WOW. Just WOW. I love this SO much. :O <3

I love the simplistic palette and art style. It's so effective. The environment and atmosphere... and just level of immersiveness that you've managed to create with such a simplistic style is so impressive.

I felt so bad for 'little bud' every time I failed him. :( 

So much emotion and sense of story in this entry.

I also liked how you took the idea of 'loop' to also give the player a chance to figure things out each 'cycle'. Like each time I lost the plant, I was sad, but there was also an equal 'Aha' moment of discovery.

I think my only note of feedback was I didn't know how much health I had. I loved that I had to keep choosing to fight the bugs or shade my plant, and I had to keep going back and forth in that stressful moment, but then I died suddenly and had to restart again, and at that point, didn't feel like getting the water again. :-[] :,-( So I didn't continue.

Overall, really really well done.

Wow, I got some closure in the end (I think it was the end :D). Very beautiful and rare work for game just, imo. Loved art and soothing sound to the utmost degree.

What a cute game!! Love it. The presentation is gorgeous. Great job!

As for my feedback, the last thing you have to do is a bit too unexpected/sudden, so it's hard to be sure as a player that that is the intended route. Maybe the solution would be to make the player take care of both themselves and the plant across multiple days, until one day there are not enough resources for both of them, and the player has to make a difficult decision. 

Apart from the obvious similarity to Minit, I'd also like to draw some comparison to The Stillness of the Wind. 

Once again, well done! Making a game in such a short span of time is a feat and you nailed it. :)

this was super cute! I loved the art and the choice to only give the plant colour :)

i got a little confused how to stop the weather, but i decided to just stop it with my little guy and that turned out to be the right choice! and i'd do it again for my little bud!

the style of this was also super neat, i really liked how you framed it :)

Great little game, fantastic work!

Love the vibe of the game, I ended up sacrificing myself for the lil seed and I'd do it again!

A melancholy little take on the theme - love the Minit inspiration, and well done on picking up aseprite for the jam! This is a neat solo entry that has a lot of love behind it. I agree with the comment below that maybe things could be a little clearer for first time players, but that's definitely something you could add in after the jam period if you wished.

Really cute game with a nevertheless sad vibe 🌱🌱

Woow! This is super cool! The minimalist monochrome pixel art style à la Minit works wonderfully well! It's super cute and I love the overall vibe! Congratulations on this work!

This is a charming little game with a concept that's kind of heartbreaking if you really think about it. I think you can gleam a lot from environmental storytelling, like how the player has to repurpose a satellite dish for shade and how generally rundown everything looks. The ending is also rather bittersweet in my opinion. I do wish the game was longer, but it's not a big deal considering we all only had 96 hours to make our games. Well done :)

This is a very cute little game, and the artwork is just so incredibly charming! Unfortunately, I found the gameplay itself a bit tedious. I might be a bit dense, but the game really did not make progression obvious and so I spent a while watching bars drain while just wandering around wondering what I was missing. The battle mechanics also didn't feel great, especially since at first I wanted to keep the plant shaded as much as possible and so I often was close enough to the plant while attempting to hit a bug that I just put the shade down again instead of striking. A health bar would also have been helpful for that part of the game.

I also still haven't figured out what you're supposed to do on the second day - getting water got me the message that it helped a little, but then I could never water the plant again, because I could only ever interact with the shade after that despite picking up more water. I could not actually move the shade such that it blocked the wind, either. I tried smacking all the buildings and am out of ideas, and redoing that day over and over again eventually just got frustrating.

Overall, the game is really cute and it's clear you put a lot of love into it! I just don't think the progression is obvious enough to someone who hasn't spent the last 96 hours on it. I really hope you go back sometime to give some more hints to dense people like me as to where to go, because I really do want little bud to grow strong and prosper!
