rats on a stick! there are so many different crops! I had some difficulty figuring out the controls because I didnt want to look away from the screen. I also had trouble navigating the book because i was playing on trackpad and the scrolling went super fast. Overall really well done!

Amazingly in-depth game for a 72 hour jam, how did you get all this done!?  Really fun. Played for about half an hour and didn't even get to all the possible crops.

We heavily focused on dividing our work, I spent the time coding in making the game work and handled code to bulk import items, then our artist was able to just make any ideas and we could import them all at once.

I had so much fun playing your game! I just wanted to let you know that it crashed when I reached the $1,000 payment. I'm not sure if I accidentally pressed a button or if it crashed for real. It took me to the Picotron desktop.

I think it was a bug with the mixing station, if you marked to mix then sold something it would be an invalid slot and just crash, I posted a bugfixed build which fixed that (not to be rated for jam just for those who want to play game seperately)

This is actually kinda wild how this was made in only 3 days. Love me some farming games like Harvest Moon.

Surprised me too, had a good workflow with spreadsheets for crop data and some good asset reuse.

I think the game could definitely benefit from a tutorial level, I found myself stumbling around quite a bit, but the game is pretty cool! I love the art, massive Stardew Valley vibes, very chunky. The controls are nice, and the use of theme is a bit iffy but it's definitely creative enough. Really solid entry! 

If you have the time, I'd love to hear your feedback on my entry!
