Very nice and original entry, the art is also really cute, especially the little gnomes.

lovely little game! the art style is very cute. I like the plant sounds when plating or poking around. stealing hats is really funny, especially when spammed as the poor little guy’s hat goes wild. I kept accidentally holding the mouse button when picking up seeds, which caused them to be immediately planted, so I think the controls could use some improvement. there’s not much gameplay, but what’s there is quite enjoyable and satisfying — sweet entry!

OMG, such a good-looking game, it’s so cute, and satisfying to grow the plants. The sounds are great, the game feels quite complete! I’m not sure what’s the “end game” but it was fun! I enjoyed building my gnhome

Very cute cozy game. I love the art style, it looks great and fits the cozy vibe. I like the mechanics of growing the different plants, but I wish there was a bit more depth or strategy to the gameplay. Fun game, great work!

Great entry! Amazing art style and fun growing mechanic. I think some kind of shop with upgrades/new seeds etc that you could buy for harvested plants would add more fun. Anyway i really enjoyed it!

Thank you for playing, and I totally agree with the shop idea! We originally wanted to do that and you could find on the other side of the stump but it was part of the scope that got cut

I like the art and the combination of 2D and 3D, although I would like the 3D background to be more lively.

I think I didn't play as intended, because I just held down the mouse button and slice the orbs, sometimes stopping to knock off the hats. So the gnomes house looked a bit chaotic in the end.

Thank you for playing and the feedback! We have been talking about what to do with the 3D background to make it more lively, but also not distract from the center stage.

Honestly we didn’t want a prescribed way to play. Towards the end that was how I was playing because it was the best way to watch edge case bugs :)

Fun clicky game.  Relaxing with nice art.  I see in the comments you want to keep working on it and I think that's a good idea.  This could go quite a bit further.  Nice work!

Thank you for playing and the feedback! Hoping to catch some of the low hanging fruit at the end of the rating period then potentially plan out some bigger features for the future. This has been a lot of fun to work on.
