Very good. Hit boxs are a little to tight where the object has to be right on the end of the stick. Good job.

It's so minimalist, but everything fits together really well. It's kinda meditative to wait next to a plant and wait for an opening to poke it.

Really cute game, the mood is so on point!
I initially though "how what a shame there is now challenge" and after continue playing the challenge was unexepected and was pretty fun and inovative!
Congrats! But the mood tho..5 stars

Cute music and design i'm agree! Sometimes when you are in front of a flower, you can see the sprite through the character, but it's a detail. Good job! ​

This was really cute! Loved the graphics and the jingle too, really nice. Like another commenter said the hitbox was a little hard to grasp which led to some frustrating moments, but it was still a really relaxing and soothing experience. It felt like a massage for my brain after playing a bunch of games today. Thank you for sharing, one of my favorites so far for sure!

Cute game! Simple machenics but good fun! Love the graphics!

There can be many fun twists on this game's rule and make next levels. I wonder how it will be like if the waken plants can interact with each other or change the map or some of the plants having collision, and how the mage can influence the plants and the map in different ways.

133 seconds to clock, damn that was good.

My wife called out from another room "I love that music"

Esthetics/music/mood are amazing. The game mechanics are quite simple, though it is difficult to beat! The game is carefuly well polished and overall it was a very good experience! Excellent !

Surprisingly entertaining game filled with chaos. Very satisfying to get them all running around :D

Simple and entertaining, altough hitting things was kind of difficult as you had to manouver to left or right side of them.

Good game! Simple mechanics, but the "chaotic" field when you progress makes a good challenge!

As some of the other have mentioned, I had a bit of a problem with the hitboxes, but overall it didn't take away from the value of the game, thank you for it!:) Great atmosphere!

Absolutely gorgeous. I love the art, and the music was perfect for the vibe (though a little louder than I was expecting!)

Had a great time and genuinely felt a sense of accomplishment once I got them all.

Good luck in the compo!

Nice game. Sometimes the plants appear on top of another one making it more hard to find them.

Cute little game! It wasn't until about 4 plants in that I realized it was going to be harder than I originally thought to win. Great execution!

It took me 131 seconds. I'm in love with the minimalistic graphics, the game is simple but works really well. I also like that it's not stressful. Great job!
