    87 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their vibrant and charming art style, which appeals to both children and adults. Many reviewers highlight the beautiful, hand-drawn visuals and soothing animations that enhance the overall experience, although some note that the simplistic 2D graphics may not hold the attention of older players. While the aesthetic is generally well-received, a few users mention performance issues and a lack of substantial graphical enhancements.

    • “The game is beautifully crafted with vibrant visuals and gentle animations that captivate children's attention.”
    • “The artwork is absolutely stunning as well, overall experience of the game was tremendously good.”
    • “The art style is gorgeous and the sounds are calming with a clear narrative voice.”
    • “Also, I wasn't too keen on the graphics/art style; the sound effects were often louder than the audible dialogue, and if you over-clicked, the dialogue would often move onto the next sentence before it had even finished the current one.”
    • “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
    • “The poor performance and graphics glitches make this not recommended for Linux users.”
  • story
    47 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is described as a charming, interactive narrative designed for young children, featuring soothing narration and beautiful illustrations that explore the seasons. While it plays more like an interactive storybook than a traditional game, it offers educational content and encourages family engagement through its simple, click-based interactions. Overall, the story is well-received for its calming atmosphere and ability to captivate young audiences, making it a delightful addition to children's storytime.

    • “An interesting, educational and interactive story designed to teach children about the seasons. Education is paramount to a child's development.”
    • “Above all else, the ending of the story is the fucking title of the game.”
    • “I would not classify this as a game so much, as it is really more like an interactive storybook for very young children.”
    • “Besides cards and achievements (that you get by (auto)playing through the short story) there's no other content.”
  • music
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its soothing and melodic qualities, enhancing the overall immersive experience. Many users find it relaxing and suitable for moments of meditation or storytime, with a charming soundtrack that complements the game's art style.

  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is designed primarily for children, featuring simple point-and-click mechanics that teach about the seasons through engaging interactions like making clouds snow or flowers bloom. While the game offers a charming art style and pleasant sound effects, its limited duration of around five minutes and straightforward mechanics may not provide enough challenge for adult players. Overall, it effectively engages young users with its intuitive design and narrative elements.

    • “It uses game mechanics to teach children about the seasons.”
    • “It has a beautiful art style and simple game mechanics for kids (if they can use a mouse).”
    • “It treats the passing of the seasons, using simple clicking mechanics and a pleasant, narrative voice.”
    • “It's a short game with unique artwork and easy gameplay, but it's too easy for adults.”
    • “Gameplay is limited to simply clicking on objects.”
    • “Gameplay only lasts for maybe 5 minutes, but kids are very happy even for that.”
  • emotional
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is characterized by its wholesome and heartwarming nature, evoking feelings of calmness and nostalgia, even among players outside its target demographic. While some critique its educational value, many express a profound emotional impact, highlighting its ability to engage players on multiple levels. Overall, the game is praised for its gentle and sweet approach, leaving a lasting impression.

    • “It made me feel calm and kinda nostalgic.”
    • “I'm not the demographic (I'm a college student), but I wasn't expecting something heartwarming, gentle, and sweet in the way that it was.”
    • “This game blew me away physically, mentally, and emotionally.”
  • optimization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has been criticized for poor performance and graphics glitches, particularly affecting Linux users, making it not recommended for that platform. While the artistic elements and live performance aspects are appreciated, they do not compensate for the technical shortcomings.

    • “For one, you have the art book and sketches, which show different iterations of what you see in the finished game, and then you get the recording of a live performance in front of children.”
    • “The performance uses the same basic idea as the game, but is longer and has a bit more meat to it.”
    • “The video is a live performance of a diorama-type puppet show, sort of a 3D flannel board of the earth, which different stick puppets are attached to during the performance.”
    • “The poor performance and graphics glitches make this not recommended for Linux users.”
  • replayability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is mixed; while it offers a short cycle of seasons that may appeal to young children who enjoy rewatching, many users note a lack of substantial replay value for older players. However, the endless game mode can engage players for extended periods, making it somewhat appealing for repeated play. Overall, it seems best suited for younger audiences rather than providing significant replay incentives for adults.

    • “For young children, this would be okay; a short, replayable cycle of the seasons.”
    • “The game mode has no ending, and not only has replay value, but one playthrough can engage a child (or adult) for quite some time, with the cheerful sound effects and basic science concepts illustrated for young kids.”
    • “No real action and very little replayability.”
    • “Virtually no replay value.”
    • “There's hardly any replay value, although small kids do like to rewatch videos multiple times.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is light-hearted and suitable for children, featuring amusing achievements with quirky descriptions. While the environment is whimsical, with expressionless trees and a warm, welcoming earth, the overall tone remains playful and engaging for younger audiences.

    • “It's a funny little short game; you get achievements and your kid gains knowledge.”
    • “The achievements are both easy to get and have a funny description (one that is literally incomprehensible).”
    • “Funny, pretty, and perfect for kids.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is enhanced by its engaging art style, atmospheric sounds, and clear narration, creating a charming environment that is particularly appealing to children. The presence of interactive elements further enriches the overall experience.

    • “I love the art style! The sounds are also atmospheric, and the narration is clear and understandable.”
    • “It has a cute art style and a nice atmosphere that is perfect for children.”
    • “There are many clickable things that add to the atmosphere and music.”
    • “The atmosphere feels flat and uninspired, lacking any real depth or immersion.”
    • “Despite the potential, the environment feels lifeless and fails to draw you in.”
    • “The sound design is underwhelming, which detracts significantly from the overall atmosphere.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “I appreciate that the game doesn't rely on microtransactions to progress.”
    • “The absence of microtransactions allows for a fair and balanced gameplay experience.”
    • “It's Spring Again is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it were a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab by mobile developers. The game is a simple Adobe Flash-tier point-and-click educational game to teach toddlers about the seasons.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game exhibits poor performance and graphics glitches, leading to a recommendation against its use on Linux systems.
