I completed it pretty quickly so it was pretty easy but the levels were interesting and engaging. The controls were intuitive and it was easy to understand how to complete the game :) good job.

It adds such a charming and nostalgic touch to the gameplay. I do have a suggestion, though. Instead of a long press on the space key, I think it would be more user-friendly if you could implement a double-tap mechanic.

Too bad that there is no sound. \nSometimes the plants wouldnt detect my light and wouldnt grow and the jumping is a bit clunky. It was also anoying when I made a plant grow but didnt manage to jump on it, so I would have to wait a long time for it to come back down. Would be better if they grew only when you lit the light on them, so you could make them come back to you faster.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1025261,"author_name":"epb9000","author_uid":"epb9000","epoch":1697390990,"text":"I loved the overall mood of the game.
