Really, really adorable farming game. The graphics are so cute! The speed of gaining money could potentially be increased as planting turned into a bit of a repetitive task towards the end of the game, or maybe some other events could take place to spice things up a little and add more interaction or difficulty. Other than that, I have to say that I really enjoyed the relaxing experience, great work! :)

Nice and casual clicker game. Has good potential, as others have already said a β€œWin/Fail” condition for the main gameplay loop would be great. Perhaps a scoring system alongside the money or some more intricacies for the late game.

Interesting and fun game. A loose condition would have been interesting like a timer would give the player a great challenges. Overall nice game and it has a lot of potential.

Cute concept.  It's intuitive to control and relaxing to play, what more could you want?  Fantastic job!

This game has nice graphics and a chill vibe. I think it would be even better with a win/fail condition or a time limit to make the gameplay a little more exciting :) 

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it

Yeah we where talking about that. The original idea was to add more areas that could be unlocked. If you unlocked 3 or 4 of them you win. But that didn't really work well with the way we implemented ai.

Nice game but I found the enemy a bit too slow. Have a nice one!

Developer

Thank you all so much for the great feedback πŸ‘

Nice visuals and the gameplay is nice and relaxing! The game has so much more potential to be added on to, overall this is a great game!

Developer

Thank you for your kind words. I'm not sure about the future of the game. We where happy with where it is now and actually still have a few plans that didn't make it into the game. Maybe we decide to expand the game after the Rating period is over

Very nice relaxing game. As others mentioned, the rain drags my FPS, but that is the only downside I could find. Very enjoyable. 

Developer(+1)

Happy to hear you enjoyed playing 😊

Sadly there seams to be an issue with the rain for some people. We didn't encounter that before posting the game. Its one of those cases where we fixed an issue last minute creating another one πŸ˜…

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

Yeah I absolutely understand it. Honestly creating another issue by fixing a previous one feels like a curse of game dev :D

 Also it's interely possible that WebGL is not able to draw more comple frames even with hardware acceleration on older PCs and it could not be even an issue of the game itself. And thinking about it, it could be that I didn't have hardware acceleration on... completely forgot about it, even though you recommend it (will have to check that) :D in which case it would be simple user error :D

EDIT: Okay so I had hardware acceleration off, tried it with on and runs much smoother. The rain still causes a bit of lag but considerably less and almost not noticable. Soo mostly a user error.

Developer(+1)

Yeah. With the limited time especially. Sometimes it comes down to preying nothing breaks once its out there 😁

Ah I see. Thanks for retesting πŸ‘

Like it, the graphics is too good!

Developer(+1)

Thank you. We did use a asset pack as a base (as declared above). With that being said, a bunch of the assets in the game where made by our designer. I'll pass on the feedback 😊

Very cute and with high potential! The audio is nicely balanced and love the art<3

Developer(+1)

Aww thanks. We had a lot of fun making the game. Especially the audio was mostly treated as a meme. Very happy the product represents the fun we had making it 🫑

My one critique would be that it didn't seem to be beneficial to grow the higher cost plants all the much, but maybe I just missed something.  Overall I had fun playing it.  Good work!

Developer

Yeah you are right. Originally there was no animals trying to eat the higher tier crops. But that played out very boring, since there is no way of losing/spending money at that point. We basically never considered what 'late game' would look like πŸ˜…

Awesome game!
Felt bad for not being able to give more than 5 stars! 

Developer

Thank you. I'm so happy to see people enjoy the game 😊

Submitted(+1)

very cute visuals/audio and interesting idea :), but a bit too slow for me

Developer

Thank you for pointing that out.
I agree the balancing isn't perfect. But ultimately the decision was made to keep the game on the more easy side, to prevent very 'unfair' runs

Submitted(+1)

pretty fun! my only real complaint is that the rain lags the game a bit

Developer

Yes there seams to be an issue, that we didn't catch in time. Thanks for letting us know

Submitted(+1)

Pretty good! Gameplay and visuals are nice, but yes, the rain looks weird

Developer

Thank you for the feedback. Yeah that effect didn't quite work as well as we planed

Submitted(+1)

cool visual and mechanic but the rain is a little annoying. Maybe it could be better if rain was more transparent

Developer

Yeah the rain was meant to give more visual variety, but I see your point. Thanks for the feedback
