Very nice game and mechanics. Was a nice touch to make the environment always new and fresh with different obstacles and behaviours.
I knew as soon as I saw the banner art that I would like this game, and I was not wrong! Its a really nice idea and fits the theme perfectly. The gameplay is fun and easy to grasp. The art is brilliant.
I like the subtle details like the flower getting slower as you run out of lives and the music changing as you enter a different environment. Its definitely a very polished game. I only have 1 small complaint and that is that the water effect on the screen was a bit too intense and made my eyes go weird. A very good entry overall!
thanks so much for the feedback! We totally agree on the water effect and had planned to tone it down but didn’t get time, as is the way haha :’)
Also, thank you for organising the jam so well, it’s been great!
Loved that you could take the plant from underground all the way to space! Quite addictive too!
Some very creative ideas in this game. I especially like the transition from dirt to sky to space. Unique enemies and gameplay concept. Only the rain I found a little bit jarring. Otherwise, Good Job <3
We planned to shorten the amount of time it rains after each watering can, but we ran out of time! Thanks for playing and commenting.
had a great time playing it! Really well polished
This game is great i also feel like it should be a type of mobile game but in general it's a great game.
yea was thinking would work well on mobile, thanks for playing
Very good game, just the smiling bees, I thought it was bonus the first time :)
thank you! and yeah we thought the same after we finished, in our haste to make sure we got the different elements in we put the bees in with the enemies but should’ve probably been a bonus life or something! :’)
Wow.. I don't know what to say, 5/5 perfect game.
thank you so much! :D appreciate it
This game is a nice all rounder, has a audio slider, can play in browser, game is simple and yet challenging, and is very replayable, so fantastic! The fixed area where the sun is I wish could go more to the left and right side of the screen more, because those are essentially dead zones if you roam there. But stick to the middle with some serpentine maneuvers and you'll be in space in no time. If I was better I would be able to evade the sun tracking aliens, but alas I only got to 529 ft. Very nice game!
Thank you for playing! I agree with you that the sun could use more range, or that the spawning area could be reduced for the pickups to avoid that situation where it’s difficult to grab. You have to keep your water high to compete with the aliens :)
I reached 515ft! Fun game! I thought you would want to hit the bees haha
This is a great game! I made it to space! The plant movement is very impressive
The game is just great, excellent work.
Nice concept and really well executed! Also love the art!
Easy to catch and addictive.I reach space and 465 ft.
Nice concept and I love the movement of the plant. Thanks for your hard work. PS: I really laughed with the aliens :)
Thanks for playing, glad to hear you made it all the way to space! :)
