I can emphasize the good atmosphere of the game and the pleasant sound design. I didn't understand how to play right away, but over time, I adapted. Perhaps there's a need to modify the level design; personally, I couldn't keep up with all the flowers. Nevertheless, the game is lively overall, thanks to the pleasing animations.

Thank you so much, levels would be better designed if we would give them more time, we was running short on time se i figured we can just make them hard so people will replay them and game will take them more than 3 minutes, all of our choices about levels was not that good, worst side of our game is level design
Awesome graphics, sounds, music fits well, gameplay is precise and responsive; I know you were short on time to add in more levels but this is a very satisfying result you should be proud of!
Ultimately the way the game is now is more about optimizing your run to get a perfect accuracy score.
However I don't get why the keybindings to play the game are not more visible in the about section, it was abit confusing playing the game at first, better yet, make the keybindings permanently visible in the menu screen, otherwise I enjoyed this one alot.
I like this submission, its a fun concept with fun visuals and a fun execution. For some reason I was only able to play level 1 though. Even with VSync on the other levels wouldnt load for me and I would just get put into like the void.
Overall I do like it though!
the game was original and had a creative take on the theme. one of my favorite games in the jam so far
Art and sound design are good. I think the gameplay could be more interesting, possibly increase difficulty with more levels or add more mechanics.
I think that it has a lot in common with Pac-Man! Overall it was a good experience.
Game Design: clever mechanic, perfectly in theme. I don't know if, in a full game, the fact that a missed flower makes the level harder is a good choice. It makes the players go for 100%, restarting when a flower is missed, which is less permissible for non-skilled players. But for a game jam is fine!
The 100% windows should be more permissive because the fact that the player understands the perfect route in the level is not enough to complete it at 100%, giving him frustration for repeating a level that he already mastered.
Level Design: it misses a real progression. You have to first introduce the mechanic in a super simple level, then build up difficulty level after level. The fact that the player is catapulted into the level with a timer, enemies, and QTEs is confusing and overwhelming.
You also should be aware of the second dynamic that you have that occurs when 2 flowers are blooming at the same time at a different speed. That is something that you have to teach too in a simple level.
So, for example, you should have:
1. tutorial - one flower only
2. simple level - enemy and 2 flowers
3. medium level
4. simple level with flowers that bloom at different speeds
5. medium level
6. hard level
Sound Design, Graphics, and Music are not my fields, but I find them pleasing
I liked the aesthetics like design is music! But the gameplay itself i didn't quite understand
Cant play just have a brown horizon try to open it in fullscreen, didnt help
but cool music
I cannot play the game because opening a level just displays a brown horizon... But the title screen music is nice.
