WOW! The art is incredible! The gameplay is great and this is a good take on the theme. I really love this!

corrade 2019-10-07 01:42

Thanks! As a side note, I've just increased the volume of the game globally. If it's too quiet/loud please let me know.

josh-aaron-miller 2019-10-07 01:42

Very hard! Good game.

100th-coin 2019-10-07 02:02

Stellar work! oh, my poor poor plant. Never stood a chance. Those bugs are ruthless!

tero-pulkkinen 2019-10-07 04:19

nice art

tic 2019-10-07 06:51

Great game, and really hard too ! I feel like the cooldown on the lightning is too long, but it might just be that I'm bad at this game :)

appoxgames 2019-10-07 06:53

Lovely design but i could not figure out what to do. I made it rain but the insects kept killing me. Eitherway goodjob, was an interesting idea. It has almost the same concept as the game i created. Great minds think alike :D

geoff-nagy 2019-10-07 06:58

This is a beautiful game! Controls are not too complex, which is nice. The game is hard, though! Those pesky insects keep eating my plant!

congusbongus 2019-10-07 06:58

This is a very interesting game! The art is also very good. Unfortunately I must have been seeing a bug where the lightning never recharges!

cirno 2019-10-07 07:13

The graphics is awesome. The game itself perfectly fits the theme and watching the plant growing is fun. This game is a bit hard for me though, I cannot control the wind to remove pests quickly. But I really enjoy it and played (died) dozens of times.

tadeas-paule 2019-10-07 08:37

Beautiful. So hard though! One suggestion; I only figured out after 2 restarts that too much sunlight rapidly drains your health. Well, "duh", and you even mention it in the manual to keep it in the middle zone, but a graphical indicator (or a sound, like a sizzling), would be great!

suryaprakash 2019-10-07 09:06

The artwork is too good and the event managing was also done to it's apex.

mortalfosca 2019-10-07 09:18

Artwork is stunning!! never expected this much from a compo game. Bravo!

On side note: I believe there is a bug with some insects (when there are more than 1 and very close to each other) not fleeing when in contact with water.Other than that, flawless!

corrade 2019-10-07 10:29

Thanks for all the feedback! Difficulty is something I'll keep in mind moving forward. I've had this issue before so it really shouldn't have popped up again. >:|

@congusbongus The lightning takes a whole minute to recharge. Was it still down after that long?

@tadeas-paule Thanks for the feedback. I completely agree and wanted to add an indicator but didn't follow through with it (regrettably).

@mortalfosca Thanks for pointing it out, that's something I should've accounted for.

adrien-dittrick 2019-10-07 10:30

really nice art :) I felt like playing cloud tennis until some bugs ate my plant.

marcin-j 2019-10-07 16:07

Easily the best looking game I've seen so far. It took me a few tries to understand the mechanics and controlls properly. I think the game would greatly benefit from a simple tutorial or action/key prompts.

banjaxe 2019-10-07 18:43

Beautiful hand drawn artstyle, nice mood. Took me a few trys to get the hang of it at first. I never survived very long, but I kept replaying so that's a good sign. I died to losing health mainly. Lovely short tricky survival game.

fupi 2019-10-07 18:47

The game is surprisingly chaotic and difficult! I love it! I just couldn't get the Aphids to go away using wind, as the manual said.

2019-10-07 18:53

Very fun concept indirectly controlling the clouds with wind! The controls are a bit unwieldy at times, at least in the HTML5 version, since the wind seems to get "stuck" going in a certain direction since it's easy to have the mouse leave the screen when dragging. The art and mood are beautiful though!

simxple 2019-10-07 23:21

The art is so beautiful, I love the whole concept. Literally nothing to critzice.

khaotom 2019-10-08 04:34

R.I.P. every plant I cared for. :smile_cat: Very beautiful art and interesting take on nurturing plants.

justinooncx 2019-10-08 05:53

Who knew a game about gardening and sunlight and flowers could be so nerve-racking? A challenging game, to be sure, having to juggle multiple resources at a time! Took a while to get used to how winds work, after being swarmed by a thousand aphids... Lightning cooldown seems to be super long, too, as I never seen in recharge the few times I used it. Then again, the flower never survived for too long... Great job on this entry!

velvetlobster 2019-10-08 07:28

Insects would always be my doom ... i feel like into the wild

The graphics are very well drawn. The wind control feels natural and generates a nice mood. Removing the pests can be a little challenging, but very nice game overall!

superlee 2019-10-08 10:31

Great artwork and atmosphere creating, hope I have the same art abality as yours.

odeyalko 2019-10-08 13:26

beautiful game, liked the sound

feingehacktes 2019-10-09 12:25

beautiful. But I can't manage to win. Maybe an element to show the lightning cooldown would help

p-r 2019-10-09 12:28

Lovely.

gisam 2019-10-09 12:33

Very relaxing game, fit the theme.

jharler 2019-10-09 12:53

I love the visuals here and the sound effects were superb. This was a very interesting concept as well. Great work!

nocity 2019-10-09 13:14

Nice art and sound. I think this game should hint at the controls at the beginning so you don't need to read the manual to have a first try. Aside from that really beautiful and interesting.

zoya-volkova 2019-10-09 13:32

Good job! Artstyle is very sweet and innocent. Very cute interpretation of the theme! Also, agree on the insect issue. There are too many insects for lightning per minute. Maybe another Mechanik for insects? dunno Overall, great job!

harksa 2019-10-09 13:32

Well the art style is definitely nice, but the difficulty was a little too much for me to handle and I couldn't manage to win the game after 3 attemps (way too many bugs at the same time)

But hey, with some more balance, the game can be really amazing ! So keep up the good work !!

squimmy 2019-10-10 13:28

The artwork is beautiful and the aesthetic cohesion of the game is top-notch. The audio, visuals, and gameplay all work together very well.

I'm usually of the opinion that music plays a big role in building the mood and feeling of a game, but the ambient background noise you've added seems to do that job just fine.

It's particularly refreshing to see a nice, slow-paced game about creating life, and not another frantic action game based around destroying things.

hcursino 2019-10-11 05:42

The only thing I would add to this game would be a cool down indicator so I could measure better when to use my lightening because, brother!, those bugs are hungry. That flower must be delicious because it felt like a plague or something. A really fast paced game for a game about growing a flower. I was surprised, really fun! Good job :D

manimal 2019-10-15 17:23

Very nice art, I love the animations of the insects. The sounds of the environment is realy like I m in nature. This realy rise up my mood.

kirbloid 2019-10-22 15:59

I really loved the art and theme here! Really impressive and quite cozy to play. Definitive 5 in mood for me.
