Love the idea! Found it interesting. The pixel art and sound effect really gave me the feel of surviving and hope

Submitted(+1)

Very unique concept and gameplay! I tried so hard to survive but I failed :(

Submitted(+1)

Love the art and the sound effect, it would be nicer if the menu UI matches the art style. Overall a great game!!

Developer

Thank you! Good point on the UI that's something I'll change next time I spend some time on it.

Submitted(+1)

Intresting game! I was a little confused about the game mechanic, but the art style is really nice.

Developer

Thank you :) yes I think adding some more explanations and reminder icons for each action spot would be the next thing to do

Submitted(+1)

you need to add icons to the elements to make it clearer what you get when interacting, and in-game training would be nice.

Developer

Yeah adding icons to each interactable thing is a good idea. Definitely something worth adding if I spend more time on it.

I enjoyed the art and the dialogues. I got your idea of growing plants to survive which is great, but I got confused over some of the design concepts and to be honnest I just spammed seeds in the end.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry it was confusing - would be very helpful if you could say which features didn't make sense.

Did you manage to win the game spamming seeds?

Submitted

I didn't win spamming seeds no but I managed to survive a few days !

What's unclear is the difference of uses between the types of seeds. I think that the UI would require some work in order to instantly grasp the goal of each element on screen. The biggets flaw is how short the days are, since the days are short, the player does not have enough time to get a propper look at every elements and doesnt make itself comfortable within the environment you created.

idk why the night is get too fast but it's ok😅,good jop!

I like the art and the ambience, it has a nice tone to it all. Would have been nice if all the art was pixel. I got a bit confused what did what, so I just kinda gave up. I survived a few day though. 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry it was a bit confusing. I think if I'd had a bit more time I'd have done some more tutorial to help explain things.

I like the idea for the game. Good job! And most important: you selected really good sounds for your game. They put something special in it. 

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the soundscape.

Submitted

Took some time to figure out what is what, but it made me wanna beat the game, and I managed to do it! Interesting game! 

Developer

Congrats!

Submitted

Great graphically, and the innovation and game design are excellent!

This game looks super good. Love the artwork.

I enjoyed the art and the overall vibe of the game. I felt that the game was a bit punishing when you're just starting, but it has a cool premise. Good work!

Submitted

This was so fun to play. The difficulty is just right I think and the graphics look pretty good too. Great job! :D

Submitted

The graphics are nice and the mechanics are fun

Cool pixel design and loved the overall atmosphere.

Loved the art style and sound design!

Awesome pixel art, it's so crisp, I also like playing the game too. Play my game!

Developer

I can't take credit for the pixel art, but I'm glad you like the game :)

Submitted

You are welcome!

Submitted

Very fun game! Nice and simple yet challenging as well!

Developer

Thank you, glad I got the challenge level right.

Submitted

Enjoyed this one. I love the art style and the atmosphere, just feels very well rounded in that regard. Took me a while to figure out what I should be doing though but maybe that's because I'm a dum dum :D Good job!

Developer

Thanks! If I had another day for it I think more tutorial elements would have been a a focus. Really enjoyed your game too!
