I can see why the camera was bothersome to some. Doing away with it, or giving it limited motion seems like a good idea. Also needs some sound, and something to achieve. I just kept growing and planting things, then adding water. It would also be helpful if there was some sort of tutorial in game to let you know to water the plants to get them to multiply. Otherwise I love the design, and it worked well. It could definitely be a nice base to a larger game.

Note, multiple people report serious issues with the camera, I have a version without the camera movement uploaded here:

It's otherwise exactly the same, just with a static camera position.

A bit difficult to understand what to do. The concept seems very interesting though and it all could have been improved with some audio and music. That would have made me want to stay in the game longer than I did.
