It would be nice if the watering gave some sort of feedback as to what it was doing (is it actually doing anything?). Based on just this small concept, I could see this growing into a much larger bonsai-style game where you have to water and prune your plant(s) in various ways to get them to grow into desirable shapes. Really cool little concept!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"fiaKaiera","author_uid":"1048706","time":"2020-04-20T21:49:46Z","epoch":1587419386,"modified":1587419386,"text":"This is so good! You did the meditative experience very well. It's nice to see a relaxing experience after a while.\n\nAs a physics simulation, it does its job very well to the theme surprisingly. (I got my whole plant fallen down and I have to start over and that makes me say \"oh noooooo\") It's pretty nice to see this little plant go into a very blooming tree~!\n\nThe only problem that is the roots takes too much space and I don't see anything going on with them except growing. So maybe adjust the camera a bit higher so I can admire the plant itself more.\n\nThank you for this experience it soothes me a lot.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"PhantomBadger","author_uid":1183571,"time":"2020-04-21T12:27:10Z","epoch":1587472030,"modified":1587472030,"text":"Really enjoyed the whole experience, the purpose of 'cutting' the roots and plant parts was a little unclear, though it may have just been a tool in the sandbox rather than an actual thing you need to do to help the plant prosper.\nLoved the aesthetic and sound!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Alex Mulkerrin","author_uid":"1012101","time":"2020-04-21T13:30:25Z","epoch":1587475825,"modified":1587475825,"text":"This plant has so much character the way the branches dangle down before growing strong enough to reach upwards.

Really nice detail.\n\nOnce I cut down all the leaves of my tree, three or four new roots began to grow deeper in the ground than my original plant and nothing ever came out of them. Is that supposed to happen?\n\nI like your name - Death by Snail - very fitting :-)","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"blobo","author_uid":"1008715","time":"2020-04-25T04:28:25Z","epoch":1587788905,"modified":1587788905,"text":"Very relaxing, though it took my tree a long time before it finally stood up.
