At first i didnt see the scanner on the top and just eyeball where the best place to plant.visuals and music feet the game so good I loved it !

Developer

Hello! I absolutely loved your game. It is quite relaxing and at first I was scared I'd run out of seeds eventually but then I started just planting as much as I could. The concept is really good and I would love for it to be expanded on eventually! Sadly I think I accidentally skipped a dialog box when I got all the animals out. Overall I had a wonderful time just gardening for a while. Thank you for you hard work, and I hope you had a lot of fun making this!

Developer

Thanks a lot ! I'm really glad you enjoyed your time with the game ! It is planned to do a post-jam update ! The dialog box clicking happened to me too xD. It was really fun and exciting, as all the jams are !

What an incredible game ! There is so much potential! 

Some random feedback:

- I never used the scanners, it was faster to browse the map with the mouse. Maybe being able to switch between views faster, or combine the 3 views into one would be a good addition

- I noticed that I spent more time looking at the scanner at the bottom right rather than the map which is a shame given the magnificent artwork you did

- a small z-ordering problem: when you put plants behind a tree they appear in front

- at the end I tended to click everywhere without really paying attention to the scanner, it could be interesting to add a seed rarity system. Maybe the robot should collect them from the plants so that their quantity is limited, and we develop more sophisticated plants as we go along

In any case it remains an incredible work in 3 days, congratulations! (it could totally be extended into a full game :D)

Thank you very much for your feedback. All what you said is known, just not enough time to do.

We're planning to do a post jam update , we'll try to fix as much as possible and polish more as well! (and a teased feature might get out of its burrow) 

Thank you very much for the feedback, that's always appreciated !

42 cookies is a lot, you know? Congratulations to your team, the game looks so comfortable. I love the design and sound of the little robot :)

If you could try and rate my game, I'd be grateful!

Thanks ! I'll give it a try ! (yeah that was a lot of cookies)

Developer(+2)

That was the amount of fun we had, measured in cookies. Because no cookies were harmed by us  for this jam! 

Thanks for your comment ^^

I really love the way you've implemented the different zones.
Your art style and sound design is also amazing!

Thanks for the compliment ! I'm glad you liked the sound design, it was quite hard as it is not my cup of tea xD

Really nice graphics and sounds. Amazing in only 3 days. It is my first jam and i didn´t finish at all. Yours looks amazing

Developer(+1)

Thanks man, I really appreciate ! The team worked hard and well for this ! It is a real challenge to have a balanced mix between our ambitions and what we can do in 3 days, you'll learn with experience !

Pretty unique concept. I enjoyed locating perfect spots for different plants and seeing the forest grow up. The forest seems to also affect the environment, which is really cool.

Developer

Thanks ! I'm ready glad you enjoyed it !

Good presentation and concept and I liked the different scanning modes/plant requirements, although I found it difficult to tell when I made a good choice with my plants.

Interesting ideas, to be sure!

Submitted(+2)

Chill atmosphere, very cool art. The planting mechanic doesn't seem very intuitive, maybe having the robots face change to different expressions based on the plants needed stats and where you are trying to plant could be a nice touch. Overall good game!

Hey ! Thanks for your comment ! Maybe in the DLC xD

Thanks a lot ! I'm glad you appreciated your time with the game !

Just wow, so beautiful! My game started lagging when I tried turning on the filters but that might just be a problem of my whacky computer ;) Other than that, really atmospheric game

Developer

I'm so happy you had a good time ! I can't even play it with my computer xD

Submitted(+2)

I love the cozy vibe you have going. How you have to place the plants correctly to slowly create a better environment for better plants, is really cool. And the art, OMG!!! Really great game, congrats!

Thanks ferrc, I (we) really appreciate !
