How does the game fit the theme?
It's a cute and cozy farming game, but with a dark undertone. If you farm in the wrong spot, you die of plague. And if you don't earn enough money, you die of debt.

Love the game, but I kind of broke it. Got a score of 3219 on season 13, had to call it there, the pigs with the pumpkins is broken. Here is a livestream of me playing it. it starts at 2:04:36  but i recommend you watch at 2:53:49. Great game really loved it! :D

The art is so cool! And the system is implemented well. I felt a bit lost with the "rotate" mechanics but the concept of the whole  game is powerfull. Good work!

Excellent reinterpretation of Minesweeper!

Very clever!

And very well executed too!

The idea of ​​being able to buy “protections” and bet on our deductions with seeds is impeccable!

Also, a very nice loading screen :)

I really enjoyed trying to figure out the puzzle of it all! It might’ve been because I played in full screen, but sometimes when I tried to change the seed type, it would also click the field behind the button.

I wasn’t very good at this game, but to be fair, I’m not great at Minesweeper either, so that’s more on me than the game!

BTW, I noticed your post where you said you plan to stream some games, do you know when that will be? I would love to see someone other than me playing my game live.

I will be streaming the games on Saturday starting at 11am CET. I will also play games on Sunday at the same time if I don't finish them all Saturday. :)

I’ll try to drop by your stream!

"Oh, it's minesweeper"This is very interesting and creative! I wasn't able to beat it. I assume I'm supposed to rotate crops, but that froze my game on the web build.

Two things that felt like they were missing was A. an indication of how many points (pence?) I would get if I clicked harvest at a given time, and B. A zoom in/out on the camera. The latter is something I've done before. It can be kinda tough to get right, lol. 

Aside from the quality, this matches most of the categories pretty well. I know this was probably just a hasty insert, but I find it really funny that failing to pay the landlord and finding a plague victim have the same sound effect.

Pretty cool concept. I wish there was some hint or puzzle to determine the bad spots (you know, like in minesweeper), even though the risk feels kinda gambings its still a good hook.

I noticed that clicking on the UI also triggered planting behind the UI, maybe something to block in an update.

It took me quite a few tries to get how to play at all, but I really feel like this concept has potential. Its a great take on minesweeper (Which I'm a fan of), so I feel this concept could become something cool. Some kind of Minesweeper/RTS mixture vibes

I got to play it earlier, so hopefully they can roll back in time for the deadline.

Thank you SO much for bringing that to my attention! It was caught in an infinite loop on load. It should be fixed now!
