the visuals are so beautiful! i didn't know about crocotile before and i definitely want to try it now. the crops and characters are quite charming.

the premise is creative, and the game is really fleshed out. i've had a lot of fun playing.

i think i've only ever encountered a single bug - at some point, the camera was positioned really low, at ground level almost, but the camera fixed itself after i went to sleep.

Hey, thank you so much!
Crocotile is a really great program for low-poly pixel art style.
It takes a bit of time to get used to, but it’s definitely worth it!

The developer, alex, is super nice. He actually implemented two features I requested!
He even played my game, by the way. Super chill guy! He also has a YouTube channel with tutorials.

As for the camera thing, that’s actually on purpose!
Every once in a while, a special moon appears. In this case, it was the super moon, which makes you really small. It’s just a little funny thing I added. There’s also a sugar moon, which makes you super fast, and a few others.

Thanks again for the lovely feedback!

I love the N64 vibes. Sadly, my plants despawned and I didn't have time to play further. I really like the level design and the modeling too. Not sure what the despawn thing is and maybe it's a glitch but I'm still very impressed with the amount of work you got done. Great work on this submission!

Hey Ryan!

Thank you for checking out my game and for the lovely feedback!

In an older version of the game, plants would despawn if you pressed E while sleeping. That was actually a debug function I forgot to remove. But I’ve fixed that in the latest versions. Did you download the game recently (in the last 7 days), or could you be playing an older version?

Plants also despawn if you don’t water them for two days. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time to make that clear to the player. I had planned to add a dry-soil model with a withered version of the plant instead of just making it disappear.

Fully grown plants can only be used a limited number of times: Sickle Leaf 3 uses, Fire Lily 2, Bombkin 1. After that they disappear from your inventory (which also isn’t very well communicated to the player. Syll does mention it when you "attack" her with the Sickle Leaf, but not everyone ends up doing that, of course).

If you don’t mind, you can send me your save file on discord (I left you a message there).

You’ll find it here:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\FarmJam\savegame.json

Then I can check if anything weird is going on and restore the missing plants!

Thanks again, and kind regards,

Oakhardt

Great job on the visuals! The farming mechanics are well implemented. :) I wish there was some music, ambient nature sounds are chill too tho.

Developer

Thank you so much! <3
Yeah, I wish I’d had more time to add sound effects and music to the different areas,  but if you make it to the end, there’s a little track waiting for you. 🎵

I'm really enjoying the game and I'm really impressed with how much you've made! I've made it to the purple dryad though and I'm a bit stuck. I love the whimsical atmosphere and I love how the mystery from the dryads plays into the main gameloop!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

You can gift the purple dryad lavender as well. Just plant the seed and let it grow.

Once it’s ready, harvest it and combine it with one of the crops you’ve gathered earlier. Simply place it on the ground, then activate it with the other (left click) and see what happens.
