Oh my days it's too hard for me lol I can't survive day one (◕д◕✿)

I do really like the design though ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ the bees are evil and today I learned I am a terrible gardener(^^ゞ lol

Cool game idea. But I had a bit of problem understanding what to do, showing the controls would've helped and/or any kind of introduction, you're kind of thrown in there and challenged right away before knowing what to do. You art is pretty cool, but a bit inconsistent, you have multiple pixel size in the screen making it seems like they don't belong together, i'd avoid scaling any art and if you do, scale everything with the same scale so a single pixel is always the same size on screen. Also you made pretty since grass tiles but it's pretty clear where one tile ends and the other begin, you might want to blur that line, look up for tileset tutorials. One last thing, losing makes you character stuck in place with a really small semi transparent window telling you you lost. I would make that window way bigger and clearer, since it seems like the bug bugged on me, since the window was so small and subtle.

Cool idea and nice art. Keep up the good work !

Great job making all your own assets! It's cool that you even made a logo, that's a nice detail that came out well. My main point of criticism is probably that the game is pretty overwhelming right away. Ideally, the game would start kind of slowly (no bees) so the player has some time to get their bearings and learn the controls. Also, if you have a top down perspective like this, a character's hitbox should ideally only be around their feet, I got a little frustrated sometimes getting the character's head stuck in the fence. You have a fun and frantic gameplay loop though, it took me a few tries, but once I realized that it's fine if you just ignore the 2 flowers on the right, I managed. Cool submission!

The bees added a cool challenge, but unfortunately it's already quite hard without them :'( also would be nice if you could hold space to water the flowers instead of having to spam it
