I can't really play because itch.io's auto size cuts off the (I'm assuming) essential UI :(

Thanks @ivorius for the note :)
This game is clipping badly on my computer for some reason. (Web version on Chrome/Windows) EDIT: Fixed it by running it full screen.
Definitely a breath of fresh air after all of the complicated games I've had to try to figure out, surprised to find an interactive short novel. Managed to get every one but Ivy on my first try.
Good job on your first try!
Well done folks. I liked the artwork and humor
PS: Full screen seems to resolve the clipping issues. at least, it did for me PPS: Ivy is best plant.
A cute, silly and kinda steamy take on the theme! Loved the cute plants. Nice work :)
Very nice for your first entry! I thought your take on the theme was very clever and unexpected, and your dialog was quite charming!
That being said, can you edit your game to be in the Jam category, not the Compo? Compo games are meant to be solo efforts, and I think there's a new rule against AI art in Compo as well.
Leaf me alone haha
First Try :)

Fullscreen also worked for me for the itch.io cropping.
Seconding a note that this is not a compo entry, but a jam, not the end of the world though. I liked the dialog choices and it was certainly an interesting take.
Cute idea. Very well written dialogues! Music is quite nice as well. An issue: if you click on a non-button dialog and the next one has buttons, the next button gets pressed during the same click! Overall nice entry, but I thought the ending was a bit anticlimactic.
I appreciate the work that went into this, but did not find the story to be my cup of tea. I didn't find the dialogue made much of an impact, and the dialogue options didn't seem too interesting. But I can see you put a lot of craftsmanship into this and i appreciate that!
The dialogues were pretty funny, and the plants all had very different personalities. Unfortunately, the web version had some weird cropping that made it hard to read.
A wholesome game with a bit of a bite at the end! Great work on crafting three unique characters! Congrats on finishing your first ludum dare, this is a great entry! Thanks for making such a charming, tender game and for sharing it with us.
A really cute and short game with funny and charming characters! This was a really refreshing take on a theme that pushed most people into farming games so was a lovely break! I love that it has the replayability of the different responses from the plants too. Amazing job for a first game and well done! No jam game is ever perfect (if it is, they weren't ambitious enough haha) so I'm glad to hear you're happy with the results but don't feel like you need disclaimer :P xx
Nice game. I got them all to allow me to harvest them. I did miss one dialogue though because I clicked forward to the next part in the same area that a button appeared and that made me accidentally select that button. So perhaps it would be nice to ensure that buttons can't be clicked the first parts of a second that they are shown. And that they aren't only triggered by button up, but require button down on them first too.
What else do you need to know about online dating?

And it's an experience—not a quickie, not a rubdown, not a place to come https://theyou.com/w/haircuts when you're stressed out. A dip in the spa is time–out. It's indulgence. It's permission to have everything taken care of and leave nothing unfinished or half done.
