A super unique idea. Lot's of fun!
This is really brilliant! Fantastic minimalist puzzle design, and the scale takes off so quickly. Really great job :)
This is a really cool puzzle idea. And the aesthetic is nice too. Reminds me of recursive programming.
Nice job! And good luck. Nice to see more games about plants :)
The style is great, and the puzzle-solving method is very unique
Nice game! The puzzles were definitely a bit tricky once additional seeds were introduced. Overall I thought it was pretty charming and cozy
Lovely cosy art and music, and a very clever programming-puzzle mechanic with some suprisingly fiendish puzzles to go with it. I would have liked a way to differentiate which tiles had been placed by which seeds after the animation finishes, to make it easier to review where I went wrong on my failed attempts. Perhaps changing the types of plants grown from each seed would be a way to do this while sticking to your theme and art style?
How dare you make me into a wonderful puzzler game about growing a garden that has melted my pixelated heart! I will have to unleash 15 stars upon you! Muahahahaha!
When that second seed popped up it blew the game wide open. I got about halfway. I'm glad you had the video so I could see the rest!
Really good but I keep getting stuck on the fork level I can't seem to do it from the middle fork at the bottom
there is a solution video on the itch page if you get stuck but still want to play the rest of the levels : )
Just like actual gardening. Cozy, relaxing and surprisingly hard. Love it!
that was a really nice concept, well executed , and the puzzles are great too!
one of my favorite games of the jam ive played! beautiful style, really good puzzles, overall great game! amazing work, you should be proud of yourself
Ok this is, and goes, hard.
The concept resemble a lot of recursive functions, and seed planting is such a way to hide that. When it introduced 2 types of seed it suddenly became very tough, and the final level was another massive roadblock, but I managed to solve them eventually.
I agree with Dusty that the game needs more tools to visualize. In addition to 'one step at a time' button, I think the trees/plants matching with the color of the seed would be nice. Regardless, I had a blast playing this. I know this isn't a game for everyone but this is 15/15 for me. Awesome work :)
The aesthetic is very peaceful and warm, but the puzzle design is fiendish. Excellent work! I feel that it would be easier if the player had more tools to visualize how their seeds behaved. For instance, if there were a button to go forward one step at a time through each cycle instead of having them play automatically, it'd make it easier to understand where your instructions go wrong. It was frustrating to see the level fail and then immediately end without being able to check exactly what happened.
Very interesting mechanic. Even thought it was not easy i liked it.
Together with cozy music and amazing art style it was very enjoyable, well done!
really cool game! I like the art style a lot, and the puzzles were tricky. Great work!
Such a cute game and idea, although I took a while to do the puzzles :D
yeah there are a few tricky levels, glad you enjoyed it though 🤟
I like the looks and atmosphere. I had a bit of a hard time figuring out the puzzles (im dumb). Nice!
The art for this game is absolutely beautiful! Very creative and enjoyable submission!
thank you so much that's really nice to hear :)
