Keep watering the flowers of the sacred tree, so that they can grow and ensure a GRAND spring!

If you are not careful the flowers will wither and die!

Enjoy some slightly frantic gardening time during this quarantene.

My first LD and my first compo! What a rush, I used only 2 afternoons but I did iiiiiiit!

100% made from scratch, and all sound effects are registered and edited by me. I like recording and using foley in jams!

Play without music for a better experience. I was determined to make a tune, and made a horrid one in 10 mintes while learning BoscaCeoil, forgive me (but vote ruthlessly).

Tools:
- Construct 3
- GraphicsGale
- GIMP
- BoscaCeoil
- Wavosaur
- Cellphone (to record foley sounds)

Changelog:

- Fixed bug with walking speed depending on pc framerate.
- Game music can be toggled also in the title menu.

:warning: SPOILER - HOW TO WIN - SPOILER :warning:

In this game, the two plants accumulate thirst over time, and when it reaches a certain treshold they start to wither. When they wither to their smallest stage (sapling), they die. If one plant dies, you lose the game.

A sure way to win is as follows:

1) Water both plants immediately, once each. They should both grow, because they are born without thirst. If the second plant that you watered does not grow, water it again: it has become thirsty in the meantime.

2) Choose one plant to focus on, and keep watering it. The second plant should be watered occasionally, but if it withers it MUST be watered as soon as possible. The taller the plant is, the more it can survive without water.

3) Keep doing this once the chosen plant has fully bloomed. At this point the plant will be able to survive without water, so feel free to focus on the one you have neglected.

4) The second plant will also bloom thanks to your care. Congratulations, you have won!
