Adorable art! The seeds started bugging out a bit, and it didn't let me plant them after a while, but you did a great job with the concept! I really wish there was some audio, though. I'd love to hear that cute little thing sing!

Cute; seemed like it was close to being really fun but not quite there. It feels like a speed based game, but it didn't get fast enough. Also, there was a pretty debilitating bug where planting locations would get "stuck" in place on the screen even when you walked around, and stay there for the rest of the game, covering up other things.

Thanks so much for playing! I did quickly fix that bug, so it should actually be playable now :)

Cut, fun, interesting. An impressive effort.

A nice little game with an interesting concept!

Very cute art style, great sound design. This is one to remember!

Very cute art :)
Unfortunately it's not very fun to play, because it gets repetitive quite fast and there is never a sense of danger or urgency.
But I like the concept, something cool could sprout from this :)

This game is so benevolent and cute. I really liked the concept. I think it needs to be more fun though. Or maybe enhance the idea that the player is contributing to happiness. Maybe including random texts at the end of the day related to the amount of happiness, like, today a butterfly visited your garden, or today you made someone smile with one of your flowers. Don't know, those are just some random ideas :P. But I really like this, it made me think about the good things in life :). Well done.

Hehe, interesting and cute. A nice first attempt. ^^;

Really cute game! The controls took a little while to figure out, but it's a really nice idea :)

Lovely art, smooth animations. For the goodness :)

This game is delightful and it looks awesome. You almost have a winner here. Just figure out how to make it more fun.

@alhvi thanks for the suggestions! I was thinking of doing something similar, but I like how you're talking about it even better :D

I always knew that this happens beneath the surface, but I never saw it this clear.
Nice art style and good sounds. Funny little game. Somehow a little repetitive. So maybe you could add some tactical elements (need to grow specific flowers to get the right seed color back).
In level 3 I failed (time was over), but got to level 4 anyway... The keyboard control to seed (J/K/L) needs two presses to work for the first seed.

Gorgeous game!
The graphic was beautiful,
and the sound was great too!(altough it could be better imo
with some bg music or something to make it more alive).
