Pretty graphics, good audio, challenging gameplay and levels, instructions. What I would change are the sizes of the objects visible, it would be cool to have it zoomed in and just pointers to the flowers needing attention on the screen, so partially blindly exploring the world.

Great music and sound effects. I wish there was a way to maximize the browser window though.

Cool music. Good mechanics taking water and bringing it to flower. Many levels created. Good game.

Very good concept! Also liking the fun sounds. However, i'm not liking the background music, because it does not fit well in the game. The layout scale is also too large, rather could be the game would be more closer to the character. Plants should give more feedback when 'ready' (f.e grow it's flowers)

Thanks for feedback everyone!

@furfel While I understand your opinion, I was aiming more at the puzzle platformer where you see the whole level and need to figure out solution, rather than "explore" platformer genre. Also, that would require more detailed sprites, and we may have not had enough time to make that look good.

@hexiez123 Agreed, but with time restrictions, I decided to go with fixed resolution as I didn't want to deal with reponsivity.

@hiisileiri I don't think I understand your remark about flower feedback. When you save a flower, there is a sound effect and the plant grows yellow flowers.

Graphics were good. Also TBH most background tracks I've listened to so far for these games are discordant nonsense, I thought y'alls was fine.

Haha wow absolutely loved this. Your game seemed very well done, I didn't notice anything that stuck out as incomplete. A+ voice acting lol. I found level 15 to be too difficult, but i'm sure it could be done. Loved how I could actually like throw the water around the place when i'm jumping and it would still water plants. Great job!

It was a cute little game! Controls were a little floaty, but it still was a good platformer

bootygangdisciple 2020-04-21 02:56

This was definitely a fun, cute little game. I liked the concept, as it was very unique.

cannedveg 2020-04-21 04:24

Very cute! Everything felt very intuitive and the addition of personal bests was very impressive!

fizzyapple12 2020-04-21 04:28

I loved it. It was so much fun to play as a watering can watering plants. Plus, the graphics were cute and there were so many levels to play through.

goblinkingmatt 2020-04-21 04:54

Fun game, great job with the theme, and I love the voice lines. Everything about this game screams charm.

erebus 2020-04-21 09:57

Really interesting concept! As always, thanks for bringing the game by the stream!

grizzliusmaximus 2020-04-21 14:43

Lots of good mechanics in this game. I always love a good challenging platform. Good job!

radow 2020-04-21 14:45

That's one game I definitely haven't played before! I liked the detail that the ability to jump grew weaker the fuller the can got and the can was just generally cute =)

nightvision65 2020-04-21 17:52

Beat the final level. The mechanics are really interesting and amazing. The level design is also nicely done. Also I like the voice of flowers, they just suit perfectly.

trexxak 2020-04-23 04:07

I really didn't think I'd like this game so much!

In terms of mechanics there's just so much more than what meets the eye with this game, there's real depth to it, which is remarkable for the short timespan.

It's also great you have the medal and highscore system in place - really adds to the replayability a lot. I for one couldn't pass the first level until I got the best medal (other levels aren't as important, but the first one always has to be S-Rankable :D )

I would say that it feels a bit frustrating to need to be so precise with Kevin, but the aforementioned Scoreboard really doesn't agree with me - there are people who enjoy to overcome this challenge and this game seems to already have found it's audience.

Great work! Will surely come back to play again some time :D

This game looks that is gonna get boring very soon, BUT IT DIDN'T

Pretty simple mechanics but everything works really well Congrats ^^

gamer-fates 2020-04-25 15:42

OMG this was fun! Haha. I also lobe the Metal sounds!!! LOL!

robber 2020-05-03 11:35
