A very nice experience. I haven't finished the game yet, but I will come back, because right now it's personal, I need to finish it.

Gameplay:

- It has simple rules, but the exection makes them interesting and challenging. I like the progression of the levels, they help you to understand the gameplay, but I think the "second seed mechanic" could have been explained better. I've got it after some tries. Maybe you need one more line of text to explain it or a different set of tiles. Or maybe I am just dumb.

But still, I liked how you created something like this in 4 days. You've optimazied the time given to you. 

I also think that a game like this could be a potential mobile game, working only on some variations (type of plants, enviroments) or it can stay as it is, a small game created to challenge yourself.

Graphics:

- You did a very nice job here. Everything is coherent and polished. The palette fits with the game mood and the pixel art helps to have a "cozy feeling". It's also simple but well-finished.

Music:

- It does it's job. It fits the game and the mood.

Relevance to the Game Jam's Theme:

- Got the idea of "grown", but not so much the "scaling". Was it the number of tiles? I think I'm missing something.


With that said, GG. When I have more time, I will come back here and finish it. It's a promise.

The sound and presentation make a very cohesive whole. Aesthetically a calming and introspective experience.

this is fantastic, I love the music, the style, programming the seeds is such a cool puzzle mechanic, it’s so fun experimenting with it. the vibe is so calm and pleasant too. well done :D

Great little puzzler, I really enjoyed playing it! The game looks and feels complete, which is impressive considering it was a 4 day jam. Awesome work! :)

Really cool core mechanics, and some of the best presentation I've seen in the jam. Quickly started to mess with my brain, as any good puzzle game should.

I would apprieciate a play & review of my game if you have the time.

Thank you for this wonderful game. It’s relaxing and makes my brain do brain stuff! image.png

I liked the relaxing music in this one! My mind was blown when more seed types were introduced

Submitted

Me encanto, muy buen juego, no pude entender muy bien cuando tienes dos semillas, no se si fue por el color que son muy parecidos o que no se mucho inglés, pero fue bueno

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 :)

Submitted

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 :)

Submitted

The style is great, and the puzzle-solving method is very unique

Submitted

Nice game! The puzzles were definitely a bit tricky once additional seeds were introduced. Overall I thought it was pretty charming and cozy

Submitted

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! 

Submitted

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

Developer

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!
