A fun little game idea, and I had fun trying the game. Controls felt a bit weird, but it was not too bad. Overall a pretty good jam game.

This was a nice game to play it felt like a metroidvenia, which are game I absolutely love. The robot was super cute and the tools were also cool. 

If I had to give some feedback, I would say that the button layout for PC was a bit unnatural, it felt strange to use x to jump instead of space or arrow up for example. Either way, it was a great submission, congrats!

I didn't expect a metroidvania-farming sim genre mashup but I liked it!

Got through the yellow gate and stopped a bit after because my platforming skills didn't allow me to go past the two plant platforms.

The platformer controls are feel good and work well, maybe a bit of additional love could be given to the camera, as I felt that attaching it to the character made movements a bit harsh.

Nice game overall, and probably the best name in the jam ;)

Yeah, I figured there might be a few other games with the same name. I'll give your game a play later today. Us Grow-bots need to stick together!

In the two platforming sections right after the yellow gate, the second plant is actually optional. You can still progress in the game by just jumping off the first plant and continuing through the cave. Jumping off the second plant earns you a bonus collectible to reward you for your skilled platforming.

Cool game! The only problems I had were the known bugs you've listed already

Cool concept, great and unique mechanics! I really loved how you could even use water the platforms to grow

I think the pacing of the game needs to be a bit faster

I think the start was a little slow. Otherwise cool concept and execution Good Job!

This is awesome! I didnt finish but i got past the yellow key area, I think ill come back later but I really loved the way you showed how to grow plants with the dripping water. Definitely had some cool platforming puzzles with the plant growing mechanic. It did feel a little fetch questy at the beggining getting the first two apples but it was enjoyable overall
