Damn... do you have any tips on this puzzle? I'm losing my mind from retrying so many times, and this is the closest I gotten. XD
It's a really fun game! I've found myself keep replaying it.

you need to save enough money to buy at least 2 orchids to get through that phase (unfortunately after that I made things too hard so that is the last possible phase to go through, but it's a 100% possible to get 800 points)

I have tried the 2 orchids method, but it only gave 700 points and with the leftover money.. I can't buy anything better to help.

This is basically the only "possible way", one hibiscus and 2 orchids, I do believe is quite difficult to get the money for it, but it is possible. When the jam review/voting ends I'm going to work balance the game better and fix some other issues

Thanks for the answer!

This is a really fun game, so keep up the good work!

Some feedbacks:

1. Dialogue is a bit unintuative. Its only a few rounds then I realised I can click on them.

2. Next level requirements. It will be great to show what the next level points needed when shop start so player can know what to buy or expect.

3. Garden plot variation shape or layout. You can even add a boulder on the garden to block out some of the plot.

This game is cute, the art is really pretty and this 1:1 ratio looks really cool :D

Loved the theming, graphics, the music, everything is very well structured and unified.  I really enjoyed playing and I liked the mechanics of each seedling! The in-game visual preview of how the seeds behave was especially helpful, and I think would have worked perfectly in the shop too, instead of having to read the dialogue explaining the seed behavior. Really great job, this is a fun puzzle game!

 I got up to the orchid level and I was running out of coins... I wonder if it was still possible to advance with the seeds I had stocked?

Developer (1 edit)

so, the game sorta requires you to save up some coins for later on, but I ended up making the challenge a little too extreme with later levels, I just didn't have much time to test things out and I do believe that after the orchid the game basically becomes impossible

Adorable art and gameplay! Love the puzzles that involve a planning phase beforehand. And the music is awesome too!

This game is so cute and gives such cozy game vibes! I just wish the full screen worked better so the game was more playable.

Art and gameplay is super strong, love the concept! I think the small resolution really fits and i can see this on an old handheld, but i do think readability suffers a little bit because of it however. Super cute game overall!

Developer

Thanks! art is my main thing, unfortunately I realized that the size I wanted to do things wouldn't work well with my game idea too late into development.

I like the art and the music. I like how the themes for buying seeds and for planting them are different but resemble each other. About pixel art - needless to say, it's strong).
I had one minor problem: when the game is opened in web in full screen (1920x1080), the ui is cropped (but the game is of course playable not in full screen).

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! my bad for the full screen, when I exported the game I never planned on allowing full screen, I had to sort a bunch of versions going because I was having issues with the web build and having to basically debug the web version, so after a bunch of exporting and testing I just forgot to turn it off.

Wow, that looks so nice and charming. Best Graphics I saw so far. Pretty impressive.

Developer

Thank you!
