Love it when a simple concept allows for such hard puzzles

Really nice and simple mechanic but doesn't necessarily make the puzzles simple. I would've loved if the part where the seed is going to be spawned be a bit more noticeable though

Cute game a bit hard but awsome concept:)

Nice! I like the mechanics. The puzzles don’t seem very challenging though.

Developer

Yeah I couldnt get the mechanics to produce hard enough puzzles unfortunately, thanks for playing though!

Seen this type of game a lot in this jam but the presentation here was really unique and the puzzles were full of those signature 'aha' moments. Also given the amount of time we had, I'm impressed by how many you made. A few minor bugs I spotted were that you could still move around after a level ends and that sometimes my character would just choose not to move but non of this took away from my enjoyment. Music was a great choice and the art was cozy but sad, which is my depressing kind of jam haha. Huge props for making this in such a short space of time!

Apologies for the ramble! I'm trying to find the words to explain what made this version of the 'use your past selves to impact the future' so enojyment for myself but I can't seem to put my finger on it.

Developer

Ah damn, im glad the game was still fun even with the few bugs! Thanks for playing

This puzzle is cool and hard, it was really interisting. Its original idea or i am have never seen somethink like this before, i spend a lot of time becouse i didnt know that if flower dead in water, you will get a extra life 

Developer(+1)

yeah I should have made it more obvious that dying in the water doesnt make you lose a flower, im terrible with tutorials/descriptions of what to do, thanks for playing though!
