It was a good game, i had quite some fun playing it ! I really liked the art and music, it really gives a cozy atmosphere.

One thing i would say is just that the poping hints are super frustrating. I mean, maybe you should try to put all hints at once instead of permanently interrupting the player while playing. It is just my opinion ;)

Despite that, this is a good work !

Things happened way too fast for me.  Just wanted to fly around and before I knew it, birds ate my plants and I was being rained on.  Would like to see some of those events spaced out a bit if possible.  Reduce frequency of tutorial boxes.  Felt a tad overwhelming at first

Aside from that, this is a rock solid game.  Technically, everything worked really well

This was a pretty awesome submission, I had a lot of fun playing the game and actually felt I was getting better at it after a while, which was super cool :)

A really neat idea and the game looks great! I was a bit too tired and impatient for the gameplay loop, but that's more on me than anything. Keep up the good work!

Really solid game design - it's very fun and original! I would've loved to get much more time between tutorial dialogue boxes in order to practice the thing I had just been taught.

Very neat and engaging! I can't wait to see it with the more long-form tutorial :)

I love the way the bee moves and this effect while moving!

The presentation is really good. It is impressive that you have managed to fit so many mechanics into the game, but they are presented to the player in a manner that is quite overwhelming. I think if you made like a tutorial stage where each thing can be slowly introduced individually it would be easier to understand. This would have taken a lot more design, though, so it is understandable that it works the way it does. Great game!

Thank you! I completely agree but I just didnt have the time to make a decent tutorial :(

This idea looks very neat. And the bee is very cute :) I think its just a little too complicated. I did not feel like I grasped all I could do.

It definitely takes some time to understand completely, which i realize now isnt great for a game jam. Thanks for trying it out though!

Interesting game. Took me a bit to get into since there was so much information at the start but it started to be enjoyable once I figured most of it out.

There were a couple things I couldn't figure out, like why I couldn't plant certain seeds (I think it was the blueberry bush seed?) and why I didn't seem to ever be getting the cover plant seeds from the wind -- do those only come from pollinating the starting cover plant?

Developer(+1)

Yeah given more time I would have made a better tutorial :/

Some seed take three spaces, the umbrella palm seed is more rare, the idea is you pollinate it to keep it.

Thanks for trying it out!
