This was a fun submission! I was able to get a score of 69 (nice). I think the addition of being able to wrap your umbrella around to the other side of the screen is absolutely crucial and made the game much more enjoyable. I can see now that if you hadn't done that you would have gotten many complaints about how players were expected to block one piece of hail from the right side then move all the way over to the left to block another one. So good foresight on that!

This one has the the best 2D atmosphere for me, with the melancholy created by the music and the dark skies, well done on that :>
Gameplay needs balancing as it (seems?) to be impossible to perfectly protect all 3 flowers at the same time, so you need to sacrifice one or two to not get a gameover and then get the "dead" ones back in action.
As preu said, thank you for adding a tutorial, some other games were very confusing to play for me.

Thank you very much! Yes it definetly needs to be balanced some more, but sadly I didn't make it in time for the jam. I was getting either games that were too easy or insanely hard 😅

your game idea is neat and fits the theme well. but the game is a bit rough around the edges. It felt like I couldn't block all of the hail, but that may be a skill issue. It's good you included a tutorial I think it's a super important element of the game that sometimes is overlooked in a jam game

The second time I played two flowers stopped from being hit so it was an easy win focusing only on the third one 😂
