Sakura サク

During the year the sakura trees remain only covered in leaves, and are bare in the winter, but towards the beginning of spring they bloom, decorating the parks with their appearance of pink and white clouds. Sakura サクラ is an inviting clicker game starring one of the spring key players, the cherry blossom; the experience lasts around 3 minutes. It’s short, but deeply meaningful. Enjoy.

Story

During the year the sakura trees remain only covered in leaves, and are bare in the winter, but towards the beginning of spring they bloom, decorating the parks with their appearance of pink and white clouds.

They bloom only for a moment, yet they remain eternal in memory. Petals drift like fragments of time, weightless, fragile, uncountable. Each touch is a reminder: nothing stays, everything flows.

The tree waits through seasons of silence, bare in winter, green in summer, only to unveil its fleeting crown when spring arrives. For an instant, the world turns pink and white, and even the wind slows to watch. Here, in a breath, you hold what cannot be kept.

Spring 2D Jam
