Very touching little tale. Nice way to take a calming, methodical puzzle game into a narrative.
A very touching tale! I also appreciate that you recognized those of us who maybe didn’t have the patience to get through all puzzles (definitely not me tho, ofc) by having the skip to next option, really helped to ensure I experienced the full extent of the story. Too bad about the bug, but having the gif there was a reasonable solution.
Love the puzzels! Took me a second to understand what to do but when I understood, it was a fun game and good story as well!
really nice story, great job :)
Amazing work with this!
The art, the colours, the cutscenes, the SFX and music! But most importantly the puzzle aspects and your choice to allow people to skip or retry. Genius way to not create any walls for players to be frustrated, rather, allowing us to move at our own pace and experience the story, or try to do better in another puzzle. Amazing work with the mechanics in the puzzles btw, felt so smart when I managed to git all the water in some (few) levels.
PS: this game made me thirsty now.
PS2: Thanks for providing the link to the final ending!
Glad you enjoyed! Puzzles games are definitely my favourite game to make, however difficult they often are to code. I personally always include a skip button because it’s important to me that whoever is playing gets the full experience.
I admire you have this rationale and you take steps towards this! I have so much to learn and so many things to account for. Congrats again!
The puzzle gameplay is really good. It made me feel so clever. At first I didnt understand how it worked, but once I got the realised it, were puzzles a lot of fun.
I love the puzzle aspect of this game, really well done and I like how the story worked well with it. Well done!
Really cute little story, the ending cutscene is beautiful. I must say you once again made me sad (but this time I expected it).
The puzzles are really interesting, but I am very bad at them so I appreciate the skip button. The minimalistic artstyle is great and the audio fits very well. Awesome entry!
it is so impressive how little pixels you really need to create a rich and atmospheric story!
I really enjoyed the puzzles. it is a very well integrated mechanics!!
This was really good! Clear story, simple but fun gameplay. Great job!
Thanks! The final cutscene was actually bugged :P but I put a link in the description with what it should look like and I'd appreciate if you could take a look as it it rather important.
Oh yeah wow. I thought the flower was being cut for something but knowing what really rounds out the story. Thanks!
the puzzles were really fun to solve and the story was told very well :)
The story unfolds really well through the cutscenes between levels and seeing someone caring for the plant initially, followed by a gradual decline adds a powerful layer to the gameplay. I think the game cleverly blends strategy with narrative and I really liked the later levels with the added obstacles
Glad you enjoyed it! The final cutscene turned out to be bugged so I put a link in the game description to what it's supposed to be like.
