Wind Garden

I like the idea and gamplay seems solid. Good foundation for expantion into complete game!

Wow, really cool game. Had a lot of fun. Challenging yet chilling game.
The only problem is at the beginning you need to spam a lot those small plants to get more seeds.

Thanks you! Very nice art style and meditative mood and music! :)
However a bit to slow to wait for the seeds to grow, so I only finished the first level! But enjoyed it!

The game is really enjoyable and relaxing. Still a bit repetitive but I like it.

Very addictive!

Quite a nice game, I especially like the art style. I could have used a little more hands on guidance in the beginning, like a little tutorial playing with all the different seeds to understand them and the game's mechanics. Obviously not something to pack into the jam version, but just feedback if you're considering expanding this further.

This is so beautiful! Amazing art and music, the game feels magic!

Wow! I love the artstyle of this game!

@abi-code16 Always a great joy to read such comments! Thank you ))

Very nice little concept and it all works together so well, quite the harmony between game-play, graphics and sounds. Also gives off room to improve & expand on if desired. Had a fun & relaxing time with this, hopefully you'll work more on it, great work!

It very zen-like experience. I love the asthetics, music is very pleasant. The idea is simple but well executed. I would love to see more plants and bioms, but I understand the time limits.

Beautiful art and music!

The visuals are so good ! This is an amazing idea, I always wanted to make games with plants like this !

Everyone will probably say it, but it has to be said: the artstyle is awesome! The game looks extremely good, I can't believe it was done in such short time.

Moving on to gameplay, I think that the animation of deploying plants should be shorter/skippable? It gets old very quickly, especially when you have to deploy many small plants at the beginning.
Furthermore, it's pretty weird that it is impossible to scroll to the side in order to see what was planted earlier.

Overall very nice little game, the graphics are surely it's advantage. I can imagine it would be extremely enjoyable and relaxing with more biomes/ hazards/ price balancing. Nevertheless, it's impressive and I liked it.

@lisek-gagatek Thanks for the feedback! Camera work was a little tricky and I didn't have time to implement a nice way to move with a mouse. I think I will add a way to "pan" to the side with a mouse, in a look-ahead kind of way to see your plants. Or perhaps just a zoom out to see all the plants you already had.

New plants and biomes are actually really easy to add, so I will do that for sure for a post-jam version. Maya has drawn quite a few more plants that didn't make it to the game. I think there is a lot of room for different plants that help you in different biomes. Plants growing on rocks, a bee attracting plant that makes bees pick up seeds and move them forward etc.

Nice concept and neat mechanism! Hope to see more levels!

This is nearly the same as one of the ideas I had! :O Congrats, you implemented it well! :)

This game allows you to experience in real time how evolution works. Completely unpredictable and very slow... But I got to the fifth level, and I liked it!

This is definitely one of my favorites so far! The game feels really calm and relaxing, while still keeping you engaged. The art and background music were only adding to that. I can see this game be one of those, where you spend a whole night playing it, while being under a blanket and with a cup of hot chocolate.

It was a bit confusing to plan which seeds to shoot where, because they don't seem to go by the same path each turn. I always noticed me wishing that I was able to see where the seeds would go before launching them. Other than that, though, it is such a good entry!

@skelleroznik Thank you for the feedback! The idea is that seeds are carried by the wind, so it's a little random each time, I'm not really sure how I can make it more predictable without giving up the random-ish more natural movement.

It's unbelievable you made this game in 72 hours, levels are just perfect it gets complicated but it is really fun to create a strategy, music gives that chill vibes and works really well. Nice Job!!!

@nico-drake Thank you so much! Technically it's a Jam entry, so 72 hours, but we didn't have all 3 days of work because the weather was too good )

@nordwolf oh sorry thought it was a compo entry, it's is impressive anyways

This was a beautiful calming game. Sunflowers are my favourite :) I have one tattooed on me. It's really different and the gameplay and music made me feel really serene.

A great submission, Nordwolf ! I feel like this is a very relaxing game which thrives to capture a relaxed mood and fit the theme of delivery in a very unique way because there are not many games about planting seeds. The gameplay gets a little boring after awhile though if you build this game out perhaps you should add some upgrades to the wind. I had a lot of fun ! Have a great ludum dare!

@austin-sierra Thank you for the feedback! There are a lot of things that could be added for it to be less boring, I think just better gameplay dynamic/progression would make it work much better in general, but also more biomes/hazards/plants and general problem solving apart from just trying to go as high or far!

Very nice game. Beautiful graphics, nice mood, really innovative idea. Quite relaxing to play. Would be cool if one would have a little bit more control, e.g., by seeing the wind conditions and wait for the right moment. I also had the problem that the wind and fan plant always flew quite far away but I wanted to spread the beetroot more (maybe that was not the idea of the game 😁 ). But overall a really nice experience. 😃

Super unique game and take on the theme. Wonderful artwork, great vibes! Awesome job!

Nice job! The graphics and music are smooth and simply beautiful.

A beautiful, relaxing and original game. If there were more content it would be great but understandably 72 hours is such a sort time. Very nicely done game!

Very impressive. I especially liked how you managed to make it "feel" like the plants were actually floating in the wind. Very nice entry!

Hours, or at least it felt like hours, that I played this game. At least way longer than I usually play a game. Wow. You won me over with the very relaxing gameplay and music. Loved all the different plants one could use. Amazing game!

@trexxak Thanks a lot! We are really glad you liked it :)
