Let go of your inner demons by focusing on your inner garden. Guide the seeds to a happy place where they can bloom into a bountiful garden. Beware the pesky leaves!!
Very interesting mechanic in fighting against the wind to allow your seed to plant in the ground. The controls were not very intuitive at first, but once I got the hang of it it was challenging and fun. However, the seeds take quite awhile to hit the ground so I was not able to juggle multiple seeds at once. The spawn rate of leaves is also quite slow, so there isn't much of a threat in the game. Very innovative tho. Good job!
You had me at "Let go of your inner demons by focusing on your inner garden". This game was so peaceful and calming, but also so innovative! I haven't seen a wind mechanic used like this before, and for a gardening game of all things! Also very pleasantly surprised that the wind particles actually change directions based on your gusts. Super cute art, cohesive, and perfect for this jam! Bravo!
This was a very calming game, and super cute graphics! I wish there had been more of a goal, or more of a difficulty or threat. The leaves frowned at me, but they didn't do much else, and after I had seen all the flower designs, I wasn't sure what else I should stay to experience.
Adorable artwork! Just like Kushimoto I struggled with the handling of the wind at first, but as soon as I got the hang of it it was so much fun. Sometimes though I found myself overwhelmed by the amount of incoming seeds, because I wasn't able to move them in the way I wanted them to move due to the slow decent of them. However I think this is a great game and a really neat idea. Very well done!! :-) If you like feel free to check out my game as well: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/45/a-developers-adventure
Dang it, you already got me at the artstyle. But that was such a relaxing game. I think that the wind is a little weak, as it's really hard to orient the seeds where you want them to go before they hit the ground. But the music, the graphics... mmm, you're good. You're good. ;)
The game is cute and the controls aren't too bad once figured out. Not sure why the active game area is so limited, but that's not too big of a deal. The leaves seemed to not respond to the puffs of air for me, but maybe I was missing something. The biggest issue I had was, well, is there a win/loose condition to this? Maybe, but I didn't have the time to dedicate towards playing for longer than 10 minutes to find out. Maybe add some sort of element of progress to the game or a goal.
I love how relaxing the game is. Just subtly effecting the seeds just feels so good. The art style is really cute, and the music never felt to repetitive or un-aligned with the game. Good job to the whole team!
Nice little relaxing game. The graphic style is cute, you take pleasure in shaping your garden with a burst of wind for a while (but I must admit that you get bored after a while, due to a lack of purpose). I really like the fact that the shadows announce the seeds in advance. I guess it must be much better to play on a tablet or phone.
I really liked the style of your game! The mechanics are very interesting too. The indicator where the plants will grow and how the seed are falling was a bit hard to guess sometimes. the wind could have been a bit more axact. Great mood though!
Super cute graphics and music! Love the idea of an "inner garden" :two_hearts: The controls were a bit difficult -- it didn't feel like I was having much effect, but I'm also using a trackpad instead of a mouse rn, so that could have affected the effectiveness somewhat. Overall, cute vibe and nice work!
This was a nice relaxing garden. I wasn't quite sure why the leaves were bad, they didn't seem to affect anything very much? But that was okay with me, because it was fun to just watch my garden grow. I could see this being turned into an interactive art exhibit. Nice work!
Just by chance, I happened to play this game while waking up. It was a peaceful experience. The music did become rather repetitive, but the game itself was comforting. And it fit the theme perfectly. Way to go!
I like that they were animated and their individual little faces, though I do wish the beige flower wasn't sad! And if they did something else, like grew more over time, that'd be fun. I collected both seeds and leaves because it looked pretty. It was a cute short experience.

EDIT: Rather, all you devs are good.
I love art
Good stuff :8ball:
I couldn't figure out if I was doing the wind thing right - maybe a more precise display of the influence of the wind would be helpful?
Are some flowers always sad also? The yellow ones below never looked happy haha.
