insane stage 1 score achieved just now #nnff #noneedforflowers

Poly is intended to be the hard one to score with and Esther is supposed to feel easy (oops lol). I'll probably be able to finish up the changes today, though!

the leaderboard has revealed a few mathematical quirks with tension, which make Esther **WAY** HARDER to score with late game (you have to do a PERFECT run for st 4, 5, 6 to get the achievement score as her, my b) (going to buff it asap because she's meant to be easier 😭) youtu.be/s3kbGbXUfvE?...

Almost perfect stage 5 Esther, but only 8.7 mil (??)

Being a niche fandom really show how much that I can't be normal because I care too much for this video game characters.. The fate for video games characters for me is you will be loved and make sure you forever remember. I used incorrect quotes generator btw #noneedforflowers #shitpost #meme #niche

Something way more lighthearted, here's Lily dressed as another renowned frog wielder! Had Native Faith and Kero 9 Destiny playing in my head the whole time, and that made me happy. Thank you Mongo for making such cute characters! #nnff #noneedforflowers #touhou #fanart #cute

Stage 2 is somewhat routing heavy and the strategy depends on which character you're using. Poly can do it by maximizing graze on the wave patterns, and Esther can do it with strategic bombing

the scoring achievements in NNFF are effectively no-hit Hard achievements in disguise

Mongo @mongosnow.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

You have to clear Hard without continues! (also thank you, lol)

Mongo @mongosnow.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

replaying nnff to win the leaderboard and I forgot how hard Iron Dragon was, lol btw Iron Dragon and Hard give roughly the same score, I was just feeling brave and crazy (IrDr only gives 464,000 more points total in the end-game bonus)

I've been haunted with visions of this meme for like a week. I had no other choice but to make it. great game btw. there are cute dragons so everyone ever should play it. #nnff #noneedforflowers

A variant of the "is it really worth it?" meme with the dragon character Silk from the game No Need For Flowers and a Buddha's hand citron. Silk's tail is circled in red, with an arrow pointing to the fruit.

The backgrounds in NNFF are made using a trick involving sprite scaling against the top of the screen as a horizon line + vanishing point to create a 1-point perspective illusion! #indiedev #gamedevelopment #GameMaker #furry #gamedev #nnff #noneedforflowers #steamgames #screenshotsaturday

Just got hard mode gameover messages working properly! Soon, the character you're playing as will complain to you (as intended) This fix will be added this weekend along with a few other adjustments, QoL features, and accessibility options #gamedev #nnff #noneedforflowers

For anyone wondering, the birds in stage 2 are anhingas! Mallow is a subtropical place (especially the stage 2 area), so I wanted to take the opportunity to sneak in a niche swamp bird #indiedev #gamedevelopment #GameMaker #furry #gamedev #nnff #noneedforflowers #steamgames

No Need for Flowers was intended to be a simple/realistic first project to practice being able to make more complex stuff in the future... In the end, it turned out pretty complex itself, lol

I'd like to thank everyone who's followed the development and supported NNFF! Seeing you as excited about the game as me kept me motivated, and made me want to see it through to the end. There's a lot of soul in this project, and it means a lot to me... I hope you like it!
