- Interesting concept, infection spreading over crops. I can see how that would definitely fit the theme, I just feel like the issues I had with selecting to correct plants and places to harvest & plant seeds was more fine-tuned. I never knew exactly where I'd end up planting as there's no feedback to tell me.
- So I decided to stick with it, and it's actually an interesting idea. The lack of in-game tutorial hurts the experience though. It was confusing in the beginning, and I feel this will deter a lot of new players. Though, because I decided to push through and try to figure things out, I feel there could be something cool here if things were well explained, and expanded upon. Not bad!

Three biggest things: I wish I could pull infected strawberries to stop the spread
I wouldn't give players the healing tower icon until they buy one. I was very confused on what that button was for.
I really wish there was a better indicator of where I was going to plant. And outline of the target plant zone, so I don't accidentally pull up a planted plant.
I really like the farmer design and the sound effects! Looking forward to you next game!
This was a really fun and satisfyingly game loop! Enjoyed trying to work out the best strategies for where to plant my strawberries (got too greedy a few times and the infection spread!).
If you continue work it'd be great to get some more visual indicators for things like what action you've got selected, and where you can or can't do them.
Super well done for your first game jam!!
Very impressive first game. Great job getting it made and submitted. It took me 3 minutes before I figured out where and how to plant strawberries XD. Maybe a sign or indicator would make it more clear. I became a strawberry harvesting fool after that. I found myself planting them far apart to try and stem the infection. The towers were a good addition to add a little more strategy to the mix.
