very interesting gameplay, cool idea!
I like the music and when the rats come out! :)
Chill and cute. One thing that bugged me was audio starting on loop, when no plant had been planted.
Couldn't figure out how to keep the sun meter (?) from killing the first plant immediately. Looks cool, wish I got further!
Nice job!
you made my zoom class more interesting
The gameplay wasn't explained, so it took a while for me to figure out how to play. Also, there was no exit button in game AND when all your plants die and you have no money, there is no way to restart (from what I could see). Other than that, it was a really fun game. It reminded me of those resturant tycoon games.
I really liked the art style, but it was kind of hard to understand why certain plants were dying. eventually I did figure out. It was fun for a short time but there isnt much substance to it. Good job with the art!
Nice game! It's a bit tricky at first.
I love the game idea and though it looks simple, its actually very challenging.
works fine on Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon 64 Bit.
Didn't get that plants can be burned by the sun at first. It was a shame when I had all three plants and they all died, when the sun set for the night. Maybe shorten the night a bit?
I don't understand the controls for this, can you provide more instructions? I can't seem to keep the first plant alive for even a few seconds.
Lost a few plants very quick at first, but once understood, the system is nice and makes sense! Good mood and good looking game!
Gameplay wasn't very well explained so the first few minutes were just trying to interact with things, but once you understand the mechanics it's pretty fun juggling the plant growth, and I like the time of day shadow mechanic! I think it would have been easier to play if you could use your mouse to activate the tools as well, instead of switching tools with keyboard. I'd love to see a bigger and better version of this!
A nice simulator, but even if the instructions I found things to be a little vague and hard to understand. However, my plants lived long happy live and I'm a proud father.
I loved the artwork in this game! It took me until my plant died to know what I was doing. I couldn't figure out a way to dispose of a dead plant so if your first plant died, there was no recovering from it.
Hard coordination game, mechanix are cool but you should think about controling the playground better. I was missing to move sideways only for a little. For this case, there will be proper control it with mouse wheele. And you save 3 more buttons with it. The atmospere of the attic is awesome.
Nice game but it's hard to understand the gameplay at first. It would be cool if we can switch tools with the mouse wheel. I think push right and push left must be inverted. Nice work !
Very nice and relaxing game with a chill atmosphere to it. The difficulty progression felt natural as well which was nice :)
Its a bit hard to understand what youre supposed to do, so I had to give it a couple of tries. Its a nice game one you know the basics of it
Pretty good. A bit hard and confusing at first, but really good overall. Loved the idea, pretty original. Good music and sound effects.
i got a bit confused about the mechanics at first, but at the second try they turned out quite fun and curious. I still don't understand the timer (every time I looked at it, it was stuck at 0). A good experience overall!
Nice idea, but gameplay a bit repetitive.
Simple concept, yet well executed. After a while the game was repetitive, though there was the trouble of handling 4 pots at time. Anyway, well done, had some fun playing the game.
Nice job on your game!
As an experience, it's one of those "starts slow but gets more interesting with time" games. I saw myself even somewhat confused at the start, but I right understood what to do. You begin with one plant, slowly getting money to buy more plants.
Things starts to get cool when you buy your second plant, and right after your third and the fourth one. The little achievements was a nice touch, helps too.

Keeping plants alive is both relaxing and stressful, nice work.
The concept is really simply and in the beginning it looks trivial, but quickly it gets quite hard to balance all factors.
Controls felt a bit confusing. I always confused push left and right because
Solid entry!
Thanks for playing everyone. My original thought was the fun of discovery on how to play, vs making people read a lot of text. @rob-avery there is a pause menu if you hit escape to restart or quit etc. @rigdonware once you have enough money you can hit the refresh button to replace a dead or empty plant. If you die before that then use the escape menu to restart.
Pleasant music and graphics! Gameplay is, to be honest, not my cup of tea but I was never much for gardening games (or for gardening itself, for that matter :)). But I think the concept is well executed and feels very complete.
Nice idea, and I like the graphics. One thing that did not feel so good was that I bought a new flowerpot directly after sunset (maybe not the best idea), and because the plant spawned as well it died before the sun came again. Maybe there is a nice way to prevent that from happening?
1. One palents -> me: Easy 2. Three palents -> me: A bit challenge 3. Five palents with sunset -> me: OMG!!OMG!!Who is going to died !? They all died!?
I enjoyed the stressful time, Good game and music :)
The learning curve was a bit steep. That could be improved by introducing one mechanic after the other. Overall a nice fun game.
I thought not explaining everything right out of the gate was a good idea, but sometimes you can get to a situation where the sun is not out for a long time and so its impossible to keep something alive. Other then that, pretty good!
A very nice concept. Sounds and graphics are excellent! My plants keep dying though, for me it's a bit too hard.
That was really fun. I loved how easy it started and how hard it eventually got. At first I felt pretty unenthusiastic about the gameplay, but once there was 3 or 4 plants I was constantly clicking on different things. At first I was going to say that the controls are a bit odd and that you could remove some of the buttons by having like dragging or just assuming the action based on the situation (like picking up coings), but now that I have finished, I think the breakdown of the controls into all of these different pieces made the game harder and made me need to press way more buttons to accomplish a couple simple tasks.
Good fun
@william-derksen Thanks for this. It's exactly the direction of the game I was going for. Glad you had fun.
