There is just something else when it comes to this game. The polish the gameplay. I don't like to download games to often but I am glad I did on this one.

I like the concept! I found it hard to control, so i mostly was killing those poor souls......I'm a bad gardener :(

Sorry - GMTK Game Jam is for games made specifically for the jam. You have been working on this game since before the jam began: https://x.com/WaterMuseum_/status/1810454850502566134

Hey! This is actually a completely different game than that one. The name Human Garden was just a potential name for the other project that I didn’t end up using for it. No mechanics/code/ideas are being used from this other project of mine, only the human model/sleeping chamber model is shared.

That game is about controlling a squad of little men and fighting insects and such, this game is about moving little men around on comets with trees

here is some gameplay from that game (dated 6 months ago) so you can confirm that it’s a completely different thing

Wow dude, this game got some awesome vibes.

I'm horrible at taking care of my humans, but it was vary relaxing to carry their bodies anyways hahahah

Submitted (1 edit)

humanity vibes, 

really like it, controls are pretty

Awesome  control system! I like it. But i would be add ability to control camera rotation sensetive. Also cool gravity interaction between objects!

Submitted(+1)

I don't know why but this game made me rethink my life

Developer

it is because you are a little naked man

Submitted(+1)

I saved 9 beautiful humans, but felt a greater attachment to the many lifeless bodies I carried through space on an oxygen deprived rock.

Wonderful experience.

Guilt is a more demanding emotion than love

overall brilliant, water museum does it again, but the real crem de la crem for me is the nature ambience fading in/out based on ur proximity to the planets, could play around w that for hours

Developer

Haha thank you! I wanted to make it so the nature ambience also disappears when you remove the atmosphere but ran out of time :(

Hi, i would like to dismantle capitalism. where do i start

Submitted(+1)

really amazing work! love the style and how everything fed into a central theme. it really all comes together to form a great picture. wasn't seeing any eggs... but still gotta give it high marks despite that fairly large oversight

Submitted(+1)

I'm shocked

Developer

good or bad shocked??

Secret

I really enjoy this game. The camera is always placed in a right place and the frames so well designed!

Developer

thank you so much

Today I learnt that I'm a sadistic bastard and had the most fun smashing asteroids into people.

Developer

everyone else already knew this 

Submitted(+1)

Cool game. The aesthetics are so disturbing

Submitted (1 edit) (+5)

The sadness of seeing a new group of humans stand inertly, refusing any part in their own salvation and trusting only in an incompetent and uncaring higher power until an asteroid that I misjudged the distance of crashes into the planet and kills all of them is strangely profound. Extremely interesting game, even more so for being made in only 4 days. I feel compelled to destroy fossil fuel infrastructure

Developer

You have been indoctrinated

Submitted(+2)

Could not have hoped for better from you, invibing strongly right here, good job
