How does the game fit the theme?
You have to step on the seeds to make sure the invisible birds don't get them.
If you don't water the plants in time they will die.
If you try to harvest the plants wrong they will break and disappear.
If you do anything wrong the crop will cease to exist.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I made everything except for the system fonts if they count.

CREATOR ANNOUNCEMENT:
To Fellow Gamedevs:
I just want to let everyone know there are many games from this jam I would like to try, but sadly my PC can't handle WebGL 2.0. So if you're game is a web export made with Unity or Godot, chances are I won't be able to play it.
I realy love harvest games, realy gonne have to make one my own at some point, even if i went a completely different way this time hrhr ;) I like your sweet graphics and the feel it gives ;) Sadly it seems a lit buggey when trying to harvest and the controls need a bit of work as well. Keep on updating! ;)
Thanks for your feedback :)
If you're using keyboard-and-mouse I know exactly what you mean by the bugginess and less-than-optimal controls.
I accidentally made this mostly for gamepad (because that's what I was using) so the keyboard-and-mouse controls are kind of annoying.
As for the buggy harvesting, I was running out of time so I just threw together a simple (but not very intuitive) system for harvesting with the mouse. You just have to make sure you move the mouse between the left and right halves of the game screen instead of the left and right of the plant. (I kept doing that and I MADE IT)
If you're experiencing some other harvesting bug, let me know and I'll see what I can do once the jam is over. :)
Hii i checked out your game and i think its a cool idea that just needs some improvements! You should have added a tutorial to explain how it works and 1 of my ideas was to add more types of vegetables with different ways to harvest them! This is my game if you want to check it out: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-13/rate/3347702
That was actually my original plan.
I wanted herbs you had to snip by pressing 2 buttons at once, fruit type veggies like tomatoes that you had to harvest by holding a button while dragging the mouse or something like that, but I quickly realized that, based on my current skill in gamedev, I was overscoping.
I also desperately wanted to add a tutorial, but I only got the potato working properly within the last day so I knew that was out of the question. So I did my best to explain the controls on the game's page.
All things considered, I'm thankful I was able to make what I did.
Anyway, thanks for your feedback. Maybe I'll try adding more stuff once the jam is over.
(And if I can I will try out your game, but be warned I may not be able to play or rate it as my 15 year-old pc can't handle webgl 2)
This was an interesting submission! I did have to keep referencing the controls on the game page to understand what I needed to do next. But it was a fun little thing to play.
Thanks! I'm glad you put up with that haha.
I would have liked to add an in-game tutorial (much needed imo) but I didn't have enough time to figure it out.
Glad you enjoyed it! (:
