I really like how you're using audio in the game. Nice graphics and visual accents, too.\r\rThe only thing that wasn't clear to me was what the pulsing of the flowers accomplished."},{"author_name":"Jaus_LXXIV","author_uid":"21307","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 4:25am","epoch":1367209200,"text":"There isn't very much of a game here. It's got objectives but no obstacles to those objectives, so there's no challenge. As part of a larger system, I could see it being interesting though. The visuals and sound effects work well together to produce a relaxing mood at least. It is minimal but it doesn't feel like a complete experience."},{"author_name":"TrentSterling","author_uid":"20238","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 4:32am","epoch":1367209620,"text":"This is the first game I've come across that I didn't see coming - if that makes sense. I really liked it! My only suggestion would be to make clicking the plants base harvest the seed. \r\rI don't know why, but I feel like that would be good."},{"author_name":"FenLudum","author_uid":"22548","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 10:00am","epoch":1367229300,"text":"Enjoyed this, very satisfying"},{"author_name":"YSelf Tool","author_uid":"10854","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 11:36am","epoch":1367235060,"text":"No obstacle, no game."},{"author_name":"LionOfOrange","author_uid":"23325","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 12:18pm","epoch":1367237580,"text":"Liked it.
