:sunflower:It's a really cozy game and I enjoy seeing my plants growing up in the glass with the chill music there. The music and the graphics work really well and cohesively that I feel relaxed when I played it. I've had a little dream of owning a small glass filled with lush plants in my room, but I haven't tried because I was worried that I couldn't take care of the plants. But here, in this virtual cozy world, I finally have my own little plant bottle :D

A very beautiful and relaxing game. Music in the background is soothing. It's interesting to watch the plants grow in stages in this little jar.

Cozy and relaxing game! It wasn't quite simple to drag seeds, cause sometimes I dragged but there was no seed in the hand. Also I didn't quite understand if the worms helped me or were eating the plants. But in general I liked the game and art and music. Congrats!

Cozy little game. I had fun playing it completely wrong and filling the terrarium with snails and worms :3

It is indeed cozy! I enjoyed the music, and I wish it evolved to the later part with more instruments sooner! Most of the seed options weren't working for me, so I just used the random box and that was a cool choice to have. It's interesting that plants grow and die endlessly, but maybe that's unintentional? I couldn't get any new bugs from the jar - they kept falling right down on to the seed bar for some reason. It's a relaxing time nonetheless and I'd like to see a new version of this someday.

Very cozy indeed! The music, the colors and the general atmosphere of relaxation - all go very well together.

I think I encountered some bugs. I could not really drag anything out of the insect jar (I could click and release the insect, but not drag it). It was the same with the red-green and blue seeds - could not drag those at all, those areas produced no seeds. I restarted 3 times, it didn't help.

Would be nice to have some more in-game information. Maybe some tooltips on mouse-over about what each seed is/how it interacts with outer seeds and/or bugs. However, that would probably make it more into a terrarium strategy game than a meditative experience it is now.

Nice work!

very cute game! sometimes while trying to drag seeds into the terrarium it would scroll up and down the screen instead. Aside from that i enjoyed it and it was well executed!

Cute! I wish the plants stuck around a bit longer after they were done going, but I appreciated the calm vibes of the game.

This game gave me very nice vibes, even though most of the playthroughs that I did were extremely wrong :smile: I really loved the relaxing music and the beautiful and very carefully implemented graphics! Good job my friends and keep up!

pleasant experience. On fullscreen web, the panning is a bit annoying, since it gets in the way of picking seeds.
