Tend to an abandoned garden deep underground.


The original jam game was made in less than 48 Hours for Nordic Game Jam 2016.

FEATURES

  • Recreated the growing system. Now you actually water the soil!
  • Added an additional plant that hadn't made it into the jam build (more to come).
  • Added the Bag of Seeds, and Seeds. Take control over where plants grow!
  • Added the Shovel. Dig up unwanted plants.
  • Added Toggle Controls. Simply click to pick up/drop objects. If you prefer holding, simply hold. :)
  • The game now saves on exit. Return to your garden!

FIXES

  • Fixed the initial water level in the well. It now starts full.
  • Tidied up the collisions for waterdrops/bucket.
  • Fixed how the music behaves for the plants. Volume will now decrease when plants wither and die.
  • Fixed the infinite water source glitch from tilting the bucket too far.
  • Fish no longer swims in the air.
  • Tweaked the border graphics and background. Will do a visual overhaul in a future update.
  • Various edge-case fixes.

Hi! We played your game on stream and really enjoyed it!

(+1)

got a liiiiittle bored after i couldnt water my plants anymore and they started withering away to nothing sooo i made a little iffel tower out of seeds

A nice lil relaxing game, wish there was a manual though cause i only found how to fullscreen and refill the well via comments

Please add something rewarding, like money that you can buy stuff with. That way people don't click of the game instantly and its more fun

Hey man, I still remember you and your game (this one!) from NGJ16, We were in the same showcase group. I just wanted to say that all your stuff is so fucking good. You are an amazing artist and designer in general, and I think about your games from time to time! I hope you're doing well and wonder if you're still making games and all? I hope so - would suck to miss out on more of your creations :)

Tried to find the noises of everything by placing several of just their seed on the board 

purple-blue swirly seed - flute sounding noise? not too sure what it is

cactus seed - string instrument, most hearable sound in normal planting. violin?

minecraft emerald shaped but yellow tree seed - seems to also be a violin but the noise is more consistent and shifts less. 

sunflower seed - underlying tension bass

literally just a green circle seed tree -  slight tambourine or bells ringing

corn seed - makes the noise of corn. I mean. Well I don't think it makes a noise at all

four green squares looks like tree seed - absolutely nothing

leaf seed it's green and it has leaves - it makes noises when it grows. yknow, like everything else in the game

pink twisty seed - silence

pink flower looking seed - oh finally something that makes noise. drums hitting thing. instrument you hit

ones that don't make noise are possibly because they do something unnoticeable on their own like shift tempo of certain plants (not testing that) or just because I can't hear them.

Soooo. Turns out, if you stack two or more seeds on top of each other, then grab the lower one, you can lift them up, drag them higher, but not lower again, then when you let them go, they just stay floating. Also: Am i just not getting the concept of the game, am i just to dumb to play it or is there no way of refilling the well?

Interesting bug! It's been a while since I've ever touched the code for this.

As for refilling the well, there's a hole in the wall you can click on. 😊

This was a relaxing game to play. It was fun to try and grow all the different types of plants available.

this game is nice to play before bed

PT BR

Eu gostei do jogo, só achei com pouca coisa para fazer.

EN USA

I liked the game, I only found with little to do.

Neat little game, it has such nice atmosphere.

I personally had a lot of fun with this little game. It's one of the most relaxing games I've played in awhile. I have some deeper thoughts in my video along with my first reactions to this wonderful little experience.

Could you please export a Linux version?

A cute game, though its kind of sad it only took me minutes to finished the game. For me, it would be more awesome if you could prolong this game (like adding some events). Also, the graphics and the control is simple but cool.

Anyways, thanks for the game! its super-duper short but it relaxed me. :D

how do you get the plants to grow overhead? it wont let me

I found your small game really calming and peaceful! It's nice to see something relaxing when everyone is rushing about. Especially where I live where there are "rush hours" and people cramp in subways and run everywhere. Where cars crash and bikes slow everyone down.

It's refreshing to see something that takes time. Thank you for making this game!

Hello! I enjoyed your game a lot, it looked wonderful and had some awesome sound design as well! I made a let's play of it alongside another game here~

Juicy!

I made a plant game too but it's not as good looking.
