This game takes me back. There used to be quite a lot of really popular games like this and its addicting every time, good job. I know this simplistic look is quite common with these types of games but if you find yourself content with all the gameplay when maybe add in some visuals. Great submission tho!
A solid base that can get addicting the further you get into it. An issue i have is that the simple aesthetic makes it hard to keep track of everything and some sound effects could help in letting the player notice if they are running out of certain things.
Very fun to play, ended up spending way more time on it than i thought I would. I love how the systems keep growing and expanding as you get further. The UI is a little bland, which in some cases work, but I think with this current setup it can be easy to miss things like manure building up too fast, and having all your hens instantly die. Overall though this is amazing and very fun to play!
Thank you for the feedback!
This game is a fun simulation that steadily becomes more complicated as it progresses. At one point while playing, I described it as an RTS without combat. It very much felt like I was building an economy and had to balance my resources. The resource management components do feel theme adjacent.
A couple of pieces of feedback as we move into our final week. First, I do think a short tutorial would help players make better decisions earlier on, understanding that more items will unlock as the game progresses. Second, the game is aesthetically simple, which doesn't necessarily harm it given the nature of the game. However, I do think adding in some sound effects may be helpful particularly when new unlocks become available.
Overall, this is an interesting entry in the field. Wishing you the best of luck as we move forward!
Thanks for your feedback! That's extremely helpful and you got it.
