Had fun, loved figuring out the rules of the game. Definitely would enjoy this being expanded, with combos and bgm added!! :D

Great game, with great innovation and simple rules, simple and fun

Amazing game! Simple (in a good way) and very fun.

Ingenious game! I like the graphics and sounds. I think it has a lot of potential (especially as a mobile game)

Great take on the theme! The game is pretty simple once you figure it out but very polished and easy to understand. Good job.

Not as easy as it seems in the first look. Nice one

Ukrainian word catched me! Simple, but fun to play. Both gameplay and graphics are cute and relaxing. It's just perfect. Simple and perfect :D

Cool game! Not really intuitive to play at first, but really fun to play once you get the gist of it.

Good job!

Fun little match game! Would have been nice to have something to work towards with the score.

It's an enjoyable casual game. The mechanism may be overly simple, but the jam is severe. In a nutshell, congratulations on your accomplishment.

Nice game! SFX were really effective at making it feel snappy and responsive, it felt pretty solid as a puzzle and never felt particularly unfair or annoying.

I loved the weed mechanic as that forced you sometimes to make tough decisions about what to use, knowing that if you didn't deal with it you'd be closer to losing the game as it takes extra space, but also knowing that wasting water on it hoping for a scythe would be risky as well.

Overall, well thought-out mechanics, cleverly implemented and that all resulted in a simple, effective gameplay loop. A soundtrack would do *wonders* in this to further the atmosphere. Also loved the use of Ukranian as it made it feel much more genuine and rooted.

Would work *great* as a mobile game.

That was a neat little puzzle game. The rules were intuitive but I think there needs to be a little more agency to prevent you from getting stuck and ending the game.

The hints were very useful. Personally, I believe gamejams bring cultures together, having game development as a common passion so thank you for including the little trivia for the game title! Art is very good as well and it is very polished.

The game becomes a breeze once you figure out things. And it's nice that you draw upon Ukrainian traditions.

Cute little game with a well polished feel. I particularily like that the controls are very straight forwards and very intuitive. Well done!
