Really great game, too bad it isn't getting the recognition it deserves. And also, it's pretty gay! Who wouldn't like a really really gay game! It also has pronounce!1 found this helpful
A pretty short but sweet game, it's mechanically pretty unique, nothing complex but still interesting enough to never get tiring, and the game doesn't overstay it's welcome. The main thing that interested me with this game was it featuring a gay male protagonist, which is shockingly rare, there's hardly any that I've found, and I've been looking. So that was refreshing, and the story is pretty cute and wholesome, a bit predictable but I was still invested in the characters. I only wish we got more time with the Gardener and the Prince, but what we got was nice, and they kiss at the end so I can't complain.1 found this helpful
Man, this was so cute. A game where you help your lovestruck Gardener climb the towers to rescue the Prince so they can be gay as ♥♥♥♥. The gameplay of climbing the towers was pretty fun, cutting up the vines to grow leaf platforms never got old for me, especially with the combo system that makes you have to think about where to grow the vines and when to move to the next tower in the level. The dynamic between all the characters was pretty fun, even if the Magician did his whole "I'm the greatest at my craft and you will die" type speech. Game isn't too long, only having 4 worlds. But the story does make the game feel longer than it seems. Maybe we could have gotten a 5th world and rebelled against the King, he sounded like a jerk according to everyone in the game. The challenges were also fun, making you rush to get some great combos while being fast enough to beat the level. Made for a good time. If you wanna help a Gardener kiss the Prince he so desires, I recommend this game.
Really good! Launching yourself up towers by causing plants to sprout never stops feeling great, the levels are nearly always just the right length (as is the game overall), new mechanics are introduced at a good pace and never gets overwhelming, and the story sureness strikes a nice balance of silliness and heartfelt emotion. Definitely worth checking out!

pretty fun, interesting characters, go save that mf prince
