Beat both levels. Wish there were more! I wasn't quite sure what what the cacti were for. I made them bloom and got mana, but the mana didn't seem useful for anything.
The pixel art and music fit complemented each other nicely (though I wish the audio loop was a bit longer). No bugs, and the controls were easy to get a handle on! Nice entry :smile:
Fun game that I enjoyed playing! Looks amazing too! Congrats.
Very nice game!
Good and enjoyable game! Graphics are cute :)
Lovely game, wonderful art :)
@boxedmeatrevolution Mana was originally going to be how you leveled up and got bigger, but I had some bug issues so I had to pull that. It was supposed to force you to chose between conserving water and gaining power :-)
Great game, the graphics are cute :)
Congrats on finishing your game! It's quite enjoyable and I wish it were longer. I like how you interpreted the theme. Good job!
It's sad that mana doesn't mean anything in a game. When you understand that you can avoid watering cactuses it becomes too easy to play, so unfortunately after some more levels you stop playing, mostly because it's not obvious whether the game becomes harder or not. The main character is cute as well as bushes with flowers. Anyway I wish you luck and fixing that bug
@kiddychris I agree -- for the tradeoff to be meaningful you need to have a more tangible reward for the tradeoff other than just seeing the cacti bloom.
Nice sprites, but I am not sure I see the value in the increased mana stuff. Am I missing a mechanic?
fun concept! Needs more levels! It would be nice if we could use mana for something
Really cute game :3 I have no idea what mana can be used for but I love the cacti and gave them as much water as I could so they can grow. The graphics were pretty cute and the music + sfx were fitting. The spiders looked a bit odd. As a summary the game is really great and should get more levels :)
Nice game. I don't get the mana thing either. The map art is poor compared to the cute character and cactuses. Anyway, the game plays very nicely. Also thanks to upload a web version of the game.
I really dig the player sprite/animation! Cool concept with a great vibe. Is mana a measure of score? Congrats on finishing! Good job!
Nice game! More levels would have been nice, but the game is fun and art and music are cool :) Nice!
Fun little maze/exploration game! I am not sure I know what I use the mana for, but at least I made some cacti happy! There were some 'red rocks' tiles I think were some other type of item? A few more levels, and perhaps a try-again-but-now with faster speed mode would be good.
Fun little game :) a bit short and easy but at least that is well scoped XD I didn't get what the mana was standing for, probably for different endings ? Also I loved old school sfx and little player's animation. Good job :)
