What inspired your game?
I was inspired by unlikely combinations/relationships from the theme "Opposites Attract," and thought it would be fun to see a dark character like the Grim Reaper performing cute cozy game tasks like gardening while being in love with his opposite, Mother Nature!

How did you incorporate the 'girly' theme into your game?
I love cute cozy games and wanted to create one about gardening and love!

very cute and a nice idea, can see this becoming addicting with added steps, obstacles, and sizing.

sound is deafening, i though the grim reaper had turned a new leaf but he's trying to kill me! i am so scared, ahhhHH!

This game was much more of a challenge than it appeared at first. We ended up really loving the spin on a farming game, and the calming music helped keep us  going! Loved the inspiration on this one, with some tweaking to the gameplay/controls/sensitivity, and more levels, this could be a pretty sophisticated game!

(my team member locked in, and like a real gamer, completed all three days :) ↓ )

I really like this theme and art style, which is cute with a hint of cruelty lol

But when I pick up the seed and press E against the open space, I can't plant it... I would like to know if there is a problem with my computer or operation><

Reminds me of Stardew Valley! Gotta plant those seeds!!!!

I'm a big fan of grim reaper designs and reaper-like characters - did you create the Grim Reaper yourself? Great job!

This game is really cute and I love the Grim Reaper's design a lot 🌷💖
Good job ✨!

It reminds me of the French comic strip/cartoon called "La petite mort", by Davy Mourier, which is about the Grim Reaper's son wanting to become a florist instead of inheriting his father's job (NB : this is not a story made for children)

Very nice visuals and overall relaxing feel! Would be cool to have different plants requiring different "ways" to grow them, otherwise by day 3 it was getting a tad too repetitive. Nice job anyway!

Really cute! Sound's a bit loud though T-T

This game is so cute ! I really enjoyed switching between different tools while seeing the plants growing <3

I really like the visual!! but I can't seem to play the game as there's no reaction when I press e? maybe its a safari bug?

This is a really nice cozy game! Very nice work scoping down to just 2D movement too -- that makes the game way more accessible. One nice addition would be an "invalid" sound effect whenever you try to interact with the soil incorrectly, or maybe a little hoe/rake symbol next to the soil when it needs to be tilled? Loving the music, minimal controls, and cute main character! Gives me stardew vibes, very cozy.

Super cute little cozy game, keep it up!

Very cute game and visuals ✨✨

Now that is a lovely premise for a game. Very sweet! The music and sound effects are very serene too.
