FIIIIIIRRSSSSSSTTTTTT!!!!!!
It's as if the game was directly inspired by the Hayao Miyazaki's movies!
I like this kind of universe.
I cannot reach to squril
I can get into the tree on the right, but cannot get high enough to progress further. I cannot seem to clear the gap on the left either. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I liked this quite a bit until then, LOL!
Me neither ! Need some help ..
Stuck at the same spot as -k. Help!
I reached the squirrel!! You have to ride the three flowers up very quickly by timing when you switch to them....It took me a few tries but it works!!
Got it! You need to hold the "z" key and flowed...
stuck in the clouds at far right with the tree on the edge. Need to go left but the flower is not blowing me up high enough
Never mind!! Zoom in the screen to reveal more!!
Finished the game!!! Well done
Sorry about the zooming problem, I have now changed the game size to the correct size, cheers!
On that tower on the way left, there is something red, but I couldn't click on it. I finished the game, but I'm curious if that was actually useful for anything.
Hello ! stuck in this place with green butons i click some of them but i cant reach some others.the one thing like fun in the top dont let me reach the man in the top .i cant do anything more to continue the game :(
With the 3 flowers leading up to the squirrel I found that you can actually just jump in the space between them and hit all 3 without moving. You'll still want to move towards the last one so you can get over to the squirrel, though. Hope this helps someone.
umm i found a stop sign in the middle of the tree what do i do with it?
I'm stuck after reaching the squirrel and going trough the white door. What do I have to do outside? I'm just making circles with those clouds.
Ps What I figured out: when pressing X while jumping you can creating lifting flowers yourself.
My poor English did not help to understand tips for 3 flowers to reach at the top
Aaarrrggghhh! Fell to the left inside the tree and now I'm standing on a piece of framework above a door (that's still behind locks I see...) but with no way out and no save I would have to start all over again! I don't know what to do with the acorn (apple?) anyway! Enjoying it all the same Bart - another good share. :D
Okay - guess the acorn makes the x button work - don't know what to do now though? In the green above the squirrel there doesn't seem anything to do - except fall off... lol
Still no way to reach the top after the 3 flowers
@Jane F:
You have to go back into the tower and create a flower under the last remaining botton, so you can enter the next door.
It won't load for me. I just get a white screen. :(
Uh... did I finish the game?
Uh... did I finish the game?
Where and how do you find the acorn? I am stuck at the three flowers - cant get up to the squirrel - and I guess you have to have the acorn to make another flower......?
OK, so I unlocked the other door in the tree and got the green pellet. What does it do?
To actually 'finsh' the game, you have to go into the last door and then exit back through it.
Great game Bart!
Once you get all three pellets, go back to the gray door where you started.
"Now I Can Be Alone"? Hardly with all the birds and the squirrel
Can't get the hang of the gliding thing. Will have to try again some other time.
NOW I CAN BE ALONE.
I have the same problem as this comment 22 May 2013 01:20 Where and how do you find the acorn? I am stuck at the three flowers - cant get up to the squirrel - and I guess you have to have the acorn to make another flower......? any help ??? please ..
I wonder if is nesesary to go in the door left in the first scene ?
Thanks ekieramzen - I've opened that door and been through it. Found a second light to put in the grey door but don't know what to do next... I'll go and have another look. Thanks again. x
To those struggling with the three flower lift and reaching the squirrel - Anonymous 21 May 2013 18:37 explains how to get onto level with squirrel. Then use flower to left of squirrel to jump and glide onto top of its chair. Enter door there. Good luck.
Done! Is that really the end? Getting to sit on the highest shelf! Weird... but strangely enjoyable. lol
Yes, but that one section is too high to reach and I can't make another flower unless I have the acorn, correct?
Well, I guess I finished it... ? Was I supposed to be able to get the acorn?
How do you get all three squares?
or two actually
you only get 2 squares?!?!?! I found an owl. what does he do?
How do you find the 3rd square?
I seem to be in outer space, i can't figure out what to do from there
I'M STUCK!!!!!
Where do you find the second square??????
AAAAH!!!! FINALLY GOT TO THE SQUIRREL!!!!!!!! The comment that helped me the most was 21 May 2013 14:40. You just have to keep going to the bottom and timing the switching from flower to flower until you get it. If anyone is still stuck here, I hope this helps...
YAAAAAY!!!! I FINISHED!!!!!!!
I totally agree with anon @ 22 May 2013 03:04; what, that's alone? with all of those animals?
Also, yay for finishing! and my thanks to anon @ 21 May 2013 19:06 for the x key help.
There's still a zooming issue with mine...
So pretty & calm! I LOVE IT :D
A calm and gentle game. I liked it much.
A subtle ending, for sure, but very appropriate.
Thanks, Bart!
Was stuck till I rode the mid of 3.
Found red, blue, green dots for door.
Went back outside my tiny house to try to figure out the owl that appeared to the left of acorn. Exit home restarts the game. So I can only guess that I have saved the squirrel king from the big bad owl? He has moved in with me & we made made baby birds in our love nest lol.
Only for me its impossible to reach the top after 3 fun....what a pitty :( try and try but i cant
ok finally finished !!!
Really lovely and challenging!
Thank you all for the help :)
Nice game. To reach the squirrel king, you need to press Z twice just beside the bottommost flower. Then you will shoot up. To restart the game, just come out of the room with the animals.
Those having trouble with the three flowers: hit the air currents as close to the flowers as possible without actually touching the flower. That is where the air currents are the most powerful, so they push you up higher. KEEP TRYING!!!
FYI, it still works if you touch the flowers, it makes it easier and they don't stop you as I assume you were thinking...
I'm stuck. How can I go out?

HOW TO GET TO THE SQUIRREL:
1. From the bottom flower, jump up, then wait until you're about the land and press Z again.
2. Move to the right so that you're floating up the gap BETWEEN the three flowers. That's right, you don't want to "move back and forth" to catch the air currents -- you should be able to shoot right up the wind column in the MIDDLE.
3. As soon as you're past the top flower, push LEFT so you float over to the squirrel.
It may take a few tries.
With that out of the way, let me say that I loved this game. It was tricky and challenging enough to hold my interest, without being so hard that I never knew what to do next. And I loved how the two upgrades (leaf, then acorn) change the gameplay.
My only complaint is that I didn't find it at all obvious what the little glowing pellets were until the very end. It would've been nice to know that I needed to find three. That's a minor complaint, though. The game was great.
(BTW, the game didn't load for me the first few times. Finally, I just loaded up a window and walked away. When I came back, it was there. I guess it takes a long time for the opening screen to show up.)
I am never tired of playing this.
Me either. I love this game!
I LOVE THIS SOUNDTRACK OMG
Uh whats the glowing square do?
BTW does the squirrel do anything?
gee i guess im stuck the glowing squares do something right? i found three. are there more?
WHOA! um, whats the huge owl for?
luna, how did you only find 2?
I found all three squares. what do i do now????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????/
HEELLLLPP
thanks gamergrrl!!
what do you do... is that the end when you get to the place that says now i can be alone???????????????
I LOVE THIS GAME!!!! I LOVE THIS GAME!!!! I LOVE THIS GAME!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3
So I finished the game and while I was playing I found out you can use space to jump. How cool.
I don't get what to do after the two huge trees.I can't figure out how to jump on the branches
