  • Enjoyable, charming, the recipes were intuitive (Based on color/shape compared to their components). It was hard to make more money, but perhaps that was just my inability to plan properly. The discrepancy between pixel art sizes felt jarring, text is probably too big. Despite the very very simple crafting system, the amount of recipes and client variety is very lacking. A small sound effect for the door opening would add a lot to the atmosphere. The click area for "next" page of items in your inventory can sometimes make the player click the hosue instead by mistake.

It was nice planting the flowers and seeing them come up the next day. Experimenting with the potions was fun (and the recipe book was a nice bonus). The music was pleasant, and didn't outwear its welcome.

I did have a little trouble figuring out the UI at first--the second row of UI elements at the top had me fooled for a while. I think it would have been possible to display all the icons simultaneously.

Overall, a solid entry. One thing that might have made everything a little more fun might be a bit of flavor text: names for the different plants, names for the different potions, names for the different monsters.

I'm glad you enjoyed the game! I did in fact add some names for the flowers, but they only show up on the tooltips. I didn't even think about adding other names but now I do see where it might have helped. thanks for your feedback!

This is fantastic! I'm so happy to see all of the amazing additions you made! Everything is so lovely, and I love the book of recipes. 

I really love this game, the aesthetic and vibe :) I guess the main thing that I'd say is the game is a bit slow at times! It was a bit hard to plan ahead to buy the seeds needed,  especially when the prices were growing it felt a bit too slanted to the point where I felt like i wasn't making back the money I was spending. BUT it was a lot of fun regardless! I adore this game and the aesthetic so much!! <3

This is such a cool little game!! I like how quick it goes and there wasn't a lot of the tedium that farming games usually have (plowing and watering specifically). I liked being able to put a seed down and click next day, haha, so I could make more potions!

Things I would love to see before the submission deadline:
A quick tutorial on the entire game.

Small library to see what makes what once you figure it out


I think that alone will majorly boost the scores it will get!

thanks for the feedback I will try and add this before the deadline.
