The concept is fun, yet I don't think it's quiet balanced, it takes ages for the first flower to be ready for harvest. Maybe there is some mechanic to make sure it's ready way earlier, but couldn't find it in the how to play.

I didn't really understand the point of the game... and the relation to the theme.

Pretty hard, but fun

I'm not sure if I did something wrong or there's something wrong with my computer, but I think my version of the game had some sprites missing. I kept waiting for clouds, but there were none. Anyway, congrats on finishing and submitting a game in 48 hours!

It was nice, but it could do with some balancing I think. On the third or fourth level, all my plants needed water so much that I couldn't spend any time on doing anything else. So I just had to water them until I died pretty much. Maybe I'm just bad but it felt like I really didn't have time to do anything but water the plants.

@DarkAnice, @jacobturn, @Marcus Otterstrom: Yes, The game is pretty unbalanced. I went into LD41 with a focus on balance but got caught up trying to give the game more depth...

@Hedgy: I agree the point of the game is a little... abstract... Genres: Farming/Aliens.

@jharler: Thanks for the note, I had seen that issue to. I will see what I can do about tracking down the problem. seems like restarting the level can solve it (however I neglected to add a 'restart' button)

Thank you everyone for your feedback :)

Hello there, very nice game!

Maybe you should mention that the clouds are dragged & dropped with the mouse, I kept clicking and nothing happened :-)

For me, this would make a great commute game if you developed it further!

Loved the artwork for it. Game was fun. A great start for something that could be more.

Enjoyable game. Very relaxing experience playing the game. The graphics were nice liked the smooth motion of the sprites and animations made it feel very chilled.

Pretty good, but it got boring quite fast, or maybe it was not really my type of game. Some sound effects (and music) would have really helped the game as the silence killed the mood. Other than that the idea was good and art style worked well with the game. So all in all well done!

Original idea.
