ROBLOX?!?!?!??!?
Mh. While I get the concept of putting a call to action in a video game… the same call to action also makes me not want to play the game. It could be nice to at least have some feedback (e.g. “an est. 20% of plants will not grow this year”), or be able to remove plants that haven’t grown. I also found the game loop rather uninteresting; I just ended up growing as many of the highest-value plant every time. The visual language of the game, too, was hard to read — everything blended together — and the music got repetitive quick. The concept is good, but needs a bit more fleshing out to be enjoyable.

Interesting game but I found it quite hard on the eyes (the font spacing is too small and everything is too upscaled). The gameplay loop was also kind of just a farming game but very dumbed down? Wish it had some twist to it.
Seems like a nice simulator game, but I really can't understand how you're meant to play. There seems to be some scaling problem which cuts off some the screen as there is no way for me to see how much money I have. I planted seeds, then harvested and sold them but it seemed like I didn't make money. Sleeping should also definitely need a confirmation.

I was not expecting a climate message! There was some unfortunate formatting issues with the visuals, but they were otherwise serviceable. The gameplay was a bit repetitive but I feel that's a bit of the point. I appreciated the adaptive music. A bit lop-sided on the whole, but the message wrapped the experience up for me.
stardew valley if it was good
it is good
The game fits the theme very well, but the visuals and UI felt both tiring on the eyes and not very effective. Especially in the shop, I often struggled to understand exactly what I was selecting or how to buy items. In addition, the background and overall scene felt a bit overwhelming and cluttered perhaps a wider or clearer play area would have worked better.
I had a really hard time making out UI elements and being able to see where the shop was and how to sell. It was a fun little simulator though, probably should have a confirmation before you sleep because I accidentally slept before planting all my plants LOL
This game is a neat simulator where you plant and sell to ensure you make enough money, but it was difficult to see some of the buttons like selling. It took me a while to figure out where it was because everything blended into each other. I think this is a really awesome concept, great work!
Wont lie I wasnt expecting an ending.... I was just happy planting and building money. Very cozy game. I would play this on my phone or switch just to pass time for a few mins. I hope you build upon this game. It is a really cool concept.
Pretty neat lil game :). I like the art. It's simple but quaint, though I do think it lasts a bit too long. Nice job!
Cool to have a call to action message in a game jam game! The gameplay got a bit stale after a bit but I like the variety of plants and the idea of the game itself is super cool!
wow, I realy didn't expect such an ending.
