Plants make people happy by yetanother
We (Laureline & Florian) made this little narrative/puzzle game about plants. It is inspired by our own experience with plants during the pandemic, the joy and the challenge they bring.
It is a relaxing and humoristic game, no reflexes needed and even if you fail the puzzle parts, you will get the full experience. You can get through it in less than 10 minutes.
This is a narrative game, so you need to read the text until the end to fully enjoy it (there is not much, fewer than 500 words, but it is important!). It is also the only way to understand the relationship with the theme!
We cannot compete on the graphic section as I modified some external vector assets, but you can still comment on the global style and the ambiance as I spend quite some time on it!
Florian coded this game entirely in JavaScript, with Phaser.
We hope you enjoy it!

Awesome music and visuals, good job!
The graphics, sounds and gameplay are super.
However, unfortunately, the theme of flowers is not close to me. I'm too "in the clouds" to care about flowers.
There is a great lack of explanation - which flowers are "friends" with which, otherwise it turns out that they have to be molded at random and look at emoticons.
And cactees are like in real live hard to maintain :)
Using emojis -a simple and easy way to convey which goes together with what.
Of course - if this was to be something you played longer or you added more complexity - it might good with some kind of description on things :smile:
Good job both of you :thumbsup_tone1:
The game felt very polished and the puzzle mechanics worked well too, some info on the plants would be nice like desert type plants work well with plant X, Y and Z for example, but the gameplay as it is, is very enjoyable! I really had a lot of fun playing this one, this is an amazing entry!
