Beautiful game. Very calming art and music. A bit of a hint to what the different seeds do would have been useful.

Simple art but it all fit really well together which makes it one awesome looking game. It was a bit weird that you could move to the right with 'd' but not to the left with 'a'. I liked the guitar play although there was a bit of a hard mixed difficulty, some parts where really insane (although maybe I am just a total noob at this)

Graphics style works great and I like the music. And kudos for using Godot! However, the rhythm mechanism and control can be improved.

Haha this game is great! A very novel idea!

Minor point, but I do think it'd be easier if you could select items using the number keys instead of using tab. Obviously it's a nitpick and overall I really like this game!

Great work!

Very original (granted, I don't play rhythm games) and very nicely done! Have to practice my rhythm skills, though :-)

So cute! I really want to play more farming rhythm game snow. Good job!

Very nice, the graphics together with the music were setting a really calm and comfortable atmosphere :)
Only sometimes the music minigame felt a little bit unrelated to the music playing, but that may be just me :)

Nice graphics, nice music. I felt like it would have been nice to have more positive feedback from successfully hitting the timings on the rhythm bit but was nice to play

The visuals are delightful! So clean and lovely, and what a cute little koala. As someone who has played a *lot* of Guitar Hero/Rock Band/Frets on Fire, I agree that the rhythm wasn't terribly connected to the music, but the music and guitar were nice and went with the theme.

Fantastic work. I loved the music, there was quite a lot of amazing tracks for a compo!

Great visuals and concept. Perhaps I just suck at rhythm games but for me it felt a bit unforgiving in the timing to hit the note in right place. Good fun though and I still tried quite a few times more than I probably planned :)

Very beautiful graphics and a really interesting incorporation of the theme!!

I think I got one bug with the controls, though. I was using "D" to move right at first, but then realized "A" didn't work to move left. However when I tried the two arrow keys, they both worked. Might be something to fix :slight_smile:

The idea is so cute, it's really nice to play the guitar for your plants to grow! The music is really good, the graphics are simple and clean. Congratulations :)

Great job!! I love the freedom to put the flowers and plants without much stress and to play a super bad piece on the guitar from time to time.
That unbelievable, annoying sound, just glorious!
Keep up the great work, Best rated game so far.

played your game on a stream. thoughts are: it's a very nice little zen game and totally solid entry for a COMPO. maybe i am missing a bit of punishment for bad guitar skill ^)

go to 3:51:10 (it seems video links with time are broken...)

Nice calm game. I like a lot the idea of playing ukulele while waiting for your plants to grow. Music was good, but the rhythm minigame was a bit random. It was relaxing to play, keep up the good work!
