I really like the visuals and music, and I think the core mechanic of 3 weathers/3 flowers/3 inventory slots with the fireflies is a great starting point. I thought the game could have benefited from the ability to zoom out the view and from a little bit more strategy (I did play on easy mode in fairness). Overall, really nice.
Thanks for your feedback! I was also skeptical of having to manually water each plant; we started the game off with a full populated garden of planted seeds for demo purposes, but the original plan was to start you with nothing planted and have automated systems/people you could hire to save you some time on that. By the time you ended up having that many plants, you would be able to afford those. Plus, not every plant requires watering every day. The whole over/underwatering, bugs, scent, etc dynamic is something we meant to expand on more and would play heavily into the crossbreeding mechanic and I agree that these ideas are core to the challenge of the game. Thanks, for playing!
