Really nice artwork and design, very well polished.

How does your entry fit the theme?
The player needs to give pollen to the flowers in order to make them bloom and solve the room puzzle.
What would you like feedback on?
This is my first jam game and my first game in general, so I would like to get feedback about everything in it because I am very new to this.
The part I struggled most with was the level design, so getting some feedback about it would be great, what was done well and what could be improved.
What assets did you use (if any)?
Kenny: SFX and UI icons
bit by bit sound: music
and a transition effect

This was a really good submission! The level design in particular is very good. You made levels that were challenging but possible which is the hardest part of making puzzle games!
A critique that I have is to make those crumbling platforms more obvious as to their purpose. I felt like I would consistently jump on one and not expect it to fall out from under me because the texture for it looks solid.
Great submission!

BloomstickCool game! the puzzles were fun and the artstyle is unique and charming. each levels were unique it doesn't feel repetitive. the music is also good. The problem I see is that the bee couldn't move for a bit when it's blooming a flower and there were parts where you need to time a jump or move too before the flowers fully bloom so it does get in the way a bit also you need to press the R button more than once to restart. Though really good for a first game! keep it up!

Bloom N JumpThanks for the feedback. I made it impossible for the player to move while pollinating because it broke most of the puzzles I was able to come up with, but you are not the first one to tell me that it didn't feel good. I will try to make it feel better by making the time you can't move for shorter or by making the flowers you need to jump off move slower. If you have any idea how to fix it I would love to hear it because I do want to leave it in. Can you tell me more about the bug with the R key? I want to fix it and tried to recreate it to see what was wrong, but was not able to.
This was a great game, especially for a first! The level designs were very good and just the right difficulty. I think that the teleporter flowers should be marked though as it's hard to tell which are normal and which are teleporters. Otherwise amazing for a first game!

Bloom DefenderThe level design is very good for a such short period of time. For it to be more clear, you could use better sprite/animation to indicate that the flower has pollen. Also, the teleporter does not stand out enough, and when you use it, you don't actually see that it has pollen.
Very good for a first game.

Garden HellI quite enjoyed the game! Puzzles were well made and had few fun "Aha!" moments out of it. Really nice

Garden of MonstersVery enjoyable, the puzzles in order of difficulty should be rearranged abit and I couldn't figure out the last one for the life of me x)
Artstyle is cute and the music goes well with it, well done!
Submitted
Garden of MonstersThe puzzles were neat. I did not find the solution to level 6 though.
The controls were sometimes a little clunky but not too fustrating since you can start again pretty fast.
And the music was cool too !

Bird of a FeatherI really enjoyed this, even though I'm not a puzzle guy.. It did get gradually challenging but not enough to be frustrating. Great levels and nice vibes overall :D

Make it bloomArt is great, Music is great, Level design is beautiful, Difficulty progression is really solid, Solid game really liked it
Submitted
Plants'O'ChopNot bad at all, especially for your first game! My favorite part was the level design and the de-pollination mechanic. The art style is unique, but for future iterations, consider adding animations and more immersive elements to stand out. Good luck on your journey!
