Very nice! Well thought out puzzles :) good job!
A fun game, with really good puzzles; I found the audio and art style kind of grating, though. I would love to see a second take on this.
This is a super game, only a genius could make something like this. 25/25, very well done! Mine is similar, but without all the good stuff haha
This was so much fun!!!
A fun puzzle game with a nice use of the theme. I loved the level transitions, although sometimes they went on for a bit too long. Also for some level you seem to have more flowers than you actually need, which seems weird. Lastly, when you put a flower back into your inventory, it bugs out a bit. Also in level 9, I didn't despite having the correct solution. All and all, a great game
Wow this is a really cool game. Addictive with a surprising level of depth here. I think this game should work on a mobile phone so I will trying and playing it a bit more!
Yep it definitely does! I specifically made sure it works on mobile as I want to recraft this into my first app store game (free) and expand upon it there. That was my main testing and QA device I'd hand to people.
I just followed you, I am excited to see where this games goes!
This was a really addictive puzzle game and I especially liked how the music builds up as you progress through the levels. The only thing is that I do think the level transition animation covers up the screen too much but apart from that this was a great game.
Excellent fun and accessible puzzler! The music was excellently done, the mechanics were intuitive and just complex enough to make some of the last few stages a decent challenge to figure out! I love the stage transition, and the little conveyance touches like the "clickable" flowers looking different, moving, etc. The only issue I had was a strange bug I encountered in one of the stages where the bee would simply fly straight over one of the flowers without activating it, but resetting a couple times fixed this.
Thanks for the awesome comments! Very weird about the bug. If you by chance know what level it was I'd be happy to dig into it. It's a jam, there's always going to be something come up.
What a simple, yet amazing and cozy game. I've played through all the levels and although in the end I still didn't fully understand what each tile does, I managed to complete each level relatively easily while it still being satisfying. If I had to complain about anything, it's the fact that the elements were still clickable during transitions, but overall its a great game!
Thanks for checking it out!
What a nice, cozy puzzle game! This was a great submission fitting with the theme, and it has easy to understand mechanics while providing a nice gameplay loop. I do think the audio and visuals could use a bit of an overhaul, as it felt a bit cluttered to me at times, but other than that, great job :)
Yeah I really want to redo it in a modern colourful aesthetic after the jam. Thanks for checking it out!
Great puzzle, really well executed with good variety and difficulty, my garden turned out epic. The gameplay is very well done, I didn’t have any issues with it. For feedback, personally I didn’t like the transition, the amount of flowers growing on screen felt a bit over the top. The music is nice but could use a bit more polish, the keys as sounds worked well, and for some reason I played the whole game thinking there was no sound. I only noticed because of the comments, when I opened it in Chrome the audio worked, but in Opera it didn’t, no idea why. Great game, good job!
Thanks for the feedback! I could probably finesse the transition to be bigger flowers/less overall (or just faster). I'm using it to mostly hide hide the level swap underneath. Very odd about the browser issue. I'll have to look into that in the future.
Really great game. Nice visual, nice audio progression XD
and the puzzle game is really nice XD I beat all levels and really enjoy every puzzle XD
a bit hard to understand each flower directions at first but got used to it after a while
I think this also a great usage of the theme XD
Yeah I'm wanting to re-do some of the styling in a more modern flair in an updated version after the jam to give some more visual cues and add some different variations. Thanks for the awesome feedback!
This is an amazing little puzzle game, I loved the transition to each level after completion of a previous level!
Thank you!
Had a great time! Difficulty felt fair, the fades between stages were super nice, and the gameplay is simple but challenging to master
Thanks for the nice comments!
Cute little puzzle game! The music can get a bit repetitive though, and the levels can be fairly simple.
Thanks! Yeah I want to go back and re-do a lot of the puzzles and hopefully add a bunch more. I've never made a puzzle game before so this was my first try at it. I've got some more tracks from my teammate that I'll swap in as well in a future version.
Pretty fun! Great tutorial, and I love the flowery transition when you beat a level
Thank you! I was pretty stoked when I figured that out.
Very interesting, i'm not really into puzzle games but this was fun and very intuitive.
Thanks!
I loved the game, the puzzles were very well done and satisfying. Sometimes the execution of the pollinators was a bit fast to catch what was happening or what went wrong, so a little more visual feedback or sounds could help a lot. Also still not entirely clear on the rules for the cobwebs...
Yeah there's a hint that you may not catch if you're not always reading the top lines. Bees can get past spiderwebs only if they have a speed boost from wind.
And thank you! I've never made puzzles like this before, so I was curious how they would be received.

I had fun building out my epic garden! I think the concept and execution is super solid here, but I do wish it was faster to iterate on my attempts—having to clear the board/hit the reset button after each failed attempt felt like it slowed down the experience unnecessarily.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you made an epic garden! And yeah, I was working on something to reset the blooms but didn't get to it in time. I may try to do that today since we have the extension.
Updated! Failure now resets your blooms, but doesn't place them back into the inventory (keeps them on board). Reset button is still available to fully reset all items into inventory.
