You are a bucket and you want to water flowers. You do not need a reason, you just do it.

You can fill up the water meter on the left by pressing S in front of a tap. You can water a plant by standing in front of the topmost part and pressing S. A flower is fully watered when it has a flower at the top.

You move left and right with the A and D keys and jump with W. When you are carrying water, you cannot jump as high, because you are heavier. The aim is to water all 10 plants.

Genres: platformer

Well, I have never played a game as a bucket before.

I really liked how you used the: water = wore jumping abilety, in this game. Nice and innoative.

I sadly didn't really think it was that fun though.But it was well made with a good concept. So you atleast you have that going for you :I

Ohh yea, one more thing. Music plz!

The bucket is just adorable with its little legs. :3 Idea is cool but somehow I couldn't make the first jump? (Even when empty) So either I'm doing something wrong

Figured it out! Watering a plant at the top is kinda weird and unintuitive. Even though I had read the description it should be more clear in the game itself. (Probably would have been better to only water plants at the bottom)

Hope this helps you! ^^

The jumping sound effect was pretty annoying but otherwise it was a nice game. Perfect length too for an LD game.

Was confused a bit by having to water the top of the plant, but apart from that I enjoyed the game. The "weight" mechanic is well done, makes you need to balance out your water need and jump height

I really liked this run. A fun puzzle platformer. Only thing I would change is the size, seems strangely long distances you have to walk or jump sometimes. That aside, great job.

I really liked this game! The animation of the bucket's little legs running sold it for me :-)

My one suggestion if you keep working on this would be to focus more on the puzzle aspect (as in figuring out which plant to water first in order to get to the next one) rather than the platforming aspect of making difficult jumps.

The concept of getting and carrying water around to grow things is really good and I hope you expand this!

Nice mechanics !
It just lacked of more art and audio, in my opinion but pretty good overall =)

Nice game, enjoyable, pretty tricky the last two jumps, 7 minutos was my time, good luck there!

Congrats funny little entry!

I need a walkthrough - I couldn't reach the 10th plant while carrying water :(

-1 for the jump sound effect, and the inertia can be tricky.

I really enjoyed your game, I liked having to balance on the last flower to get enough water in the bucket to allow me to make the last few jumps.

Completed it in 6:53, I'd say a large portion of the time was spent on the last two flowers :)

Very simple in graphics but overall I thought the idea was really good
