac.
Is downloading the Itch desktop app an option for you? That version should hopefully work.
it's working with the desktop app, thank you! and yes, I do have this problem with every Bitsy game, I just thought they don't include music..
I know Google Chrome recently made a change that prevented audio from autoplaying on load, and it stopped a lot of Bitsy/web game music from working. Maybe Safari has done something similar. I'm glad you were able to get it working :)
This, strangely enough, made me feel nostalgic whilst playing. I loved the imagery you conjured, especially in the end with the summer memories. The music was really good too! <3
aww thank you! yeah it's definitely about nostalgia :)
oh this is so good!! just feeling so emotional about it.. the art and the music.. the whole atmosphere and mood is so good!!!! i love it so much
aaaah onion!!!! thank U my friend
Wow, this is really nice! I love the presentation, and how much impact and emotion you manage to bring out of such a minimalist approach!
this a simple story game, this video is dedicated for those who enjoy watching than playing
really nice! i like it!
The atmosphere and music really sold it. This is great!
Very good music mood and graphics!
