@vilix64 aww, its retarded! :'))

Was hoping for a different ending when I didn't pick the flowers :)

psychedelia 2018-12-28 22:27

@rplnt yeah, kind of forgot about that :')

Fun little platformer. I liked the little bit of physics on the boxes. I got stuck on the second level for a little while because I didn't realize you could stand on the clouds, so maybe you could try to find a way to make it more obvious that they are platforms.

@302-dave thanks! I fell in love with the box physics and had a lot of ideas for them, but Stencyl seemed to not handle it well when there were a lot of them on the screen at the same time and I lack the knowledge to solve these kinds of performance issues, so I had to reduce their numbers :D The clouds seem as a common problem among friends who played, will remember it next time!

Nice platformer, but i think Odie is not such a good boy.

Very fun game! I like the way the flower murdering sound effect interacts with the music.

It took me a short while to realise that the clouds in level 2(?) were platforms, but no big deal.

Looks like we both are a few ratings short of actually getting to see our result.

My mom really enjoyed the dead flowers I brought her.

Nice game! I love the background music and sound effects. The game was really frustrating to play as the controls were very slippery and sometimes uncontrollable, but that didn't make the game boring to play, it was really fun. Graphics were OK, nothing to special. The game's backstory was pretty funny and the game itself gave me a few laughs. Great job!

@oriondark7 thanks for playing! I am sorry to hear about the slippery controls, I don't really code (or make graphics or compose for that matter) that much to be able to think around this though. Good to hear you enjoyed regardless! :)

psychedelia 2018-12-29 20:39

@wfmg thanks for playing! The cloud platforms seem to be a recurring problem :D

We'll see about the ratings. The important thing is we had fun creating! I'll make sure to rate back and wish all the good luck!

@izunah got it right. @cheetah Odie is a good murdering boy. Thanks for playing!

This is a nice representation of the current flower industry. Controls are smooth, mood is consistent. I like how you place the first movable crate in a place where the player has to push it. This way the player learns as he plays what the mechanics are and prevents long tutorials, was quite amazed to see that in a jam game. Other than that, good platformer with the theme nicely implemented!

@hare-software thanks for the kind feedback! Teaching the player without their knowledge is the fun in it for me, so I am glad to see it appreciated :)

Interesting game with good controls!

jeremy-ryan 2018-12-30 03:50

This game is an artistic masterpiece. The narrative has so much depth, and I can sympathize with Odie's struggles on a fundamental level. Also, that is one difficult walk home.

psychedelia 2018-12-30 07:40

@jeremy-ryan finally, someone who appreciates this game as the art that it is!

kaeveris 2018-12-30 10:15

I like the idea. The art is cute and the controls are really smooth :)

psychedelia 2018-12-30 18:20

@emperor-eagle @kaeveris Thanks for playing!

This was a very nice experience, I did not know I enjoyed torturing flowers so much. The musics were very nice and the graphics were simple and pretty. The animations were smooth and lovely.

Congratulations, Andrea! :heart:
