I just played again with those suggestions, everything works as you said. I guess it wasn't clear that you needed to jump to be able to place the platforms. There's a lot more to appreciate on a replay, all the choices in the shop felt pretty impactful and the progression was fair. Only real gripe is there's a good period of just watering at the beginning and watering in general feels like you should be able to fill the meter, run around and do more interesting stuff, then come back.

Glad it all works now! Yeah, that’s a very reasonable gripe, and one we would like to address in the future. Once you get the watering upgrades it becomes easier to keep the meter topped up, but even then it is true that there is some downtime at the beginning before the first weed spawns. Things to hopefully improve in the future!
