THE WAY YOU CARRY PLANTS!! OMG.
I love this idea, it's so cute, and very creative! It's surprising how much depth and gameplay you're exploring for a jam game.
Admittedly I did get quite confused a few times, and this was mostly due to me not reading/remembering the full description as I played haha - so I don't want to belabor on that too much. But one really simple thing that could help with immediate clarity would be maybe adding a description/use of your held item while you're carrying it around.
The puzzle mechanics were unexpectedly awesome! The bush providing a soft landing is such a cool mechanic, and feels appropriately different than the mushroom and tree.
Your description has too many apologies hehe <3 I liked your game and the ideas it presented!
I hope you three get a chance to finish it up soon!
