It was hard for me to understand rules, but idea was pretty clever and implementation was very well made. Good job!

the drawings of the game are really nice, the idea of the game seems original and good for a gamejam but the tutorial was not enough for me to understand everything correctly

Relaxing game.  At first it was a bit confusing trying to figure out if there was a way you could influence the colors to try and 'collect them all' faster.  In the end, I think it was a random wait to get one of each color and popping the seed blooms just contributed to the 'score/counter'?

It was neat to see the seeds bounce around and sometimes burrow deep into the ground.

The art and music style set a very nice atmosphere.

That is sick! Great to see you finished it

Submitted

Nice idea and cute graphics.

Submitted

I did not really understand the control system. XD

Design, animations and sound were very good!
the game also fits  well into the theme!

Submitted

Super cute! My screen got filled with flowers so it got hard to combine what I wanted, but I enjoyed the whole time!

Submitted

Really cool idea. I enjoyed it a lot and the sound design, art, and gameplay all play into one another really well creating a fleshed out and polished game :). My only advice is that I would have preferred a bigger game window to be able to launch the seeds further. Other than that great work :)!

Developer

Thanks for the words!

Yea the game doesn't play that well on Itch i agree ;) I should look into how that works on itch.

Submitted

Nicely done! Not my type of game, but fits the theme.

Pretty relaxing and cozy game. The atrstyle, the music and the gameplay are really harmonizing.

I really love this art style and atmosphere. Great work.

Art is not bad, some outlines on flowers will look good. Good job m8.

Pretty cool, and fits the theme very well!

Great game, great art, great music. 

Submitted

Similar ideas to ours! This is a beautiful and relaxing play. Well done 

Developer

However you made such a more beautiful game ;)

Submitted

Really cool atmosphere, the art was beatiful, I think your take on the theme is really unique, but I just don't think it creates a very fun game(at least for me).

Developer

Thanks for your review :) Yes, i agree, as i focussed mostly on creating a somewhat polished and finished game over fun. Thanks for playin'
