Cool game! I made it to level 8 before failing. The animation and sound effects while shooting the hose feel really juicy and make watering the plants satisfying. I wish I had had more time to develop such flourishes in my own game. The shrink attachment was also a nice addition that added another layer to the gameplay.
One thing to note is every time it came down to the very last plant, I would just mash the W button until I beat the level. It definitely felt like I was cheesing the game, but at the same time it was pretty fun to get down to the last plant and mash the water with 5 seconds left. So up to you whether you want to balance that out or leave it in!
Very creative approach to the theme and I'm all for plant games, being a plant enthusiast myself! Does remind me.... I need to water my plants
Nice visual and sound design and an interesting implementation of dice roll mechanics!
Took me a moment to realise what the subtraction function was for, and I'm not sure if a time limit combines well with RNG, but other than that, fun little game!
Very creative and enjoyable!
Very creative and enjoyable!
Love the style, this is exactly how I feel when tending to my plants during growth season. I was a bit intimidated by the (simple!) mental maths required but it was really compelling.
Nice game! I really like the art, and how polished it all is. Managed to get to level 5.
Really cute art, it get very intense towards the later levels. Fun game!
Surprisingly addictive if you like doing quick simple mental math. Presentation is very nice as well.
Em.... NICE? So little so fun! You realy did a good job there keep it up!
em… thanks. I wasn’t sure about the idea but for what’s its worth, it could be a fun hyper casual game… I think.
Fun little with some nice presentation!
Fun little game! :)
Fun game! I didn't realize at first the use of the subtraction potion (maybe because the plant just got restarted) but once i figured it out the levels became a lot more strategic. A good balance of randomness and strategy made this a good game that also matched the theme!
Thank you for trying the game! I wished to add some tutorial levels to make the use of Shrinking liquid pretty evident but... had to scratch that towards the end.
This was very very enjoyable. Really easy to understand how the game works (I didn't even read the tutorial text and I figured it out) and really quickly made it available to someone who's slow and methodical and also to someone who wants to hurry up and try to speedrun the levels with increasing difficulty. Love it!
Thank you for playing the game :)
good creativity and great visuals, but personally i didnt like this style of music.
As a vegan accountant this really appealed to me. Job well done :)
Ha ha! Sure... Thanks for playing :)
Very cool puzzle (especially, after finding out that there's a way of subtracting values). The "next up" was a good idea, since it reduces randomness a bit.
Music was great and the artwork was super cute!
Thank you so much!
Nice music and greaaaaate game idea :3
