Nice art and concept. I liked playing there farmer, not so sure if i unterstood the role of thief.
Hopefully after the jam I'll make the thief role more fun and make sense. Thanks for playing!
Interesting concept. I had fun playing as the farmer, but I was not sure why I should sabotage the plants when I’m the thief. So, I don’t think I understood the main idea of role reversal here, but the game does look good overall.
For now you get some points when you sabotage so you have to think strategically on which plant to sabotage, but I'll add more content and make it more fun and rewarding as the thief!
Thank you for playing!
Really cool concept, i just think the thief should have more content, hope yall keep this game up
Thank you, we will add more content after the game jam, you can follow me on itch to keep up with future updates if you're interested!
Thanks for playing!
Great concept, but I don't really get the thief, yes you can destroy your crops for some points, but it's much better to just harvest them and sell. Overall good, also nice art!
I'll make the thief system more advanced and make the reward higher to sabotage, thanks for the feedback. Thank you for playing!
fun game, only one critique, unless I'm super stupid (very likely) there is no incentive to ruin your plants, but otherwise game is good. also btw the water sounds are rlly loud (also also Im Sam Boyd from AIA's stream)
Thank you sam, ill hopefully add incentive to ruin plants and make the thief part more fun and rewarding.
I noticed that the water sound is very loud right after I released the game (and as i was watching the stream), I'll adjust the sounds of the game and give it more polish after the game jam. You can follow me on itch if you're interested in future updates for the game!
Thanks for playing (and for vouching for me :D)!
i beat this game in 15 seconds
Definitely the best score haha, thanks for playing AIA! big fan here :D
I like this concept! The fact that there aren't enough spaces to evenly plant each type of crop forces you to strategize in an interesting way. It would be nice to have some more incentive to sabotage the crops other than points, like maybe having some customers want to buy rotten crops for whatever reason, or rotten crops being turned into fertilizer. Great job overall!
Thanks for the feedback, I like that idea, maybe I can implement it after the game jam. Thanks for playing!
Good concept, and a pretty unique take on the whole "role reversal" thing. I really wish the pause button worked so I could take a moment to stop and strategize. Similarly, the timer ran so quickly that it was difficult for me to make strategic decisions (this could maybe be helped by making the customer's requests visible in a sidebar or something). Nice art and music!
Thanks for the feedback, sorry I wasn't able to implement the pause menu or main menu because of the time constraint. I really like the idea of making a sidebar for the customers maybe sort of like a way to bookmark them, or a button that expands the "order" of a customer, thanks for the idea!
Thanks for playing, glad you liked the art n music!
It's an interesting game, with a lot of complex systems playing off of each other!
The controls were sluggish to use, even with the sprint button it would take the whole day to harvest & plant crops and I wouldn't have time to sell any. And if I skipped planting some crops, the thief would just have to sit around all night because there'd be nothing to put bugs on.
I wish there was a bit more explanation in game, I would never have realized the food stand was a thing without reading the website. I just assumed the customers were the only way to sell.
It's a little weird that the farmer has four things they have to do during the day (planting, washing/trashing, harvesting, and selling) but the thief only does insects?
Unfortunately I couldn't submit my high score... according to the game I was in the top 10 but there wasn't any submit button, and the enter key didn't do anything lol.
I really like the concept, and with more polish it could be great!
I'm glad you liked it, I'm sorry about the controls we'll try to make them feel better, glad the website was able to clarify some things as I didn't have enough to make a main menu let alone a tutorial.
I didn't really have time to add more features for the thief, I was thinking of making it more of a stealth game and have a button that lets you skip the night (exactly for the reason you mentioned).
Sorry about the scoreboard, I think if you wrote your name and pressed enter it submits your score (you cant see it the first time) but the second time you play and finish it you'll see your score pop up (I added the leaderboard very late in the game jam so I couldn't really test it I just hoped it worked lol).
I will be adding more polish after the game jam and make the game more playable, fun and less repetitive, while also making it fair for the farmer (because he's got so much to do), I had to speed up the game clock so I don't waste people's time while they try to playtest games and rate them in a game jam. I'll definitely adjust it fairly and add a lot more polish, if you'd like you can follow me on itch to get notified when I update the game!
Thanks so much for the feedback and thank you for playing!
The concept is really great. The saboteur part feels underdeveloped as you just sabotage 3 plants and sit and wait. Also I feel the time limit on farming makes it so that you just rush to plant and water everything before the day ends making it so that I couldn't really walk over and look at the orders. But overall the game was pretty fun
I'm sorry you felt that way, I'll add more polish and make it fair for the farmer to be able to do all these tasks comfortably, I'll also add more content for the thief so it's more fun to sneak around and try to sabotage for extra points. You can follow me on itch to see the later updates for the game if you're interested.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
I was really bad at this game, felt like there was like no time given to me but otherwise I thought the concept was interesting! Would be cool if the bad guy had more things to do cause as of rn it just feels like he removes some of the tiles for the farmer and that's it.
Yeah I was gonna implement stealth elements (dodging cameras) and more ways to sabotage the plants (for better amounts of points), I didn't have time to do that, and I made the clock go by fast so I don't bore playtesters during the game jam, I'll update the game and polish it more after the game jam. You can follow me on itch if you'd like to try out the game after the update!
Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!
can we get much higher...So highhhhhhh
5s homie, good job
Appreciate it, thanks for playing!
Heyhoo, thats a nice game you have made there!
The concept and gameplay feel very nice and I like it!
Would have wished the day to be a little longer and the night to be a lil shorter (because I had trouble harvesting, selling AND planting in one day). Also sometimes the harvesting menu was overlapped by the player or just didn't go away when night suddenly started while being on the field. And the player could have been a lil faster in my opinion.
All in all, an amazing game for the 48h jam! Hope to see an update in the future! :D
Thanks! I was planning on making the hour go slower but since it's a game jam I didn't wanna waste people's time by making them wait til night haha, wanted it to be fast paced so people got the idea quick, I'll definitely extend it after the game jam I also found it overwhelming to try to do all these tasks at once but I got good at it later on.
I'm aware of the UI issues I didn't have much time to polish and fix these little bugs, hopefully they weren't game breaking though.
Also you can run if you press Left Shift (Controls in itch page of the game/tutorial), thank you for all the feedback and for playing I'm glad you like it, you can follow me to see updates for the game, I'll definitely add more content, make it more fun and less repetitive while also polishing it up!
I like playing this game! I think it would be a coll multiplayer game with like one player the farmer and the other the thief but overall a good game!
Good suggestion, glad you enjoyed playing. Thanks for playing!
The game is very creative. The player is a little too slow for me. I could see this becoming a party game for robbers vs. farmers.
You can run while pressing shift, I have the controls written on the itch page, I couldn't add a tutorial/controls UI ingame sadly because of the time constraints. I'm glad you liked it though, thanks for playing!
Very creative twist to to farming games, well done :)
Thank you! Glad you liked it :D
Pretty fun game with a clever twist on traditional farming simulators! I did run into a bug where I was able to continuously click the "sell all crops" button by the food stand as the thief since the UI popup didn't go away -- ended up with an astronomical number of points, haha. Nonetheless, I found it really fun trying to maximize point output the intended ways! Great work on the visuals/sounds.
Thank you for pointing out the bug, did your score display in the scoreboard? It pops up after day 5 ends.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
My score actually couldn't display in the scoreboard because it wouldn't let me submit it for some reason (I tried hitting every key I could think of and the text just stayed in the box?). I figured that was fair enough anyway -- I got something like 21600 points 😅
Of course, it was my pleasure!
It does display, I was playing and saw the scoreboard ingame and your name was something like "cheated" or something I don't recall but this is your score on the scoreboard (and your player ID) in the database.
Thanks for playing though at least you told me how to fix the bug haha :D
Ahh ok. Yeah it just never showed up on the UI for me — I was kind of softlocked in the text box by the end of the game. Anyway glad you have the proof and the means to fix it! Sorry I messed up your leaderboard though 😅
You didn't haha, thanks for pointing out the bug!
No problem!! And again, great work on the game :)
Thanks! (Great job on your game too :D)
You’re welcome — thank you!! :)
I liked the art style. It was fun to play!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the game, thanks for playing!
Fun little game! Love the art on this one, too bad the farmer is bipolar, he really neds a psicologist if he wants to eat some crops xD
Hahahah that's so funny, no one has ever accused him of being bipolar except you, that's hilarious thank you for the laugh (and for playing)!
