You are a beautiful flower, high in demand...

You need coins for water, so you grow little offshoots. Cut these small flowers off yourself to sell for coins on the market.

I streamed the development of the game over at my Twitch channel: topbraj

Great game! I was disappointed to find the coins capped at 99 because I wanted to build my fortune

This was fun! It kind of scratches my _Offworld Trading Company_ itch in a smaller, prettier package.

Simple to grasp, challenging to play, as it is more and more captivating and demanding! :D I really enjoyed it!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I read that I was a beautiful flower, but you've created a pretty addictive experience here. A fantastic use of theme and very well executed. The visuals are simple, but clear and to the point. The music was soothing and the sound effects appropriate (I like the "not enough funds" sound). My only issue is I had some problems with the UI of selecting the color I wanted (I had to click more than twice sometimes). Overall, great job!

I just about died laughing when I heard your NEH ER sound effect! However, the game is really chill and lovely. :)

Very nice work on this. It was somehow relaxing but also stressful trying to find the right balance :D I really loved the sound when you don't have enough coins :D

This is one of the smartest LD games I've played. Managing your flower's water level and the timing of cutting off smaller flowers all while trying to grow your flower can get pretty hectic. Once I started anticipating price fluctuations better I was able to reach 99 coins. I do wish the money cap was higher because getting just a few flowers at 15 - 20 coins can quickly max you out. But I could also see how a bigger wallet might make the game a little too easy.
The graphics and music are great, and they do a great job of adding some calm to the chaos.
Really great job - I enjoyed this a ton!

Great game which works very well with the theme :) The ambiance is very relaxing, so it would be a great casual game for mobile. The music fits perfectly.

It would be good to have more feedback as to the price of the flowers going up or down, like an arrow just next to the figure so that you could predict which flower was going to be more expensive at a glance. Maybe a water upgrade also, so that you can start watering the flower in batches of 20 or 50 as your flower grows :)
