I like the minigame format. The art looks very nice and I like the visual style. I never really understood what the different particles on the plants meant. Kept me entertained for all 10 nights (final score 22). I think the farmer got desynced with which plant they were visiting when there were a lot of plants in the field.

Gave me all the Stardew Valley vibes! Great concept and a very cute game :)

My score is 16!

I really like the idea! Excellent execution for a game jam in the limited time.

I think it can be a bit repetitive, if you do a future iteration introducing the new versions of plants later on would be more fun/keep you on your toes. I had a lot of trouble with the "bloom" button and it would be nice if that bar changed size/position for variety. It was also unclear for a bit what the "shiny" and "dripping" icons meant.

But again, great concept and execution, could use a little more iterating for smoothness but I'm sure you know that- great job finishing in the time!

Your game is so good, very chill

A little slow for me... Loved the art and feel, but the day process became tedious when the garden became full.. although this might be relaxing for some.

Because of the kind-of random order in which the plants are planted, it's hard to know how long they've been there. It doesn't seem to be important for this game, but it would be nice to have an element of strategy by knowing how long it's been since they were planted or they last grew and having a limit to how long they can last without a growing action. If there is already one, I didn't see it and I felt like there was no way to lose, so the game never ends (maybe that's the point?)

I like the game, especially the arts and the idea of having many mini games.
