made by LdAuch for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

Ever caught a heat wave in Winter and thought "Wow, that's weird"? Welcome to Andlaucia, which prides itself in its extremely unstable (and unreliable) weather. From all places, you've chosen to sell flowers here... if you manage to keep them alive, that is.

The pixel art is beautiful and I love the music! The gameplay's fun and easy to pick up, and overall the level of polish is just amazing for a jam game.

Keeping real plants alive is hard enough :sweat_smile:

Really nice game. It seems to be too hard though, the first run feeled quite impossible, if the sun is shining the pots barely get any water. The grafic style is really nice though. Really small caveat: clocks usually pad the seconds with zeros to fill to spaces. But that is really neglectable if you look how polished the rest of the game is

The art style, music changes and mood was really really good.
But i think the game is too hard. I did not manage to get over 1 minute, everything died too fast :(
Is there a possibility to restart?
It was soothing to watch the weather changing. Loved it
With some balancing, this is a cool game!

Cool game. Love the graphics. It was a bit too hard and the lightning was not projected enough i think. But all in all well done :gem:

Замечательный симулятор жены, желающей садить цветочки. Правда, орхидеи тут ни к чему - слишком нежные для нашего сурового климата. Спасибо!

Nice game idea! Was fun to juggle the plants between spots, though I could only ever keep 3 alive at most! Good entry!

Fun game, reminded me of GBA games. You managed to convey the difficulty of caring for plants in the real world.

Neat little game, the art and music are fantastic. Like others have said quite difficult - I totally messed up my first day and had to wait out the clock without and plants (I'd suggest maybe adding a way to skip to the end of the day if all your plants die?)
