The art was really awesome for this style of game! I found it pretty relaxing and figuring out what to plant in order to sell the best. I was confused on the theif role and didn't really use it at all but I see from the other comments that it just wasn't fully done. Would love to see it completed! Good luck!

The game art looked very well and the game was relaxing and fun but as the thief why would I want to kill my plants if I win selling them? i could just do nothing as the thief so my crops were still collectable and then selling them. but the game idea was great and the game was relaxing and with satisfying sounds. Well done!

Don't save my princess!Hopefully I'll expand on the thief part after the game jam and have it be more rewarding for the player to sabotage their own crops, it's supposed to be a strategic and a gamble at the same time where u can either risk taking the chance for some extra points, or just skip it.
Thank you, I tried to have nice and satisfying SFX for every action haha, glad you liked it. Thanks for playing!
What you managed to create is pretty good. I thinks it needs something more for the thief role, cause I didn't know why should I sabotage the plants. And also I think it needs money and price for the plants to make it more engaging. Other than that I think you did a great job !

Endless helperNice art and concept. I liked playing there farmer, not so sure if i unterstood the role of thief.
Submitted
The Evil and The DeadReally cool concept, i just think the thief should have more content, hope yall keep this game up
Submitted
Rescue MissionGreat 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!

Hungry Serpentfun 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)
Submitted
BulletFps2Thank 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 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!

Screw This Fish in ParticularGood 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!
Submitted
The Black KnightThanks 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!

Damsel IndomitableI'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.

ribbit townYeah 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!
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

Sheep Gone WrongThanks! 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!
Submitted
Valor SoldThe 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.
