It's fun! I thought I was on target a couple of times, but it wasn’t on the right part of the flower. I wonder if the hitbox to 'drink' the droplets should be a bit more visible on the sprite? Awesome work!

Does missing delta also affect the speed of the water droplets? They’re so fast! Still a nice interpretation of the theme and a beautiful game.
Super fun game, it's a pretty simple premise, but the variety of enemies and ramping up of difficulty over time keeps things interesting and it's a nice challenge. I love the art style it looks great. I think I maybe had to cheat to beat the game, I turned my monitors refresh rate down to 50 cuz when I had it at 60 it felt like I needed to be absolutely perfect to win. Great work I had a lot of fun playing thru this!
I came up with this whole idea of losing the value of the drops as they fall to encourage the player to stay closer to the center of the screen, where you get enough water for few mistakes. The thing is, with a fixed value, you can just move along the bottom edge avoiding all obstacles. But it seems I made the falling speed too fast. Thanks for playing my game on stream!
Wow this is your first gwj?
Great game with great aesthetics. The graphics are the best I have encountered yet
Really beautiful game, I liked the atmosphere a lot ! If possible I would have appreciated maybe a timer or something to compare my runs. Nonetheless, amazing job !
I definitely thought about a timer. In an early version, the camera speed increased the closer you were to the top of the screen. But I couldn't get it to be smooth. Now the speed is fixed and the camera stops only when there is a collision. So a collision counter would probably be more suitable here. In the end, I decided that it was unlikely that anyone would play the game several times. Thanks for playing!
I really enjoyed this! It was such a nice self contained scope, and really charming and well implemented. The hawk/bird made me worried it was going to mess with me a couple times. Over all really well polished!
Beautifully executed! There was indeed a problem with having too little water droplets. I wonder what happens when you reach the end, if it goes from dark to a sunny canopy, but I read about the issue so it does seem a tad unbeatable at the moment. No worries!
Game looks great! I did notice that sometimes the water droplets didn't increase the water meter, and sometimes even decreased it like they were an acorn.
