Great game, definitely had me stressing. I would recommend bars for spoilage and marmots, to more clearly indicate the time remaining in addition to the existing mechanics. But still loved it :)
so cute ! what a Lovely game ! everything is so polished ! i think a countdown timer/bar to let you know the marmots' patience would certainly go a long way !
Thank you so much for your comments! I don't know if you noticed that the color of the speech bubble border changes from blue to red depending on how much patience the marmot has left. Is that similar to what you mean with countdown timer/bar?
Sadly I couldn't pick up/interact with my (old) XBox controller, so had to use the keyboard 😢 Very nice and professional looking game!
For me the controls were a bit too "slippery" and imprecise for such a high paced game. I also think the "tap and hold" controls maybe isn't the best fit. Spontaneously I think tapping multiple times could work better. I'm still very impressed with the execution! 🌟
Thank for your comments and feedback! I will review why the controller did not work, where you playing with a Xbox Series controller or with an older version?
Older, like 2005. Let me know if I can help further!
I really enjoyed the contrast in between the calm environment and the fast-paced and chaotic gameplay! The pixel art looks adorable and although not the type of game I am used to playing it was a fun and entertaining experience.
If I were to make any suggestions, I'd go with what JustAsConfused mentioned, at some points the tools can be a bit similar and the lack of labeling can make it a bit tricky. I believe that could have been intentional gamedesign to contribuite to the stress-inducing gameplay, but sometimes it can make the game feel slightly unfair not knowing what I am doing wrong
But honestly that composes a small portion of the gameplay and the game in general is extremely fun and well polished, great job!
Thank you very Fantoche for your comments and feedback!
Fun concept and very cute pixel art! Cozy but it can definitely become chaotic and punishing quickly, but I think that fits the theme well. Being nit picky it would be helpful if the tools had labels or were more visually distinct as some do look quite similar, but that is also part of the challenge. Well done and fun little game!
Thank you very much for your comments and feedback and I will definitly improve the tools to avoid the confusion. Thanks again for playing!
The game is fun and looks really well-made. The tutorial is very helpful in understanding the planting logic.
The game loop works well; it's challenging but fun at the same time. Perhaps there's something I haven't noticed, but it would be great to have some kind of timer, so I know how much time is left and whether or not I can risk planting more crops.
Congratulations on the game!
Thank you, CCadori, for your feedback! I must say that your gameplay, your art, and even the design of your itch pages are amazing!
Cute and cozy. Simple but fun farming mechanics. I love the pixel art, feels really polished. My only gripe is the controls. Given the game's quick pace I would change the interact button to any of the mouse buttons or even space bar so you don't have to juggle between WASD and E. This is fine if the main mechanic doesn't revolve around pressing E. Overall a solid entry, one of my favorites.
Thank you very much for the feedback. I aggre with your comment about the keyboard controls., that is why I feel playing with controller offers a smoother experience. Thanks againg for trying the game.
Beautiful pixel art and cute sounds! The gameplay with time pressure is good too. The dash is very appreciated.
The rock and the rotten mechanics feel very punishing to me. They occur when I’m late, but dealing with them make me even more late. It feels impossible to recover, but maybe because I am noob :p
Great game overall!
Thank you so much for your feedback! I definitely need to work on balancing the rock and rot mechanics.
Cute concept and great art!
Thank you very much!
Really cute game with superb pixel art and farming mechanics! Very creative and unique!
Thank you very much!
