Hi there, i just wanted to say that was a great little game you managed to make. I made this before the jam ended however it took awhile to finish video. Congrats on the win. Timestamps are in the video description if you just want to check out the part about your game later.

I absolutely love this game, the mechanics were so fun and enjoyable and the animation made everything fluid.

Throwing a flower in the air never felt so fun! Simple, cute puzzler that really ramps up in difficulty. Good stuff!

A fun game with interesting mechanics, nothing else to really add to that

It was a really funny and interesting concept. The last couple of levels were really challenging I enjoyed those the most.  Excellent game good work.

Really cute game. The puzzles are easy to understand. I suck at games so i honestly didn't get very far but i did enjoy it

Developer

Thanks for playing! The puzzles do get kinda hard towards the end xD

This was a fun puzzle game to play to test my brain and skills. The music is a little repetitive in my opinion though, I enjoyed everything else (even the unique death messages lol).

Developer

Thanks! Yeah, music is a pretty short loop.

This was so cute!!!!!!! AHHHHHH, Touched my heart dearly~ I loved the levels as well they were truly quite fun!

The sounds the flower made were so adorable too, I wish the flower had a name though :( Whilst I cried out in distress each time she died I ended up calling the Flower "Rolly" lol. Like "Nooooooo Rolly!"

My one critique would be how I'm not sure how it conveyed the theme very much, Rolly is said to be a pacifist, but that was pretty much it and I'm still unsure what exactly makes Rolly a pacifist, it says choosing to not use his tool but I'm uncertain as to how exactly.

But! Other than that, it was such an adorable game my goodness, the ending was so cute, I loved the mechanics and the level design was simple yet just the right amount of challenging ^^ Great work Mono!

Thanks a lot for playing and for the feedback! Probably should name the flower - 'Rolly' is the name of the robot you play as xD

I initally wanted to design the robot as a bigger, more powerful robot who chooses not to use weapons, but Rolly doesn't have weapons in this version. So instead I decided to remove any potential weapons as game mechanics that Rolly could have, so he has to use the 'claw' to protect the flower instead of weapons to defeat enemies so 'No Weapons Allowed' too! I thought it was a bit more obvious but I can see how the description didn't convey that well!

Again, thanks a lot! You seem to be more attached to the flower than I was making it xD never thought I could make a flower so important in a game.
