I think the game was a great experience with a lot of fun!

Solid idea. Very difficult to play though. I think the timing of the flowers dying needs to be randomised a bit so that they don't all die at the same time.

Nice game, proves challenging to play though - climbing is a little annoying, ideally it wouldn't auto-climb when I got close to the right hand platform and in other spots though as I expected to just fall down to refill. Good job though!

The game link seems to be broken? Says "We couldn't find your page"

Hey, nice work! I was confused by the ladder at first, thinking I could climb it. It's definitely challenging to keep them alive after around the second time they all start wilting. Someone else suggested randomizing the timing for that, which I think could help.

I don't know if this would be an improvement or not, but you could try expanding the map and making the camera follow the player, so all of the flowers aren't visible at once. It might make it more engaging, since you get some more variety on the screen?

I made a flower game too, but I made it from top-down, so it's cool to see a platformer version.

Great music - I loved how the flower was timed to the music in the menu! The graphics were also nice. A couple more animations, like for watering the plants, would've given some more visual feedback to the player.

Nice work guys! It was fun to play, and I hope it was fun to make :)

Nice music and theme, I couldn't seem to climb the ladder very well

jumping felt weird but interesting idea :)

pretty good, I think some particle effects for the water would go a long way

Our games are pretty similar so of course I think this is a good idea that matches the theme. The graphics are nice, the music was simple but it fit. I'm not sure the climbing mechanism works the way it was intended. In fact it seems like the ladder isn't climbable, the only way to get to the top platforms seems to be to jump and collide with the bottom of the platforms.

Cool game, I got a good route going, was fun to keep max pace to water as optimally as possible. Nice and simple :D.
