this was so fun! i love the style, all the visuals are really good even if it's a bit sad that there's no complementary soundtrack. the whole gameplay concept is great, took me a bit to figure them out but once i did i had a great time trying to get the right combination for the judges. i actually wouldn't have minded having to start from the beginning after failing a judge, would be the fun kind of gaming frustration that a lot of the harder retro titles lean into.
imo this game has one of the more creative interpretations of the jam theme. good job making this and thanks for sharing :)
Gameplay was a fun twist on turn based combat. And I loved that garden configurations changed the balance of things in "battle" with the judges. Very funny and fun. I have absolutely no idea what Mrs Stalk wants but whatever it is, it was not in my honey.
Graphics are a treat. I like the art style, the portraits of the judges are each very unique and well drawn.
No soundtrack or FX, sadly.
Gameboy Soul is here. I could see this being one of those odd quirky budget titles late in Gameboy's life.
Quirkiness is here for sure. I love the off the wall humor and the punny names.
Theme interpretation is a bit of a stretch but I will say it's here a bit.
Overall very fun and funny. Well done.

Good graphics, especially the color choice! I was a bit lost first but understood everything as I kept playing, so it was nice. I only got a bit frustrated by the "ineffective" and "very effective" not applying accurately. Sometimes I'd get "very effective" and the HP of the judge wouldn't move a single pixel, and sometimes I got "ineffective" and it moved, which was kind of good winning-wise, but along with the other one, it was confusing and frustrating overall. The gameplay itself was good, though, and the way of integrating the "old gold" was funny :)
creative battle systeme , i like that flowers give different kind of attacks ! Really great graphics and anim !!
I love your take on the theme and it definitely wasn't something I expected to see based off the "Old Gold" theme. Very creative and I liked the concept!
So charming :)) It was rewarding to piece together how the flowers influence your moveset. The forgiving nature of the game allowed for this and was appreciated.
This game was so sweet! (ha). I played it on the gameboy. Love the pokemon mechanics. Great job, I laughed a lot!
