YAY
I love my alien flower so much, I don't even mind my hand is eaten /á >ăŽ<á\ŕ¸
(Please fix the checkpoint bug it really makes the trial and error process very painful)
Hey thanks for playing the game!!! Glad you made it to the end, your plantâs looking very alien, very healthy
Really sorry about the checkpoint bug, Iâll update the build when voting period ends
Ok... I have no clue... What is correct solution when flower is not blooming and there are red leaves? I tried probably everything... :D
But, next to this, it's perfect!
Same, I can't figure that one out, it keeps ending my run
Hey Vaclav, thanks for playing the game!
Hereâs the solution if youâd like to take a look:
SPOILERS
I am sure I did this. Many times. Still the heart got broken. Any chance it needs to be some specific leaves?
God dammit, it's working! And you know what?! Because, in my translation, I confused RED and YELLOW, so everything works until that moment with flower :D Aaaaaaa... Anyway, I'm now in day 47 :) Thanks for your help.
Haha! Letâs go~
Let us know when you beat the game!
Any chance you would fix checkpoints, maybe updated the game to final stage as you wanted? Cause I would love to buy it, download it and play it in my free time and let my daughter and wife to try :D
There arenât any conditions coded in for specific leaves, and I just tried it on the web build, any chance that you forgot to water the plant, or the leaf count was wrong?
SPOILER
Making sure weâre aligned, Itâs red leaves full sun (1 leaf desired), and closed flower (+1 to leaf desired) -> so you would only trim one leaf that day to have 2 leaves when you end the day. You also need to have both curtains open!
Very cool game with lots of mechanics! It was surprisingly difficult, couldn't figure out blue flower for the life of me. Very interesting entry to be sure.
Hey MilqMochi, thank you for taking time to play the game!
If youâre talking about these âflowersâ:
Seedlings
Then hereâs the rule for them:
SPOILER
If youâre talking about these flowers:
Pustules
Hereâs the solution to them:
SPOILERS
Weed + Tentacle + Leaf removed count == Pod lit up count
took me soooo long to figure out the colors. Was definitely worth it though đŻ this game is so cute and surprisingly difficult. I love the SFX they were so satisfying.
Thanks for playing the game! If you made it to the end, hope the payoff was fun and heartwarming
I played this with my boyfriend and we were both locked in on trying to figure out what each thing meant-- couldn't figure it out but we got a TINYY bit in (got stuck on the yellow flower part for 30 minutes) i still think this was really fun and polished and enjoyable!! I loved this concept and the gameplay a lot! :D
Hey Maxacre, thank you so much for playing the game!
I'm glad you guys enjoyed it; super aware that the yellow flower part doesn't do a great job with progressive disclosure, so that's great feedback and will be something we'll try to to improve if this gets a post-jam update
I worked on the game in collaboration with the folks at Rocket Penguin, so if you enjoyed the game, they have a couple more small and fun ones too - Time Toad being one of my favorites!

nice game, i like your artwork and music, did not get very far tho, as in rl i suck at keeping plants alive :D
thank you for playing our game!
Awesome game! A little confusing though. Probably the point, though. 4.17 average stars.
oh my. it did 3 for some reason
thanks for taking the time to rate our game!
No problem!

this is a great idea, I love the rules discovery language translation mechanic. I couldn't figure out what to do once you get the leaves and the bulb, maybe I'm just dumb lmao, it would've been nice to have some way to speed up the beginning stages though
thanks for playing our game! this is great feedback, and I've gone ahead and made it so you can speed up animations with SPACEBAR. Would love for you to give it another shot at getting to the end!
Only made it to day 17, but loved it! If there was a checkpoint system I think I would have tried to finish it. Great idea, great game!
Update: Tried the new save system but it did not save my notes. I would recommend having those persist to ease gameplay.
Thanks for playing the game, that's a bug that flew under our radar, and I'll have a fix for that this in a couple of hours! Again, appreciate you so much for giving it a shot (the payoff at the end is really cute and worth it, trust!)
Fixed the notes issue on new save system!
The art style and music are nice!
Thanks for playing our game!
Love me a plant growing game â¤ď¸
Thanks for playing our game, always happy to see a fellow plant enjoyer!
