Im sorry that i didnt really feel this this game fit to well to this jam. maybe it was just me but i hope you guys still try to make this game better after and make some improvements on how the game can be more different to play
pretty game, relaxing! An indicator of what you have selected could be helpful, as well as possibly an in game tutorial?
Nice idea, but it seems a bit boring, maybe add a preview of what you can place and growing plants?
The music was fire though :D
Only thing you can do is spin 2 dials and one of them does nothing. Are you supposed to wait until something grows? What are the controls? Maybe add a tutorial and more info to the Game Page :)

I agree with what the other comments have said. I couldn't figure out what to do or what the goal is.

Like all the other comments, it's very complicated to understand what you have to do. I've managed to place elements somewhat randomly, but without any real effect.
You can edit your game page to say what needs to be done and the purpose of the game. Even if all the features aren't present, it doesn't matter, it's still a game jam and you've got to enjoy it :)
I was eventually able to figure out that clicking on rocks/plants and then clicking on a space in the vivarium would place it there, I was unsure of what else to do. Could benefit from some visual indicator of what actions are available/action you are taking (i.e. when clicking a rock/plant, highlight it or give a pseudo-inventory to show that the player is holding it) cute art and fun song though!
I did not manage to do anything but click to place some objects in the vivarium, given there is water and light regulation i feel like im missing some part of the game. you should add a tutorial :)
