Very impressive game you got here! Just about everything oozes polish and I have to say grabbing the words is a game mechanic that I've never encountered before and it was implemented very well... once I remembered that I could adjust the sensitivity with the [Esc] key. You get full "Innovation" points from me for that!

The only real issue I encountered was one time, after I died and replayed the section, there seemed to be a whole bunch of jumbled up text all on the screen at the same time that made it impossible to read. Other than that, fantastic job!

Developer

Omg I thought I fixed that bug. I'm glad you enjoyed the word grabbing mechanic! Our artist came up with the concept and I'm sure she enjoys people commenting on how innovative the mechanic she came up with is. Her brain is wrinkly af

This gave me so much NintendoDS feelings :D

Great game, the art style is super lovely.

Developer

hahah we got a few comments mentioning this would’ve been great for the 3DS

thank you so much for playing our game and your kinds words!

I really enjoyed this game and it didn't feel like a quick game for a game jam at all!
The art style and design of character, background, and animation of everything were soo good, it made the game really enjoyable. 

My only issue is the words. At first, it amused me, but then it was very hard to read and I think it could be a big obstacle for people with dyslexia, so keep that in mind.

In general, great cute game, definitely will come back to it.

Developer

Thank you so much for taking the time to play our game and leaving such a thoughtful comment!

I agree 100%, if we had more time we would’ve spent it on making am accessibility toggle to remove the wiggling or slow it down a bit to help with legibility. Unfortunately we spent the last few days of the jam rushing to get things done and killing as many bugs as possible haha.

thank you again! c:

Amazing. I gave it a perfect score. I also ran into the same glitch as TomatoOmelete, but I still absolutely love the game. So innovative, simply amazing art, sound, solid controls, unique idea of the stem mechanic. 

Developer(+1)

We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed our game, I really appreciate you taking the time to write out such a thoughtful comment!

We’ll work on fixing up those bugs post jam, we definitely have a few issues that need to be improved in and getting all this feedback is extremely valuable c:

Wonderful music, art, and gameplay! The mechanic is really creative and I love it.But I fell down into an area where Tomatoomelet fell down too. :( Still, I had tons of fun playing! Well done!

Developer

Thank you so much! So happy you love our game!

That bug seems to be fairly common, we’ll definitely need to fix that up once the jam is over. Thank you for playing regardless of that c:

very cool concept! gg!

Amazing concept. The flower mechanic is such an innovative idea! This game oozes charm. Art is beautiful and the music is so fitting! All of the details were so fun to find in the stages. My stem kept getting stuck on surfaces, albeit I did try adjusting the sensitivity, but unfortunately my mouse would escape my screen sometimes (even in fullscreen) And I really wanted to complete this, and I'm still going to give it another go, but there were 3 times where my character was frozen in place, animating, but not moving,  once on the first level and twice on the ant level. I can't wait to see the rest when I give it another shot, you got something really cool here.

Developer

Thank you for playing our game and taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment! Appreciate that A LOT.

I definitely agree about the mouse control, I personally had a hard time with it and had to adjust the sensitivity to make the game a bit easier for myself. We should totally look into locking the bounds and smoothing out that control in the near future. I’m so sorry about that bug you encountered :c I’ll let our devs know so we can make sure to fix that next time around! c:

WOW! really creative idea !

Developer

We're really glad you liked it!!! :D

This was a really cool and unique idea for a game! There are so many ways you can expand this game too! Overall, great art, music and game play! As others mentioned the text was a bit difficult to read although the text effects were cool! Good work!

Developer

Thank you so much for enjoying! We're definitely grindin' our gears on how this can be expanded (and honestly, there was quite a bit that didn't make it into the final build owo). The guy who worked on the text is very happy that you liked the effects overall haha. Thanks again for playing!

Submitted(+2)

LOVE the art! This was a very interesting game. Definitely a neat take to the theme. This would have been really cool on a Nintendo DS.

As others have mentioned, the mouse controls were a little wonky for me as I found myself on the edge of the screen trying to grab words. The text was also a little hard to follow especially when its set to disappear a second after it is complete.

Note: I killed the frog with the mask, I guess he doesn't respawn haha.

Developer

Thank you for enjoying!! Our artist is very happy that you like the art haha. And that's a fantastic comment about the DS-- it would be interesting to see how it works with a stylus! I believe if you up the sensitivity and play in fullscreen it's a bit easier to control, but we're gonna work on better accessibility there for sure. C:

(And yes, Garbra the Frog kinda dips off after-- you must've scared her away xD)

Awesome graphics and atmosphere. Maybe it was my fault, but could control very well the stem.

Developer

Thank you for playing and we're glad you enjoyed the aesthetics of the game! I believe if you play in full screen and up the sensitivity you can control the stem a little better, but it definitely isn't your fault-- it's a mechanic we'll be looking into polishing post jam! C: Thanks again for playing~

Really fun and interesting game, I enjoyed playing it! I sometimes have a bit of trouble catching words because my cursor is already close to the edge of the screen. Maybe it would be a good idea to move the cursor to the middle of the screen or the players position before you start drawing the flower?

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing! I believe if you up the sensitivity ingame and also play in fullscreen it will help offset a bit of the trouble to catch words, but regardless we're definitely going to look into iterating on those mechanics in the future. That's a really good comment on changing the cursor position-- we'll look into it! Thank you for your feedback and again, for playing!

Awesome experience and amazing graphics. Unique game. Congrats.

The visuals are great, looks really good, the controls are okay, that idea with the stem is interesting, I've never seen something like that, really cool. But the text caused some reading issues, it is fairly hard to follow the words as they are moving a lot.

But overall, I like it, good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for trying the game! We're definitely going to look into polishing mouse-based control and more text-accessibility options post jam (and in our future projects). Still glad you liked it, and thanks for the feedback!

The graphics are awesome and cute atmosphere! Nice work!

Really nice art style and polished implementation but struggled with the mouse controls  using a Chromebook.  Runs really well on the web for such an impressive looking game. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing! We're glad that you liked it and it ran well for you.I believe if you up the sensitivity it will make controlling the stem a little bit easier, but mouse-controlled movement is definitely something we'll look into polishing more post jam. Thanks again!!

Love this game, absolutely gorgeous art and cool mechanics! We came across a little bug which stopped us on our journey, definitely adding to our collection to play again once it's been patched post jam. Amazing job team!

Developer

It does seem as if a few colliders escaped our notice-- we're still very glad you enjoyed it nonetheless! Thank you so much for playing!
