Great game and art style ! Though, something made me confused : I have the impression my cactus disappears when I take damage from insects and it happened few times.

Really great art style! I really liked that you are not trying to protect yourself but instead you are protecting the cactus inside the pot. With some level design it can easily become a very good puzzle platformer! And a cute one :D

Lampion CorpsesGreat art/sound design/vibe! I like how you're protecting something else (when so many games out there are about smashing or shooting stuff :P). Well done!

Sorcerer SiegeCute game! Took me a while to understand the mechanics, even with the help page lol. Nice hand-drawn graphics. Side note, I didn't know that water hurts cacti.

Meet Her ThereThe art and game feel are so great it could've been in a full-release game. The gameplay isn't something too special, but for it being a game jam, it gets a pass for the amazing art style.
The only bad thing I can say is that I got a bug where the cactus was invisible, but it was still appearing like it was on my body, giving me the ability to not die for letting the cactus in the rain. That's all I can say but maybe now you can rate and give feedback on my game entry?

Byte DefenderAbsolutely Loved my playthrough of the game and protecting my little cactus from the rain.
The art is just amazing and is completely what i look for in games i play.
Id love to see the game have a win condition so it has some sort of end goal, but it is a game jam and i know time is limited, so i understand why there isn't.
Overall this was just a fun little experience and i really enjoyed it.

The Reapers GardenI love this art style and the audio is really good, the only nitpick I have is that the "how to play" screen was super cluttered and I wasn't able to understand all of it, which hindered my gameplay experience. That aside though, I loved watching this develop as it was shown in the discord & even if my personal experience with this game was short, I still loved it. Well done!

GAUDETEI loved seeing the progress that you posted in the discord! the hand drawn art is awesome and the overall vibes work super well. I would love to see a win condition or something though, so that the player has a goal to work towards.
