Such a relaxing game! The artwork instantly hooked me. Took me a bit to realize that from level 2 on I need to click at the top instead of confirming at the bottom, but once I got that, I worked my way up to the leaf blower! Super fun — even if a few flowers might’ve turned into… compost along the way :D Lovely entry!
Some aspects of the controls could be improved, but overall everything works smoothly The game feels cohesive despite the time constraints
With some calm music and a bit of sfx, it would have been a perfect experience. It is so satisfying to gather all leaves together, love it ! :two_hearts: Good Job !!! :wink:

It's very cozy, but there's not enough music. It looks very cute!

I loved the aesthetic and the vibe, though i did struggle to get started. It took me a while to figure out being gentle is the key and that the trash can in the corner is merely a red herring. The pile collection percentage text was in cyrillic despite choosing english. I went straight for the leaf blower but my clicks didn't seem to register - after next level I noticed I had a negative 13000 balance. Oops! Solid amount of gameplay for a jam game, the main mechanic is quite unique.

the art style is so attractive, love the idea of sweeping the falling leaves. but a little confused about how to play... maybe can polish the tutorial in the future

Nice! The leaf blowing, sweeping and collecting was fun! Quite a lot of menu/level selection, which kind of distracted from the gameplay a bit.

I love your game’s art style! It might be even more fun if each round had a time limit~
Наконец-то, симулятор простой женской мечты уволиться из офиса и пойти работать дворником!! графика очень прикольная, да и геймплей порадовал своей расслабляющей меланхоличностью
Great game! Sadly I was not able to hear any music our sound effects, I don't know what went wrong. The rakes were sometimes very jittery and hard to control, and I would have liked some more challenge with problem solving. With these mechanics there is endless possibilities for puzzles. Loved the art, very cozy!
The game is very cute and relaxing. Would go great as a mobile game.
Graphics is very atmospheric. I couldn't hear any music unfortunately. I also didn't understand how to pick leaves for the herbarium - I tried clicking but nothing happened. It could be because I was playing from the touchpad. But the rest of the game was alright.

I really liked the art style of this game. The physics of leaves was so cute!
Really loved this game, the idea is perfect for theme and the execution is perfect. The gameplay is simple but it feels so good to use the tools and the feeling, when you push the leaves around is ultra nice. Well done :)
Took me a bit to figure out exactly what to do. Clicking on the next plot of land to advance was not clear, but I intuitively figured it out. There seems to be a few glitches. I had not bought anything yet but after playing the first 2 levels a few times to earn money, I tried to buy the leafblower, but everything was already purchased? Then I left the shop menu, came back to it, and was then able to buy the leafblower.
The leafblower mechanic of pushing the leaves around with the circle was pretty fun. I really dig the 2D handpainted look of the artwork! Would have been nice to have even basic sounds for interacting with the leaves or music or ambient wind or something for audio. Unless that was a bug, but I didn't notice any audio at all.
Pretty clever use of game mechanics for a little collect-a-thon puzzle game. Very chill, well done!
Thank you all for the feedback.
