Great job on your first submission! I liked the dancing flowers. As others have said, I think having a slider for audio volume would be great. I also found a bug where if you quit, it won't let you press play to start again. Maybe also having a better indication of the watering hitbox would help for first-time playing! Well done :) 

Developer

I definitely on adding audio sliders. Maybe the next time I join a wild jam! I discovered that bug while watching Dr. Squawk's livestream. I wanted to fix it, but it's just a small bug and doesn't affect much of the gameplay.

Thanks for the feedback!!

I like the concept! But I feel like the death minigame was a bit boring. Also I would make the watering can fill up faster.  Also make it so that the base flowers can't be target flowers. It was still pretty fun!

Developer

I agree the death mini game is boring. I planned to have bombs fall down that make you lose suns, but I forgot about it since I had so many things going on in my life😂.

Thank you for the wonderful suggestions🐱.

This is an interesting idea! I think you managed to get the timing to feel right, allowing you to try some different combinations, but having to dig it up and restart with the shovel if you over fertilize. Did you use Chrome Music Lab for the music? I really love messing around on that site:) Nice work!

I did infact used chrome music lab! Thank you for the feedback.

Great concept, and I like the silly faces on the flowers! It's cool that you're able to change the instrument of the music (synth is my favorite), I haven't seen that done on any other submission. That said, I think audio sliders would have been helpful because I found the sound effects to be rather loud.

Developer (1 edit)

I made the music on a website that provided me with 5 instruments. I couldn't choose which instrument I'd go with since on it all sounded good, so I just added it in as an option.

I tried to implement the sliders but it was late and I have to wake up early the other day lol😂.

Thank you so much!

Great job on doing your own art and music!

Good art, a few bugs and slightly confusing mechanics, but I enjoyed it!

The water doesn't seem to refill when its very close to empty (but not totally)? I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but it'd have been nice if you could use it at will, even if half full.


Really enjoyed being able to change the music and the fertilizer combinations :)

Developer

I had trouble syncing the water left variable with the progress bar, so I kind of cheated😅. Also, I did infact made it not selectable if it wasn't full yet because I wanted the a wait time to implement the ZZZ... wild card.

Thanks for the feedback! 😃

Cool, love your art.

woah i never seen an option to change the version of music in a game!
this game is really addictive once you figure out what fertilizers to use!

I think I know the website where you made the songs, because there were these 5 instruments and you could just switch through them. Cool idea to include that as an option. I watered a plant in the game but unfortunately I didn't understand the soil and shovel thing.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks for the feedback! The soil is just there for you to plant the seed in and the shovel is there for when there is no more water in the plant (decaying it). The website was https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Song-Maker🤫

Yes, this is the website I was talking about :D
I used it for a 2D platformer I havn't uploaded yet.

Oh boy this was really fun!!! I played for a lot longer than I meant to lol. I think more different kinds of flowers would be fun to add. Great job on your first jam!

Developer

Thank you! 😊
