I LOVE Link's Awakening and its remake for the Switch. This gave me the same feeling. Absolutely adore the visual style of the game. It's flawless! ✨
However, apart from the eerie interruptions about your performance, this just feels like a rip off of Stardew Valley. From the game play and the actual layout of the world. It might not be intentional, but that draws down the stars from me.
Hope you'll make something unique with your tallent! 🌟
Thanks for playing. It's actually a rip off of Harvest Moon: Back to Nature for the PS1. I really recommend it. But shout out Eric Barone, he's one of the greatest to ever do it.
On some real stuff though, it's a farming game so there's bound to be some similarities (prepare soil -> plant seed -> water -> harvest). I tried to innovate with some stuff but I don't want to be different just for the sake of being different. Given the relatively long development period, I saw this jam as an opportunity to innovate on the narrative side of things instead of just surface level gimmicks. However, I agree that I could've done a better job with the game's structure (and level design I guess).
Oh btw I just got my Switch, should I get Links Awakening or Echoes of Wisdom???
