Took me a while to find out what the patterns of the different flowers were and how everything interacted. But once you get the jist of it, the game is very enjoyable.

Good job :)
I think it would have benefited from a tutorial

I enjoyed the game. Music was nice it took a bit to understand what was happening, but after I figured it out the puzzles were really fun.

Wow, this is the first game I see in this LD using Pico-8. Good job! :) The game mechanics are a bit hard to understand at the beginning but then it's really nice!

Pretty interesting game, although I managed to bug it somehow. After criss-crossing the flowers a few times, it went into a growing loop, constantly growing in a pattern around it, making the game unwinnable since it destroyed the nearby flowers. Otherwise, very nice idea!

Interesting idea to play around with patterns to fullfill a result.

But you better write in the text a short howto. AT first it was not understandable to me, why i can't place the place flowers directly in the pots.

The icons on the right side are flowers. You place them yourself. But in your description you write you plant seeds. Also i would add a second layer for the pots, as it's not clear why you should plant the seeds outside the pots.

I mean...this is totally ridiculous :-).

But i like the idea. It's very innovative!! I also like Pico-8.

Really fun game! The later levels with the color mixing were really cool.

Really digging the retro look, feel, and sound!
Would've been right at home in an arcade back in the day. :)
