This is fun! It’s pleasant and meditative… maybe a little slow? It didn’t feel like space was my main constraint—I had tons of room to build things out in. I appreciated the depth of the gameplay though, between the tile arrangement and the shade mechanic, and having my grandma show up occasionally added some character to what could otherwise have been a little too dry (ha) of an experience. Nice work.
Great concept and intro into the game! For me personally it was a bit slow, i would have liked to have more plants at the start or just place everything at my own risk and time. But I really like the idea and mood overall!
Takes some time to get started but has surprisingly lot moving items in the end. I really liked playing your game. Great job.
Very relaxing overall; I feel that with some polishing the game could be it's own genre.
This was a fun and relaxing entry that I could definitely spend some more time with. The music was a great backdrop for the gameplay. Some of the sound effects were a little jarring but they still worked well overall. The visuals were great and the management of inventory was a nice aspect as well. Some minor nits:
* Would prefer to click once to select and then click a second time to place instead of click and drag * Early on I felt like I had way too many sprinklers and I wanted to delete them from the delivery area instead of having to place them to delete them. * Having a bridge or something to allow the pathway and waterway to intersect would make for nicer garden layouts.
Overall a really solid entry, thanks for sharing.
Refreshing and relaxing. A little bit slow at the start
Pretty cool! both the gameplay and music remind me of Simcity series which I'm a big fan of. I like how plants don't die immediately when misplaced and gives you a chance to fix those mistakes
Good game!
The game starts slow but picks up pace after a few minutes. I really like this concept!
Very nice game. The music is chill and sets a peaceful atmosphere. The only thing that broke the vibe were very loud notification noises when the queue is full or plant is dying.
I love Grandma, her garden and the game! Great job!
Great idea, and execution ! I liked the fact that new items show progressively during the game, leaving you some time to understand what's going and plan accordingly. Good entry overall. GG.
You should have a picture or something to show what this game looks like, I had no idea what to expect before playing it. Good job having so much content for a Compo game, I didn't expect that many items or variety. I played till I lost and I think I got to 42 points, the theme shows itself when you start to run out of room but like alot of other people have said the game takes too long to get going. Again, lot more depth than I was expecting and pretty fun, just slow at the beginning.
I loved it ! A bit stressfull when you have the delivery box full ! Maybe a disposal to remove unwanted item would be nice (with a cooldown ?) But it's quite nice !
really interesting mash-up of tower defense/Pipe Dream. as others have mentioned, the start is a little slow, but it does build to an interesting variety.
