This game is so nice, I do like the collectible cards implementation. Made me want to earn as much to open packs! I did cry the first time I relaunched the game and found that the game didn't save my progress (at least I don't think it did)

Congrats on your game's release! It was very polished for me!

Developer

Thank you for the nice words! I deliberately designed the gameplay loop for players to easily unlock all the cards in one playthrough.

Nice! But I need tips where exactly the card goes and which tool works against which problem.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing. :) You can place the flower cards on any free field.

Submitted

But the card is larger than the field! First it was obviously, that the top left corner of the card is the place where the card goes to.

A really cool idea! I really loved playing, only a small note I would like more vfx or sound effect when planting the seeds so I can get feedback!

It's a really nice idea I really loved it! :)

Developer

Thank you for playing. :) Sadly I didn't have any time left to add sound effects.

Really liked the vibe of this game. I could see with some further polish and refinement this being a legit steam product!

Developer

Aww thank you so much! I would love to make a full game out of this some day.

Submitted(+1)

very nice, chill.

could do with some sound effects to elevate it but its already very fun

Developer

Thank you for playing. Sound effects were planned but time was short.

Submitted(+1)

Fantastic! I thought the music fit the mood perfectly. Solid amount of content too, like a whole card store to upgrade your deck. Very cool.

Developer

Thanks for playing, I'm glad I could finish the card shop. that's something I wanted in the game since the beginning.

Super cute game! Loved the cozy vibes and pixel art. Maybe having some sounds, like when planting a flower or using the water can would make it even better but really nice overall!

Developer

Sound was planned but I didn't have enough time to implement them in time. Haha
Thanks for playing.

Very cute graphics! I love the cards and planting combo

Developer

Thanks, happy to hear you like the graphics.

Submitted(+1)

So calming and relaxing I like it ^^

and playing gardening game like a TCG is really unique XD

Developer(+1)

Glad to hear, thanks for playing! :D

this is looking beautiful. your art style and matching audio is beautiful. it was a pleasure to play :) great job! 

Developer

Thank you for the nice words and for playing. :)

oh I love the chill mood here. sometimes flowers moved unexpectedly to another spot. was that intended?

Developer(+1)

I mentioned it briefly in the how to play, but I didn't have time anymore to make animations. They are moles, they can move your flowers and you can counter them with the shovel card. :)

Submitted

ohh that makes sense! thanks. yeah I was able to counter them with the shovel

Submitted(+1)

I like the idea of gardening themed deckbuilder! 

As of now, the gameplay seems a bit flat. There are no interesting decisions to make, I just plant all the plants next to each other and scare away the crows if I get the card for it.

I personally dislike any lootbox adjusted mechanics in my games, so I did not like buying card packs, but it is a personal preference.

I think this game can turn out really interesting if you make it a bit more dynamic. If plants gave me coins and disappeared when they are fully grown, I could cycle the plans and time the use of other plants and tools to maximize the coin gain.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. Time played a big role on that. I had to simplify the game because I needed more time than I thought to implement all the mechanics of a deckbuilding game. :)

Submitted(+1)

That is totally understandable!

I wanted to give honest feedback about how I felt playing the game, but I definitely did not mean to undermine the achievement of finishing a strategy game for a jam. Good job making it to the finish line!

Submitted(+1)

Great concept, I love deckbuilders. Ultimately I think it needed more variety after a few playthroughs but I think it's an awesome proof of concept for the time we had for this jam. Well done!

Developer

Thanks, happy to hear you liked it. I agree, I would definitely need more time to flesh it out more.

Submitted(+1)

I really like the game, but it's kind has a tedium of going back to the main menu buying a booster pack and choosing a cards you want. I think it could work better if you did The Slay Spire thing where you pick cards at the end of a battle.

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you like the game. :) I love TCGs and CCGs, that's why I wanted to make my own one day, and this game jam was perfect for testing the waters.

Submitted(+1)

Very relaxing, with wonderful music! I played it a few times, even though after the third time it felt kinda repetitive (and buying booster packs didn't do much either).

It was a good idea, gardening solitaire was definitely something I didn't see coming! Congrats for the unique idea :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the nice comment. :) Happy you liked my idea.

Lovely! I could see myself playing this a lot longer than I already did :)

Relaxing little deck builder! Pleasant graphics and music and gameplay. Great job finishing the jam!!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'm so glad I finished it in time.

omg i love this entry, is cozy and the concept is very interesting, a cute take on card games 🌸 I would've loved some colorful graphics on the bacground as you had on the title screen (love it so much btw), but other than that it was very fun and creative!

Developer

Thank you for playing! 🌱 I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
