How does your game fit the theme?
The game was born from the idea of an endless, looping cycle of work in the life of a gardener gnome. Stuck in never-ending garden labor, the player needs to cycle through tools that loop in action to survive, creating a rhythmic pattern of obstacle, decision, reaction, repeat.

Cute animations and art, and a cool concept with a smooth execution. Great Job!
Sucha cute and funny game! Loved playing it, it looks amazing and the way the gnome just flops over when you lose made me laugh out loud. Great game!
The art style is so cute! Felt like playing through a childrens book. The game starts off quite fast. Maybe a bit more of a difficulty ramp would have been nice. thank you for making and sharing this cute game <3
Tha cat was so difficult to react to lol. That was the one that got me almost every time (the other times I would die to flowers because I was too aware of the cat).
The art and animations in this game are gorgeous! Props to the art team!
Cool game! This gnome feels pretty powerful ;)
Really cool artwork and I really do love the animations!
Well done :D
Love the art！(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
Very simple game, but well executed. I'm just left wondering if the watering can was intended to remove another kind of obstacle, and later it was discarded or something like that. Regardless, nice job 👍
Thank you for a newly developed fear of cats... Dig the artstyle and animations! gameplay-wise I think the cat is unfair because it is not telegraphed at all like other enemies. Cool game!
Really cute game and the animations are so nice :D
Lovely looking game! Animations are on point for sure. I think a more gradual difficulty curve would really benefit this game, mostly for the cat which is quite tough to counter even when anticipating it. As the game continues, the time the player has to react could be shortened perhaps. My best score was 26
Really liked it! Such a cute concept for a little time waster
Such an adorable game! It really puts my reflexes to the test!🐷🔥
Absolutely loved it! It’s beautiful, engaging, and there’s a cat paw what more could you want? Perfect!
This game is amazing! It's beautiful, fun, and incredibly addictive. Everything is very well done, with intuitive controls and stunning graphics. The audio is also excellent. What's really cool is that, after a while, you start getting tense and use the blower to keep the cat away. I didn't realize the watering can also gave points, that's such a nice detail. I really enjoyed playing it!
Very fun and enjoyable game, I like it a lot!
Cute game! simple to learn and really addictive, love it!
Ha! Love that!!! So cute! Thank you so much for playing
oh this is so cute, I love the gnome’s “done with everything” expression the timing is a little too tight sometimes, other than that it’s a really effective concept!
Just love this fairy tale like art style, super cute awwwww just love it :3
