Greatly enjoyed this entry!

Took me a bit to get going, and even though I don’t have an exact understanding of every mechanic at play, I loved making the flower structures, and seeing my numbers go up over time - super fun 🌻

If I were to take this game further I’d add:

  • definition to the playable area, e.g. dirt between the purchase area and the game board
  • some kind of clock that updates each tick you’d be receiving energy
  • some sort of synergy system
  • level system to challenge the users efficiency/understanding of the mechanics

All in all great entry and a lot of fun!
