I was so hooked on this.  Incredible puzzle and already very well constructed and well presented to the player. Great work!

Loved the game, it was not easy at all to grasp the rules, but it is a really nice game, i enjoyed it, great job !

Oh sweet Lavendah, how your mysterious rules 'scape me..

Awesome game! Love the concept and the style, though I haven't quite managed to get past the Lavendah levels. I'll definitely come back for another try, great job!

Really unique idea for this jam! I figured out some of the puzzles but got stuck eventually. Still had a lot fo fun, great job!

We also took the flower route for bounty! I was totally stumped initially, then went back and thought I understood, then got stuck on F and no hint was helping. This is clever, but I might not be smart enough to understand.
 I would maybe consider changing the trowel to have that plant selected. I found it a little annoying to use the trowel to pick it up, then have to click the flower to place it again. I want to just hold it in my hands :)

thanks for giving it a try!

fyi: you can also remove flowers by clicking on them with any flower selected. you can also click + drag to plant or remove flowers quickly. this isn't conveyed ingame so i see how the trowel existing would make someone think that's the only way to remove flowers.

This game has such a cool concept. I managed to get the first set of gardens, and I thought I understood lavendah but now I am totally stumped haha. I will be coming back to try again later...

Ok I got my math nerd friend to play this with me co-op, and we managed to beat it together. This was such a blast, definitely my favourite I've played so far.

My only note is that I think the very last level did not have a unique solution! Very disappointing haha.

Developer

thanks for playing! i'm glad to hear you enjoyed. and good catch on the final level... we were able to fix this in the bug period! the level was transcribed incorrectly, but now it should be unique :-)
