really humorous minigame

A good sense of humor in this one! While normally I would like nice crisp visuals as things scale, it really enhances the experience here. I did feel rushed, but it made the pacing feel more like a Mario Party minigame.

The game is really funny!

Loved the scales of plants and the writing (even if I would prefer havinng 5-10 sec in additionn to not have to rush the reading ^^")

Love how, at the end you only see the tptoe of the plants lol

Great job !

I got a good laugh out of this one. It's cool how much personality you can give plants by their reactions to dialogue choices without having any lines themselves.

Simple and hilarious, I love it.

I feel Himawary on a higher level.

That's what jams are for!! Super well done :)

Adorable game, love the doki doki literature vibes. The sentences were a bit long for me to decide in a few seconds, and I struggled to figure out what to do when I decided. But it was very cute!

Cute story game!

My fears of spontaneous combustion have been realized. Love the character designs and dialogue

Full of charm and humor! The concept of cultivating the plants growing out of a loved one's grave is inspired. The ending picture of The One for Me really made me laugh - that's not how I thought she'd look based on the silhouette 😂

I was so happy with this comment because that was the intended reaction with The One's design lol. Glad you liked it!!

Game and the main mechanic is obviously based on Ddlc and the poem minigames. And I love it!

Good name,
Really cool interpretation of the topic.

This was an interesting take on the theme and I'm glad that I managed to grow all the plants high enough. The way that you were able to combine such a heavy theme such as grieve with humour worked really well. There were a lot of interesting dialogue choices and I liked how some of the options were written in emojis / Japanese, though I struggled to read them all during the time-limit.
