Neat little time killer. Controls were a bit unclear even when I read the description, but once I got that down it was pretty good. Good job
Looks pretty cool, the UI was a little confusing at the start, but got on top of it quite quickly. Maybe the seed shop cycles a little too fast or has too little on offer, deciding which to buy usually came down to just the price, instead of other stats.
Pretty complete simulator, I just think it needs more indications, I did not understand what all the $ indicators stand for. I lked the music! Well done!
Love this concept, I probably spent more time playing this game than any other LD46 game so far. Balancing wise, I seemed to always reach a point where my money ran out and I couldn't buy any more flower seeds or do anything else -- not sure if I may have been making bad choices or otherwise failing though haha. Great work! :)
I think it needs a buy all button on seeds as once I was later in the game I bought them as fast as they appeared :)
Once I restarted I got to a stable point. UI glitches made it tough to make decisions about the 3rd seed packet.
good game
I really love this kind of games. However, I had no money left on day 17, But that was totally my fault, I was saving for the water thing and had then no more money to by new seeds : P . The information plates were needed, but I was missing something indicating that I had bought something and what benefits I had from it (the things I bought) :) anyhow good job on finishing the game, I had fun time playing it!
Interface did not show up clearly for me. General concept seems nice. Good background music.FlowerShop.png
I always love to see business sims in Ludum Dare. It's a tricky genre but I think you got it mostly right.
It was tough to keep things going - the rising labour costs mean that you have to keep expanding to stay afloat, but it can be hard to scrounge up the money to do that. I guess that's realism!
That was a pretty good game! Of course could use some UX improvements but really great for a game jam, I probably spent almost an hour on it and would love to see a full game arising from this one!
I really liked the whimsical mood created by both the graphics and the audio. Both were well executed and made for a charming presentation!
I liked the idea of the game, and choosing between seeds was an interesting touch. However, I found the UI to be a little confusing, and sometimes the seeds would cycle while I was trying to look or click on them, making it a little hard to determine what the current state of the game was. Getting into a death spiral was easy, but seemingly impossible to get out of. Nonetheless, a neat concept that could be even stronger with a little rebalancing. Nicely done!
