A really fun and simple interpretation of the theme

My experience was "Easy, easy, easy, MEGA HARD". I was drowning that 3rd plant and he was still withering. Was a nice concept and a charming style to it. The details were nice, perhaps a bit monotone gameplay. Would love to see more bad stuff happen to the plant that I could fix.

Nice and simple. Dificulty scales well with next levels.

Things I enjoyed: Graphics, sound effects, relaxing gameplay, good interpretation of the theme.


Things I would have changed: Gameplay mechanics, there were basically just two types of clicks. Which is understandable for a LD entry, but maybe for the future reference it would be cool to add at least like four elements that you need to take care of.

Very relaxing game! :)
Only thing is I got the feeling the third plant was withering no matter how much water i gave it. :/

You stole my idea! :) Unfortunately the growing stages did not made it into the game. I like that you have different levels though! To nure two flowers at a time makes it definitely more challenging! The sound is also good, but some calm music would have been nice. And maybe some more love for the rain? Its not moving. But you know these things probably all anyway there was simply no time xD Thats why I did not had any growing stages in my final game. Thank your or sharing "Your Plant" with us :D

This was great. I thought it was gimmicky at first then you went and added different types of plants that all have different needs, THEN you go and start adding multiple plants. BRAVO!

A simple but fun interpretation of the theme! The graphics were charming as well. Having multiple plants to take care of simultaneously was a fun challenge. Good job!

I was a little bit bored at the first stages, but when I had to take care of two plants at once it instantly became much better and fun to play! Thank you for your work.

This was a very simple but still compelling spin on the idea!

Oh wow! a bit slow at first, but as soon as there were two plants at once the game really took off! Wonderfully done.

Great game !
fun simple concept, beautiful art, clear objective and difficulty increase. I like that the spider where on different part of the flower, and you have to click on it not somewher on the flower!
superb compo entry

Really fun game! Could've used music and maybe a little more animation, but I really enjoyed playing and was determined to finish it no matter how long it took, this is worth continuing to develop.

I really liked this one! Thought it was going to be a pretty simple game, but you mixed it up by adding a second plant! Having a third or fourth would have been even better, but as is I think you've made a really cool game! I liked the pixel art a lot as well, you did a good job with that.

I'll have to agree with the others here. This game is simple but good. It introduces its mechanics gradually, but builds on them until you have to work to win. Good job using a few assets to design a simple but engaging game!

As mentioned above, it would have been fun to see additional challenges to overcome (maybe something in the root system to maintain the nutrition source?). And of course, more types of plants would be cool too.

For the plants you had, each one seemed to have its own character. For instance, the cactus didn't really need that much water, but later plants just couldn't get enough. :slight_smile: Overall all, well done and thanks for sharing.
