i love it!
Amazing! I didn't know I could enjoy this type of game but I'm hooked. Definitely worth continuing and adding to. Maybe more plants or mechanics? Maybe diseases? Who knows, but it's all excellent, great job!
😊
I was content with it but I don't think my partner is going to let me get away with it so we'll probably polish it up a bit more and add some more mechanics we wanted and release it somewhere for a smalllll fee.
This game was great! The graphics are amazing. The way the branches physically interact with each other makes it feel like a real plant is growing. I've never seen this concept done in any form before -- Spore is the closest game conceptually that I can think of. Kudos to you for making such a cool and polished game, especially given the time constraints!
Really nice game, that feels good to play, and shows a lot of potential as a game that I could see many getting sucked into!
There's definitely things that *I personally* would love to see added to the game (like some kind of "forecast" / timeline / clock), and it would be nice if the game taught the player how to start the initial gameplay loop, because it's not immediately clear what all the player should be aiming to do. That being said, I can see these as being things that may not be desirable in the vision for the game, and the existing idea is really solid!
Thanks for the feedback and ideas. I kinda thought figuring out how to plant would be part of the fun, and adding an impossible to miss height meter would give you all the incentive you need to grow tall. But you're not the only one to mention being confused in the start, so either I was wrong or we didn't manage to make discovering plantery as fun as we thought. Still, most people seem to get it eventually and enjoy growing their plant, so I think that's good.
Cute visuals and it can easily become one of those comfort games if you need to relax. I just wish there was some sort of tutorial or introduction to better let me know what to do (I kept pressing stuff and had some guesses, but it would be good to understand what I could do a better). Cute game, tho
Plants don't get tutorials, Jerry.
Basic Physics of the Game is good But I didn't understand the main concept
The concept is plant.
NOO MY WALTHER PASSED AWAY AT JUST 2.2 METERS OLD :'(
R.I.P. Walther. you'll be remembered fondly
F 😔
Very well polished game :)
I don't quite understand how the fruit helps or how the strengthening physically works to support the plant, but great job in 48 hours
I really like the way this game is going, keep it up!
Very cool idea, and amazing graphics for the short time you had!
Love the little newspaper clippings!
Definitely worth fleshing out!
Amazing game, very relaxing and very taxing. If I had to complain about is that the farmer happiness decreasing seems arbitrary and the growing muscle icon does not explain how it will help stabilize the plant. aside from that very good, it totally feels like a 5 dollar game on steam. Very well done
Yeah I think we liked the mix of relaxing and chaos. I guess it's arbitrary but it had to get harder somehow. I think the farmer just expects more of you over time. Fair enough with the muscle icon, but it should be pretty self explanatory after you use it once and see the plant engirthen.
Thanks for playing and giving feedback!
You have made a rather fun game and made it visually and musically appealing from a rather simple idea. Well Done!
My plant will never die.
This is my favorite game from the jam yet. 11/10. Loved the visuals, music and the scenery.
I think I played for about 30 minutes.
came back the next day...
This is my new score:
Fun game and I like the newspaper articles that appear
This is a delightful plant-em up, please add the high score board post-jam so I can know how bad I am!
Turns out, I'm really good at being a plant. Ha! Great work!!
🤘
This idea is so unique, Great job !
I don't have the skill required to be a plant :c
you did good, plant. You did good.
What a great game and idea. I can't believe you were able to do that in 48 hours well done :)
I really like the concept and had a lot of fun playing the game !The game had a perfect idea and well executed, nice art and nice gameplay Idea ! :D good job !
