This was great! It Took me back to my Snow bros arcade days. That ending sequence was a fantastic payoff. Deserves it's own cabinet!  

Love the art style! Great sprites and animation! Music is really nice and its all very well polished with its cutscenes and story. Not sure where I see the theme being involved at all, but still quite fun.

Really cool game! Such a solid idea and well executed! The style and mechanics remind me a lot of retro arcade games like Paper Boy. Great job on the art too. The explosive ending was a nice reward. Nice touch with the shadow that characters cast on the background.

Only small thing I have for feedback is the platforms look a little out place with the other art. Not totally sure what it is. They have less detail then then the characters and background maybe?

Also, I might just need to get better, but the squids were wailing on me compared to the other stages. Even the last boss was a little easier. Still has not not super frustrating or anything though.

Great game!

This game FUCKING RULES! Cute and funny and smart and FUN TO PLAY! Connecting the sun to the sunflower is such a clever way to interpret the prompt. The music is good. The art is good. (Especially in the cut scenes. Holy shit when the sun winks at you lolololol!) Controls well. Lots of enemy types and terrain switch to keep things engaging! Loved it! Reminds me of the days I'd play flash games as a kid! 

My only gripe? The sound effect when a character hits a wall is... grating. Make it like a fun little bounce instead of tossing a cardboard box and the whole experience would feel even cleaner.

The influence from Bubble Bobble is almost palpable. What a great game!

Its a really cool game, I have some problems with dropping from the platforms, I think they could've been handled a bit better. But overall its a really good looking game, very challenging.

It reminds me of arcade games like Bubble Bobble and a ZX Spectrum game called Pssst.
It's a very fun game.

Fun and cute! Nicely done!

Good variety of levels and the whole thing felt cohesive. The timer high score board is a nice touch.

really cool game :)

I like the games with this old arcade touch :)

good job :)

great work! It is well designed , I like the pixel art and the controls for this platformer is smooth and responsive, the gameplay is fun and relaxing,  good replay value! overall I enjoyed playing ! congratulations ! keep it up!

I like how the the boy and sunflower are just smiling after burning everything lol. Really nice artwork! I actually feel like a game like this could have an HP bar, would make it a lot more rewarding to get to the top. Great work!

Nice little game. There's a simple and understandable loop with an interesting selection of characters and levels.

nice game play but in the first try i dont know what the game about, the art remind me about mario game ☕🗿

I love pixel art! It took me a while to figure out how to play but after that, the game is interesting and challenging. Congrats!

This is *really* good.

The pixel art work is amazing and this literally feels like I could have been playing an NES game. Very polished with a nice progression in difficulty.

I have one minor gripe: when the sunflower gets to the top of the screen, it becomes difficult to get it watered without hitting your head / losing track of your character. It just feels a little bit cramped. Otherwise perfect! 

Great pixel art but i was a bit confused on what to do

Wow! Incredible game! Most innovative game I've seen in 35 years!
