I know that level 7 is way too hard, consider it as the boss level Good luck! :wink:

I know the game is very hard, and that can be either frustrating or funny, haha :smile:
Wow, super pretty and fun gameplay! Frustrating but not unfair. I lost count on the levels, but for some reason I didn't get scores for level 7? Also just noticed the instruction to play whichever level you want, that's very useful :D
Thanks for the bug report, I fixed the issue with getting the score of level 7!
But my lack of competence aside, I think the idea is nice and diabolical :wink:, and your level design is very good. There is a natural progression to the difficulty that feel good. Unique interpretation of the theme is very welcome. And I purely adored the music. I think I only kept trying for as long as I did because of the music. The colors are very good, as usual, and the art on the flowers is somehow hypnotic. Just... can't... look away.
It felt polished and quick to play! Nice level design.
It's so fun! I want to recommend it to my friends, don't let me suffer alone:D

@slay-a-stone Thank you for your kind words! Haha, as long as it's the good kind of frustrating I guess :wink: Maybe it's more fun when it's your own 'fault' than when the game is unfair? :thinking:
@nohopeoutthere I know it's slow to load and it doesn't show you anything. I spent quite some time on trying to get a loading screen to work, but that didn't work out... Thanks for being patient though! I guess I like making games that look easy but are quite hard haha :sweat_smile:
@kaspjej Indeed, you have to get used to the controls. Thanks for playing and commenting! :smile:
Edit: also tested in Firefox now on my work laptop, and it seems to work there. But I can imagine it doesn't work on macs, since that happened before with a Godot game of mine...
