Awesome vibe, also the gameplay. I really like the concept, it's very suit to the theme. Now, it's ur turn to try & rate us. Thank u ^_^

Developer

I'll give it a shot and rate it right now! Thank you too!

This is a really cool take on the theme, the gameplay was fun and getting struck by lightning was entertaining. Nice job!

Developer

Thank you so much!

I enjoyed the vibe of the game and I think you stuck to the theme well. I was a bit confused, even with the info in game things were not clear and I think the game suffered from that, but hey my game has the exact same issue haha. Great job on the loop though, quite fun!

Developer

Thank you for your kind words! I checked your game out too, its amazing!

Fun game. Fits the theme and I really like how each crop has different growing speed.

Developer

Thank you!

Cool  game, I liked all the effects and the gameplay loop is quite nice, although my crops didn't seem to grow past what I'm assuming is the 2nd stage? Collecting them didn't do anything, and I did wait for a few minutes, if it takes longer than that I think it should be a shorter wait. Also, the bar at the bottom of the screen is interactable, just to let you know. Congrats on the submission!

Hello!

Due to time constraints and poor planning, I had to cut many essential parts of this game. The crops only have 2 stages. Freshly sown and grown up.  Since I couldn't add proper UI and tooltips, I tried to give instructions on the game's description, which is not a good idea. I will try to fix them after the jam!

 Thank you for playing it throughly and giving a long feedback. I appreciate it!

Developer

Thank you!

Great take on the theme. Enjoyed the mix of a usually chill farming game with the stress of the lightning and constanly rising water.

Some things were a little unclear, like not being able to see if I was holding any crops after harvesting them, but I assume that was mostly due to limited time.

Developer (1 edit)

Exactly, creating the base game took more than I expected, so I had to cut some parts. I will hopefully patch them after the jam.  

Thanks for the feedback!

right on the theme and fun play on words. it was a bit unclear as what is the objective. but really cool! good job!:)

Developer

Hey! I'll hopefully add some tooltips and a proper UI with an after-jam patch. Thank you for playing!

a comfy farm game in the rain, i got hit by lightning!

fun to grow crops, some of them have different speeds for growing

why do i need to water crops if it's raining...hmmmm

Developer (1 edit)

Hey!

Shhh, it's enchanted water! :D I was planning to add story in the game but couldn't even find time for a simple UI haha.

Thanks for playing!

Good work!  I didn't encounter any problems with the restart that was mentioned.  I will say I'm not sure what to do after the bar is filled with offerings though

Developer(+1)

Hey! 

The restart problem is basically a bug that locks you out of the game over scenarios. That's why nothing happens when the bar fills (or you get struck with lightning). Sorry!

Thank you so much for playing!

Nice game! I liked the various assets and the planting system! I encountered some bugs but it was fine!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

Great game! The art/assets look great, I really like the setting of having to offer crops to the demon god statue. Was a bit confused for a sec when I noticed the pumpkin and Watermelon sprites were swapped and than the fact that I couldn't die (I have become the Immortal God of farming!) Was really fun and cute. 10/10 WELL DONE

Developer(+1)

Ahah :D Sorry about the god mode bug and the switched seeds. I tried to rush things at the last hour, and those bugs are the products of that hurry :/

I'm currently working on the bugs though, and will hopefully patch the game after the jam. Thank you so much for your kind words!

Okay a few things.The game itself plays pretty well. It generated enough interest to keep playing. However a bar for each resource would be good, I didnt see the need to plant and harvest anything other than wheat.  I filled up the statue but it didnt do anything.I managed to wander off the right side of the map and got stuck underneath it as there was no collision on the bottom right fencepost Unsure what to do after all resources had been gathered?

Cool little game 10/10 would sacrifice my gardens soul to the MOAI head god again.

Hello!

Every crop has a grow timer, and late growers have more value. The list goes like: potato, grain, watermelon and lastly pumpkin. 
The game unfortunately has a major bug, causing lightning bolts to not kill the player and game over screens to not work . I managed to cause this bug at the last second, while I was trying to implement a secret "god mode", that's what the missing collision is for, you can get to places that you normally shouldn't be able to (basically the left-most part of the farm). It was supposed to be the easy mode for some players, but it kinda ruined the whole experience with that bug, sorry about that...

Thank you so much for playing and your detailed feedback. You rock!

awesome farming game! I didn't see the statue until it was too late, perhaps add in the description of the game its position

Developer

I updated the description. Thank you for your feedback!

Submitted(+1)

I like farming games so I like the spin on it :) Tense and cozy at the same time.  I wish I had some instructions to know what to do at the start. Great job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I will hopefully add the instructions and UI once the jam is over. :)

Submitted(+1)

Really enjoyed it, The atmosphere and everything came together to create a really tense feeling. Would love to have an in game indicator on what to do, either through highlighting certain items or through some text, Overall really good experience

Developer

Hey! You're right, the game really does lack tooltips or indicators. I couldn't complete the UI so I had to scrap them. Hopefully I will take a look at them after the jam. Thank you for the feedback!

cute farm game! cozy and not at the same time

Developer

Thank you!

Fun little game. Farming in a storm sim. I could use my mouse to click on the bottom bar and make it full, I don't know if that's meant to happen.

Developer

Oh my god! I never even noticed that! Thank you for playing and for the bug report!

Submitted(+1)

I loved the feel of this game, frantically running out from cover to do some farming before being hit by lightning and the rising water level gave a great feeling. I couldn't seem to get the game to end, I had filled the bar at the bottom and was also submerged under water but other than being struck by lightning was stuck on what to do. But other than that one bug a great little game, well done!

Developer

Thank you! I have unfortunately caused a really core issue while trying to implement an easter egg at the last second, which sometimes causes two game over scenarios (beating the game or getting a game over) to not work. 

Thank you for finishing the game even though you had issues. You rock!

It's definitely a great farming game with real storming vibe. Liked it. But adding more instructions will help me out. Congratulations!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!
