Thank you friend! I'm glad you found it calming :) I wanted this game to provide a brief, relaxing respite from the daily routine and comments like yours makes me think it worked! I really appreciate that :)
This game is absolutely dripping with atmosphere and I'm obsessed with it. I love the rain , it's calming and soothing, and you captured that perfectly. I couldn't help but smile to myself even while reading about how the world is drowning and cities are being destroyed. Every little bit of flavour on the descriptions of the plants just served to build on this too, making this a truly beautiful experience, especially for a 48 hour game. There's not much depth to the gameplay which normally I would find boring but here I didn't really care, I just wanted to sit and listen to the rain and the guitar and tend to my plants :)
(p.s. I gotta know, what does outofcontrol do? I couldn't figure it out!)
Thank you so much for your thoughts. I'm really glad you found this a calming experience, and it makes me really happy to know that someone found this game enjoyable and relaxing :)
Ps. The OutOfControl function just makes the tiles flash. I was going to have it randomly feed each of the tiles but I didn't have time sadly.
Interesting game, very soothing! I did notice that the rain effect seems to break once it reaches the stage where it logs "A small town is submerged by a rogue stream", where the rain sprites only pan horizontally in the top of the screen. I'm guessing the idea here is that you try to gain control over the rain, an element that is inherently outside of our control? A very cool concept, though I'm not sure if the mechanic of sacrificing actually advancing the rain really gels with it.
Also, outofcontrol command. What does it do? I've spammed it and nothing seems to happen :D
Thank you for that review - the sacrifice thing sure was a stretch but I really was at a loss with the game loop there :P And thank you for noticing that rain effect breaking - I swapped the axes for the rain's direction vector and that ended up making it go off screen :/
Well done, not sure if there is an end, but I also sunk way longer than I expected into this game. Nice music, visuals. Great jam game, leveling system would be nice but hard to do in 48 hrs ;). I also suck at typing sacrifice :D
Thank you! There is in fact an end, though there are a few minor glitches before that. It took me about 10 minutes to complete the game, and yes, I can't type sacrifice either. I left in an alternate command (burn) that does the same thing, but I thought that made little sense in a rainstorm so I left it out of the documentation :))

Saw the video and had to try it. Lovely game!
Thank you! I'm glad my video was that compelling :P
I personally love the sound of rain so this was a nice relaxing experience.
Love it. Love the music, love the art, love the calming atmosphere of the game. I really like your guitar chords :)

I've played to day 110 so far. Story messages stopped long ago, after the first pair of highlighted lines. Was that the end?
The audio gives a really chill atmosphere. Being able to paste text would have been neato. I still spent about 20 minutes playing it. Well done!
Thank you! I'm not sure why you can't paste text, but I think that might be a browser limitation as I was able to do so while testing it :)
The video about the making of your game was just reccomended to me on Youtube :D!
you can paste text but you have to copy the text inside the game and paste it inside, text copied outside wont work , bit weird but it is possible
