I felt there were a bit too many menus. It kind of seemed like I was doing word processing more than playing a game! The gameplay itself was good though it was not always clear to me why a given set of flowers expired. On the other hand, for other levels the solutions tended to be too straightforward (e.g. you have 2 seeds which you place in the two corresponding lines)."},{"author_name":"panzermancer","author_uid":"5826","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 4:17am","epoch":1346040720,"text":"Very well put-together.

Your CSS and web design look really nice. The game itself needed a little more spice I think. I found it difficult to visualize what it would look like a few turns in the future. I like the concept too, and a few tweaks would make it pretty cool."},{"author_name":"TwilightFlandre","author_uid":"14448","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 5:39am","epoch":1346045640,"text":"I enjoyed the puzzles and the game was clearly well thought out.
