The Gardener and the Wild Vines

You can tell right away this is a quality indie game. Easy to play, yet challenging. Great writing that is pretty funny. Highly recommended. One of the best games I've discovered this year. 👑

I've been enjoying it a lot, just enjoying the mechanics & some of the little bit of story that makes me laugh. It's got a decent amount of levels & though challenge mode disappoints me, surprised this is only $10. Imagery here may give impression it's a toddler game but it's not. A game people of many ages should be able to enjoy except the speedrun parts that most will give up on. Like a classic game from the start of the 3D gaming era (ex. N64 & Sega Saturn). Text is comical but know it goes out of it's way with the pronoun stuff (not preachy, catering). Has an invincible option if you just want to enjoy some platforming. Platforming up towers feels good, smooth & popping combo's by springing from one flower to another feels great. You can use leaves like a spring & there's something satisfying about grinding your tool into the wall for a glide. More things come in later levels but the things at start are fun to play with as you rotate around & go up each tower. $10 well spent.
