This is game is really cool, there are just two issues: one, when you buy lots of plants they kinda overlap and it's hard to see what every plant needs. Two, (just a design tip) make the coins go lower on the ground so they don't cover the plants and maybe make the coins move toward the mouse. Overall a pretty solid submission

Hey that was pretty neat, great little game, only negative is that some plants can appear in front of others and obscure their needs bar, but other than that good game.

Dried LandI liked it. The controls were easy to master. I noticed that the plants grew needier as the grew older... Nice touch.
Amazing art and sound effects by the way :)

A Trail of Ink and RainOverall, very lovely game! Quite enjoy the chill relaxed nature of just making sure my flowers are A-Okay! Just wish there was an ending in the game as I was continuously just making sure my flowers survive. Maybe a purpose for the flowers too and what they do? This really reminds of Plant vs Zombie Zen Garden in a way, I think they have a minigame for it as well. Overall, really enjoy the game :D

DewdropThose flowers are needy! I love this :)
I had so much fun playing this, I think I arrived at 15 minutes of gameplay! ...Then I just left, because the game has no end, and if you put both the cloud and the sun on the same flower it could live forever (I think?).
Anyway, besides my useless mind trips, the core mechanics is really fun. I appreciated that the flowers run out of light/water so quickly and replenish also very fast, making the whole game pacing extremely fast and chaotic. The graphics are clean and beautiful, really help to focus on the little tasks. A very solid submission, congratulations!

A Trail of Ink and RainVery relaxing and fun game and I like the interpretation of the theme! The polish was very good. Good Job!

Pharaoh: Two Steps to HeavenReally interesting concept. I seemed to cap out at like 12 flowers. A couldnt get much more than that and I had to constantly water and "sun" them. I think it would be cool if they were a bit less "needy". But otherwise great game!

Slice & SplashThe mechanics are interesting. It was nice to discover, and accumulating flowers at the start of the game was quite satisfying. But then on the long run, it eventually hit a point were most flowers still alive are on the same spot, and the only thing left to do is constantly wiggle the cloud wait to have enough coins to buy expensive flowers. I guess idle games are hard to balance, without falling into the trap of adding infinite content. Still, I enjoyed the mood and aesthetic.

To Take Offalmost like an idle game but more active. the gameplay did feel a little mindless tho. would’ve been nice with goals other than just keep the flowers alive and watching number go up. nice art and presentation though!

Teruteru AscendThe theme was either or both "rain or shrine", so your game fits with rain. It's a fun little micromanagement game. I thought it was going to be relaxing but its actually really stressful when all the flowers decide they need care at the exact same time.

Bucky The BucketVery cute and nice game! I played this for longer than I expected. Great work :) And no you did not misread the theme, it somehow fits lol.
