Interesting interpretation one the concept.
I might've found a couple bugs, I stopped growing at level 10 and there was no endgame event. The snow cloud got stuck on the left side of the screen so I didn't have to deal with it at all after about level 3.
Will update profile!
So maybe a short tutorial at the biginning that points to the bars and explains them would be good, alongside an introduction to the snow cloud on level 2 that gets increasingly aggresssive as the game pans out.
My snow cloud got stuck on the right side of the screen after level 3, so it was smooth sailing for me! haha
Anyway, great game, very enjoyable!
Nice work this jam!

Nice interpretation of the theme and congrats on the entry!
I first stayed in the rain as much as possible and couldn't grow except the first time. Then I tried just avoiding the snow and eventually just died when I accidentally touched it. I think the commands as they are needed first time help a lot, but maybe something more to explain when the timing is right, like a meter or an indicator would help.
Otherwise, I think I kind of figured it out, but couldn't get past the phase where I was gaining/losing petals frequently. I think it just became too hard at that point and the erratic behavior of the rain and snow made it too hard to progress past it.
