I was a bit worried when I saw it fall on the ground from the start, but it managed to go back vertically, haha

Nice little game, it's very satisfaying to see the plant evolve !

I was also worried when I saw the plant land on the ground, but lovely and chill. Great atmosphere!

I wasn't always sure what was going on in this game, but as a sandbox, it was relaxing and very fun to play around with. It would be nice if the watering gave some sort of feedback as to what it was doing (is it actually doing anything?). Based on just this small concept, I could see this growing into a much larger bonsai-style game where you have to water and prune your plant(s) in various ways to get them to grow into desirable shapes. Really cool little concept!

This is so good! You did the meditative experience very well. It's nice to see a relaxing experience after a while.

As a physics simulation, it does its job very well to the theme surprisingly. (I got my whole plant fallen down and I have to start over and that makes me say "oh noooooo") It's pretty nice to see this little plant go into a very blooming tree~!

The only problem that is the roots takes too much space and I don't see anything going on with them except growing. So maybe adjust the camera a bit higher so I can admire the plant itself more.

Thank you for this experience it soothes me a lot.

Really enjoyed the whole experience, the purpose of 'cutting' the roots and plant parts was a little unclear, though it may have just been a tool in the sandbox rather than an actual thing you need to do to help the plant prosper. Loved the aesthetic and sound!

This plant has so much character the way the branches dangle down before growing strong enough to reach upwards. Really impressive L-System with varying branch thickness and leaf sizes, you even put in flowers too! :sunflower:

I like this nice idea, reminds me of the "game" Flower where you also interact with plants as the "nature" and nothing really is the goal :-)

Really cool physics simulation, I was surprised that the tree would eventually blossom. Really nice detail.

Once I cut down all the leaves of my tree, three or four new roots began to grow deeper in the ground than my original plant and nothing ever came out of them. Is that supposed to happen?

I like your name - Death by Snail - very fitting :-)

Very relaxing, though it took my tree a long time before it finally stood up. It just flopped over right off the bat and had trouble standing, it was a bush for most of its life.

More of a experience than the game but I like it. Managed to grow some flowers even when I didn't quite knew what I was doing :)

Very nice and relaxing, though there's not that much of a point but it's hypnotic anyways. Oddly similar to this https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/a-day-in-granple-bees-garden , wonder if the 2 devs had anything to do with each other.

My plant just wants to lay on the ground :shrug: I'm certainly growing a vine :thinking:

Really relaxing experience :3 and the music makes everything even better, very well done.

togimaro 2020-04-30 21:05

Fun experience! I really liked the dynamic music, it's a really great idea and it works perfectly!

My tree looks great ahah! Tree.png

Nice game!

Plantasia is a tropical greenhouse and nursery in the heart of the city. It’s located on the corner of Elizabeth Street and Chapel Street, where it has been for over 30 years. You have to [show details](https://www.essayontime.co.uk/editing/) about the online writers before I hire them for my essay.
