Square Rooted!! Interesting puzzle game!

millerman 2014-04-28 22:57

Really enjoyed it, shame that there's only 5 levels.

I really liked it! It's a simple concept that can provide hours of entertainment. I also felt really relaxed playing this c:

I liked your take on the theme, puzzle games are always a neat way to go. I liked the art and the background music. Kind of wish there was a High(low?) Score saving.

Great little game

chaoseed 2014-04-30 20:38

So it's basically a Sokoban variant, but that's okay. The graphics are excellent, and the whole thing seems to have a great mood. I wasn't too convinced by the theme usage, though. In all it was good work. ;)

Great art!

hernanzh 2014-04-30 20:39

Nice little game! Lovely art and music!

punkerellasummers 2014-04-30 20:41

Love the style so much :) And nice and simple to learn too, I would play more levels!

vdogamez 2014-04-30 20:43

It was short, which is a shame because it's beautiful looking. I feel like the mechanic could be expanded if you made some sort of restrictions with rolling over already-planted flowers with the cart.

adamwfindlay 2014-04-30 20:48

Thanks for the comments so far guys! :)

@VDOgamez yeah I definitely wanna expand on the mechanics and that is a good suggestion of something to try out!

Great game. So mellow and great graphics. One of my faves so far. I normally don't go for puzzlers, but really enjoyed this. :-)

Great game! Wonderfully put together. Nice to see such a complete package. You did one thing and did it very well.

Very fun and peaceful game.

stoo 2014-04-30 21:06

This is really nice and I love the graphics. It's refreshing to see a game which isn't about killing things. My only complaint is it's so short!

shivur 2014-04-30 21:06

Very beautiful game.

bzizi 2014-04-30 21:06

Nice art

metkis 2014-04-30 21:07

Surprised there weren't many levels, but enjoyed it nonetheless!

teameagle 2014-04-30 21:07

liked it! Looks great and feels good

joshua_burr 2014-04-30 21:07

very nice art.

adamwfindlay 2014-04-30 21:08

Thanks :)

@metkis and @stoo I wish I hadn't of ran out of time for making levels! Would liked to of made more than 5 haha.

kuchalu 2014-04-30 21:10

I really enjoyed this. Would be excellent on iPad.

hanoth 2014-04-30 21:50

Very relaxing and fun.

deathbread 2014-04-30 21:50

Fun to play, I would have enjoyed playing more than five levels :)

zedutchgandalf 2014-04-30 22:00

This looks great!
It's really short though... But nevertheless, I enjoyed it :)

amour-maternel 2014-04-30 22:26

Nice art and sounds. Maybe you should have told for each level how many moves needed at least to add challenge.

kugrou 2014-05-01 02:38

Really liked the art and music.

praporomsk 2014-05-01 12:16

nice art

solifuge 2014-05-02 02:21

A really nice, relaxing entry! The art is crisp, the contemplative music furthers the mood, and I felt motivated to finish the garden. Some more guidance on the goal right off the bat as to the goal would have been helpful, as well a (togglable?) indicator as to the fewest number of moves in which a puzzle could be solved--just getting through was a bit easy after a while, after realizing where the cart could and couldn't be retrieved from. More levels with increased mechanical depth would be great :D

I don't know if you've seen this other entry, but they have somewhat similar mechanics--might be interesting to take a look: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid=26919

A pretty decent puzzle game with nice graphics, the audio fit pretty well too.

wertle 2014-05-05 02:44

This was super cute and cohesive design. The sound was great! I like how it's casual in the sense that the move counter counts up and you aren't trying to beat a limit unless you choose to. My one suggestion would be to celebrate the "win" of a level a bit longer (maybe a momentary pause while the wind chimes play - also old man dancing) but that is a minor bit. Nice work!

mrexcessive 2014-05-05 19:37

Hi. Finished all 5. Be nice to have another 15-30 ! Additional plant types or other things to do would be cool. Love the art style!

Presentation is perfect. Nice pun ;)
