Controls should be explained better, and as others have said: Sounds and music are really missing. Definitely a solid foundation though and visually very nice.

Nice idea, at first I was a bit lost but then I read in the comments that those pictures on the walls were actually buttons. For me the performance was a bit problematic but it was fun playing nevertheless. Lots of potential here!

Good job, I had fun gardening, solid foundation to build upon.

Nice foundation but its still a bit empty...

I only had a few days to work on it before I had to go on a trip but now, I am back adding new content until at least the end of the game jam. Any suggestions are welcome!

Well if you want my 2 cents
1. add some soundFX (unless they just bugged out on me) - I made the same mistake with my first game
2. have the plants not just differnt times to grow but also different multiplyer for how much you earn - more expensive takes longer but gives like 2,5 times - so you have not only the cost but also the time to consider for your best option
3. another shop with tool (add growthspeed multiplyer if you first treat the soil or groth burst if you water the plants)
4. add another shop with electric stuff like different growlights(colourcoded) for different plant
5. add a "bedroom" whith a desk where you can research plants so that you have a little spreadsheet that gets filled in (that lights helps that plant but hinders this other one - that plant needs more water and that one dies if you water it too much...etc you get the idea)
just of the top of my head

check out my game ;-) and leave me some comments and critiques

I was thinking about making to so you can drop seeds off to her to get a refund, but you can use to buttons on the wall to purchase more seeds. right now she is just for scenery.

Nice controls. How do i get more seeds?

If you head down to the hallway, you can buy them in the first room to the left by clicking on the buttons on the wall.

Definitely more fun than actual gardening 🤣 Looks great. Good luck
