Living for Plants
The Game
Victor the Skeleton Gardener has a passion for indoor gardening, but has no plants! Purchase and tend to plants, make sure they stay watered and pruned, unlock and customize new pots!
This game is designed for browser play, so it won't work on the app! Try it on Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc.
This project was made in 5 days as a challenge to myself to learn Godot.
How to Play
There is no main objective other than decorating your home with plants. Purchase plants with the shop on the left. You generate money by either selling plants or clipping off their extra leaves. The larger your plant has grown, the more money it will sell for. You unlock more pot options as you gain higher numbers of healthy plants. Have fun! :)

Neat little game! I saw the thumbnail for this game for a while back and my friend sent me the video you made about it and I gotta say, for doing this in five days that's a lot. I can't believe you made this in five days, my first video game I made ever (also made in godot) took me 2 months just to make a character, animation, and parkour. But you somehow did this in 5 days! Maybe it's because you have experience with C# so you know the basics of code? But you made a very good game for your first game in Godot, it's amazing and satisfying.
Btw: Everyone who's reading this, here's my strat...
1. Buy the Snake plant a couple times and keep selling it till you get around $50.
2. Buy as many Cactus' as you can (without running out of money, save around $20) and then sell them all and rinse and repeat.
3. Now that you're rich, buy as much plants as you can until you get THE FROG POT it's the best one.
4. Now just play the game however you want, buy any plant you want...and sell a few now and then, just to keep yourself rich.
That is my stratigy ;)...

Wonderful!
I'm making games in Godot now so I can look at your game to remind myself I can do that!
A delightful experience.
Nice game! Saw your YouTube video about it and figured I'd try it out. Earning more money and plants is very satisfying!
Just a heads up, game doesn't work in FireFox but got it running on Chrome.
That is strange, i use Firefox but got it running!
Adorable game :) Very peaceful!
have you considered giving the sprites for this lovely game away? I would love to use them in a similar game inspired by this game. thanks for making this!
we need a way to save the game cuz ur progress gets deleted when u close the tab and go back onto it
its been a while sice i played a chill game and this game was perfect to play.
I love the art
I got 2 plants and my laptop got angry at me for some reason
its really fun
Hello! I was looking for something relaxing to play, and I ended up making a Let's Play of your game!

I liked the choice of music; it made me feel kind of sentimental. Also, knowing that this game was made in Godot made me feel encouraged to pick up my game dev hobby again, since Godot is my favorite engine! Thanks for making this game!
this is my FIRST EVER project in game dev let alone godot:

Is it possible to see the source code of this game? I would like to learn Godot so I would be really grateful for it :)
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/step_by_step/index.html – godot getting started
I have free source code up on my itch page along with a YouTube tutorial that walks you through how it all works. It’s aimed at Godot beginners. Thought you might be interested. I was just looking at this adorable game (didn’t realize it was a Godot project) and saw your comment. Good luck with your game dev journey, however you choose to learn it! https://baconandgames.itch.io/lets-make-snake-source

Awesome Game! If this had more meta progression, a bunch more plants, and ways to upgrade your growing abilities, tools, cosmetics; I would play this for hours. I would definitely pay $10 or so to buy a game like that for my fiancee. She's really into plants and sim games like this. She spent a whole week playing a pizza making game with similar art.
Error
The following features required to run Godot projects on the Web are missing:
Cross Origin Isolation - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)
SharedArrayBuffer - Check web server configuration (send correct headers) what does that mean
It is a great fun simple game. Took the stress out from a hectic day.
I really love the shear sounds and how happy skelly gets :)
Is SO satisfying to trim the plants with all the sound effects.
Cool game
amazing and cute game, would love if it was longer and had more plant options. Nonetheless 100% recommend it <3
i like this game
how many plants? how much money????
