Late reply, and you're owed one, not a like.

You and one other player both hit the same wall: the page promises no fail state, and then the plant dries out and the screen tells you to try again. That contradiction is mine, and so is not making it clear whether it was the plant or the cloud that ran dry. Both are the first thing I'm changing.

The link: sorry, that was on my end. It should work now, https://mani-lands.itch.io/bloom - if it still doesn't, tell me what it says and I'll chase it.

You played on mobile, which is useful on its own.

On the trade: you said not to finish Dualspace, so I'll go at the UX instead. First few minutes, where I hesitate, where a control isn't obvious, in the same format. Give me a couple of days.

Thanks for taking it seriously enough to name the seconds. That's the only kind of note I can actually use.

You're right about both dips, and you're the second player to catch the same contradiction: the page says there's no fail state, then the plant dries out and the screen says "tap to try again." Both can't be true. I'm cutting the contradiction this week, along with the grey cloud that stops raining for no visible reason. That silent stop is the exact ten-second loss you named.

The closing flower is fair too. Reaching it should mark itself. I'll hold it open a beat and count it, so letting go afterwards can't undo the win.

I'll take the second pass on Dogam, same format back: where I stopped, no verdict. Give me a couple of days.

Good. Cutting the setup is the right first cut: one click, then the letter after the first capture, not before it. Send the new build and I'll take the second pass.

Mine: https://mani-lands.itch.io/bloom (browser, ~20s, no install). Fair warning: it's tiny, one drag and a hold, and it is the exact thing I'm trying to break. Tell me the second you stopped caring, not whether it's nice.
