This was really, really cute :) The music and the pleasing graphics conjure a wonderfully cozy mood. And yes, those aphids are really annoying, you just HAVE to get them off the plant. I'm glad I could make my grandfather proud :)

A good peaceful game and music. I need an endless mode and a score based on the number of branch and their length!

Nice game! I didn't find it relaxing, the shades of red quickly building up was concerning and the aphids just wouldn't go away. But I still found it fun, and I particularly love the graphics. It's cool how it was all physics based, a very impressive system. Well done! :heart:

I really loved the mood in this game. The tranquillity and peace. The music was very pleasing and polished. It fit the game so well. The art is also great. Really loved it!

Man this is amazing, please give some ratings so you can end up with a score because it would be sad if this went unrecognized.
Edit: just found this game https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/plantasia, oddly similar.

It's quite hard to pour the water on some branch in the back but the idea is lovely!

Thank you all for the feedback!

@guntainment oh too bad, can you detail the bug? The space key didn't work? Or the plant didn't grow? :/

@730 thanks for the share! It's funny to see people with similar idea ahah

I loved the game, very different of everything that I ever played. The music is relaxing and the art is good.

This was a nice experience, much less stressful, but still a fun game. My only little gripe is that sometimes it was hard to water the branch you wanted to.

What a lovely experience! I'd recommend some snapping system to make it easier targetting specific branches, but everything else was wonderful. I love the dynamic growth of the tree so much.

Very sweet little game. Art is awesome and music is relaxing. Tech behind the plant growth seem interesting. I think this is best game so far I've played during this jam. Well done.

Relaxing game, with beautiful art and music. A little bit difficult to target branches, since they keep swaying; maybe use snapping and have the can target a group of branches? Now that I think about it watering branches isn't a very common thing to do :P

Petit jeu très agréable et plaisant, relaxant même. C'est mignon et paisible. Vraiment une belle découverte. Bravo à vous deux :)

Good game ! J'ai vraiment apprécié le feeling de voir l'arbre grandir et devoir gérer son balancement / équilibre !
Du beau boulot !

Such a lovely game, it hits that sweet spot of being relaxing and yet not letting you rest too long. The dialogs / backstory are funny and the peaceful guitar is a really nice touch.

Hi, here is some feedback,

:thumbsup: **What I liked:**
✱ peaceful art and animations
✱ nice music
✱ growing flowers

:muscle: **What imo could be improved:**
✱ the "bee teleportation" when moving left and right and the inertia makes it very frustrating to target what you want
✱ The objectives (time ? size ?) and the consequences of losing branches is not very clear, I felt a bit abandonned with the tree which I did not find confortable

:sparkles: **Overall**
✱ I've not been captivated by the game but the care given to animations and mood tells you have put good energy and vibes in it. Thanks for the game!
