I love the feeling that you are playing two games at once, and enjoyed the dialogue options and prompts to remember past conversations. I couldn't tell if the answers had an impact on how the plant was doing?\nUnfortunately the dialogue looped quite quickly for me, and the water\/sunlight was a bit too easy to keep in a good range. But great concept and I would love to play a more challenging version with more conversations :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"spthiel","author_uid":"1073354","time":"2020-04-20T15:34:16Z","epoch":1587396856,"modified":1587396865,"text":"@scifi6546 Thanks! :D \n\n@captainabi The answers do have an impact on how the plant is doing and if you actually want to finish on an affection run, you have to use them to your advantage. I do agree tho that there isn't a hole lot of questions but I couldn't come up with more of them so I looped them.\nAlso I intentionally wanted the water and sun to be simple because I wanted to have the game more on the zen side than a difficult game","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"mbc","author_uid":"1124274","time":"2020-04-20T16:25:45Z","epoch":1587399945,"modified":1587399945,"text":"interesting genre-blend of a dating sim and a virtual pet game here! I didn't find it immediately intuitive that I wanted bars to stay in the center (until water got too high and turned red).

The humor in the concept and the writing are really nice. Small note, the algebra question doesn't make any sense to me but I figured out what the \"right\" answer was after a round or two of seeing it. The flower sprite and the way it grows is really cute. My only criticism is that the music is pretty repetitive but there's a mute button so it's fine.
