Great and strange game)

hendrikboom3 2020-04-21 01:40

That was fun. A lot depends on being able to move the mouse fast.

locksmitharmy 2020-04-21 01:42

What is happening in my life that I feel like kissing plants...

snowycocoon 2020-04-21 01:45

Love the artwork!

bjl 2020-04-21 01:46

Jeu amusant. Je ne m'attendais pas à en trouver un comme ça, mais j'ai bien aimé. Bon travail. Et j'ai pu garder toutes mes plantes en vie.

peet-klecha 2020-04-21 01:47

trop mignon!

effarek 2020-04-21 01:47

Strange game indeed but quite funny. I had some difficulties with hitboxes but I made it till the end !

izokia 2020-04-21 01:47

Really nailed the theme here. Game was fun. I TRIED TO KEEP THEM ALIVE BUT WHO KNEW JUGGLING BETWEEN 5 PLANTS WERE HARD!! A little on the stranger side, but made for some laughs. Art was enjoyable and seemed polished. Great game simple concept :thumbsup:

kristian-kurktchiev 2020-04-21 01:51

I enjoyed the game! Fun little thing, aesthetically pleasing to boot!

bernard-bumblebutt 2020-04-21 01:52

Great art!

billnotic 2020-04-21 01:52

I mean the gameplay is literally just clicking, but the art was cute and the idea was fun. Fits the theme quite well too because it does feel like you are frantically trying to keep the plants alive.

giraffesareburning 2020-04-21 01:58

When I lost the first time... I wanted to try again because I wanted to see what new plants there could be... but then I didn't want to try again because I would have to do all that clicking again while listening to the kiss sound. Great visuals and interesting creatures!

persimmons 2020-04-21 01:58

This is so beautiful in every possible way! Plants Do need lots of love, and the art and color palette is just beautiful!

mishoulin 2020-04-21 01:58

It really hurts to play this without a mouse, but props for the funny/slightly uncomfortable theme!

landosilva 2020-04-21 02:00

The art style is amazing and the theme is really suitable. The concept is strange but quite funny. Technically speaking, the hitboxes seems a little off. I guess it is due to the screen resolution that is not fitting the web view size.

weil 2020-04-21 02:01

i really liked it even though it's a little perverted!

relixes 2020-04-21 02:02

The art and the sounds are pretty funny and great. The font on the game makes it really hard to read the texts. After I completed the game I skipped the final screen because I was clicking furiously on the plants to keep them alive. ): Maybe you could make the final screen "unskipable" for at least 2~3 seconds so people won't skeep it unitentionally like me.

hueson 2020-04-21 02:03

The pot on the far right was a bit hard to click as it was partly behind the pot in front of it. This had a nice frantic pace. You constantly have to bounce around the screen and be on the lookout for what's about to bite it.

ezra-szanton 2020-04-21 02:04

Ahhh this is great, love the art, love the genre subversion. Warms my heart (and creeps me out a little) complicated emotions! I'd love to see this built out into a bigger game with a couple other mechanics, like maybe rubbing them with oil or shining sunshine on them - perhaps explore holding down the mouse and dragging over them? Either way, fantastic game! Thanks for making it :)

croze 2020-04-21 02:07

What on Earth did I just play lmao, is this what polyamory is like? I didn't want to kiss that weird looking carrot tbh, but my wish kind of came true, because through my hectic clicking I must have clicked whatever button brings you past the "You win!" screen, so sadly I didn't get to see what happens at the very end :(

briibot 2020-04-21 02:11

A really cute art style for this!!☆

willjardine 2020-04-21 02:11

It was a bit slow with the first, one plant level but really ramped up after that. I really love the art!

purrseus 2020-04-21 02:24

Very dreamlike, totally absorbing in it's beautiful weirdness.

mmason 2020-04-21 02:24

Very pretty game, I wish there was a little bit more to do

jack-kaloger 2020-04-21 02:50

amazing artwork and music. can get very intense towards the end

los 2020-04-21 03:10

amazing and strange :)

rebecca-harrison 2020-04-21 03:11

Hilarious game! So much fun to play it on stream! I don't want to talk about what happened at the end though... >_>

sarok 2020-04-21 06:54

Great art! Makes me want to take of some plants, although I may not go as far as kissing them ;)

andre-fremaux 2020-04-21 09:35

Loved the art for this game! Each plants design was a little creepy yet strangely pleasing haha. Quite basic in gameplay but still a fun and whimsical experience! Great job guys!

tricky-fat-cat 2020-04-21 20:00

After playing this game it's hard to go pass a plant without kissing...

leafthief 2020-04-22 06:53

I enjoyed the closeups when *going in for the smooch* :kiss:

bongooo 2020-04-22 07:05

Just played! very nice! Probably I will tweet about this in the next day on this page https://twitter.com/Free_IndieGames !

junebug 2020-04-22 07:49

For the first 4/5ths of the game I was thinking "wow, I love these plant designs" and then you made me kiss a naked Neil deGrasse Tyson plant and for that I can never forgive you.

demkimos 2020-04-22 10:20

Quite the weird game. The gameplay sure could be improved, I think there could be more interesting challenges than adding more plants. The premise is ridiculous and funny, though. Quand même, j'ai eu plaisir avec votre jeu. Bon travail et merci beacoup

qazikol 2020-04-22 11:50

I am unashamed of my lust for plants. Really wonderful all-round, especially the gorgeous music and illustration!

actyl 2020-04-22 15:36

Hey! Lovely project, hope you're all doing well. Missing RPI a bit these days.

primalshadow 2020-04-22 16:47

Very nice simple game. The artwork is fantastic, the game is humorous and the gameplay is fun with a decent progression of difficulty as the game goes on. Well done!

noamraz 2020-04-22 17:50

Cool Game! Like It

meme-310 2020-04-22 17:51

I liked graphics and font a lot. The game was weird xD. Simple and nice.

pandanym 2020-04-22 18:33

Absolutely gorgeous art style, you nailed the cute/weird balance perfectly. Thank you for your entry !

omiya-games 2020-04-23 01:59

Well, that was an unexpected ending.

Some feedback: Given how often I clicked each plant, the kissing sound effect got annoying very fast. It would have been nice if variations of the kissing sound effect were selected randomly and played. It would have probably been interesting if mid-way through the game, more than one new plant were introduced.

Also, the cutscene where the protag and plant kiss was a little confusing, because one could still click on the plants at get the kissing sound effect. This made me think the plants were still dying in the background, though careful observation revealed time pauses during these moments. I feel these pauses could have been better communicated visually and interactively, e.g. by plopping a full screen background like the ending, and preventing interactivity with prior plants.

juanj7 2020-04-23 09:29

The art was good but the game size doesn't scale so it crops if the screen is small. The kiss concept was a bit strange.

rongefilet 2020-04-23 16:53

Not sure how you came up with that concept but I'm grad you did. I especially liked how it rapidly transition to almost a rhythm game with mouse precision involved, but those cutscenes though, each time I was wondering if I shouldn't just let those disgusting things die ^^". Great game, congrats!

whenyoucantfindafriend 2020-04-23 17:25

I really love the art style and the color palette! Kinda reminds me of the book "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett where Crowley scares his plants to remain healthy. I know I have cried over a dead plant before so I can relate to this game! Sometimes they need a bit of extra love! Ha Ha! kinda creepy and cute at the same time.

apandso 2020-04-23 19:46

A very unique game :D Graphics style was pretty cool!

imod 2020-04-23 22:27

Strange and interesting game :) I very liked art.

adamcyounis 2020-04-24 06:25

Très Adorable! I thought the concept, art and music were very charming on this one (if, at times somewhat disturbing). The gameplay was, sadly, just a little bit on the thin side. I would have really like some extra dynamic that changed the interaction somewhat, as the game is pretty much solved once you can cycle through the plants, which is easy enough. A very short but sweet entry. Thanks for the game!

marcusnystrand 2020-04-24 13:26

Really weird yet lovely game. Beautiful and unique art style and nice music. For me it plays fine in full screen but non-full screen looks cropped.

Great job!

edalbung 2020-04-24 15:14

Magnifique jeu ! I really liked the concept, and the fast paced gameplay to keep the plants alives ! The graphic style, the music, the feedback sounds are very nice !

Overall, very good work on your game !

thebreakfast 2020-04-24 20:45

The music and art give this a very unique cute atmosphere. The plants were a little creepy which made a strange contrast (in a good way). The concept is pretty funny! Mechanically it is missing a bit I think. Some variation to add challenge, maybe needing to click on specific leaves on the plant or something. I also missed the final cutscene because I was still clicking when it appeared, and it skipped the ending picture. Thank you for putting those pictures in your description here!

pee-thief 2020-04-25 04:06

@whenyoucantfindafriend Love Good Omens!

hwaet 2020-04-25 05:45

haha oh my, this was an unexpected submission. A very unique take on the theme! And it was suitably challenging to get to our favorite Neil. It's okay though, there's other... plants... in the sea...

davekingcool 2020-04-25 08:04

Neil is finally mine.

muchobestostudio 2020-04-25 16:30

Strange game with a beautiful art style. 😘🌱

absoluteds 2020-04-25 17:31

I like the art design. But unfortunately, you just have to click. Maybe had more interaction, like give water and something else.

But still good job

yangying 2020-04-25 18:04

It's a funny game even though the title actually is really easy to misunderstand to some weird things😂. I like the sound effect and the girl graphics. It should reflect so quickly at the end of game and I actually cannot cover all the planets in the end, that's so hard.

farbeyond-studio 2020-04-25 18:12

That was so hilarious and so creepy :smile: It can happen that you accidently skip the final cutscene when you're clicking in raging love :sweat_smile: And I think it isn't displayed correctly on 1600x900. But I loved this. So creative, and such a lovely art style!

freakoftheyear 2020-04-25 18:18

Very weird but amusing :)

picusbgames 2020-04-25 18:21

Interesting choices and game :) I don't know who Neil is but I will google that lol :)

legavroche 2020-04-25 20:40

Hilarious concept, and I loved the visuals and art style. I think I found a way to cheese the game though. If you just click the new plant, it'll eventually grow and then you get the cutscene and can reset all their timers. Also I would've liked some other button or key to restart the game, since players are already clicking the mouse like mad and it was very easy to skip the ending screen with a unintended click.

historymaker118 2020-04-25 20:50

This was the weirdest game I've played this LD. Not sure how to really respond to this as it's so 'out there' as a concept. I guess the art and music were well done, and the game didn't have any bugs that I could find. Perhaps my only complaint is that it's perhaps too easy and too short.

peterfiftyfour 2020-04-26 06:02

A fleshy baby came out of neil degrasse tyson puckered lips thanks i hate it. Cool entry tho very original haha. My only comment is the font is a bit hard to read. Needs more nightmarish plants to smooch

thekingbarry 2020-04-26 08:50

What a strange experience, yet fascinating with the help of the nice DA and nice cello score. The idea is very original, nice entry in the Ludum Dare !

tweedle 2020-04-26 11:26

was clicking n smoochin like a madman at the end and clicked thru my big moment with Neil RIP my heart, one of my favorite games so far! nice job to all!

mircea123 2020-04-26 14:09

Well.... Now I will receive notifications about this...

Yeah.. Let's say that the reason I am not asking you out is this fetish of yours.

mulberg 2020-04-27 05:15

That. Was. Weird. =) I kissed to the win!

vesper 2020-04-28 10:49

So bizarre, but I loved those plant designs (the skull plant has my heart). Definitely second that comment on mixing up the sound effects a little, as repetitive noises can become annoying. Sometimes the clicking was not as specific as I would have liked, and that lead to a brief moment of panic where I thought my plants were going to die - but, that's what it's all about, so things were good on the engagement front. A strange but diverting little game. Well done!

zondarg 2020-04-28 23:10

That was strange but fun. It was a bit hard to hit the correct plant after a while, so I clicked (kissed) but the second from the right kept losing energy and died. Nice music by the way! Good game! :thumbsup:

skyeward 2020-04-29 02:29

I love the organic feel of this game! The painted art style and the real recorded music both work wonders for a game about growing plants. This game has a really strong mood, and a lot of humour.

I'd love to see a longer version of this game, perhaps with some more plant varieties and something to spice up the gameplay. I can't get enough of the strange, scary yet cute art style. Merci pour le jeu!

lexyvil 2020-04-29 03:40

The gameplay was somewhat repetitive and simple, but the presentation was quite charming.

scott-steffes 2020-04-29 17:16

OMG so many kisses! The hand-drawn looking art style really set the mood.

convg 2020-04-30 18:39

Cool game. Pretty funny and unexpected. Nice job

poshdan 2020-05-01 11:57

Those who would say video games aren't a form of art need to play this. It certainly made me feel... something. I didn't expect to step out of my comfort zone in such a fashion today

thibaud-ligneul 2020-05-01 16:09

Weird concept and title, but cute execution ;)

kc-shiftyyy 2020-05-01 18:07

great game but im gonna have nightmares

trexxak 2020-05-02 02:03

I'm so in love with the ~~monst~~ plant design! The colourscheme, artstyle and music are so in sync! Weird and wonderful!

minnka 2020-05-03 15:12

Very fun to play on a touchscreen pc, nice graphics.

theaidency 2020-05-04 07:02

Oh god that was wild! Loved it! Thanks for rating my game!

artemftw 2020-05-04 23:07

Great game, the graphics and audio is very good, and it fits in with the theme pretty well. Nicely done!

pee-thief 2020-05-05 03:56

@ursagames thanks so much for streaming! Made me smile watching you play

rik-thunder 2020-05-06 12:29

So...I kept playing because I was curious what new plant designs you came up with...despite being really unconfortable~ good music and the art style is nice.

...but...I think my stomach is turning after the end...

iak 2020-05-07 08:45

Yo! Thanks for linking your game for my stream!

So this was... different :D Definitely one of the weirder Jam games I've seen. Nice, mildly creepy art. Gameplay was simple but fitting to the theme, I guess.

doritolord 2020-05-07 10:50

i actually liked it a lot. It wasn't the gameplay that sold it, but the weird feel, yet nice aesthetic of the game. Peculiar, but relaxing (...sort of cause i had to click a lot).

arkinrev 2020-05-07 21:03

Nice job, and I really liked the consistent art style throughout the whole thing. There were a few plants I'm not sure I would have kissed. Nice job!

gameovermexico 2020-05-07 21:23

NiceJob! Recurso 4pantalla.png

fabula-rasa 2020-05-07 21:37

I really adored the oil/dry pastel drawing style. Each plant is different and definitely unique, which gave me something nice to look at to compensate for a very simple gameplay :smile:

It is a very nice jam job!

One thing I noticed is that the plant on the right in the second row can be a bit hard to target when it's tiny (as so much of it is hidden behind the plant in the front. It's completely fine when it grows up though.

Awwww. He smoochy

hybitous 2020-05-11 23:28

Cute and oddly bizzare game. I like the vibe the graphics and music create in the beginning and the divergence with each additional plant into the bizzare :smile:

tony-artz 2020-05-12 05:21

Really funny and odd game. Love the art and the music. It's really weird and quirky, I love it. Great work.

garygreen 2020-05-12 21:07

That was unique, and quirky. Great graphics. I didn't last long though - just not enough clicking speed.
