I like the idea and the graphics. Lets see if i get a flower.
Reminds me of the old Windows overlay games where you kept a virtual pet

music guy does not want to be muted
The audio was quite something. I think I heard a super high pitched voice cut through the music, if ever so subtly. It was kind of grating, and I'm not really sure if that's intentional. Looking at these previous comments, if it's supposed to be screaming, that's actually kind of terrifying. :rofl: But that aside, the track that plays during the game is also happy and it makes me feel happy, too. I like the subtle voices - at least I think there were subtle vocals aside from the super high pitched one. I almost felt bad for turning off the music for a bit because the music note looked so sad under the :no_entry_sign: .
So yeah, the game did what it was supposed to do and I was glad to see my flower grow after I left my computer for a while. Nice job.
thinks going slow in here =)
I think a note that the game pauses if you switch tabs or minimize the window would be welcome.
The graphics and sound were perfect, and the fact that flowers could be saved and loaded is a nice addition. Maybe expanse-wise an entire garden within the game would be fun?
It's a shame a lot of the assets are wasted by being encouraged to walk away and not participate.
Also, the fact that it doesn't run in the background is a real damper, given that it's sort of the point of the game.
Still though, adorable!
At least we can test your game and other games at the same time, thanks for that haha :)


my garden :3
