I downloaded the exe version, and it ran fine for me. The browser version never loaded. 

I really like this idea! I like the flower breeding mechanic. I think 4 days for the seeds to grow is a bit long for the starter flowers, but other than that you have a good foundation here. Polishing the UI would add a lot to this. The color palette is really dull and is not visually appealing. 

I would like to see more flowers and features in the future! Hope there's an update. Good work. :)

thank you! Yeah I might need to adjust the growth time a bit. I find the UI a bit difficult to manage, I want to put some more work into that.

Good luck!! :)

Sorry, but it’s broken for me. Can’t open it.

I retried, it’s working as download now. The mechanic is pretty interesting, I think you could really do something great on this base! I love planting games, so, I’d love to see you continue to work on this.

I'm sorry to say the browser and exe versions both wouldn't run for me. (Just to be clear, I did extract the exe from the zip.) Feel free to let me know if you reupload it!

Hi, sorry, I reuploaded. I only zipped the exe when I should have zipped the whole folder with the dll. I think I was kind of flustered over the WebGL thing and forgot I needed to zip the whole folder for the desktop build :/

No worries! I like it, the plant breeding is fun. My only suggestion is I think watering takes too long. I like the water effect though, and it's fun overall!

Thank you! Ah yeah I wasn't sure about the watering speed, I can tweak that.
