This game was beautiful. I'm in love with that main menu music used for the game as it gave a calming and relaxing feel to the game. The art was spectacular and the gameplay was pretty engaging. Although, I feel it needs a bit of polishing on the gameplay side.

First, the walking animation didn't seem to move fluently with the controls. It felt like I was moving much more slower.

Second, I got stuck within the collisions of the blocks a few times and also the enemies ended up getting moving in unpleasant areas, which forced me to have to restart the game.

But overall, this game was still top notch. From the innovative ideas of the different plants to the designing of the levels. Amazing job on this game!

Thank you for appreciate :)

Giant team who worked on this, round of applause for yourselves. The art looks very beautiful (someone's been watching some AdamCYounis on Youtube from how that bush looks) The plot is interesting, the music is alright until it's the only thing you hear, then it's annoying. I like the variety of plantable seed areas, although I wish there were some in places and other not there. Some levels I can't figure out how to get through without taking 1 or 2 hits, and I feel bad about my inability to think.There's a bit of a visual bug in the tutorial level where if you use all your vines, and then shovel it back, the icon appears grayed out and unclickable, until you select the mushroom, then it fixes itself. Planting is pretty liberal, as long as you can see it, you are essentially tossing a seed 40 ft above you and growing a dandelion instantly. Planting vines for whatever reason seems to be very finicky, you have to be precise where you're clicking in the area. The last level is pitch black, so whatever gameplay is happening you can't see it, and that's the end. A really promising adventure, fantastic job!

Hey, thank you for playing and for the detailed feedback. The last level has been fixed and I have added a skip button that will allow you to play the last level straightaway if you're interested in finishing the game.

Oooh! Big news! Well now I got to try it out. Thanks for going above and beyond!

Great pixel art.Sometimes is hard to precisely catch vine but it´s probably my fault because i am not expert in platform games.Overall very promising platform game.

Developer

Thank you for playing! The vine can be difficulty to use, pressing 'W' when your character is in front of the vine will enable climbing on the vine then moving along the vine with WASD like normal should help you utilise it better.

The art in this game is gorgeous. I like the way you sometimes have to take a hit on purpose to save one of your plants for later, too. On the last level (I think it’s the last level, it just faded to black) I only got through because some of the enemies glitched, I got hit no matter what in the pit with 3 enemies. Overall though, this is fantastic.

Developer

Thank you for playing, glad you enjoyed the game. The last level has been fixed and there is a button to skip to it if you wish to continue on with the game. Apologies for that.

The art in this game is very well done. Very solid platformer. Good job!

Developer

Thank's for playing the game :)

Oh no, he's stuck in the void, forever. This is a sad event.

Unfortunately, the combo keyboard / mouse is not really working with me (I only use trackpad). I also feel like I'm having a bug, sometime I can jump from a vine sometime I can't :(

Developer

Thank you for trying out the game.
Unfortunately I am not exactly sure how I could introduce another input option other than clicking at the moment.
The intended mechanic is you should not be able to jump from vines but you will retain your velocity upon exiting a vine, so exiting while climbing up will give the illusion of jumping off the vine but should be slightly lower than an actual jump. However, I will still have a look to ensure jumping off the vine is impossible in case that is indeed a bug.

I really want to play this game, but I can't figure out how to plant! :(

Developer

Thank you for trying out the game.
You can select seeds by clicking on them in the top left and plant by clicking on the glowing dirt.
I'm working on making the instructions more clear in game but you can see more detailed gameplay instructions in the game description below.
