Very nice! The background art is beautiful, but blurred enough to not be distracting. It was occasionally frustrating when a flower would pop up, open, and promptly close again right from under my sprite. I like that it happened, it just seemed to happen a bit much.
Simple. Beautiful. Beautifully executed. Controls are great. Mood is perfect. Multiple "sprite" sprites is a good touch.
Like a lot of games with edges, I had issues with my sprites being hit by flies before I could react. This is not unique to your game. I just need to learn to keep my sprites away from the edge.
A lovely, highly polished and relaxing game that I feel I am somehow unworthy of - first I tried to kill the flowers with my fan, then I tried to attack the bees, then I started pondering the sexual implications of what I was doing, helping pollenate plants :P
Jokes aside, this game stands out from the others - in particular I love that you can rescue sprites by catching them just before they go off the screen, kind of like a second chance.
Some 'Limbo'-esque subtle animations to the background would be nice, but otherwise, an amazing job!
Zero-button game! Nice! Just need to change the starting and finishing clicks into gestures. =)
Very nice artwork, animation, sound, and music. All the assets are splendid. The gameplay was definitely challenging on a trackpad. Some of those little sprites just came rocketing down from the sky, and juggling a half dozen was fine until a flower closed or a bug came flying through. Nice mix of plausible elements.
It'd be nice if flowers didn't close when a sprite was in proximity, kind of like how a Piranha Plant will stop coming out of a pipe if Mario's standing next to it.
wow, great flow! I like how you used the first flower and little sprite dude to confirm what you just learned from the instructions. And thanks for including the source. Such a small game but so much fun. Definitely a keeper. Well done

So nice and relaxing... well, until that fly/bee thing comes and tiny broken bodies litter the floor!

But as I said, overall very good.

More of this. More from you. Please. :)

Very well done! 4/5!
