Brilliant art work. I like the atmosphere in the game scene design.

Very beautiful game!

beautiful graphics and nice sounds!

The work they did on the art is incredible, I really liked the style and the combination of 2d and 3d art was very nice. I found it quite difficult to play, I think it would be necessary to add a tutorial to improve the gameplay, the light blue / green arrow does not get to see it very well. Great job! xD

I liked the art, however I feel that the game lacks explanation. It took me a long time to understand the mechanics and sometimes the arrows have bugs. Apart from that, I understood the idea, it just needs to improve the explanation.

@rocio-michi-ojeda we can't update the game anymore, but we are working on a standalone illustrated tutorial :)

arhidavid 2022-04-05 18:50

@Rionisse Well... We will be able to update it, but only after Jam ends in 16 day.

This game is really cute! Unfortunately it seemed very hard, I kept bumping into the wrong plants by accident trying to walk over to ones that were dying. I'd love if you needed to press a button so you wouldn't do that accidentally.

rionisse 2022-04-05 23:24

@kingofspill thank you for your feedback! Yeah, the game was too simple during development so we tried to make it harder. Apparently we overdid it :D

Nice looking game with some gorgeous art! Nice twist with 2d and 3d. As mentioned a couple of times, a bit hard. But as a game jam game, this is good :-D

Really like the art style and the designs for the witch and flowers. Feels very charming.

I do agree with these other comments that it is quite difficult. Including the instructions image you drew here in game and explaining the other effects like the purple clouds would've been really helpful.

The melding together of the 2D and 3D elements works really well to the point that I actually forgot the rest of the room was 3D modelled, until I came back here to rate it.

Oh my god, that artwork is absolutely incredible. Definitely the best looking game I've played so far. Ah, and the little poster on the wall, and the cat, and all the tiniest of details. Super good looking! The music is nice, and I love the sound effects. I feel like I as playing it wrong, but I was able to keep the closest plant alive essentially forever, since it's right next to the potion. It didn't matter how much I was slowed down, I could always restore the center plant. Even still, this game is outstandingly well drawn, and I wish you all the best!

Nice art and sounds, like other already said, I had trouble understanding and playing the game, everything is very fast and I'm loosing without being able to move to the flowers. Appart from that, really nice work on the mood and the universe.

ludovic 2022-04-06 19:07

Nice work ! I rly liked this one. You did a really great job and it's very beautiful with great sound design. I had some difficult to start but I also rly appreciate the game. Great Job !

Looks cute but I don't understand anything ^__^" I tried using potion but it dissapears, some violet fog slows me down and then I die... Having some text like "save the plants!" in the beggining could help. And maybe some UI reminding what our aim in the game is

paulsams 2022-04-07 12:15

Honestly... I didn't like anything. As if the default UE graphics and it were not configured at all, and from this it is difficult to evaluate the visual part. The sprites and models themselves are good, but everything related to the engine, such as: fire lighting, smoke particles, tile tiles - everything spoils my mood so much that I can't look at it, I'm sorry, heh). And the gameplay is incredibly boring, there are some obstacles that are not visible and they knock down your potion. And there is no balance either, since you can just go to the middle flower and that's it. In general, I have very ambiguous feelings - it's kind of beautiful, but the game didn't work out from everything put together.

The coolest things about this game are the music and art. But I still haven't figured out how to play it.

langotriel 2022-04-07 16:39

This might be the best looking game I have seen in the jam; easy 5 stars. Buy your artists some pizza!

spaint 2022-04-07 19:14

Artwork is great, but gameplay is lacking

gandelianna 2022-04-07 21:45

Well, I don't understand why the potion disappears when I'm on my way to the flower. Time limit or something else?

But I'm agree, that visual is adorable

Визуально прекрасная игра, но делать в ней ничего кроме как поливать зельем до бесконечности центральный цветок нечего. Два других гораздо более труднодоступны, но при этом игра никак не вознаграждает их поддержание. Подумайте над тем как это можно исправить(например за более дальний цветок давать зелье поддерживающее цветы дольше, или начислять игроку увеличенные очки(для начала ввести их правда)). Ну и очень быстро проигрываешь в начале, даже не успев толком осознать что от тебя требуется.

Тем не менее хорошая игра. Из трехмерных игр, наверное, самая красивая из тех что я видел на этом людуме.

Спасибо за игру!
