Something about this game really resonated with me. Love a cozy deck builder, and the themes of built to scale really come through here. You can really build a deck that scales numbers in a very satisfying way. Agree with others that beginning is slow but not sure if that's bad. The pacing of the game is cozy and it feels kinda right.

I would have liked an explanation of how sun and water combined. Eventually I realized it was multiplication. Maybe it would also make sense to have too great an imbalance actually harm the plant. Like in real life if you have too much sun / water it can be harmful to the plant beyond just slowing the growth.

Anyways just have a lot of thoughts because I really liked it 5/5*

I like the art style. The game was very slow at the beginning and I couldn't tell if my cards were doing anything or if the location I placed them mattered.

10 games in and this is so far my favourite, everything works smoothly, no bugs happening, game loop is smooth and coheceive, content is neat, card drawn make sense, different combinations possible, although very linear, the linearity of is per player individual, no stress, no hurry and fit the theme

This game is so relaxing. It was a little slow to begin, but just listening to the music and enjoying the art, I lost track of time. I really like the way the plant growing was done. Really nice game, amazing looks. fantastic submission!

46 turns! I agree early game is slow but I got a 36x43 and felt amazing. That small repeating tune is calming and beautiful and what can I say, I love me a gradient. Awesome job!

Great idea but abscence of setting and tutorial makes the experience unpleasant
