oh no! You're stranded on a small desolate moon! Good thing you brought your gardening tools!
Clear some place and plant the seeds that will grow into the beginnings of your new home.

Love the way it all looks. I find the music relaxing. (And hahaha it changes when I zoom out!)
Thank you! Music was by https://not-jam.itch.io/
super cool concept!! the aspect of needing to keep your plants watered to produce more currency is a nice active spin on the idle concept. super technically impressive, i've got no clue how you pulled off the real-time zoom but it looks really good on the playdate screen
The following image is directly related to how I pulled off the zoom.
Relaxing garden game. The scroll and zoom effects are really neat.
Wonderfully relaxing! The animations make it really satisfying to plant things and watch them grow. Sometimes you just need a whole planet to yourself to relax in, just you and your garden (and lots of kitties!)
Super intuitive and fun. Scratches the same itch as the zen garden in Plants vs Zombies, only this is better cuz it’s ON THE MOON!
Thank you! I was going to zen so I'm glad it came across that way!
Really neat idea, and the use of the Playdate control-wise is really smartly done. Looking forward to spending more time with it once Saving is implemented.
Soon I promise!
Already posted my praise for this in Discord, but echoing it again here. :) Well done!
Thank you again!
A very peaceful and compelling entry! Designing a little garden was fun and relaxing. If this game saved when closed and had offline progress, I could see myself coming back to it daily to check up on my plants. I'd love a post jam version with more stuff to play with (not that the available content isn't a ton already!)
Thank you! I didn't have enough time to implement saving in this version but will probably post an updated one son after voting ends with some balance changes and saving.
Incredibly clean and accessible UI. I had a great, relaxing time building my moon garden!
