Nice mechanics. Very smart and tricky!

Gran! Those darn shrubs. Excellent use of puzzlescript. and, of course, I loved the story. "Killed, just like my gran!"

Wow, I didn't expect a puzzle game at all at first. You did a great job at slowly introducing the mechanics! The graphics are simple but effective. This is also a very unique way to interpret the theme.
If I had to bring up one negative point, it would be the length of the last level. That was a bit much running around.
Overall a great entry!

I liked the story. Puzzle was fun once I got the hang of it!

Really smart game! It is a bit like those push box puzzles. Hard to realize at first. Fit the theme nicely!

Aaah. Too hard for me. Got stuck in day 5 :(
Awesome game though :) 5 stars for overall!

Lovely graphics! Neat mechanic.

The rules for when you're next to multiple sticks are very unintuitive though. Always felt like a bug when it prevented me doing something.

The map on the last day was bigger than I'd like, made it really frustrating and I stopped playing eventually. Was enjoying it until that point though!

Fun puzzler. Too tricky for me, but I loved the theme of shrub revenge.

Interesting game. The final day is very difficult, my brain is exploded! Good feelings, I love puzzles, thank you.

Excellent submission, That final day had me for a while, but a great feeling of accomplishment when I finally finished it. Would love to see more levels!

The learning curve was quite intense, so some further padding missions might be cool!

Very nostalgic art style and sound effects!
Great work

Solid original puzzle!

Very clever mechanic. The game does a good job of teaching you how to play it and then gradually ramping up difficulty. The colors are soothing and the sounds are pleasant, but a music track would have really brought it home.

One of the best games I have seen in the whole jam! The levels are so smartly designed that they are challenging to figure out, yet understandable. Please develop it further and include more levels and, why not, new mechanics?

clever puzzle game!

Very nice puzzler - took me a while to figure out what the plan was. I thought the second level was easier than the first.

got stuck on the one screen one with 3 sticks
