Really interesting game! Loved the idea, maybe the game can speed up over time to up the difficulty? Great job!

Developer

Thank you! I really liked your game :)

Great idea to make the speed increase over time!

This is a really fascinating concept. It took me a second to understand what was happening, but I had a particularly enjoyable "ah-ha" moment when I did. Looking at some of the other comments it seems I am not the only one who thought the game was a bit slow, but nonetheless it was enjoyable. The lack of instructions made it a bit difficult to understand what was happening so that would definitely be something to improve on. I also found my inability to remove fences somewhat frustrating as it eliminates some of the strategy involved. Overall it's impressive for 48 hours, and good job!

Developer

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! Glad you enjoyed the game some despite it being slow. We ran out of time to tune it at the end. Would really have liked to have worked on the pacing to make it more exciting and  just flesh out the fence mechanic more. Removing fences is a really good idea!

The game is beautiful and I love that it has to do with farming, but I found it a bit slow, but other than that, I think it's a great game.

Thank you for playing! Yes, we 100%  need to adjust the speed.

This is a very weird way to plant seeds. Equally more weird that a giant die is constantly rolling over my lawn. Otherwise a pretty boring game to play since all you are doing is waiting. Waiting for the die to roll in, waiting for the bar to fill in, waiting for the die with red plants, etc.

Developer

Thank you for playing our game! Yeah I think we are definitely missing more stuff for the player to do, especially since we set the speed too low.

Yay, I won! Interesting idea but the game lacks of interactivity and juice

Developer

Thank you for taking the time to play it through! Yes, we definitely need more ability for the player to affect outcomes and for the game to be faster and higher stakes.
