Very nice take on the theme! I couldn't stop laughing at the idea of diving in front of a moving cactus to save someone. That's just so silly, I love it!

Nice game! Like the way you introduced the mechanics, didn't get on why the cactus just flies at the other person tho. Nonetheless, still a nice game!

Very nice game. Ended up laughing when the lady got sent to space. The graphics were nice and music was good too.

So, this was a great game. Loved the innovation with the puzzles. Thought the premise was interesting, and the catci were an interesting twist. Would have loved to play more levels, but realize that's the issue with time. Awesome work.

Short, but nice. I thought the girl was my girlfriend who just had a big argument with me before reading the description.

I really liked this! Your presentation is really good, the way the tutorial at the beginning is shown, the rotating text, it was very easy to understand and felt enjoyable the whole way through. Those cacti...

Enjoyable game. Who is pricklier, the girl or the cactus?

Very polished and fulfilling entry to the comp. I hope you will continue to develop this game; a venus flytrap in a later level perhaps?

Really nice game. I enjoyed it a lot. I liked how polished it was, felt like a real game. The music fit well and I like the art. Controlled great! Blocking the cactus felt good! Great work!

Nice short game!
I think the only thing I really have to delay is the cactus. Other things don't seem to matter.

Short but decent game! Impressive to see all the effects and puzzles works well in 48 hours! Nice Job!

This was so cute!! I love the art, the music was perfect, and the ending was cute :blush: Not to mention the puzzles were perfectly ramping up in difficulty! I would love some more of this, to be honest. I want to know more about these characters and why the cactuses are so evil :P Awesome work!!

Nice game, itd little bit short, would like to have more levels and more challnge as currently its very easy.
Mechanics are introduced in nice way tho.

Very smart and cute puzzle game. The first thing I tried was letting go of the button as soon as she stepped in the doorway and I'm really glad you assumed I would and accounted for it. It doesn't quite hit the theme for me, but everything else was awesome.

Excellent puzzle game with a nice dash of humour. The only thing lacking was more levels. I could've spent ages playing this. Well done!

I really like it. I like the way the cacti work and its funny how the character goes flying if you step off the button at the right time.

Cute game! I love the art, I like to imagine I'm trying to hold the door open for my wife and she didn't sleep well the night before so she just wants to get to bed. And then a cactus runs into her. Great game, had a lot of fun, short and sweet!

I really liked this game from the graphics, sound to the mechanics! Awesome entry. I would love to see this expanded and have harder levels. Great job in the time!

Interesting mechanic for a puzzle game, doesn't make a lot of sense thematically with sliding cacti though. Would have loved more levels but I guess that's too much to ask for in a compo game.

Game was smooth and enjoyable to play. Theme isn't present but I can see how it might have worked with more levels. The cactus I found very funny :D

A smooth, funny game! It was really funny when you would let go of the door when she was going through it and she would go flying 😂

Pretty unique game!

Music and the art was great.

Fun little game. Plays very well. Fitting music. Cool puzzler. But as presented here doesn't really fit the theme. For that it would have to became impossible at some point. But it remains pretty easy until the end. Maybe in a post jam update it will become more difficult? ;-)
Anyway great entry. Keep it up.

Short but sweet! Quite polished as well, it has everything and the only thing missing is more content :D good job!

Smooth game! I would have loved more levels. Also sometimes it just feels a little bit laggish (the web version).
Awesome entry for a compo game!

I liked it! It was a wee bit too short in my opinion, but while I was playing it, I was having a blast (XD)!

Great tutorial, that's rare in jam games but absolutely appreciated! The game is fun and well made, I don't quite get how it fits the theme but I like it, nice job!

Nice puzzles and polished art + audio. In one of the later rooms with cacti, the first one always seemed to miss, so I never needed to stop it. Good work overall though!

This feels really polished. The music and sound design is very nice. The character feels nice to control, the puzzle design is good, and the graphics are solid. My only criticism is that the game is a bit short. Good job!

Wow, everything in this game fits together so well! The graphics are cute and charming, the movements and sounds are juicy, and the controls are responsive. I like everything except for the fact that it I wish it was just a bit longer! The length is understandable though, given how polished the rest is. Congrats on a very good compo entry! One of my favs this LD!

The gameplay is intuitive and the art has a mood, but the real stand out for me is the music. It’s grooving.

The first time I stepped off the pressure plate too soon had me laughing; seeing her launch off into the stratosphere just got to me.

Wow, although this game is more of a tech demo or tutorial coarse, the overall presentation has this magnificient groove to it. The amazing combination of music and visual style!

A bit short, but very well polished! I loved the graphics and the audio, and the tutorial did an excellent job of explaining how to play.
