Start your own garden, plant flowers, water them and finally crop what you deserves. There is unfortunately a slight problem. MOLES! They try to eat your preciuos plants and destroy patches.

Protect plants with traps but remember to take care of your flowers. Without water they will not improve.

Keep the balance and win!

Movement could be improved, otherwise a good game

Good graphics! I felt the camera movement seems too dizzying. Maybe if it moved *with* the charater, it would be a little bit easier to keep track. I think a small melody in the background would make quite a cheerful play. The noises the moles make where quite bizarre.

I liked it. Just the controlls irritated me a bit because of the 45 degree angle. But It is pretty challenging :)

Nice idea for the gameplay but the camera angle is a bit disorienting! Good graphics

Nice idea, the style is very nice. Player movement feels rigid and unresponsive, I think probably because its locked to 4 directions, I think a more free-flowing movement system would have benefitted the game.
Congratulations on the submission :)

really cool game but it could have been better with better movement system its challenging i couldnt keep 1 flower alive but i figured out that i can put traps all around the map before planting any flowers xD
the pick and place system was great

The movement can probably be improved but the game is fun (and quite challenging) and the idea behind it is nice!

Thanks for the feedback! I am aware of movement and camera issues but the "first hour" poor design decisions forced me to leave it as is. Next time I will do it more managable :D

Good job releasing the game! As for feedback.

Improve camera and movement system. I got so confused at first that the character was not moving the way I expected because camera was on a 45 degree angle of the movement

Keep making games!

A bit disorienting. I couldn't quite figure out how to even use the plant waterer.

this reminds me of a fever dream i once had. but on a more serious note, i really like the gameplay loop and the quick decision making between water, placing new flowers, placing mines, etc. that are needed to keep your garden alive. it was just difficult to play and frustrating at times due to the character controls, at least for myself. the graphics were cute.

Nice simple art style, charming retro/gamey sound fx (could use some mixing so levels are even), and cool gardening concept. Except I don't know the first thing about gardening so could've used buttom prompts and reminders during gameplay so I know what to do. A wall of text in the beginning is too much to digest or remember. Also, I wish the camera angle was less at an angle so that WASD maps out intuitively.
