The relaxing atmosphere mixed with just a little bit of darkness made for a thrilling game experience.
The puzzle part is not that big for one stage, and as you advance, you start a new stage with new rules, so the sense that you can try new things without the difficulty level getting that high is very pleasurable.
With the story interspersed in between and the development that seemed to run through the game all at once at the end, it was a work that I really enjoyed without getting bored until the end.
I feel a little silly asking this, but it's driving me nuts--where do I enter the password?? I've figured out what it *is,* but I can't for the life of me figure out where or how I'm supposed to enter it.
Edit: figured it out, you have to beat the game and then wait for the credits to cycle back to the title screen!
This was great. Not too hard, but hard enough that I got stuck on some levels for a few minutes and really had to think. What was that supposed to be at the end though? The two plants snapped onto each other?
I love your ability to tell stories with few words. The game's whole atmosphere, just like the way it shifts with the music and colors, made for a beautiful game. Thank you for this!
P.S.: After searching in the comments and finding out the password I got to see the easter-egg. Love when your productions have secrets (like Planetaario!), even though I'm usually not so good at figuring them out. :)
Bravo! Great graphics, great music, enough puzzling to be interesting without hitting my "oh, I'll come back to this later" threshhold. Once I started I had to finish the whole thing, and I'm glad I did.
sick game kultisti! I was drawn in initially by the great level design, afterwards in particular stood out as the moment the mechanics were really able to show off their potential. the cool little mushroom thing was just the cherry on top of a great experience! great work as always!
This was so much fun, and the perfect difficulty level: hard enough to stump me for a while on some levels, but easy enough I didn't give up and look up the answer.
Goes unbelievably hard. At first it might seem like a normal puzzle platformer. But as you slowly keep going, more mechanics get introduced, the last few levels completely change the gameplay loop and there's even a secret game mode.
BUG: You can re-enter pathways from the genesis point (the plant) if you're placed slightly to the left of the plant and press the interact button. I totally misthought the 'Return' puzzle room for several minutes due to this.
There's a softlock bug right after the crossing element is introduced, you go into this big chamber underground, and if you restart you're placed outside the boundary and can't move.
I shall give a hint, in the form of a riddle I burrow deep underground, long away from anyone else I have my own kingdom to myself Just one of me can spread to hundreds of roots Trying to get rid of me will require gardening gear and boots. What am I?

this game is beautiful. typically great kultisti game
i know what the password is but when i type in the last letter of it the word just disappears and nothing happens
Hi there Kultisti. Can you add controller support for this game of yours? I prefer using my Dualshock 4 to keyboard when playing these kinds of games.

Can you give me a hint please, I'm stuck
Edit: Oh I already found it. It's the word you see even before starting the game :))
Oops, glad you found it, haha!
I was trying to find some synonyms of "fungus" and see that word lol :))
