I was a little confused at the start by running out of seed quickly, until I realized you could pick the seeds again during winter.

A nice change of pace from the other games.

I found this somewhat relaxing, fun little game loop. It took me a minute to figure the game out, I didn't notice the boxes and kept trying to plant on the other squares. Finished  in year 12.

It’s an interesting concept - I was initially confused about how to get new seeds. It feels sort of like an auto-battler, in that you have have intermittent strategic choices but spend a lot of time watching how your choices play out

Pretty fun. It took a while for the spring parts to be available.



I think it would be cool if instead of waiting till the end of the year to get new seeds, you get them immediately, then decide either to consume them to survive or exchange them for parts. But I guess the waiting and skipping time part was necessary to fit the limitation. The game is funnn though really enjoyed planting tomatoes all day, and the presentation is nice. Well done.

This is pretty cool, I could definitely see this being developed into a complete game.

Wow, this is a very good project that can be developed. I liked the menu and the soundtrack in the background. If you try to finish the game (rework textures, improve menus, add new features), it can become a full game.

How do I get seeds back?

I planted all my seeds in the beginning and they grew but I then had no seeds anymore.

Hey Dave, at the start of the new year you get to choose 3 more seed types from a randomized selection. You can fast forward through the seasons by pressing the middle left button to speed things up. Thanks for playing :P
