The models are cute, I like the vibe! I didn't quite understand what to do with the crops after I harvested them. I brought them to the statue and that seemed to refill the bar at the bottom but I also discovered I can manipulate the bar with my mouse myself. Other than that good work!

How does your game fit the theme?
You have to tend to a magical farm in between the storms.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I made all the code from scratch, but not the assets.

Nice concept, and the lightnings were cool! It was weird to me that I needed to water the crops during the rainstorm. I also wasn't clear on when the crops were done, they didn't seem to be ready yet, but they stuck in the same stage for ages.
Nice lightning effect! I don't understand why I have to put water in the terrain since it is raining...ahahah but cool idea for the game!
Really nice lightning effects! I love the adorable character you get to run around with!
I noticed the lightning didn’t always kill me when it hit—was that intentional? Also, is the time between lightning strikes random? After a while, it felt like the strikes were happening at the same intervals, so I could predict when they were coming.
I really enjoyed the farming part! It was kind of funny to see my crops get flooded, but I still had to water them.
Nice game, got a cute style. I didn't really need to hide in the tent but enjoyed running around and tending to the crops. It didn't feel tedious either, i felt like i was always doing something.
Cute game! Took a while to get used to the gameplay but once you get in the swing of things you enter a bit of a flow state dashing in and out of the tent tending to your crops. One small thing, it looks like the progress bar actually accepts mouse input right now so I was accidentally able to drag the progress bar left and right while playing. Good work!
I liked the art style, it was very uniform and the map was cool to move around. It took a little bit to understand what order to use the tools and how to give items to the statue but I liked the gameplay overall.
Good game, Simple graphics but nicely executed. Filled the meter but didnt know what i should do after that will figure out in some time. But I still did escape the storm MY WAY(see the picture attatched) ;D

The music and audio is very well in line with the game just feels immersive.. Nice work!!
Also one bug (I think its a bug) is when I have no tools equipped I can get struck by lightning and not die. Let me know if its something already observed or I can replicate it again and share it here
Kudos for making a fun game!! :D
Ahah! That's a pretty valid way to escape :D
Thank you, and yes, I'm currently working on an after-jam patch and hopefully I'll be able to fix the problems you talked about before starting a new project. If I find time to do so, I could even add some extra content, but not doing any promises about that :D
(little note, somebody found out that you can interact with the harvest meter with your mouse. You can fill it easily and pray to the statue to see a little animation! :D)
Thank you again for your detailed review. People like you make this whole game-jam experience a lot better. You rock!
loving the game, cute graphics. nice sound design great work!
