Amazing... such a wonderful creation... At first, I was startled by the slightly scary-looking creatures, but as I kept exploring, I came to feel that all of the creatures here—though they may give you a little scare—were made with great love and care. I especially felt that when watching the animation of the battleship Yamato-like creature's wave cannon, and the Frost Dancer’s fun music and dance. And the final message... it really moved me. I want to say thank you for bringing this creation into the world! It’s also wonderful how you can sense the influences behind each character. Yazabi reminded me of Yazan and the Hambrabi, and Sylvia felt similar to the Qubeley. Anemo, to me, resembled Sanrio’s Kumamiren—but maybe she’s a completely original character! Someday, I’ll create a planet of my own too! A planet full of love! (=^ω^=)
This is a really great game, one built solely on the prospect of exploration, and one driven purely by fascination. The artstyle is cutesy yet very malleable, the writing is humorous yet grounded, and the gameplay is short yet just long enough for what it needs to be.
I think creatives and observers alike can resonate with the overall message. We're all little anemos exploring the shape of other's worlds.
This was the best game I've ever played!!! It's late where I am so I'll keep it short: Beautiful animation, artwork, character design, music, mechanics, etc. etc. I can't believe something so amazing exists!! Didn't even really know this genre existed lol. Please try this game!
Been feeling burnt out on a years-spanning project lately, and completing this game has lifted my spirits a lot over the last few days. Thanks for making these awesome things.
A very lovely game. I'm glad there was that "spaceship" animal which helped greatly to explore further. No notes, glad to have seen something this wholesome and bright.
Such a cute game! I love the thoughts that Shape embodies, essentially why I got into game design, I just have so many ideas why not try and bring some of them to a little bit of life? So far a bunch of unfinished projects...
I absolutely adore Sylvia's Song, its really good! All the music is really. There should be more little games like this, bringing whimsy to the masses. I loved it!
(Got 61 animals in around 1 hour -- without Sylvia this world really wouldn't be complete.)
this was so so cool to play through, i absolutely loved the design of all the different animals! the music was so fun to listen to, there were points i had to stop playing to just appreciate it. such a great game
This game is just so friggin cute and weird. I had a blast playing it on stream, as my chat was loving the creatures and the overall vibes. (So was I, of course.) They had endless praise for the creature designs and were wishing there were plushies for all of them. (Again, so was I.) Also shout out the great tunes!
played this last night with my partner ( but they fell asleep before i found all the animals and saw the ending )
the vibe and presentation is just immaculate and silly. and the lil speech when you first talk to Shape really spoke to me. ive been kinda struggling with my creativity lately and it was just the thing i needed to hear and just the little game i needed to play. thanks for making this :D
A beautiful little game and a lovely experience! I had a lot of fun running around the Formless Star looking for all the animals. :3 I hope you have fun making many more things!

Not excatly my cup of tea but it was really relaxing and i found all 61 1/2 very easily!
this was also such a highlight for me!!
Really cute game! I found sixty one and a half animals and I loved all their designs, especially that pointy one with three eyes...
Very cute and awesome game! The sprites is really good, this includes the animations when you encounter the animals. And the song is really chill!
So far I've discovered 41 animals. It was a very good experience.
This game was really fun! I enjoyed searching for each animal except 54.... I almost quit searching for that animal
But I'm glad I kept going and eventually found all of em!

Very wholesome little adventure. It was like walking through an artbook. Had a lot of fun! <3
The little worlds you create are always such a joy and a delight. They make me wanna make my own little worlds full of interesting animals to find.
