Really chill game. Having the flower silhouettes in the top left game me a reason to keep pushing and planting. I didn't have to wait too long either, and I found the statue shortly after. I liked the change in atmosphere after descending. The lighting from the lantern looked cool there and gave it a different feeling from the garden. I also liked the ongoing tutorial messages. Always nice to see that instead of having a bunch of info thrown at you all at once. Really cool that you can read the scrolls back on the title screen too. The whole game had a really relaxing vibe.

Kinda optimized the fun out of it by just cycling going up/down and only leaving the doorways to collect stuff lol, maybe make it so you have to go through a new door each time to prevent that? Was a nice vibe

Fun and relaxing! Could be a halloween game, too, because there's ghost. I'm still not sure what to do with the scrolls, though.

Im extremely sorry, to view your scrolls, press the collections page on the front cover. Thank you for playing!

A nice interpretation of the theme + limitation. I am glad I got him home! I enjoyed trying it. It might be nice if the statue didn't generate until you had the flowers? Since we already understand the goal I think.

I had a little  trouble at first knowing where to plant - at first I thought it was all water rather than garden spots. Other than that I thought exploring was nice.
