The background art is beautiful, but blurred enough to not be distracting.  It was occasionally frustrating when a flower would pop up, open, and promptly close again right from under my sprite.  I like that it happened, it just seemed to happen a bit much.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But as I said, overall very good."},{"author_name":"matheus23","author_uid":"10728","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 6:47pm","epoch":1335206520,"text":"Fun game, amazing graphics and never ever seen gameplay idea :P finally something, which I have never seen in any other game."},{"author_name":"Hume","author_uid":"11218","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 6:48pm","epoch":1335206580,"text":"Simple. Beautiful. Beautifully executed. Controls are great. Mood is perfect. Multiple &quot;sprite&quot; sprites is a good touch. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Like a lot of games with edges, I had issues with my sprites being hit by flies before I could react. This is not unique to your game. I just need to learn to keep my sprites away from the edge.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>More of this. More from you. Please. :)"},{"author_name":"lasseastrup","author_uid":"7536","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 6:48pm","epoch":1335206580,"text":"I really liked it.

Just need to change the starting and finishing clicks into gestures. =)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Very nice artwork, animation, sound, and music. All the assets are splendid. The gameplay was definitely challenging on a trackpad. Some of those little sprites just came rocketing down from the sky, and juggling a half dozen was fine until a flower closed or a bug came flying through. Nice mix of plausible elements.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It'd be nice if flowers didn't close when a sprite was in proximity, kind of like how a Piranha Plant will stop coming out of a pipe if Mario's standing next to it."},{"author_name":"schattenkind.net","author_uid":"13106","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 9:28am","epoch":1335345780,"text":"Relaxing game.
