Looks Great! But I didn't really know what to do and what the water + fertilizer sliders did.

Great entry! The graphics and UI were on point, and everything felt really intuitive and responsive.

There was a variety of characters and plant types, which was nice. It was good that you were given some hints through the letters, or just from intuition (algae is probably going to want a lot of water, for instance).

The music was pleasant but got a little repetitive, especially since the game is slow-paced.

Great work for 72 hours and kudos to the whole team!

It felt so soothing to play this game. I found it fun that I tried to keep alive the plants of a drug dealer.

As a team you did an excellent job in putting up this game to work in 72 hours. The graphics are pretty interesting, they remind me of 2000's PC games. At one point it did feel a bit repetitive and I kind of got a bit bored. Specially since the witch kept coming back everyday with the same plant. I don't know if this was intentional, but maybe make it a day or so without new plants.

Overall, a pretty soothing experience. You're all very talented!

very complete and complex game very fun and entertaining
I found myself absorbed in the universe between the graphics corresponding to the music and the concept of the game and all the strategy that is in The Grand Plant Hotel.
I love this game.

Art style is great. Everything looks awesome. Super chill and relaxing. It's a little confusing. The only plants I could keep alive for the first several days were the aloe vera's. Still not certain but I think the sliders are guides on how to water and feed each plant. After I figured that out I was keeping most plants alive. The hippie absolutely hated me in the end but the witch thought I was pretty cool. Awesome job!

Very relaxing game, really enjoyable. I liked how you need to guess what the plants need by reading the notes.

I really loved the concept of the game, but I find it quite stingy with informations. I would have liked a little more time to adjust what my plants need. As a plant lover, I don't have any realistic indication of what they need, and the feedback is very discreet (except of the fact that the plant dies or is happy). For example, in real life some plants don't like to be watered too often, however in this game I have the impression that I have to use a minimum amount of water to make them happy, so I choose my actions in a random way.
Apart from that, the concept is really good, the graphics are superb, the atmosphere is really pleasant and it's easy to handle. With a little bit of corrections and balancing, it's a game I'll play with pleasure.

Cute game! It was a little difficult for me to figure out all the systems in place. Great graphics. Music could use some work. Nice job everyone :)
