good game all round, like the design and the puzzles, well done
Thanks a ton!
One of my favorite entries for sure! I really enjoyed playing this one and even finished it. Took me about 30 minutes and it was nice figuring out how all the plants work.
I was also surprised at the amount of levels the game had. It was nice being greetedf to a second set of levels after growing the tree the first time.
Thanks a lot!
I tried to get a decent amount of levels, so there's plenty of opportunity to play with all the plants!
Ah, I just love these kinds of games! Thank you for making it possible to start the seeds again without having to start over. 😁
Small note, because I don't know if this is how it should be: When the flower is still "extended", you can't hop on it. It took me a few jumps to realise that...
Yep, they have a cooldown period - specifically so you cannot use a single flower to get higher bounces.
And thank you for playing the game!
Wow, really loved the graphics, amazing, the puzzle design is great, and the polish level is solid. To say something "bad", I feel the character physics is a bit stiff. Anyway, a GREAT game, good job!
Thanks a ton! :3
Solid game, solid graphics, nice job.
I thought I was done and then it was like "LEVEL 2!"
I couldn't finish because I'm terrible at jumping games, at least on mouse/keyboards, but the puzzle aspect was a very welcome addition.
Thanks a ton!
Yeah, the difficulty ramps up a bit on the 2nd levels. :P
Thanks a ton!
Great game! The art is nice, cute and cohesive, but the best part is the gameplay and how much content you managed to put into it. The main mechanic is nice and well executed: The levels are well thought, and there's some constant progression in the game. While I disliked that getting killed by a slime late in a level sends you back to the beginning, the game was balanced enough to not make this frustrating. The addition of the plants-vs-zombies lookalike plant, but with a gun, was an unexpected funny touch. There was a point however, where I tried to reach some platform by bouncing on two spring plants back and forth. I'm not sure if I just didn't execute it properly, or the game just didn't allow it, it was not clear.
The core game mechanic also reminded me of a level in Spyro where you had to plant either bouncy mushroom or a platform daisy, to reach the top of some tower. Not sure if you got inspiration from that :)
Overall this felt more like a small completed game than a jam entry. I had fun playing it. Congratulations!
Thanks a lot!
Sadly, chaining jumps on flowers is a little buggy at the time (especially in browser version), I will fix it in an update once the jam is over. Wish I could've caught that before. :P
I gotta admit I don't recall that mechanic in Spyro, I only ever played the first one though.
good game idea it reminds me by my last jam game ,i couldn't pass the 3rd enemy !
Thanks a lot!
You probably mean the one that you needed to drop the seed on the ground without falling yourself, I've seen some people struggle with it a bit, I should've shown better that it's a mechanic.
Loved it so much, the level design was on point. Loved the items and the shooting plant lol
Thank you for streaming it, it was really fun watching you play it!
Thanks for making a fun platformer! Very creative level design.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome work. The variety and versitility of the plants was a nice asset. The graphics were also super cool.
Thank you kindly! Your game was awesome, love the narrator!
Cute characters, and fun idea for platforming! I have always wanted to make a platformer where you grow plants to help you progress!!
Thank you very much! And yeah, it's a fun concept for sure, lots of possibilities.
A lovely platformer, well done.
Thank you!
Nice main character bro!
Thanks! I tried to make the cutest squirrel!
You did it! xD
I thought it was a Chipmunk (Squirrel with a shorter tail).
It's pretty cute though. Good job.
This games really great! Amazed at how many genuinely good puzzles there were! Peashooter with a gun is also top notch! Great stuff! :D
Thanks a lot! Glad you managed to get past first levels to see the
Peashooter! :PThe artwork is consistent. I like the puzzle mechanics. I think there could have been some minor tweaks to player movement. I personally prefer spacebar to my jump, but i feels like you wanted all input to be handled using only WASD. Nice work!
Thanks a ton!
And yeah, wanted the game to be extremely easy to pick up, without any tutorials or control schemes. In hindsight, I probably should've allowed the player to jump both on space and on W/Up Arrow.
I like how clean the art is, and the puzzle mechanics were cool, however, I did get stuck on the third level. (browser).
Oh, why? Is it because you couldn't figure it out or a bug?
theres a part torwards the end of level 3 where (I think) your supposed to jump from one flower to the other then exit the level. when i try to do that, I phase through the second flower, or I successfully bounce off the second flower, but i don't get enough height to clear the second level. is this a bug, or am i just dumb??? :D
OK! so I went back to play that level, and it looks like there,s a chance that jumping off the second flower WILL give you enough height to clear the level, but there's a chance you wont get enough height. so the second bounce works as intended sometimes. I'm thinking it's a bug.
Oh, we were typing at the same time. xD
But yeah, it's a bug, pretty sure I never had it happen during testing and I'm not entirely sure what causes this. Again, thank you very much.
That sounds like a bug to me. You are supposed to just bounce on two flowers, so don't worry, you're not dumb.
As a matter of fact, I just went into the browser version of the game and tried it and it does seem to fail sometimes. :/
Sadly, all I can do now is to recommend downloaded version or to try to do it again a couple of times (if it always fails to bounce higher, then that's a serious problem).
Let me know how it goes, and thank you very much for bringing my attention to this.
no problem! :D I got past that point so I'll play the rest of the game too!
I hope you will like it!
Really cool. I found the difficulty ramps up a bit quick, but really solid jam game!
Nice puzzle elements for the grow mechanic. Very innovative and nicely polished.
Thanks a ton, was trying my best and I'm happy with how it turned out!
I like this game, but i got tuck in the 3rth map =(.
Oh, how so? Also, browser or downloaded version?
In browser.
I will test the exe soon ;D.
Yeah, seems there is a bug in the browser version in which bigger bounce from the flower (or any bounce) might not occur. It's inconsistent. The exe version should not have the same issue (or at the very least I couldn't encounter it so far).
Ok, i just download the EXE and just stop to playing when i fished it completely.
You made a masterpiece and, for me, your game is the best of this jam untill now.
Yo're realy a good game maker and i can't wait to see your next jobs!
Ooh, thank you so much, it means a lot!
Hope I can live up to your expectations in the future.
