Good game to heal my tired heart after the jam!

My fruits are growing tooooo fast

Very complex for such a short time to make, hats off to you! The only thing that I found weird is the FPS view and the tools resembling guns, gave me the opposite vibe of the soothing music. PS: Love the fact that you can actually watch the plants grow!

Solid game, unique idea. Enjoyed it, great work!

This is a really cool idea. I thought of something similar with tomatoes because I know they have a pattern that you should use to prune them. I found it hard to figure out where I should prune the bonsai and when the fruits are of good quality. Other than that very cute game.

@diesdas that's actually great feedback! To be honest, not sure where I was going with the gun-tools, maybe a little too much slime rancher influence. Thanks for the comments!

Raising bonsais are never easy: not in game, nor in real life.

Very relaxing game

Very relaxing and pleasant, nice work.

Wow! Very cool and relaxing :) I like how one can choose to play the game slow or fast depending on how many plants to manage. There are some situations in which it is hard to click on the right part of the plant but this is also the case in reality so maybe not a problem :D

Nice chill game, althought I would love more conflict, like having to spray bugs or cutting bad branches.

@binaryprinciple really like the idea of cutting bad branches, spraying bugs was one of the things I planned to include but I ran out of time

A very nice game, it was fun to play for a bit and I really like the idea, although some parts of the UI were awkward - 3s in the font looked like 8s and the overlapping hit-regions made it tricky to click some things. I'm glad the timer was so slow - it would be hard to learn the game properly under time pressure.

Nice and relaxing game. It's quite easy to understand and play, although the fruit harvesting seems to have some bugs with detecting some of the fruits sometimes.

Relaxing, indeed. A few bugs with fruits that do not seem to be harvestable, but nothing critical. Can we really shape the trees by cutting the "good" branches?

Congratulations for this game!

juanrod707 2023-01-20 12:02

@loig thanks for the kind words. You can't shape the trees but the stat modifications actually happen, one of the features I couldn't finish because of time was displaying the tree stats in the bottom panel. But the progression works
