Hey :) I would really like to post my garden in the comments, but there seems to be no comment section under the game ...

Also, the idea with the integer sequences is really cool. :)

Submitted

What a beautiful garden game. I love the aesthetics and the atmosphere of this one. :) The ui was a bit confusing sometimes, but nevertheless, a really cozy and cute game. Thank you for making my day a bit more green :)

Lovely artwork, lovely tunes!! I am bad at numbers so mainly was planting hoping for the best! I found myself coming back to play many times!!

Developer

Thank-you for your repeat plays! We have some ideas of further development so will have to watch this space :)

Had a fun time with this, albeit mildly creeped out by the backing track haha

Here's my garden:

Developer

Sweet garden! Very organised :)

I think the backing track hits very different for those who are used to 1940s music representing post-war nuked out wastelands XD

Really beautiful artwork! Loved the game and the vibe!

Lovely artwork as usual! As an avid Numberphile watcher, I knew all of the sequences except for Sophie Germain primes (gotta see if they have a video about that). Digging the cozy vibes overall. Slightly broke the opening cutscene by having an extremely weird 16:10 screen ratio, but apart from that, everything worked well :)

Developer

Thank-you kindly!

Sophie Germain is  super interesting mathematician :) Highly recommend looking up her history :D

Really nice experience. Cozy, soothing - great choice of music.

I also like the title very much, it fits perfectly.

Beautiful and zen. Fantastic work. BGM sent me to a lovely place in my head. awesome stuff.

Well that was lovely! I restarted a couple times when I realized I was using up my precious days with my random test clicks (because of course every click is critical) but I got the hang of it and made a little garden I like. I’m gonna grow up to live in a tropical rainforest, you’ll see.

Ahww lovely garden!

Not sure how the cat is going to get out of the shed but hey....

This game makes me think of my grandmother, and how painful it feels to watch someone fade as they forget themselves and you. Probably not intentionally emotional but at its core, it certainly was. Thank you for this submission <3

I would submit my garden, but itch isn't letting me!! (darn you itch!)

Developer(+2)

Thank-you so much for sharing such a personal reaction. We were definitely trying to invoke a late 1940s vibe with the music and pacing which echoes the lives of our own grandparents.

Thanks again for playing! I'm sure your garden was beautiful :)

What a fantastic, relaxing, cozy game. The artwork is 5 stars.

Flower planting catharsis. I can't wait to retire.

Absolutely whimsical experience! The title alone tells me all I need to know. Being left to grow a garden of my on making already makes for a relaxing time, but the integer sequence system adds the right amount of depth! I had to really think and plan out how I wanted to layout my garden with the limited amount of days I had! And the cherry on top is the music and beautiful art! It helped create such a tranquil and serene atmosphere.

I would have liked a simple tutorial on how the day system worked, I only say that because I want to maximize my gardening efficiency of course! And sometimes clicking would cause a softlock in the counter.

Cheers to the team! Definitely coming back to tend to my garden again!

A gorgeous and tidy garden! Thank-you for your kind words :)

We have some ideas for future development, will see how we all feel post jam results! :D

Lovely game!

The art style, combined with the music set me a little uneasy. Still, props for the concept. Nice work!

Submitted(+2)

As others have said, this is a really nice and cozy experience.

The only thing I would change is making the day progression more intentional - for example, when I clicked on the game to get it into focus, I accidentally skipped a day (the same goes for misclicks, etc.).

Also, as a non-native speaker, I didn't know what a trellis was, but that's on me. :D

Really cool and thoughtful entry!

Sadly, for some reason uploading images to comments is not working for me right now, so I can't share my garden. :(

so gorgeous and calming! the music really lulled me into a zone for a moment there. i filled my garden with lots of lillies - they're so lovely. 

Developer(+1)

Beautiful gardening! No clematis on this run but there's always next time ;)

Submitted(+2)

Nice little cozy game with great art. The music reminded me a bit of Everywhere at the End of Time (which is probably not intentional). Maybe a sort of calendar system would make it easier to see which flowers can be planted on which days.

Submitted(+1)

Really cool art and premise!

I loved creating my sunflower field -

How did you do this????

(PS thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed!)

Submitted (2 edits) (+1)

It was through math and careful planning :)

Developer(+1)

Spectacular work 👏

No but for real.... there's only ten Fibonacci numbers between 1 and 100??

Love it, but please tell us how you broke the game! XD

EDIT: Ah! thank you for letting us know. I have deleted your reply to avoid too many others doing this also...

GORGEOUS, BEAUTIFUL, I LOVED THE ARTTTT! 

Literally nothing beats seeing hand-made new art and doing it all in such a crunch amount of time we have! 

This was cozy and perfect and hope to see more games made by this lovely team! Had so much fun streaming this game and  love meh new garden ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡

Developer(+2)

Thank you very much!

We felt like last year we had solid art but didn't showcase it well enough so the plan this year was to make it all about the art :) I think it's really paid off.

Your garden is just perfect! :D
