Interesting gameplay, I haven't seen this spin on a classic match game before, it's cool to try out. The bug that pulled me out of the gameplay the most was the softlock on clicking the lotus when there are no flowers to bloom. Aside from that, it is very fun to play. The sound effects fit well and are well balanced, the art is cute and keeps its simplistic style well. The UI is clear and well laid out, and the colour matches well. With a bit more polish and development I think this would do well as a casual match-3 game.

Very interesting gameplay mixing garden planning with QTE events. The gameplay and plant stats were a little overwhelming at first, and the UI is somewhat unclear in places. After a couple minutes of playtime I understood what to do, and the game mechanics are well balancing, striking a healthy mix of challenging but not frustrating.

The art is very nice, especially the boss sprites and plant animations, it really brings the world to life. I love the music and sfx, they fit well with the game's setting and complement the respective gameplay types very well, possibly my favourite part of the project.

I feel plant location and ability didn't have as much of an impact as I'd like, and there are a couple minor nitpicks like spelling and QTE placement over menu screens, but overall I really enjoyed the game and was hooked to the end. Incredible work to do in a game jam, nice polish and put together nicely, well done!
