I've played this game longer than i should have! There are some balancing issues but the game is fun and the presentation is near perfect! Cutest pixel art of the jam! Well done :)

Fun game! But I think you should have use less time on developing upgrades and more on balancing. But hey, the rabbits are so cute <3 Isn't that the most important?

That day my dog flew a spaceshipThe game is so cute! The visuals and sound wokr very well together on that. I lasted 1:47 with carrots on 2$, 100 carrots in stock and a full field. I didn't understand how to sell more carrots, as this was clearly the issue - making them very cheap didn't seem to increase the sales count, which was my expectation.

MicrophageSo I really like this -- great presentation, original idea, and I have Cookie Clicker open in another tab, so I have an unhealthy relationship with clicker type games (though obviously, this game is much more active and more strategic, since there's a lose condition). But maybe I'm playing it wrong, but I can't really go much more than 3 minutes. Very quickly, the farm fills up with carrots, and I can't purchase the next upgrade to slow down production since it costs 700 gold after I bought the first two already. I should expect that if I lower my premium carrots to just 1 gold, customers will flock to my shop like rabbits, but it doesn't really seem to get all that many more customers. I guess I think it'd be nice if you could see more transparently how the stock price was affecting customer appearance.

Centripetal ChaosThank you very much for your feedback ! In the current state of the game, 3 minutes is already pretty good ^^ As you said, the customers should come in pack when you lower the price, and in fact it raises the probablity of them to appear but clearly not enough. I didn't have enough time to refine the maths behind this as much as I wanted. Originally, I wanted to have a nice balance between lowering the price enough so that you can get rid of your stock fast enough and keeping it high enough so that you can pay your next bill and buy upgrades to stay in control longer. Anyway, thank you for playing !
Tutorial was okay, but too many features(!) The rabbits or whatever asking for a specific amount of carrot, keep that, and throw away the sell thingy! Would be much more cleaner. But overall, great game!

Cursed Date!Great art style and quite appealing presentation. Tutorial is tedious but understandable and well-done given the constraints. The actual game is honestly not very fun but I MAY have not fully grokked the game loop. Well done.

DiscoluminateI always have too many carrots! Even with improved quality and lowest possible price I can't get rid of them fast enough. Fun game, very polished art.

I Am Not A MinotaurGreat presentation, however it would be helpful if there was more transparency as to when costumers can appear or what the price should be set as. I found myself having no clue to at what price to set the carrots and having to learn just by trail and error accross playthroughs.

Crowd ControlThat's one pretty game! However, there wasn't much to do for most of the time. The tutorial is a nice touch, though a bit overwhelming.
