#### Help Panda in her ukulele practice session. :panda_face: :guitar: :notes:

Feed Panda with bamboo so she has enough energy to play.

Bamboo field is being overtaken by big bad weeds so new bamboo have limited space to grow. :bamboo:

Cut the weeds and burn them in a campfire. :fire:

Use your limited-capacity bag to gather bamboo and weeds before feeding Panda or burning the weeds.

Help Panda until she finishes her practice song (~3min)

Controls:
- Hold LMB on bamboo or weed to collect it.
- Hold LMB on campfire to burn all weeds from your bag
- Click LMB on Panda to give her single bamboo from your bag.

The music and atmosphere are super chill! The theme is elegantly used to support the main mechanics, and the gameplay is super juicy. I really like it!

I want to start a band with this lil panda. The aesthetics of this game are very soothing. Made it about halfway through the song before running out of space. I found myself getting a bit frustrated with needing to hold down the click button to harvest, but overall the mechanics were smooth and this game was very enjoyable to play.

I think your are a ukulele player :smile: Very easy to understand. The weed thrives too fast, my panda is hungry :wink:

Man, this must have been a great brainstorming session: "Hey owca, the LD theme is Limited Space" - "Cool eh, I guess I will make a game about a Panda learning ukulele" :smile: Super cute game, love the music and graphics! And the game was actually super well balanced for me. I lost the first round by just a hairbreadth (I wasn't sure if I won or lost because the timer was full). The second round I won barely. A very fun game!

Must be very exhausting to play ukulele :)

I like the gameplay and the atmosphere
However, holding down the key to harvest felt clunky and I started feeling the wear in my hand
I think the controls might be better of it was:
1) Just click to start the process
2) Clicking elsewhere cancels the current ongoing action and starts the other action
Then the player won't have to hold click and it'd have less strain on the hand

Otherwise, loved it!

Wow, this is a super polished compo game! The scope is very appropriate, it left me wanting more. Very well done!

I made it through on the first try. Loved the intro polaroid & intro divided to steps. Very cute concept and the panda looks very round. Nice animations & effects, the fire and smokes and sparks. Overall it's very polished, nice and balanced game and I liked it!

I think I suck a bit too much at this game haha! This is a pretty intense management game and the music and graphics are quite well done. The game has good feedback for player input. My main gripe with the game is that it was a bit laggy for me. There was a notable amount of lag on my inputs and the interaction circle updating to where my pointer was. Other than that, great job!

At some point the game sucked me in so much that I forgot about everything and just enjoyed the game. The atmosphere is amazing, the gameplay is addictive. Very soothing and relaxing.

It is an incredibly cute game with cute graphics. Your mission is simple but it is really fun. :D

Short, but cute and fun game

This is really impressive for a compo! Very polished and lots of small details, like the wind in the plants make it feel very alive. I really like pandas, so this game really spoke to me on an emotional level!

Very nice simple game, works well for what it is, not a lot to say. Maybe the interaction with the game itself could have been more satisfying/fun, otherwise great entry!

Easy to understand and fun to play :)

The game is great ! It can became a little bit tedious at the end with more weed than bamboo spawning but it's completely manageable. The ukulele is a really nice addition.
It could be great to have the option to spam click, holding click all the game can be tiring at the end.
It's a small complain, overall the game is very pleasant to play.

Pretty hectic, but doable with a bit of focus. Neat touch with that final note that plays the exact moment you win.

Simple, quite cute, easy to grasp and relaxing.
The music was also really smoothing ! :guitar:

I had fun playing it once, sadly it becomes tedious in the end which doesn't make me want to try it again.
That's still an enjoyable entry, great job ! :panda_face:

This was fun to play! I probably should had pay more attention to the instructions! Had to play it a couple of times to understand the mechanic, but once I did I was having fun! I think adding something different from time to time would increase the fun! This could be a nice game to play on a phone. Good job!

SO cute. Loved it, nice music and a well explained tutorial.

Cute game :D simple concept and didn't experience any bugs

Nice game!
I was super impressed with the graphics, especially since my 3D modeling skills are limited to sticking basic meshes together.
The tutorial was also well put together.
