Pretty fun physics gimmick, but the pacing feels a bit sluggish. Between waiting for the water to drip and just kinda, waiting for the stem to pull behind me, it felt less like a puzzle game and more like sort of an incremental game with puzzle elements. 
Overall, It was pretty enjoyable tho, the music and sounds are nice, and it wasn't quite annoying to play, just a little slow. Thanks for making!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! appreciate the honesty about pacing, thats something i definitely want to work on for future projects. glad u still found it enjoyable despite the sluggish feel!

It's an interesting idea, but it needs more implementation. 

The same expectation of dripping water — it just feels like a chore when you sit and wait for it to finally end.

It seems to me that the problem is precisely that the player does not have any penalty for sitting and collecting water for too long (although this is what the game intended). It would be possible to make a simple water saturation system that would kill the player, but then you would have to redo all the levels to meet the new rules.

And I kept waiting for the physicality of the flower to finally play a role, for example, that I would need to entangle some lever and pull it down to blow up the door (because all doors in this game explode).

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! yup, it is kinda dull. i could have done a lot better job on it

Submitted

very cute idea and good colour choices. something was up with the web build where the transitions were offset and i could see ‘outside’ the stage, but it didn’t prevent playing

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! yeah, i couldnt find a way to fix that. xd

Submitted

Cool concept! Moving a flower with the mouse is fun. Also, the visuals were simple and clean. Waiting for the water to fall and for the plant to grow took a while and killed a lot of the pace of the game, although the idea is still fun. Also, I felt the level design was a bit plain and didn't offer much challenge, though I feel like this can be improved with a little iteration. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! i agree that pacing is a lil bit off, it was my first time a making level-based game so yeah, i have a lot to learn yet!

Submitted

Awesome idea!

Movement is a bit funky, but in a good way :D

I bet you could go much further with this concept, how about a level where pressing buttons moves the pot around?

Absolutely keep up the good work!

Developer

Thank u! thats a great idea! i actually considered making it more platformer-like? giving the pot legs so it could move around but eventually i decided to stick with the pot being static

Submitted

Sounds like an awesome idea and really funny, too!

Submitted

I like the movement of the flower and how it ‘pops’ when it grows. Watering the flower is a cool concept that fits the theme well. I think it would be interesting if there were a level that required you to grow it to a certain size.

Developer

Thanks for playing! glad u enjoyed the movement and that growth pop, it would be interesting, tho imo smashing buttons is way more engaging!

Submitted

Such a fun game, really cool!!

Developer

Thanks!!

Submitted

Cool game! The mechanic of controlling the flower is really fun, and I also really liked the animation the plant does when you beat a level lol, it’s super entertaining.

Developer

Thanks for playing! really appreciate the feedback, glad that u enjoyed that little level completion scene!

Submitted

I certainly enjoyed making a flower grow taller!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! glad u liked it :)

Submitted

I liked this. Controlling the flower felt great, although I felt like a lot of the game was just waiting for the flower to grow bigger.

Developer

Thanks for playing! really appreciate the feedback about pacing, ill update it after the voting ends and make growing lil faster

Submitted

I never knew smashing buttons with your head could be so satisfyin

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! thats what i was aiming for :) glad u liked it!

Submitted (1 edit)

music is great and the level complete part where the plant falls is always fun to see.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! those little moments were fun to add!

Submitted

really cool mechanic, i feel like im controlling a snake

Developer

Thanks! the rope physics were definitely meant to feel unique!
