It was fun. I love the loading screen. After the game was over I thought about this. "Plants are very fragile things."
Good work!

This was stressful! I played on easy and still found myself struggling to keep up, thats not a bad thing though! I like the idea and I feel like it was well executed the graphics were very good too!

You definitely nailed how annoying it is to try and grow house plants. So damn needy hahaha![Won.JPG](///raw/76b/f1/z/31ff3.jpg)

The game sounds were impressive considering you made them all during the jam, probably what stands out the most to me. I think you did a really great job with the art! The game is pretty stressful but fun at the same time.

Really nice little game. I liked the fact you jump in straight away and it reflects the struggle of keeping plants alive in real life (mine are always dying lol).

Nice simple idea of plant caring, but even though I played on easy it was still pretty hard. Overall i really enjoyed this game!

You put me in a frantic state of taking care of these plants, great job! Just hypothetically, what if you paced out the different mechanics? What if the game started with one plant and then eventually you got a second that was farther away from it? What if you didn't start the game with a heater and got one installed later on? I don't know if it would make any sense in the game's world, but I think some pacing would add a lot to this game.

Why are my plants dying? Is that too much water? What more do you want from me? This hits too close to real life.

Manic. Good job making sure the player is doing something all the time! Really works well with the theme.

Very cool idea! I think you nailed the theme, and the graphics are simple yet convincing. I played the game on easy, but it was challenging nevertheless. The only negative point, in my humble opinion, is that the bcakground music is a bit annoying. Apart from that, great job!

I really enjoyed playing this game and it was far more challenging than I thought it would be. It is definitely one of these games that makes you wanna play it again and again. Very good job, guys. Cannot wait to see more of your work in the future! (Btw the blinds were simultaneously funny and annoying, almost raged near the end)
