This game was really good! Can't believe how much you got done in 3 days. Also probably the most compelling story of any game I've seen in this jam! I really enjoyed this, I think I'm going to continue playing it later.

It's a really nice game considering it was made in less than 3 days. The story, music and art come together really well. The 2 frame limitation is also managed very well.

I did find a bug though. After reaching level 4 or 5 of the to do list, I kept weeding. Eventually, I picked up a flower with the trowel and right then, the day ended. So I couldn't plant the flower because he says "Maybe tomorrow", I can't head back home since I have a flower which he doesn't want to remove from the garden and I can't return the trowel, probably because I still have the flower.

Bugs like this are inevitable, especially for a jam but I just thought I'd let you know.

Hi! That's not a bug -- that's something players keep running into; (See comments here and the description on the main page). You need to leave the flower on the grave, then you can put the trowel back and head to bed.

I'm going to update the message you get when trying to sleep with a flower to make that more clear.

Ahh.. I guess I missed that. My bad.

I liked how many different goals there were. It felt like a lot of content for a jam game.(:

A cute and lovely game! I love it, the mood and the story

Great job :3

Thanks! I liked how similar our game was to yours, at least in the "growing things" concept! Yours was lovely as well!

Submitted

Yes! I think the same :3 

Thank you very much and Good job

Very well done. I couldn't get past day 2 because I dug up a flower just before the end of the day and couldn't replant it, when I went home it said I couldn't take the flower :(

Nice use of colour and mood and the sound definately fits the game well. I understood what to do straight away - well done. It would be nice if I could pet the dog though. Reminded me of Stardew Valley.

Yeah, this is a common thing - what people don't seem to realize is that in this case you still have an option to leave the flower on Her Grave. The message should indicate that more succinctly, but you're not stuck!

I see, I didn't get that :(

I love that every plant breathes just slowly.  This really contributes to mood of the game!

Definitely the best game from this jam I've reviewed so far. The somber mood made me feel lonely. Excellent introduction at the start. Very emotional.
