I like the concept. Great job. Is there a way to actually finish the game? Or is it purely a high score based game?

Wow, this game is 250MB? It looks like you made the love file with the .git folder included.

Regardless, I have the same question; can you finish the game? Nice job!

We probably should've mentioned, but yes, there is indeed no end. You're stuck here forever!

As for the .git file, seems like I messed up indeed. Uploading a new version as I'm typing this. Thanks for the heads up!

Simple idea, but with a lot of funny stuff thrown in. Gets challenging, as tempo increases. Area on sides of conveyor is a bit empty, could use some more (perhaps humorous?) objects to liven up an environment.

I hate the audio in the Main Menu but the rest is great.

I like this game! It feels very Ludum Darish! :-) Humorous, retro graphics, 8bit music, simple gameplay. Actually this is one of the best game I've seen this jam, it feels really good. :-)

I like the main idea but if you could develop it by adding movement and different levels you could make it more interesting.

I like the typical ludum dare style in it.

Unfortunately it did not register all keypresses (Linux build), but it looks like it would be a lot of fun.

Mac build does not work for me:

LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Users/kjhoulihan/Downloads/gcye.app.

Hard controls, in my opinion. But I enjoyed the idea, of the gameplay and the story.

On the simple side, for sure. I counted about 20 waters, but I wasn't sure if the game had an ending to it or not. The music was catchy though!

Fun game, love the music especially. The only criticism I have is that there is no visual feedback of the plant growing after the first few doses of water, but maybe that can't be helped.
