A very well made game, the little animations sprinkled all around are delightful. It's a simple puzzle game but and maybe that was what your were going for, it seems there is no fail condition or I didn't get it, that would give the game a bit more replayability and I would suggest that digging a new canal doesn't need a click on the previous, the player can just click the adjacent tiles. It even has a save game which I didn't even think about in my game :D music and sound effects are spot on as well. Overall I really enjoyed playing this game, great job

Awesome entry! Very well polished for a jam game, congrats!

Gameplay is relaxing, although too simple, even with the late levels. I knew the technic before, but your game just makes it perfectly clear how the "magic" works. The poems were a nice touch, but the "collective" side wasn't as present in the gameplay sadly.

You did an amazing job, well done!

The polish and juice is off the charts and the art style is so lush!! The level win sequence might be my favourite thing from this whole jam! This would make a really excellent touchscreen game for mobile.

I understand you wanted a calm, contemplative mood but to give it that satisfying puzzle feel, the pit limit needs to be a little harsher, at least on later levels.

Notes from gameplay:

• Itch page is gorgeous! Lovely layout and formatting. I love the description about zai pits - I'm already excited to see these in action in game
• Art style is very cute! 
• Hmm, wonder why one tile has smoke (?) or clouds or something over it? Clicking on it gives negative feedback, am I supposed to direct water to that tile?
• Music is peaceful and pretty
• Confused by gameplay
• just tried spam clicking everything at first to see what would happen, game over from that, time for a restart
• Ok, clicked a path to the smoky tile and got plants to grow!
• Oh, I guess I won?
• I like the little summaries after each level, feels like oral mythology and community legend
• The poem is a nice touch!
• Ok, so gameplay is to basically get stuff growing on the smoky tile
• What does the fist icon symbolize?
• Level 3, looks like we have blocker tiles I have to go around?
• Oh, I guess the fist symbolizes how many choices I have? Perhaps this is tuned too generously, I didn't even notice this mechanic at first until I looked up at the top, doesn't feel hard to make it to the smoke tiles
• Getting all the tiles green feels very satisfying!
• Oh, the game exited to main menu before I was finished reading the little text blurb, I guess that's game over? Yeah, continue just returns to the same level

Awesome concept and I love the text blurbs and poetry to help tell the story of the land's renewal. The concept the game is based on is a really cool ecological idea and it was fun to see it actualized in a game! Everything is very cohesive, just needs some tuning to make it more challenging. I would totally play a version of this on my phone, feels like a great game I could pop in to solve a level of while waiting for the bus.
