Nice concept! Fits the theme perfectly and made for a pretty fun game. I like the graphical style a lot, too. My only suggestions are that the curse should spread a bit faster (since the real challenge is in planting it on hard-to-reach areas), and the enemy behaviors should be a little more consistent/predictable (but not necessarily simple!).

Cutest degradation of the world ever!

This game hooked my mind as I played it and lots of thoughts came by. The idea of the corruption spreading is nice. I wish the other denizens would notice the corruption and make sad remarks about it, just so I'd feel more guilty about it.

The graphics and animations are lovely. I wish the wilted flower from the scene transitions was used in the levels too, as the terrain gets corrupted.

I loved this game! it`s cute, and the concept is pretty interesting. After some adjustments in enemy`s AI and some different challenges, this could turn out to be very, very addicting !

Nice concept and artwork, i like the characters. I just find the moves to be very slow but it might be my old computer running low. Good job :)

Cool concept of spreading bad seeds in the ground. I liked the intro too. I had the game laggy and the gameplay was not enough worked for me :/

I'm sorry for the lag, I'm not a very skilled programmer >.< But I'm working on a post-jam release without lag and with some stuff I didn't have time to add!

I like the idea, but the game is a bit slow. I think the creep should expand either super fast or instantly, since I spent most of the time just waiting.

This was actually a really fun game. Could definitely see it made into a full ios game or something like that. Excellent job!

Yay! The world is purple. Similar idea to my Make It Black but completely different context and implementation. The little devil/cat creatures are cute and the sounds are too. Cool!

Cool! Graphics were really cute. I feel like it has a lot of potential, like, you could have different powders that spread in different ways with different effects. My only complaint is that the randomness of the enemies meant that winning or losing felt somewhat arbitrary.

Neat concept and cute setting/art. I found avoiding the guys to not be a lot of fun. Should have some safe zone where you get away from being seen, or have then turn over time, so you get a warning when to stop vs it being instant. You can fix that in polish though. It's a sound idea and fun to run around, just needs to be more forgiving in the "see you" area. it also bogged my iMac down to nothing a couple of times. Something going on.

Good concept. I found it hard to figure out the strategy to not be seen and how I would actually be able to get where the other guy was because he just stood at the end of the screen. But overall, I think it was very interesting.
