Maybe a little bit repetitive.
But a solid entry. Congrats
I got 27 breaths and 183 pollen.
My only critique would be that the shop isn't the best defined to tell us that we can use the top of the sign instead of the bottom - I had to restart a couple times cause I thought I had to hit the shopkeep and then I got eaten. =( Alternatively, just making the shop a safe zone or raising the shop could be a huge help to silly folks like me.
Either way, I loved the game, a bit of calm that I needed today - thank you. =D
I like how you just start playing and there is no menu or anything and it feels very natural for this game.
Only thing I would add is a gentle breath sound when the breath happens.
Good job!
1. had a hard time understanding the breathing timing so sometimes it felt like too much or not conveyed enough
2. shop balancing didn't work for me, had to skip it several times because of the pricing
