I like it! The challenge of balancing every stat out while there is constant threat of bugs made the game fun and challenging. The look and feel is cheerful, which fits this gameplay well in my opinion!

I like it, but I found it difficult to play. I would have preferred to control the seasons with a click of the mouse on some buttons.

The game is very fast. Too fast in the beginning. But I like the concept. I think it has good potential

Developer

Hi! Thanks for the feedback!
I am glad you liked it.
I'll see if mouse click is a better input and update the game accordingly
I made the gameplay fast on purpose so the players have a bit of challenge

I enjoy games like this.

But I found it a bit hard to understand all the visual cues, particularly the exclamation marks to the right of the flower.

But it is a fun game. Maybe a bit too fast for me cause I've had to reread what each season's key is.
Maybe if you added those cues in the game, it'd be easier.

Keep up the good work.

Developer

Hi! Thanks for the feedback!
After the jam I will update the game with tutorials and more levels
I made it a bit fast paced on purpose so there is a little challenge for the player. It will change depending on level.
Make sure to check back later for the big update!

I like the graphics and the sounds. Quite challenging to keep that little flower alive.

Maybe it is just me but the controls are a little awkward, maybe clicking it would be better for me. Sometimes audio problems.

Developer(+1)

Hi! Thanks for the feedback!
I am glad you liked the game. I will try to see if clicking is a better alternative and implement in the updated game.
I know about the audio problems. It's only in the web version. It should be fixed now.

The game idea and gameplay was interesting liked it a lot, tho audio glitches once ur health is too low but overall really nice

Developer

Hi! Thanks for the feedback!
I just saw that and it is a bug only in the web version. You can download the PC or Linux version for a bug free gameplay.

so i already try the game before and did something change ? if it did, the first build was better.

edit : okay so maybe there's nothing changed, but actually spaming is kinda work better than actually actively trying to understand how the game works lol

just quick issue note, idk what happening but the "warning" audio  played really glitchy when i started running out of health. and looks like there's no restart button ? it's really annoying you had to refresh or quit and restart the game just to try again.

so after a couple of playthrough i started to understand a game, and i think  the bug and winter system is really confusing. in my first success playthrough i didn't really know if winter actually affect the bug or not. and now i still think winter isn't really affective to get rid of the bug, when i just going back and forth from spring and rainy sometime the bug just gone really quickly especially compared to how slow and risky winter was. maybe something like bug lifebar could help because this doesn't really make sense

im really tired rn so ill end the review here, GL on ur next project

Developer

Hi, Thanks for the feedback!
I changed nothing from the first build, I just added my name
The glitching volume is only a problem in the web version, even I don't know why it happens. It might be the corner case when it's simultaneously playing and stopping the sound in the same frame.
Sorry about not having the restart button, I completely forgot to implement it during the time clutch, I'll add it later.
The winter system is basically a fixed counter that starts when you switch to that season, after which it removes all the bugs. Maybe this cleared your doubt
If I update the game, I would add more levels and a tutorial which helps players get accustomed to the mechanics, with more levels and features.

Hi, it seems like i need to install Game maker Studio to play your game?

Is there a way for you to maybe provide a version that runs without any installations? I would love to try out your game but i don't really want to install something to try out a jam game. Thanks in advance.

Developer

Hey there!

You don't need to install GameMaker to play the the game. The windows executable file is an installer for the game, you just need to run that. I have used the default banners and stuff provided in the software so that might be the confusion.

I'll update the installer with proper graphics so there isn't any confusion.

Developer

Hi, I added the web version as well now, so you check it out on the page!
