Whooo tha gets hectic real fast. Nice work on the game!

Cool concept, and pretty graphics! I couldn't seem to gain money, I'd mostly just hover between 3k and 5k from new plants coming in and selling plants, but it doesn't seem like there's anything to spend it on anyways. I like that I could control the pace by just not picking up the new plant, that helped with it feeling super hectic at first. Well done!

this may be one of the most fun games i've played this ld - something about how hectic everything is and how the controls are just janky enough that it feels really fun!

Cool game!

This was a great little game. starts out pretty chill, but it ramps up pretty quick.

Keep up the good work! I look forward to the next entry!

really love the graphics man

This was a great game! I never knew gardening could be so hectic, haha! 🤣 The music was very fitting and kept you on your toes, the graphics were great and the gameplay was solid. Once you got into the rhythm of tending the plants the game had a nice flow.

Overall, a really solid game which I definitely enjoyed playing! :four_leaf_clover:

I'm getting serious Overcooked/Unrailed vibes! So stressful... :sweat_smile: but I loved it! I like how the plants can get sick too haha, looks like they need to learn some social distancing.

The only part about the game that sucked was the landlord! :wink:

i like the plant concept, if you want another game about plant check out my game too!

I felt like I was playing Uncooked haha. Great job on this entry - definitely a unique take on the theme!

These plants have nothing but requests! Cool game, gets really crazy after a while. Fun and nice graphics!

In the second week I lost all the plants :cry: However, the business continued for four more weeks :sunglasses: Nice job!

Worked perfect on linux! I liked the song and the text messages that told you what the plants needed. I had a lot of fun playing. Good Job!

rustywolf 2020-04-27 00:22

@nachodlv thank you for confirming the linux build works :)

A really cool game which reminds me of my own in a lot of ways. I love that you can place every item anywhere. If I had to critizise something it would be that the game space seems a bit confined and that you don't know how critical a need for a plant is. But those are really just minor things. You did a really solid job here!

beautiful game

avi 2020-04-29 14:08

Really fun game! I like the the idea that you can see what the plants are "saying". I wish that were the case IRL... Maybe that'd help me keep mine alive.

hamzeh 2020-05-01 21:57

does it work on low-end computers?

rustywolf 2020-05-02 13:11

@hamzeh dont see why not, but I haven't tested it.

Oof, it's very hectic!

Keeping my tools in the middle and only focusing on one or two plants seemed to help, but you might want to focus on having a little more gentle ramp-up (even though the tutorial/guide & what the plants are saying is already very clear).

At least the experience is quite smooth, the interface always does what you want it to do. I think I'd visually distinguish the manure and the medicine though, as I occasionally grabbed the wrong one.
