Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • I like the idea and I love more relaxing games. I would have loved for some fail states though other than missing drops. Like having pesticide drops to watch out for or soemthing.
  • I like the idea, but I could not reliably catch the drops. Every time I clicked or hit spacebar (even when spamming it) in the web player, it seemed like sometimes they would splat and sometimes they would just pass right by.

Very funny to see growing this little flower, maybe a bit to easy and without goal but still cool :)

this is a solid base. touch controls for mobile and more varied challenges would definitely make this game something worth working on even after the jam. it's simple, but satisfying.

Good choices for sounds, and it’s nice how you can sorta sync up the timing with the music

Nice relaxing game! I like the concept and I think it fits well the theme of the jam, and also the soun effects are on point! Great work!

A nice game to relax at the end of the day. I had a few issues with the game not always reacting to my mouse input, but despite this problem, it was fun to play.  Good job !

Hey :D
A nice relaxing game, it's pretty easy to survive! Maybe, you could add some things that the flower does not want to eat! ;)
Great idea anyway :)

very relaxing, cool little gameplay. I just didn't understand the difference between blue and yellow spots? I may have missed an info

Yellow spots make the flower way bigger and give more points. I'm glad you liked the game thought

Really cool! Very relaxing to play, just occasionally frustrating when the flower won't suck up those delicious juices! XD

haha I really enjoyed playing! The music was nice to jam to while playing made the clicks feel like they were following the beat of the music.

Nice game! I loved how the flower grew and shrank in size as you collected water, I always love it when games play with scale like that. The bonus points for getting it in the centre were a great addition, and they encouraged you to play risky - wait to get more points, but potentially miss some others going by at the same time - I liked that mechanic! My final score was 4575, I think, though that might be cause the score didn't reset between plays, not that I'm complaining  about having a higher score! Good work!
