The Heart of Summer (Devlog)

The Heart of Summer is a 2D sidescrolling platformer. In a world suffering an internal winter, Clover, an artistic witch volunteers to find the Heart of Summer, which has dissapeared into the Forest of the Seasons. Without the Heart of Summer, the season may never change, leaving the world in a state of winter. Armed with a Paintbrush infused with the power of Summer, she goes out in search so Summer may once again begin.
I’ll be posting a few updates and art for the game. This is my first flowlab game I’ve worked on for a while now, but I’m excited to see how it turns out.

Thank you Sweettea12345! He made the tree sprite for my game and even helped me with parallax and display order(Which saved my life!) He’ll be getting credits(As per usual) in the game as well.

I legitimately thought the pixel sizes were all consistent. :sob:

its because the trees are resized

They weren’t resized. I think we just made them in the wrong pixel size, like size 3 instead of size 2 so it could be consistent.
