Played this at the showcase event last night, and it was awesome! Loved the frantic feeling of trying to plant and harvest while remembering to position your peppers correctly. Super fun, totally feels like you could expand it out!
I think expanding the number of plants to open up more strategic options would be welcome. I liked how the peppers (I think???) got an adjacency bonus which was cool, and it'd be interesting to have other plants care about where / when / how they're planted. Maybe a plant that likes to be planted in the shade of another plant. Or a plant that makes adjacent plants grow slower but has a big effect.
This is also a taste thing, but I wonder if the rate of growing and harvesting was almost a touch too fast? Like you definitely want a bit of that frantic feeling, but I wound up just mashing the plants to keep my plots filled. Maybe if it slowed down just a smidge, players could engage more with the "where do I place things" puzzle a bit more.
Excited to see more though! Felt really polished and fun as-is.
