Nice little game. There's a simple and understandable loop with an interesting selection of characters and levels.
nice game play but in the first try i dont know what the game about, the art remind me about mario game ☕🗿
I love pixel art! It took me a while to figure out how to play but after that, the game is interesting and challenging. Congrats!
This is *really* good.
The pixel art work is amazing and this literally feels like I could have been playing an NES game. Very polished with a nice progression in difficulty.
I have one minor gripe: when the sunflower gets to the top of the screen, it becomes difficult to get it watered without hitting your head / losing track of your character. It just feels a little bit cramped. Otherwise perfect!
Great pixel art but i was a bit confused on what to do
Wow! Incredible game! Most innovative game I've seen in 35 years!
Impressive amount of good looking pixel art, especially the introduction scene.
The gameplay itself is somewhat basic though, and at times a bit tedious due to enemies getting stuck in places where you need to get through.
I am also not entirely sure where the theme of the gamejam is applied, but that may be on me!

Amazing art direction in this game, I could look at it all day!
Great game, the controls are extremely tight and nice, I feel like it could've fit the theme a little more but I also might just be blind to what your trying to say. Great game though
Such a fun and simple game. It was fun seeing new bizarre enemies after you complete a level. Good job!
This is amazing! It reminds me of an old retro Nintendo game! I don't remember what it was! But a very good implementation!
bubble bobble
yes!! That one!!
I really loved this! The fact that you can't die and restart makes the game far less frustrating than it could have been. The platforming felt solid and easy to get the hang of. Fantastic job on the intro and outro panels, and the ending was *chef's kiss* extremely satisfying. Nice work :)!
Excellent game! Great balance on the level of challenge. A little too much intro story for my taste, but i am impatient :-) and it was worth the wait to enjoy the game play. Really liked the ending when beating the game!
A very simple platformer that turned out to be more fun then I expected. Loved the variants of each enemy type and the overall story was lovable
I also loved that falling through the bottom transported you to the top.
One thing though is it got pretty dark at the end and was difficult to find my player.
This was great! I loved the penguins slamming into the wall, I'm not sure why there were penguins and space ships but it was fun. I loved that you didn't die but instead lost water, it turned a would be frustrating game into a blast to play! I love the concept and the art is a nice theme even if a bit rough.
PS I don't think there's any game that it's a bad idea to through in a dragon!
This was an interesting twist on the theme. It wasn't a perfect game but I found myself refusing to stop until I beat it, so I was definitely engaged throughout. I do have some minor feedback.
Here are my suggestions
I would try these tweaks to make the game, but nonetheless its a very solid, beautiful, and well put together game.
This felt like an old school arcade game that actually wanted you to win.
I was smiling the whole time!
