i loved the music and its paced quite well
What a nice and relaxing way to spend 5 minutes! I like the implementation of the optional theme. The progression felt nice - not too fast and not too slow. I somehow missed the little green lines on the water & nutrients and so my first time around I just filled them up completely and killed my tree :( But the second time around I got it to bloom! I can totally see this becoming an extended game with different trees that offer new challenges. The only feedback I could offer is that it might have been nice to have some more decoration in the room, but that's a small thing. Good job!
Yeah, we only had two out of the three days to work on the game, so we had to make decisions about what to focus on. The room would definitely get more attention if we had more time. Thanks for playing!
I think this perfectly fits the theme of the jam: it is engaging and cozy, taking care of another life. The piano music goes very well with the waiting periods. Little fun game, thanks for sharing :)
Yay, the bloom! Sweet game, thank you for the experience. Also, let the gnomes in!
The bloom is so satisfying, right?!
And we promise we will let the gnomes inside when they get too cold! ^-^
Very pleasant music and what a chill game !
Thanks. Hopefully it made your day a little more relaxed!
The game felt really cozy and the music felt so peaceful.
Thamks!
We really wanted to channel that cozy zen vibe ^-^
A very short and well executed game. I loved the cozy vibes and art.
Thank you!
Just like in real life, I managed to overwater the bosai! Lol!
Pretty cool game! Loved that tiny gnome from the window! Good work!
Hehe it's not easy ^-^
The gnomes are always watching ...
very cosy, well done
Thanks!
Very realistic, I kept killing my plant. Loved the pixel art and general ambience.
Thanks!
I'll let you in on a little secret ... if you have patience and improve your maintenance balance your bonsai buddy will recover!
Very nice and relaxing game, also liked all the animals watching from outside the window!
Thanks! We promise we will let them inside when they get too cold! ^-^
Suuuper relaxing, it was genuinely exciting to see it grow. I would love a version of this game that just sits at the bottom of my screen all day!
That was the initial idea, but since it would require a download (which are less ideal for GameJams) we decided to try it like this. Thanks for playing!
