Unique gameplay that ends up being surprisingly addicting. I played it for so long that after stopping, it looked like my monitor was moving to the right for a minute, lol.

I like the idea of manipulating a vector field to control the motion of an object, but I think it's a bit too hard to predict how the flower will move. Additionally, the gaps you need to clear need fine grain moves that just weren't available. However, there is a solid idea here. Also, I think it's worth considering it as a mobile game, too.
I definitely had fun. Reminds me of those simulators they have for high school physics classes. Great concept for a game.
I really the the concept for this game, I've never seen anything like it! If you were to expand it, consider letting me drag the mouse to reverse the direction of the arrows.
Nice and relaxing game, only issue is, and I don't know if it's just me, but I had some texture errors at the beginning

I'm guessing you're hosting the assets remotely and itch.io doesn't allow for cross origin request?
"We're not particularly happy with the end result, you can barely call it a game at this point."
Don't be so hard on yourself. It's a novel and interesting game idea and quite playable. I have seen much worse submissions to weekend game jams.
