Manodoro is a mandrake and mandrake is a plant with roots :)

Very well designed! Consistent aesthetic, simple UI, sitting peacefully in the corner. I really appreciate the ethos behind it. That said I wouldn't consider it a game, and in a play test I didn't observe anything interesting happen (the root never grew for me after lots of short iterations).
Clearly a lot of care has gone into this and it's great for it's use case, I'd love to see how it matures - keep it up!
Thank you for checking it out! Only real time put into this will grow the mandrake. I think I should approach it differently and make it grow with iteration count at least for the jam version. And yeah it is not really a game, I was tempted by #2 rule of the jam :D
Nice project which was pretty well implemented ✨
It is a very good interpretation of the theme. Simple concept but efficient and original.
Could be nice to have more flexibility options, such as being able to resize the window, and maybe some customization functionalities.
Good job ! 🌈🌱🍂
Thank you for spending some time with Manodoro! I am working on post jam update and window resize feature is there. Customization would be awesome and is something I would like to add in the future :)
It's a nice idea, and the art looks very good. But, like others have already said, it takes too long for something to happen. Overall, I like it. It's different from other jam entries!
Thank you very much! I am really glad you liked it, I am working on a post jam update with some qol and balance to the grow time ;)
Good idea! Takes a bit too long to make something happen but it’s a great companion. Also, very nice artwork :)
Thank you very much! I am glad you liked it :)
Honestly I tried your game cause I saw it had no reviews. So here is mine:
The idea is really interesting, I saw another pomodoro related game in the jam but yours is a companion and feels different in a good way. I like the aesthetics of what you did and how it sit in a corner of your pc while you do your thing.
I coulnd't get my mandrake root to grow tho, I tried speedrunning it to grow by setting low pomodoro times and it didn't level up, I'm not sure if I did something wrong.
:)
Thank you for your time! I may overdone it a bit, especially for the jam version, it grows only with real life minutes and takes almost 24 minutes for lvl1, 50 minutes for lvl 2 and so on, lvls 4+ takes more than 4 hours.
