I don't have anything to add on the game itself, especially since it seems like the other commenters are more into this type of thing than me. However, I would recommend in general when using Unity that you post a downloadable version as an alternative to any web version. I had multiple issues that seem to be related to my computer just not being very good, and such issues are usually worse in a browser.

In case I'm wrong about the cause, the issues were as follows: 1. the game didn't seem to go beyond the instructions screen on the first try. On reloading though, it appears that it was just having trouble loading. I've noticed unity games sometimes take a huge time to load on one try and then no time at all on a second try, which worries me to no end for technical reasons. 2.  the plants were refusing to grow at all, even after minutes of watering. The issue went away after pausing and scrolling around the page, though, so I think the game just was having trouble loading the models.

If no one else complains about these issues and you can't think of any reason for them, I wouldn't worry about them.

Sorry you were having trouble!  I'm not sure why these problems occurred, I will for sure add a downloadable on the game's page, along with adding one on future games.  As for the technical issues in game I'm not sure what could be causing them.  Sorry again and thanks for giving it a shot!

I absolutely loved it! So satisfying, and turned out to be a bit of a treasure hunt as plants first forms were small. With new  environments to explore, and new plants, I would definitely buy this game!

Small bug, the two rocks near the house can be walked through.

Glad you enjoyed it! Oh didn’t even realize thank you, I’ll have to fix it that!

Simple and relaxing game. The art style is on point!! What did you use for the 3D models.

there was a unity asset pack bundle that i had to buy!! other than the watering can and the water particle that waters,  all the art is from synty studios on unity. It’s  great low poly art! wish i had more time to work on ui and design!! Thank you very much for enjoying it either way!

If it was, lets say a week long game jam, i wouldve had it done by today, spent the next 3-4 days designing maybe 2-3 full levels with many "plants" to water. Again for all the plants/hedge border/ and any 3d models (apart from the watering can and and the water particles), all Synty studios a great company with incredible art!

Good to know, yeah maybe for next jam I'll try using a 3D asset pack too. It will be a great way to learn to do gameplay programming in 3D :)

Being new to game dev/ game design their packs seem expensive to me, however, I feel as if i got lucky buying a pack that had a whole bunch of separate genres of game.  Either way, I thought they were awesome, as no matter what "time-period" the pack was from, it would match with any other packs from the artist!

The game doesn't seem to load up, not sure if it's just me.
