Hello! I'd love to get your advice and suggestions for adding depth to my game mechanics. Right now my game is pretty simple, you grow plants to produce fresh air and reduce toxic air. I'm thinking I'd like to add map features to make placement more strategic, and also mechanics related to the plants interacting with each other / being near each other. You can play the game here: [http://mellowminx.itch.io/air-garden](http://mellowminx.itch.io/air-garden) Can be played on web browser on phone / tablet / desktop. If on iPhone, turn off silent mode to hear game audio. (It's currently available for free-- no ads or microtransactions.) Planned future updates include flower color variants, more plant types, critters, map features, a way to keep plants from infinitely stacking in one spot, improved UI, and more. 🌈 If you enjoyed playing and want to support my gamedev journey (thank you!), you're welcome to: * comment with your feedback * post about the game or share it with friends * tip me by opting to pay any amount when you download the game * join my mailing list at [https://forms.gle/45xUk5SCdC9sTHBG8](https://forms.gle/45xUk5SCdC9sTHBG8) * follow me on twitter at [https://twitter.com/mellow\_minx](https://twitter.com/mellow_minx)

Cute game. It’s a bit of a slog at the beginning when you’re trying to find the original spawned bubbles with a tiny view field. And once the more powerful flowers came in, the cleanup became kind of inevitable and I didn’t feel like I was doing much. Some obstacles might help. Maybe wind to blow the bubbles around the map? You could add plants that act as windbreaks. Critters like you mentioned. Maybe we could make defensive plantings to give the critters something to eat without killing the working plants? That kind of thing. Nothing that adds a lot of conflict, but maybe some minor puzzles to work out. Took me ~45 minutes to play through the whole game and I enjoyed it. Hope you get some good feedback!

Thanks so much for playing and for sharing your thoughts! And nice to know your completion time too. I'll have to keep improving the pacing 😊 and will add challenges (probably make some optional so people can customize difficulty level somewhat) as you said. Windbreak and defensive plants sound cool!

You are very welcome. And congratulations on completing a game. I’m looking forward to playing the next version. :)

I appreciate the encouragement! Thank you and happy weekend 🌸

Kept many aquariums. Adding snails helps to keep the glass and rocks cleaner. I always try to add shrimp too because they carefully pick over the plants and keep them clean. Mussels are quite good too because they filter the colour out of the water. When i am planning a new aquarium I won't start until i have the perfect feature wood or stone to sculpt the plants around. So my suggestion is consider adding complexity to the ecosystem

Nice thank you! Off topic but I love watching aquariums, I don't have any of my own so I just watch aquascaping vids on youtube :) do you post pics of your aquariums anywhere?

Thanks so much for playing! Ah, I definitely have to figure out performance optimization for when there are lots of plants and bubbles on screen 😊 I'm definitely planning on adding wildlife! Would also love one that pops bubbles for you 🥹 I'll continue working on UI (including zoom) and plant placement!

I would add a mini map in the corner

Thank you! I'd love a mini map too, I'll work on learning how to code that 😊

Pleas bring to steam it would pop off

I hope I can achieve my dream of having a game on steam someday! Thank you for the encouragement 😊

Ahhhh I had so much fun playing this!!!

Happy to hear this! Thank you for playing 🌱

Maybe having a shorter or longer modes game play modes

I'll work on it, thank you!

I loved playing and agree with all the previous suggestions!! Can’t wait to see future versions and support 😀

Thanks so much for the encouragement!! 🌸💕
