Chilled and relaxing, and didn't encounter any issues. I can imagine with more time you could implement even more items to make interesting biomes.
Thank you! That's definitely on our to do list :)
Noticed a bug where you can spam the dirt and it keeps adding oxygen, which would either be a benefit or a pain depending on the situation.
I love the chill aesthetic of it and how you made the terrarium look so cozy! I do wish there was an undo button and not just a "restart" button though. Good work!
Thank you for playing! That's a good point, thanks for mentioning it. Also, about the undo button: We want to add a drag and drop mechanic with the possibility to also take things out of the terrarium.
I enjoyed this Terrarium crafter. While it would have been nice to see the environment playing out across long periods of time I can appreciate how tricky it would have been to get all these different components to work together in such a way. Just about anything that comes out of this ends up visually appealing, even if it doesn't quite meet the climate requirements. Good stuff.
Thank you so much, that's very nice of you! We're glad to hear you like it. We do have plans for more combinations so that hopefully more biomes will be possible in the future :)
Good job
Thank you :)
This game feels very cosy. I can imagine an extended version with more challenging climates and different plants to grow.
Thanks a lot! Glad to hear you could see what we are going for :) right now our intention is to add more levels indeed!
The best I've played so far, super enjoyable. Art is great, simple, cozy, beautiful. Music is also a highlight, as a two part loop it doesn't become annoying with repetition.
Really looking forward to play an extended version of this, fantastic job!
Reading this really brought a smile to our faces. We are so happy to hear you had such a good time with our game. Thank you so much for your kind words!
A quick little experience with some nice visuals. Enjoyed it
Thank you! Glad to hear you liked it :)
Very fun and relaxing. I would love to see an extended version of the game where plants actually grow and players have to take care of the ecosystem.
Thank you! We're glad to hear you enjoyed it! and thats a great idea thanks ^^
Very simple and cozy game. I loved the chill relaxing vibes. I had a hard time trying to reduce oxygen but maybe I was doing it wrong.
Glad you enjoyed it! No you were not doing it wrong. Unfortunately there's no way to reduce the oxygen. If you get passed the oxygen threshold, you'll have to try again. We wanted the player to be able to reduce oxygen, but we didn't have time left to balance the mechanics.
I will not vote, because I couldn't play the game... the screen is just too big for my monitor, but the idea seems interesting.
Thanks for your feedback, sorry to hear it's not working on your monitor. May I ask about a couple of things?
What size of monitor, which OS and which browser are you using? Then we can use that for our next build to fix it :)
35.56 cm (14 in) 1920 x 1080
I am using Windows(10) and playing on Opera (not Opera GX, just the "normal"opera)
Thanks for addressing this problem! We're definitely gonna fix this.
For now, if you still want to play the game, you can hold CTRL and use the scrollwheel to zoom out a bit on the page to fit the screen.
Thank you! We'll look into it
Fun and cozy game! Had a great time playing it and figuring out how i can balance it
Thank you! Good to hear you were having fun ^^ Did you manage to win the level? :)
Such a nice game! Nice touch of climate in this day and age
thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
i absolutely love the style on this one! so cute and relaxing, i wish it had a bit of a tutorial but it's really charming overall
Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed it! And that's a good point, we're going to add it to our to-do list :)
The game is so cute and satisfying. I had a great time :)
Thank you so much! Glad to hear you liked it ^^
It's very relaxing and cozy. I like how the whole visual fits together nicely and the whole atmosphere is supported by the music. I would just say that it is a tool rather than a game. It's a bit lacking in depth. When maybe the player had to look for optimal combinations or different procedures would have done different results.
Thank you for your feedback! We understand what you mean. Our initial idea was to add multiple levels with multiple conditions and conflicting values. Right now, in this prototype, there is a solution to 'win' and balance all three to trigger the win state. But maybe it's not clear enough for the player yet, so we'd have to work on that. We didn't have time to balance the mechanics nor to test them on an audience so this is very helpful. Thank you!
If you make sprinkling and dropping things into the terrarium as a drag and drop mechanic, you can have all my money (i don't have much though xD)
Thanks for your reply! That was originally the plan, so if we go on to work on it the drag & drop mechanic is the next thing on the list! We also were planning on adding more specific animations for each asset :)
I really like the art of your game. Interesting use of vector graphics for the animations. The balancing mechanics were engaging.
Thank you!
Great work on this! Very smooth transitions and very relaxing.
Thank you! Glad to hear you liked it :)
I really love the visuals and the concept of balancing the different levels and keeping them "in scale". Great Job!
Thank you so much! :)
Interesting concept. I like the music and art. Well done
Thank you!
