I loved the Pokemon inspiration, very creative and funny you stuck to the theme well. :)

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 :)

Cute game! Loved the turn based combat and the mechanic with changing moves. The final battle was very interesting with the bear changing his vulnerabilities, which was the only thing that saved me, lol. Your hand shaking when presenting honey to judges was a nice touch.

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 :)

cute graphics. very crisp game. I love the take on the battle system with honey flavours. well done.

Submitted

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!

Submitted

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!
