Wow! What a fun idea! I really enjoyed playing this, great job!!

thanks so much for playing!!

I really like the idea of the game, it's a fun to just walk around planing and picking plants. My main feedback is the tolerance of watering and picking up plants is a bit tight. So it makes it a little hard.

Developer

thanks for playing! yeah sorry about the strictness in the window of time to succesfully do specific actions, wasn't able to adjust it in time 😅. appreciate the feedback!

I absolutely loved this!! It was such a fun loop that I couldn't pull myself away from, I feel in part due to the funky music. With some more growth I could see myself playing this game on my break at work to relax 

Developer

thanks so much for playing, glad you liked it!

There seems to be many games about farming this year, and i really like yours as an idea. I would love to see more of it, this concept has potential

Developer

thanks for the kind words! i also really like the concept and have a few ideas in how to expand it, so hopefully i can continue working on it when i have the time for it😅

Was fun to vibe with for a few moments :)


I was hoping for something to do with the money, but I couldn't find anything that triggered. Just a high score :)

Developer

thanks for playing! i did implement a shop but unfortunately couldn't get things connected in time for submission so had to scrap that 😅. thanks for the feedback!

Really nice game, just looping around, clicking right keys. Remind me a little about guitar hero, and looking whats next is going :D
Definitely interested, if you want to make a roguelike

Developer

thanks for playing! that was the type of feel i was initially going for, so glad that shined through! im definitely interested in at least exploring this idea more in the future as a roguelike (when i find the time to xd), so i'm glad there's someone that resonates that sentiment as well, means a lot!

Congrats on the submission! Interesting take on farming sims. Potatoes are a bit of a pain, you have to wait several turns to completely harvest them, and micro-managing both planting new stuff and harvesting potatoes is basically impossible since everything happens so fast :D I figured it’s easier to just till the soil in one turn, then plant & water in the next 1-2 turns, then just harvest everything until the surface is empty again. This also works because there’s no penalty for just doing nothing for several turns.

Btw would love if you played our game as well!

thanks for playing! yeah i had to dismantle a lot of the original game last minute, so there would have been a progression between the seeds you get and the way you interface with them. it ended up just being a simple idle(?) / clicker(?)-like toy in the end. appreciate the feedback!
