Loved how simple this game is, and how it effectively worked in the theme. The intro cutscene was super cute, it would be nice to see some story worked into this game but for what it is, it's still quite impressive :) The music was really cute and catchy too! - Kitsoupy
hi, thanks for playing!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the music! Thanks for playing :D
fantastic art style, very polished game! I like your style, very cute! You guys amazing! Very well project!
I . LOVE . YOUR. ART . Seriously saw your capsule picture and was like heck yes. Awesome work!
THANK YOU!!!!
Cute little game! Super adorable art style! Great job!
Loved the artstyle; very adorable. Was enjoying playing the game when I went to buy seeds I kinda got stuck and could not exit the shop. What is the key to do so?
hi, thanks for playing the game. to exit the seeds shop there's should be a button with the exit icon on the top-left corner of the screen, if you can't exit the shop/don't see any button, let us know!
Definitely a style of game I wouldn't have thought of for a jam. Congratulations on pulling this all off in such a short time. I loved the art, and the game works well mechanically. There’s some really nice audio feedback, like when watering the soil.
One minor bug: if you press Space to try and skip the cutscene, it restarts from the beginning. Anyway, congratulations on the work.
Thanks for playing the game! Glad you liked our idea!
Also, we have identified the cause of the bug and will fix it once the submission upload is re-enabled!
Such a cozy doodle style cat farmer! if I press the space at the start, the animation just keeps replaying. Is that a bug?
ah that is a bug, I'm guessing the start button keeps focus when animation is playing so when you press spacebar, it just presses the start button on the main menu page again, will fix soon!
I really enjoyed the vibes on this one. I reminded me a lot of stardew valley!
that was one of our inspirations! thank you for playing!
this a pretty neat game and I love the art
thank you!!!!
i could play this game all day tbh, i love farmer games a lot
if you made this into an actual game, with tasks, quests, other npcs, i would honestly play it
loved it so much!!!!
Thanks for playing! :D
Cute game! Nice visual style, I really liked the top down view of the hat at the farm, really goofy.
Interesting idea, having to pay attention so shopkeepers don't scam you. I really like the idea, but for sure more could be added to it so it could be more complex. Maybe also have some consequences for reporting shopkeepers, like sellers not wanting to do business with you or maybe not wanting to give you secret hints.
I think the visuals are my favorite aspect of the game. And also, the gameplay is cohesive, it has a full loop. But it could be filled with even more!
Thank you for playing! The visuals are my favourite part as well :3
Great to see some frame by frame animated cutscenes! Very cute style. I managed to deposit the 10,000 but I had a feeling I might get ripped off haha
Thanks for completing the game! could you also tell how long it took for you to complete the game, so that we can adjust the difficulty if needed.
If I had to guess I'd say about 30min...?
First off, I really like the art in the game, and having not just 1 but 2 cutscenes was really cool! The idea was quite creative, and it hit that fun incremental game feel. My main criticism though is that it feels like there's a lot of mechanics that don't add much to the game, like for example, I don't get why you made a whole inventory system with items you can drop and pickup when it's never relevant. I find it quite impressive how much you were able to make in the time, but I feel like it could've been more focused on one central idea. Still, it was quite fun and I think the main mechanic of reporting scammers was quite fun and satisfying and the game as a whole was really charming and fun, great job!
Thanks for the review! For most of us, it was our first game jam so we kinda planned a game way too big for the jam without thinking too much about it, the amount of features is a result of sleeping at 5 pretty much everyday along with multiple all nighters towards the end and some features feeling less integrated is also a result of not having enough time to make everything come together, I guess the main takeaway for all of us is to only plan around a central idea instead trying to make a full-fledged game with too many featuees 🥲.
Haha, yeah, that's usually the first jam experience! Still though that was great for a first game jam, I hope you guys keep at it :D
The opening was so cute! I love the art and music! I def got scammed too much. Very fun, very good. The ONLY improvement I'd suggest is: Please anchor your text. Text that appears character by character shouldn't shift the whole textbox to the left. it makes it very hard to read until its done typing.
Thanks for your review! I didn't see it from the perspective of a new player due to me already knowing dialogs, but that def sounds annoying. We'll definitely fix it in the morning!
Was scammed by three diferent animals, 10/10, would recommend!
haha nice to see you had a good experience, thanks for the review!
I really like the cat and the intro cutscene!
Happy you liked the cat and the intro cutscene! And Thanks for playing!
I had to stop playing to make sure I don't forget this: That intro cutscene was FANTASTIC, just make a whole series at this point.. jokes aside: curious thing: If I adjusted the volume of my headphones the character would move left; don't ask me why. So, the music and art is really charming and cozy, it could get a little polish but looks good as is now. I like the sellers being scammers, nice adding; I would suggest a system to negotiate buy and sell prices, would add a bit of choice for the player than just going for once shop or another. I didn't understand why the mother would ask for 500 money each time, and it would happen a lot without the player actually receiving anything. Should I not trust my mom ;_; ? Would have liked to be able to edit the settings from the game and not only from the main menu; I had to lower the pc's volume directly. For last but not least, I couldn't really get much more than I spent to get to that amount of money. Like I would start with 1100 and would get 850 in the end; Might be me not balancing good but it didn't feel satisfying. Overall good concept and I personally played it a lot.
Thanks for playing the game! Settings can be adjusted during the game, by pressing ESC, sorry we werent able to make that clear anywhere in the game 😔, it's only briefly mentioned on the game page so its understandable people missed it
The game is actually supposed to give you around a 50 percent profit for a perfect seedbag along with selling to an innocent shopkeeper, you might be selling regularly to scammers! you can pretty much get the feel for prices of sell shops by visiting a few, we bumped up the difficulty of the game a lot in the last balance patch as we messed up som parameters before and ended up having a super easy game, we might make minor tweaks to make it slightly easier!
I see! I called the police quite a lot of times too; this scammers... I tried with ESC but on the browser version it just escaped from full screen, not sure if doing it twice would have worked.
hmm, noted that this problem exists, I'll add a button for settings to all scenes so its easier.
This update has been made, now theres a dedicated settings button! I also adjusted the game's difficulty a bit :)
Cute setup with the cat farmer, and the whole checking produce / market prices thing is a fun twist for the theme. The little cutscene bits were a nice surprise too. I was a tiny bit unsure sometimes if a seller was actually scamming me, but the idea is super solid, nice job :)
Thanks for the review! (also a dev secret, scammers price carrots at around 1-2 coins)
My goodness. I was only going to play for a little, but I found myself wanting to keep clicking and playing more. I didn't know you could hold the mouse button down and swipe across the screen to water and harvest your crops more efficiently so that was helpful once I figured that out so it wasn't so tedious! The art is SO cute! I love how you turned a cozy game to match the theme as well <3 This was my goal with my game too! I denied helping my mom with her payment the first time, but then I did the second time and she just straight up wasted my money it seems xD
FANTASTIC work!!
Cute as hell farming game. Hard to profit in an untrustworthy climate, but the challenge is fun. :>
Thanks for the review! Making the game harder was a part of our balance patch, I'm glad you found it challenging!
