  • Best artstyle and character design in the jam for me so far. Unfortunately, the gameplay is too unfocused in my opinion, and thus unsatisfying. The tutorial was simple and straightforward, but beyond that, the lack fo UI elements, even for basic QoA stuff (volume, resolution) made it frustrating to play.

The bright and unique art  and nice animation definitely stands out in this jam. I think there's a lot of interesting things with the concept. One of the characters kept giving me more seeds which was nice, but may have been a bug  :P I do wish there was a run button for going back and clearing bits a might have missed. Nice work!

Great character designs. The vibrant colors on the black background look absolutely psychedelic. The music is also very cool. The sound effects are serviceable, although the fart sound got a little old after a few minutes. :)

Finding the dragons was fun!

One high-level observation: the vibe didn't feel as much like a farming game as much as it felt like a "cleaning up" game (e.g., Super Mario Sunshine). This is probably because I wasn't planting seeds in order to harvest the crops, but rather for the secondary effect of the plant growth (eliminating the surrounding muck).

I love this entry! It is a fun game and you could definitely expand it into a puzzle game to get from a to b by clearing paths with plants. I found an issue where when you are holding a seed you can still click grow, and I think it should be one or the other. Either way, I love the art and the mechanics. Keep it up!

Hehe farts. Oddly satisfying like popping bubble wraps.

Really fun game. The art and music are amazing. The mechanic of clean muck with plant is genius and really enjoyable. However the slow walking speed was annoying when trying to find all three dragons.  Also the fire plant was a bit under powered compare to the earth and water seeds, but beside that the game is great. Keep up the good work!

Really enjoyed the art and the core idea. I think cleaning based games are super fun!
