The idea of acting only when your hands are free is just amazing. :smile: Good Job!

Nice little game. I thought you could take the keys just by overlapping them.

I assume you meant to include enemies, as I am wielding a sword but only use it to pick up keys and collect water. :smile: Within the confines of what the game turned out to be, the sword makes little sense, but I some understand how features don't make it to the final game.

The main concept of the game seems to be deciding when to drop the plant to interact with the world. That's a solid idea you can build something cool around, so props for that mechanic. Unfortunately, as things turned out, the tactical decision-making wasn't that important. I easily finished the game in one play-through with only dropping to around 25% water level.

I occasionally got stuck against walls while walking perpendicular to them.

The art is pretty simple, but things are clearly identifiable. I am not a big fan of the grey wall/orange floor color scheme with the occasional red rug. Figuring out a good color scheme would be my main critique. There's a little bit of non-uniform sprite scaling with the sword being HD but the rest of the game is scaled up.

The music is quite repetitive. It could have used some variation.

All in all I feel like I see and appreciate where you were going with this, and it's a shame you ran out of time to implement it all.

I thought that the water was going down to fast, but after all I managed to make it to the end.
