The game is getting funnier the longer you play. So I think the timer being wayyy too short is not helping you. :(
Being a gamejam, if the other players did not care about retrying the game, they will totally miss the point.
First playthrough: placing a few seeds resulting in a muddy color and 0 seed available.
Second playthrough: managed to get bees around my grass(?) to plant flowers and Flytraps for the sake of it. ~1140 points.
Third playthrough: spamming grass and putting flowers in between to keep the grass alive longer. 1940 points.
I'm still curious about the flytrap so I'm gonna read your instructions and see what I can do with them.
I also didn't quite get the concept of the Venus Flytraps, but the idea is nice. I just wished there was thyme :o But overall, a cute game! And it could easily be expanded too, after the jam. For example, the plants could seed themselves automatically after some time.
Not sure I fully understood all the mechanics, but after a while I managed to get the hang of it.
Managed to get 435 after a few attempts. I think I don't totally understand how the flytraps works. But it's a cool game. Well done!
That was fun! It took me a second to figure out but I managed to score 800 points!
I like the art, but your game was a little bit confusing (despite your good explanations on the itch page).
