The concept is simple and straightforward, but the struggle for survival proved to be a fun challenge regardless. Stocking up on water, avoiding the sun and the hungry desert creatures was no easy task and while my poor little plant did not prevail, I really enjoyed fighting back and getting better at staying alive as I started more attempts. I especially liked your team's artwork, it's really detailed and both funny and cute. I had a good time playing this game, great work!

Unsacred GardenThis was fun! It really throws you straight into the action, but it was designed in a way that I immediately knew what to do. I kept trying to hide in the pot to hide from the rodents, but they were more clever than me. Nice job!

Bumper CropNice job on the art! Like the others said, the concept of having to balance your needs in order to survive is fun and adds some depth and choice to the game. It took me forever to find the oasis though, because I kept running out of water and sometimes the water bottles would become empty, but wouldn't give me any water, which is unfortunate lol. Either way, good game guys!

PP's ForestVisuals looks great!
Interesting gameplay because of how you have to balance the 3 needs (counting "not getting eaten"), you always only can do one at a time so choice matters.
Game is really hard, but then I started a new game and found the oasis in 5 seconds, can it spawn randomly even right next to you ? :P

Grow BackI like the concept of this game, and the art looks very nice. I think some feedback on the tumble weed throw would improve the game. Also, some feedback from the mouse when it's hit. I like the idea of getting water and shading yourself. Also, it's good that you have to get to the oasis. If you wanted to expand the game, I think you could add another enemy with a different movement set. Also, some terrain that you have to navigate, although the endless dunes works thematically. :)
