Had to decrease the speed a bit, to make it a bit more cozy :P FANTASTIC artwork, love the plants, different stages - well done. Had some small issue with items getting stuck, and could use a little bit more clear UI to see which plants need what, but it is super cute, and smart puzzle game. Ah, sound effects also very fitting!

The game goes from 0 to 100 very quick. More playtesting is needed for this game. Sad that you couldn't finish it, because I think the concept is quite fine. Best of luck to you all.

Neat concept Ican definitely see how this can turn into a full game later down the line. This version tho unfinished as 90% of gamejams go (dont check my game because it is fully finished and has like 100 levels Ive just finished talking to an IGN representative and we already have a publisher so we are in like 00000.1% of people who do jams and see this much success but I digress) is still amazing and honestly the art made my giggle :) good stuff! I was just spamming all the tools and they loved me <3

The concept is really fun but I found it so hard to keep the plants. The art and sounds are really cool also

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! We're working on a new build currently and are adjusting the balancing :) Appreciate the feedback!

Developer

Thank you so much!! :) <3

A really fun game! I really like the graphics and sounds. The default speed might be a little too fast

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! Noted on the default speed - we're working on a polished build with final assets currently :)

Holy shit this is soo beautiful. This reminded me a lot on the "Plants vs Zombie" mode where you have some plants too in the menu

Developer

Thank you so much! I have to admit, Plants vs Zombies isn't one I've played, but will have to check this out now you've mentioned it! Thanks for playing :)

I really like the artwork thee hand drawn style is pretty cute. but unfortunately it can't alone carry the player feedback, even a small bouncing animation for when you interact with the plants would have done wonders!

Developer(+1)

Appreciate the feedback :) We were fairly limited by time and scope (doing the jam around full-time work) so had to try and keep parts minimal, but we're working on a more polished build currently so will take this into account. Thanks for playing!

Really cute art! I'm glad you included adjustments, as the default speed was really difficult. Loved all the animations.

Developer

Thank you for playing and for these lovely comments! Will pass them onto our team. Good to know that the adjustments came in handy :D Appreciate the feedback!

lovely art and nice mechanics! It would be great if the tools had slightly larger hit areas

Developer

Thank you for playing! Noted on the feedback - we're working on a more polished build currently, so will take this into account :) Thanks!

These are the neediest plants I have ever taken care of and I love them 😄 adore the art style, music and little sound effects! Would definitely like to play again once the missing assets are in - overall incredible game to achieve in just 4 days 👏 

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and leaving such lovely feedback! <3 Will pass on these comments to our wonderful team :))

We're working on a more polished build currently, and will update the page once voting ends!

Great take on the theme, and the art style is so fun! Those plants sure are needy though... there's a bit of a mismatch between the cozy vibes that the art and music give and how the mechanics make me feel (stressed and behind like there's a jam deadline coming up!). Which is actually kind of cool.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing and leaving us feedback! 'Cosy with a chaotic edge' was the vibe. Totally not influenced by jam conditions, the overall theme, and real life experience of owning multiple needy plants... :D

Cute! The default speed is a bit difficult to me, I'm glad you've included an option to adjust it. The gameplay is fun, quite intense, and the art style is very cozy indeed

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for playing and leaving us this feedback! Great to know that the adjustments came in handy :)

This is quite intense for a cozy plant sim. Some annoying bugs, but great original idea!

Developer

'Cosy with a chaotic edge' was the vibe :D Thanks for playing! We're working on bug fixes currently, as well as getting final assets in for a new build once voting ends :)

Cute little game! The plants are fun little designs, but it's a bit busted, both the shears and the spray bottle became stuck and unusable.

Developer(+1)

It wouldn't be a jam game without some busted elements :D Thanks for letting us know! We're working on a polished build with final assets and bug fixes, and will upload after voting ends. Thanks for playing! :)

Interesting idea ! However, it's not really my type of game...

Developer

Thanks for checking it out, even if it's not your usual go-to :))
