interesting idea, but classic gameplay
Beautifully done! I loved the art, the background music was lovely, and the game play is nice.
My only nitpick is that the puzzles are two easy! Once I figured out how the various items behaved it was really easy to get through all the levels.
First, I love the concise gameplay. It might be more fun if the level design might be added more difficulty.
Then, I love your game's mood. Music is very quiet and the hand-painted graphics fits well. However, I dont like the robot's moving audio. It might add more low frequency. Maybe you can use a headphone when making sfx? then you can hear the lower beats
Nicely done! Quite well polished. The art is cute, the music is nice, the sounds fit. It creates a really relaxing and tender mood. The gameplay, I feel like I've probably seen something like it before, but it was well executed. Actually a couple of the levels were kind of difficult! Though I guess not THAT difficult since I still got through in less than 10 minutes, heh...anyway, great job!
Very sweet pitch layered on a very solid movement puzzler. The graphics are nice and really fit the aesthetic you built up. I wish there was a bit more direction on how some of the mechanics worked (the see-saw, the sprinkler, etc) it was a bit of trial and error to get it to work.
I love it. I've always loved puzzle games, and this one is brilliant. I can see the potential for more and harder levels. And I loved the drawings! Beautiful.
Nice puzzle games. I love this difficulty level and stylized graphic.
Nice puzzles! I had some trouble to figure that I can use the plank bu then it was sweet.
Nice drawing this is beautiful
Nice game. I like the music, the speech bubble sound compared to it is just a little too loud. Apart from that it looks really good and the puzzles are very interesting.
Nice little game. Good job)
Music and dialogs were enough to bring a charming gentle mood in the game. the leveldesign and gameplay elements are a bit simple. I would have love more mechanics an innovating puzzles to play with this game.
Cute graphics and music. I would suggest putting in a different message for getting wet by the sprinkler. The sprinkler movement wasn't intuitive. I liked the see-saw mechanic. Game could be harder, but maybe if you had more time you would have made more levels. Overall, well executed.
I like the combination of chill music, cute story and especially the hand drawn graphics which gives the game a charming mood and atmosphere. It's a solid little puzzle game with a reasonable difficulty curve, but I think the later levels could have been a little bit more challenging. It could add to the gamplay if you did not have to go through that little sequence everytime you retry a level, that's a little inconvinient in my opinion. Overwise I think you did a great job with the game alltogether with an interesting take on the theme :-)
Very nice game, the music fits well for the background music. Since it is an endless loop you could have done something about the gap between two repeats but that is a minor issue.
Technically everything is well, the game loads fast, runs in my browser without a problem and the controls work, that is not always a given :-)
I like the graphics, they have a consistent style and I love hand-drawn graphics in a video game - good job!
I was able to beat the game, I liked the difficulty level, not too hard but not without thinking either.
Overall a very goob, thank you and keep up the good work!
I really like the crayon style drawings, along with the story! It's a very charming atmosphere, which along with the game-play and music, create a relaxing game! It's a short and a little too easy, but it's fun while it lasts.
The see-saw was a little odd, it's use eluded me the first couple of of times I played the first level, I thought it was a table! Maybe a small arrow pointing towards the one-way direction might have made it's function more clear, or a forced, one way placement would have worked too. The dialogue every-time you lose was also a bit much, I'd shorten it to a single bubble.
I also found a bug. If you run out of juice when you get to last flower, you can water it during the lose dialogue, which advances you to the next level. You can also just move while the text plays in general, causing text to appear over text!
Other then those small issues, it's a well made entry! Great work!
Artwork is cute and well done, mechanics are easy to grasp and get going. I agree with a previous comment that once you understand what you can and cannot do, the puzzles are fair. However, because of the artwork and how the level is presented, it is hard to tell what I can and cannot do. For example, make it so that in the first level I have to go over the ramp to get to the other flowers because there's no other path to show me that I can user it to traverse at no cost. Also, the level with the mud made it feel like I could not touch the mud patches at all. Meaning, it took me a bit to realize I just can't touch them if I get wet. Other than that, this game is solid and plays well.
