I like the idea behind it! Seems pretty hard but I'm sure I was just pretty unlucky haha

How does your game fit the theme?
This game is about the cycle of failure and learning – looping over the same process to get better a little bit each time!

An interesting take on the concept of trial and error! I liked the different plant art, but after several attempts I didn't manage to get a success result before I probably broke the game with one too many attempts. I'd like to see this as a more mature concept, though! The plant art is brilliant, and the little animations give it lots of flair!
It's interesting, but for some reason it's hard for me to repeat what's in the picture, although I experimented with one plant, I liked the drawing, as well as the idea itself, it's a pity that there are no sounds, it would be even better, but the theme matches the gamejam, so it's not bad
Hello fellow plant game jammer! This is a fun game with nice art, it is almost like a memory game trying to track down the correct process. I am confused on what the phase 2 water amount is though, I only see a water amount for phase 1?
Thanks for playing! Actually each phase has a separate recipe but using the same buttons. So you can choose the water amount for phase 1, and choose another amount for phase 2 (using the same buttons) and it will have different effects. It’s one of the things I wish I could properly explain in-game but I didn’t have the time, I will definitely add an interactive tutorial after the jam.
The art is very nice! It is a bit tough to play without any music or sfx. Consider adding any free asset when you get a chance to make it more full experience. Nice jamming!
had to read through the description to understand that some things hadnt been implemented, I love these, decode the solution through trail and error type games, I just wish there were more visual feedback to confirm my inputs, but this was addressed already by the dev. cool game!
I loved the concept! It looking the same but still has a little difference was a bit frustrating.
