I managed to become the king of all plants.  I really love the audio and art and visuals tying it all together, nice job, team!  Took me forever to get a Gemelon, I guess because things kept getting cross-pollinated from whatever I had just harvested or something, I managed to miss that particular combo twice (but concluded from how the Hattermelon was made, that it _had_ to be that combo, so tried it a 3rd time and it worked ^_^).

It's been lovely sharing all your feedback with Tom! Really showing what a great community LD has and what LD is all about :D\n\nTom drew a little basket for the bee to carry that I didn't have time to put in, but that could have been a good way to show the pollen the bee was carrying, since it's all guesswork otherwise ;)  \n\nIf anyone does want to see the ending - in the build on the itch.io page I made a few more combos work to get the special plants. The bee pollenates in the order plants fruit, so if you get the special seeds, best to wait until nothing else is growing to plant them both so you can get the ending one.\n\nWhen we put it in it felt like a bit of a hidden secret though, and the real goal is just making a nice garden to hang out in ha ha.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":921655,"author_name":"amarokczukay","author_uid":"amarokczukay","epoch":1673737120,"text":"this is a really adorable game, i LOVE the style i mean children's drawing are always soooo good, plants are perfect, the idea is nice, sounds are incredible. great job to both of you!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":922636,"author_name":"TRSTHSTRS","author_uid":"trsthstrs","epoch":1673802311,"text":"Oh!
