Nice progression and atmosphere. However it lacked game play depth as most of was clicking and waiting. Good Luck!

This game has a great feel. The ambient sound is great and the art is beautiful. Are the plants based off real plants? I really enjoyed playing the game.

There is something about this game that is amazing! i was wowed by the graphics, the birds were amazing! i could not wait to see what plant was next, and same with the bird! you soooo need to make another version with more birds, more plants, and maybe animations for the birds and plants! GREAT JOB! i WILL play this again!

Nice ambientation. Zen gardering :). Could you please speed up the progression. I waited several minutes and I only saw two plants, no birds. :-(

Nice atmosphere!

My plants would often decay extremely quickly, too quick for me to save them sometimes :(
Other than that it was a nice, relaxing experience.

You should definitely keep working on this!

Simple, but very nice. I like the looks, the screenshot already seemed inviting, the game itself felt great as well.
The ambience sound is nice. Gameplay is generally well done.
I guess the surroundings could have been a bit more interactive or animated in some way, but since time is limited, I really do not expect that.
Brilliant entry!

Spent 5 minutes waiting for something to happen, but it never did.
