I love the visuals and how peaceful it feels. It's great how you got VR and hand tracking to work in VR so well, I struggled trying to implement that in 72 hours.

this is pretty cool, different pace to most other games

Honestly, I'm astonished that anybody was making a VR game, let alone ones as good as these.

Really good idea and great implementation!
Hope you complete this game! :)

It was pretty fun to play this nice little game. Had a lot of fun growing plants! VR has a lot of potential, but now it's sadly just a toy.

Hey, I liked your game it was actually fun. You can improve the audio and the graphics at some point but overall not bad! And please go and try out my game!

I love how this game looks. The concept of growing things is super fun :)

Nice little peaceful game. It's good to see modern tech on the jam!

Very interesting- Very peaceful serene feeling to this :) And its fun chucking stuff over the balcony. Very cool entry for sure!

Ohhh this game feels so relaxing! It's my dream to have a small garden in my balcony but I can't make anything grow... I'm a plaint killer... Thank you for making my dream come true. And I really man it! ♥ Following on Twitter!

As I don't have any VR device, I'll only comment based on what I saw in the playthrough.
It seems really polished and has a lot of content for just 72 hours. I also really like the mood, really soothing

The background sound somehow makes me feel calm and peaceful. Pretty good mood. Nice one. :D

Thanks for all the comments so far everyone :D

I've seen the video on YouTube. It's really cool, but I cannot vote for this game because I don't have the HTC Vive and so can't play the game. Sorry :(

umm... can't play because I don't have a VR headset... :( looks fun though (don't worry, I didn't rate it)

The graphics you made were really nice, and it was a unique take on the theme.

I would have liked some feedback that I was performing an action. The watering can and seed packets could have particles fall out when you are using them. I really liked how you telegraphed how to "order" more pots.

Good work on this, it was an enjoyable experience. Thank you for making it.

As someone who barely just hits room scale, this caused me to constantly go outside my boundries even with teleporter. ;-; But I did get it working! It was very lovely and atmospheric.

I couldn't quite figure out the gameplay, mainly that I couldn't figure how to actually make things grow. They were over time, but sadly I was low on time so I couldn't wait for them.

I kind of just wanted to relax on the balcony it was so calming.
