How does your game fit the theme?
My first thought when hearing the theme was an overwhelming task that has lots of little bits and pieces to it. The idea of a sink of dirt dishes came to mind but I decided cleaning a yard would make more sense.

This was actually quite fun and satisfying! I liked that you could throw away the words as well haha. Maybe adding a timer would be a fun addition?
Ha! Pretty good, I enjoyed it. Played it a few times to try to do it as fast as possible! Good work!
Here’s ours.

Fun fact: It took me a while to notice the rake, so I put the leaves one by one in the trash can. It was fun anyway :)
really fun little game, the kind i would want different kinds of levels on to keep playing it!
Great work! For such a short game, I think it was smart to not explicitly tell the player to use the rake. It was a nice little surprise when I discovered it by accident, and it happened just as I was starting to think that this was gonna take a loong time. Then a few moments later, I accidentally grabbed a word and dropped it in. Very funny! Loved it!
Short and sweet, I like how you can drag the text into the trash. You should look into making it clear that the rake is useable, as at the start of the game I kept dragging stuff one by one
Nice game. Simple and great. I collected to many things until i realized I can use the rake xD Good job!
Dragging the words on screen caught me so off guard haha, love it!
Cute game! Being able to drag the title caught me off guard lol. also realized i could use the rake at the very end of the game.
Okay, I love that you can throw the words away, that is super clever. Fun little game! Very chill.
Wooow, nice little game. Its very satisfying using the rake and creating big bags of leaves to throw away!
No clue how you have managed to make cleanig up a garden fun. Very minimal game but one I found myself playing all the way through, given yeah it is not that long. Still, once I found the gardening tool, of which I forgot the english word for, taking the leaves and turning them into bags really sped up the process and I even cought myself having fun. Maybe something like multiple gardens representing different level would have been fun but still, valid entry to the jam.
