Very addicting game i'm not sure in a good or bad way :) But i enjoyed playing it and for now this is my the most played game (about 1-2 hours) in the jam. Really cute and nice visuals except of font - can't read it clearly and it's not that interesting. It's cool that you have a different coefficient for flowers (as previous commenator noticed about blue seeds) because it brings depth in game. That hooked me up and i've started optimizing the whole process and here i am with the dream:
I'm not sure if sharing assumings (aka spoilers) about items (coffee, gun and etc) is ok for you, so i'll wait for your answer first before i'll do it. Are you ok with it? Also i prefer to know what do what because i still dont't know about everything and i for now i don't want to gather this info from experimenting but i had some idea - i offer you a letsplay/review of a game where i can do something like that but i'm not sure if it'll be long this time (also i don't speak english so good, so it can be a problem, if you understand russian (my native language) then it would be much easier)
About possible improvements:
1. Make second flower more usefull, right now im ignoring it mostly, because it's not worth it
2. Would be cool if lifebuoy give abilty to swim. I don't know if that would be imbalance or even broke the game but at least it can make experience entirely different
3. Font, as i mentioned, should be more clear
4. May be more clear item descriptions. I don't know if you did that intentially to explore it which can be ok but it's difficult to understand who is who now, at least for me, even after playing 1-2 hours
5. I don't think that fields at the right are in use that much... Because with my current info of things i'll better don't go there in night so i can plant at only left ones
6. May be ability to skip rest of a day - again it can kinda broke mechanics because you can avoid wolves at all, may be add it with according item?
So waiting for your answer) Resume - great gameplay, i like dashing a lot, deep planting system, scary wolfes, good audio and visuals, for me best game in jam for now (i don't think i'll find something better in the rest 20 ones UPD. Aaaand, i was right :) )

Thank you for your review!. We're very glad you enjoyed the game and your feedback is great. The flower prices and all the other parts of he game need to be reworked. A let's play of the game would be an honor and I do speak russian, so that would be totally fine too. Though I don't know, what your youtube is.
Hi! I'll be playing Sunboi tomorrow on stream along with several others games from the jam at 3:30pm EST. I'll be talking about any interesting design decisions as I play, and suggesting improvements if any come to mind. Please feel free to join me live, it'll be extra fun to chat together about your game while playing it :)
I love this game so so much, the art style is amazing and once I started playing I couldn’t stop. At one point I got an error and I’m not sure what happened but it was quite late in the game so I was still able to enjoy it. Great job! :)
This game has a BEATIFUL artwork and the idea of planting seeds to get money is awsome. In the night i got in the lategame into trouble with the wolves but with the items in the shop it gets better. I really struggled sometimes to plant all my seeds lol.
The animations are also wellmade and the dash is pretty useful
Advice: The blue Seeds are actually better than the golden ones because of the money you earn for them for their price :D
