This game is so cool! Would honestly play a full version. You could have different plants require different waterings, soil care, sunlight. Build out the skeleton's world more and compete against NPCs in garden shows for coins. Add some more depth to the shop element with actual customers coming in to buy your plants. So many possibilities!
Anyway, thanks for this! I had a lot of fun with it :)
Very simple yet satisfying gameplay, clean and polished, letting you know though, I have scaling issues, playing on a 4k wide display the scroll bars are eating into the game window unfortunately, still had fun but would love a downloadable option to remove the bars.
The yt vid was awesome btw! kicked me back onto my game dev flow, thanks!
I am really bad a programming and stuff just cant rap my head arround it but this is so sweet and kinda what i think game development is i saw the video on yt and came here right away i think its so cute and thanks for showing how relaxing programing can be
I enjoyed your video on making this game so much that I had to come try it for myself. This is really fun and engaging. I simple love the art style. You did a great job! Thank you!

I had a fantastic time playing the game! I'm excited about the prospect of its continuation. It would be fantastic if you could subscribe to my YouTube channel—I'm looking forward to playing any upcoming games you develop!

This was such a cute little game!
Really lovely game. Well done!

i love this game it was soo relaxing and chill
Game is super cute. But, the music absolutely crawls on my system, and when you change the pot color you lose the water bar.
cool and aesthetic. If on mac using chrome, go to chrome://flags and set the one about ANGLE to Metal.
The art is super cute

Few thoughts I'd like to see;
Visually distinction;

Neat first godot project. I respect the attention to detail for a small scope.
Would love to see you try a small 3D game in the same engine. Perhaps a bite sized fps? 🍻
