- Very relaxing and wholesome game!
- A creative take on the theme with the idea of time moving forward! Inevitably with clicker games, gameplay isn't the most entertaining, and I wish there was more output from making purchases to make that wait more satisfying and worth it. Very cute design that could be expanded with some refinement! =)
How does the game fit into the theme?
The game revolves around a plant that wants sunlight. It must... keep moving forward... to reach the sun. Even trampling little baby plants along the way :3
What premade assets did you use if any?
None - everything was made custom for the game.

Hi, I'm hedge one of your judges! Played at https://twitch.tv/hedge_in at 5:19:00 <3 (Part 2)
Great take on an idle incremental game! The pace felt a bit slow at the start to me, but it ramped up nicely over time. I really liked how the sound changed when the sun was shining on the plant, but I felt that I didn't have much input or control at al. Most idle games have some form of interaction other than buying upgrades, but this game doesn't - it's understandable, though, and the game is perfectly okay without!
It's a very cool and unique idea. How could such a thing come to mind?)
I especially like the music that comes out when the sun is shining on a flower.
Well, the joke at the end is funny, considering how many games are in this gamejam and I'm trying to review everything)
Hey! Interesting concept of a moving sunflower. I guess you might be interested to try out my game which is also inspired by nature. I liked your game. Cheers!
A unique take on the incremental style gameplay while still keeping in line with the theme! Well done. I also went ahead and touched grass :).
this is really good, I think there could have been more smaller incremental leaves upgrades, instead of just the 2 big upgrades because I think that would give it more of a thoughtful choice when upgrading, but other than that it is perfect! Great work
Great game, love the ending I really should go
Touch mine too! haha
This is a really cool idle game, and the way you made it fit into the theme was great.
Game play is fun, I'm not usually into the incremental genre but you did a great job with the pacing.
Clever use of theme, and I had fun upgrading everything. I think it could have been more clear as to what things do, and I think you can achieve that by changing the sprites up when something was upgraded (what did "leaves" do? etc). Otherwise I love how simply and effectively you made this. Well done.
This is probably one of the most creative idle games I've ever played. Super intuitive and I wish that I was able to somehow keep playing. It like was very satisfying but I was hoping that the game wouldn't end when I maxed everything out and it did :(
Agreed that it's a lovely idle game. No boring clicks! The timing was really nice.
You obviously know how to make amazing games, and this is no exception. I'm a sucker for sound design and you've implemented it greatly, you had me itching to hear the music while the sun is on the plant continue. Overall a very polished and well made game, I don't think there's anything I can say to improve.
I kind of see how it fits the theme because the plant gets up and keeps moving toward the sun but, its kind of vague. Gameplay wise it was really fun, but i didnt like how it just ended and you couldnt continue more
Really unique interpretation, feels good to play and the art is pretty cohesive! It would have been nice a little less linear gameplay.
Great job! The concept was really cool. I also made a game—it's a gym-themed platformer with some chaos. Hope you give it a try!
I loved the game, it's very original and fun. I really liked the detail of the music, how it is unlocked little by little as you progress through the improvements. It's a great job overall, congratulations! :D
This was awesome.
the music while only in the sun made it very addicting. lovely little game!
Really like the mix of UI and the game here! Simple idea but executed really really well.
Wasn't clear at first what the different upgrades do, but when I figured it out it became relatively easy to win.
Also, you can't force me to touch grass xD.
Good job!
little game but very fun! And the end is hilarious. One of the best games :3
