Cute little game! Wasn’t sure how the layers theme fit in, but loved it for the girly game jam nonetheless! :D

Theme explanation
We incorporated "Layers" on two levels. Mechanically, the greenhouse garden works through overlapping layers — foliage, roots, and light — which players can toggle between to see how each plant quietly affects its neighbors beneath the surface. Narratively, potion orders start out as simple, lighthearted requests, but a more personal and darker story gradually surfaces, layer by layer, as the game progresses.

Such an ambitious project for this jam! There are so many cool mechanics that incorporate the layers theme. The UI is a bit difficult to digest with all the menus since there's so much information to manage. The stories in the requests are very cute. Definitely see the potential for a full game here with more sound effects and polishing.

Star Stacked: An Idol ManagerVery cool game. I love the interaction between plants and the adjacent fields, that is such a great idea. Also the pixel art is really awesome. The only improvement i can think of is making the game scale up properly. The tutorial is really helpful and the music fits as well and sounds really good. Nice job.

Glitter Mine Sticker Scavengevery ambitious game, wow! the mechanics go very in depth, and for a first time doing pixel art, i say you did a pretty good job! i think it could do with more polish especially on the audio side, if that's an idea you ever feel revisiting :)

Thanks, Mom...You said you were doing pixel art for the first time?, the witch´s house looks pretty actually.
I do appreciate that you have a tutorial too, it helps a lot.

I Became Friend with an Onion GirlieThis was great! I appreciated how the tutorial took us through step by step and was easy to understand. There's so much to this game that I'm really impressed you achieved in such a short time: the day/night cycle, foraging, animation of the grimoire, the cursor turning into an arrow and more. I particularly like the plant management system where you have to think about time and humidity AND sun, plus the little detail that the water level goes down when you water! I did find that there was some visual clutter when it came to the witch's room, which could probably be easily solved with just having a bigger room (like the greenhouse). I think this was a tremendous effort overall tho so great job :) ❤️

PlatformationYour feedback on the game is really sweet, thank you so much for that. Yes, we were pretty ambitious and inspired for this jam, which might explain why the game is full of bugs and the gameplay balance isn’t quite there yet. But we’d really like to improve it and finish this project properly after the voting for this jam is over. <3
Very fun game. I love the concept and style. The only thing I would add is some more information in the plants tab about what bonuses they provide when fully grown, it took me quite a minute to figure out how to get enough light for my lavender stack. Great work!

Cursed BakeryLoved the idea and the feeling, I had a lot of fun.
Small question though : Is there a way to improve our garden to have more light ? I feel like I can't grow lavender but maybe it's just me being lost ahah

The Space Between UsI love the concept of this game! The ambition is showing, and it is still pretty fun to play! You did greet for this jam, thanks for this fun experience! ❤️

The Witchy FamiliarGreat concept! And what a scope you took on, very bold
I think the game mainly lacks polish. A lot of the UI is very basic. Lots of menus where there could be something more fun to interact with, very little in terms of sounds outside of the music. That said, once I warmed up to it, it drew me in and kept me playing for a good while. Well done!
