    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 fuck. 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…

    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!

    It's an okay game but I wouldn't recommend it. The vine growth feels very arbitrary; the position of a leaf after cutting a flower is difficult to predict, often only happening after falling below it, and the direction the character moves seems arbitrary. The combo mechanic feels out of place and encourages you to spend time cutting flowers rather than progressing the level even though there is no point in doing…
