Right off the bat, incredible character design and animation!!! What an adorable lil guy!

Leaving thoughts as I play:

  • The vine growing mechanic kinda reminded me of some segments in Drawn to Life on the DS
  • The sound design is really good and I love how the pitch of the vine growing tells you how close it is to being finished
  • Mechanics are introduced in a safe environment to teach the player how they work before then being used in more dangerous situations
  • Alternate routes are a great idea for introducing a risk/reward system to the player (more difficult, less pollen-consuming / easier, more pollen-consuming)
  • Played again to conserve pollen and get the good ending

This game was very very cute and I loved it a lot! In terms of bugs, I don't think I came across a single one! I noticed that my pollen was draining a little in windy areas despite having blocked the wind (maybe intentional?)

The art for this game is incredible and was the forefront of my enjoyment with this entry. Truly incredible to see what art and animation can be made in such a short amount of time!

Incredible entry, congrats, and I can't wait to see more! :)

Thank you so much for this incredibly detailed and thoughtful review!!  it honestly means a lot that you picked up on so many of the intentional design decisions! The pitch mechanic on the vine was something we were really proud of, so it's awesome that it registered. And the level design around teaching mechanics safely before ramping up difficulty was very much deliberate, glad it came through!

The Drawn to Life comparison is such a cool observation, honestly hadn't thought of it but it makes a lot of sense!

About the wind bug, you're actually right that something weird happens visually! The pollen bar changes color as if it's draining faster, but the actual pollen drain isn't affected. It's a visual feedback bug we noticed after submission and will fix in a post-jam update.

Really loved your entry too, incredible work for a jam. Congrats to you as well!! :D
