Bloom: The Forest Burns

I was playing this, but the controls (for the keyboard) are too awkward, especially when trying to navigate your inventory menu screen. Buttons just don't do what you'd expect them to do, and if you try using the pointer to click things it closes your inventory altogether. I had to keep flipping back and forth between the controls screen to figure out how to assign abilities, and then again to figure out what button correlates with which key, as there are no reminders on the main screen, and you can't click the ability itself to use it, aside from the left ability, for some reason. I tried to bind a key to use the left ability, but that did not work. Then, I had to close the game down, so I pressed the Wake (save) option, only to find when I'd come back that all my key assigning had been undone anyway. I wasn't about to go through another 15 mins of frustration. On top of that, colours are important to the game, but you're shown what the colours mean, once. By the time I came back to the game, I'd forgotten what they meant, and there's no where to find that information again. I was hoping it would be recorded in some kind of journal, but no luck. It's too bad, because the graphics, character design, music, and overall message the game is trying to portray is beautiful. Maybe it works better with a controller, but with my setup I found it too frustrating to play at this stage. I'll keep following and hoping for updates and fixes—I can't complain too much when this was free. I still recommend people give it a try, as maybe they'll find the controls easier than I did.

I like where the game is going. I've been following this game for years and its nice to finally play it! I think the controls could use a lot of work though, the game feels kind of clunky to play in general. I'm hoping these issues will be resolved as I love the graphics and setting.

This is gorgeous. Been looking for a game like this for a long time: it's like Lands of Lore meets Zelda! Huge congrats to the 3-person team, and looking forward to "Bloom: Memories"!

I love the fact that you seem to be able to play this game peacefully without hurting the animal roaming around. If they get to annoying you can lure them away or use ways to hide. Indeed the whole setting so far seems very calming, definitely a plus too and you can see that the creator is trying out new approaches to an old genre, what I find very refreshing. I'm not so sure if I like the controls or not. They give the game somewhat of an extra challenge, but then again you need a good memory to remember which slots belong to what key and it is very easy to change the items applied to them when you are in the inventory. As a suggestion: Give the item slots a small lable with the key that triggers them. You could make a toggle in the settings for it to be turned off, for those who don't like the text there. As well have another key pressed before an item can be assigned to a key, like that you avoid accidential assigning it (e.g. very popular by accident to the left mouse button). It would as well be nice if items that are meant to be eaten by yourself could be triggered in the inventory. What it as well needs it a manual in the options. Like somebody else said, if you don't pay attention to a hint ingame or forget it's content (like which color is which mood). I hope that the developer keeps developing and his fantasy continues to grow this beautiful world with ever more interactive choices. Tip for other players: You can lure the green flees to eat those pesky spike plants. :)

Не понял управление, с противниками нет смысла воевать, проще просто пробежать вперед и поговорить с кем нужно. Как и что использовать не понял, то есть с управлением нужно поработать. Очень понравилась графика и мир игры, так же персонажи, чисто не понял управление и инвентарь (почему когда заходишь и пытаешься по привычке, как во всех играх, нажать на него, мы просто выходим из инвентаря, а в нем нужно управлять клавиатурой).

Nice soothing graphics and music. Bit akward controls with mouse. Seems better on controller. Looking forward for the real deal!
