Truly... Horrifying. Took me a second play to figure out there was more to the game. Love it. Very silly very scary. Overall 10/10 experience and WILL be playing until I beat it.

InvincibleAwesome setup! The beginning reminded me a bit of berry bury berry so I was not expecting a full on horror game. I will say, I was also confused at first. I just kept starting and watering the flowers over and over. I had to come back to the comments to check what to do until I read how to start the actual game. It is a cool twist though. I like it!
Maybe after 1 or two plays, you should remove the play button from the main menu and only the quit button remains. Then the player will be forced to start the game.

Beyond The BlightThank uuuuu! I lowkey tried to aim for a different aesthetic, but then that aesthetic ended up having similarities to liminal spaces and weirdcore and I'm seeing other comments mentioning it. The way I worded it kinda makes it look like a bad thing but nah I'm glad people see it that way cuz I like that aesthetic too.
This flower game is very startling. Nice touch with the flowers blending in with one another. The weirdcore / dreamcore atmosphere is great! The (maze portion) map could be smaller though and reducing the pieces to find to 6-8 would be appreciated.

Confront Your Fear - The LifestylePretty fun concept, the twist was creative and well executed and the art style really sells the first section of the game. Nice work!

Void ReaperReally cool game! I love the art style of the game, very fitting and unique with this type of game. It was very simple and fun to play. However, some people might have issues at the start of the game, so I kind of recommend to have like a short play through of it, since some people might not be able to figure things out right away! Overall, a very nice game!

Call Your Hits!!!Hey! Loved the game! My favorite parts was watering the plants! It is crazy how such a simple game can be so much fun! Maybe next time I would add more flower!
Jk..
Loved the twist. You nailed the "fake cozy game but its actually horror" at the begging of the game, and I feel the twist with the quit button was executed perfectly.
As for the game itself, I can see a slenderman inspiration. Even if these are not my types of games, I can see it did all it needs to do perfectly. Good job!

Running Out Of TimeJust played it! Very cozy and relaxing experience. I love how intuitive the objective is right from the start — no hand-holding needed, just pure gameplay. It's a nice, short session that doesn't overstay its welcome.
If you decide to expand this in the future, adding a progress bar or a specific goal (like "water X flowers within Y time") could really boost the sense of accomplishment. Also, a quick note: the 'Exit' button didn't seem to work for me (Alt+F4 saved the day). Solid entry, keep up the good work!

Lucky Cat: God's TouchHaha, now you've got me curious! Did I miss some secret ending or a hidden interaction? I'd love to know what that was supposed to be. I actually have a secret in my own game too, but some players already figured it out and started talking about it, so the magic is half-gone now! 😄 Anyway, thanks again for the fun game, it was a blast!
Lool yes you did miss something but it was not supposed to be really secretttt. Nah but you missing it is reallyyyy good feedback for me. If you wanted to play again maybe jus don use Alt F4 to quit cuz the quit button does work😉 Lowkey intrested in trying to find the secret in your game now too but I gotta rate all the rest of these games in this community post lol. Perhaps after. Still again thanks for playing lol
lmao, I really didn't get it at first and was confused by all the horror comments. I just kept rewatering the flowers and thought that was the end of it. But noooo. I don't know if there's a way to win the game, but I almost wish there wasn't lol. I really think you could turn this into a bigger game if you wanted to. I do love a maze game. I liked the audio but it turned repetitive after a point, which could be another layer to the horror but something to think about. And I personally would like more of a cozy animation style, maybe not so realistic looking, but that's just me. Loved the twist tho, u got me, haha

Invincible at HeartWe was lowkey playing each others games at the same time kinda lol, thank you for your feedback. Feedback is gold I appreciate ittt!
Edit: Also yes you can beat the game I jus tried to make it hard to. But maybe it's too hard we'll see. Also, I kinda like the repetitive audio in the beginning because it reflects the repetitive task and the feeling of being trapped in an endless loop, but I could also see it being annoying. Mayhaps change in future
I knew what was probably coming and it still got me... sigh
Well done!

Null SessionThat's a good bait and switch. I do wish you had warned me before making my ears bleed lol
A bit too hard to protect yourself in the tight corridors, would also be good to have some assets spread around so you don't end up going in circles

Mockia 0133OMG I thought this was gonna be a very simple water the flower game but I LOVE the bit of horror you threw in there. Very liminal, very old ps2 vibes.
