Which theme(s) did your game incorporate, and how?
We used both themes. We play as a pig, and everything really has a cost. As a pig, we take on the management of a farm, and in the dystopia we live in, everything is taxed, even the air we breathe.
Did you use any pre-made assets? If so, what were they and where were they from?

this is a really nice 3d farming game with clever way of introducing the “everything has a cost” theme! i think the controls being mouse instead of WASD were unique but a little clunky (clicking on shop guy makes my pig move to a different place in order to open the store if ykwim) and if you have a post jam update you could also add some more sound effects to the planting mechanics! nice job overall :))
Visuals: Cohesive
Audio: Simple
Gameplay: Potentially amazing if worked on. Currently a bit of a drag to get around. But great idea, and I like how you are supposed to move just need things positioned a bit better for the start.
A few things like the shop not being clear that you sell instantly, or that you cant buy by clicking the icon. The back plot being the one that's available is also not a good idea. You shouldn't even be able to see the other plots until you "unlock them" ideally through the shop as an upgrade not by buying in the plot itself. It makes the visuals messy and even made me miss the back plot being open initially for 10 seconds roughly.
Check out my game if you haven't already.
First of all, thank you for your comment and critique! I can acknowledge that there is merit in everything you said, because it's truly the case. Actually, we've considered solutions to some of the things you mentioned, and it might indeed be better if they were set up that way. I don't think we'll continue the game after the jam, but maybe we can take a look at it later. Thanks again! By the way, I've already tried your game.
cute story and theme execution, love the lighting and the execution of the theme aswell, ALSO AWW THE PIGGIE IS SO ADORABLE
Thank you! If Piggie could get rid of the government, he would thank you too.
Nice game! Really enjoyed it.
Thank you!!
I bought the oxygen that I needed, but didn't have enough money to buy any more seeds, so I ended up dying anyway. If/when you do get a foot up, and are able to horde more money, the game as a whole gets easier. What a simple commentary on how difficult it is to live in a capitalist economy. You're only missing the crop dying randomly to simulate an unforeseen bill that wrecks your life. I think you'd like my submission to this jam. It's very much in the same vein. Anyways, great graphics, and excellent take on the theme! Good job!
Thanks for the comment, you explained our game beautifully. I've already tried your game, thanks for the advice. Well done!
This game was a lot of fun I love 3d games hope u continue this one after the jam suits the theme perfectly. Check out my game to leave me a rating
Very enjoyable game! My only complaint is that the palyer sometimes didin't move how I wanted to, and if feel like WASD controls would have been easier to control with.
I paid money for my oxygen tax and now I'm too broke to buy any seeds gg
Gameplay loop was very intuitive and the theme was implemented probably the best in terms of combining the pig and money theme. The 3D models and UI are also clean. Good work!
hahaha! If you don't calculate the number of seeds well early in the game, you can lose when you give your first oxygen tax, yes. Thanks for your comment!!
I love the little cute pig! The 3d models look great and the environment overall is really nice! I liked the gameplay and the way the themes were represented. I couldn't find any bugs, i was only bothered by the full screen on the web, since it's not really playing the game on fullscreen, but i did download the game and had no issues with it. I believe the game will be great if you keep working on it and add more stuff, to do in there, especially some side quests while waiting for the crops to grow!
But overall, great mechanics, great visuals! Amazing work!
Thank you for your nice comment. We don't know if we'll work more on the game, but we solved the full-screen problem for the web version. Maybe we'll revisit the game and take a look at it again at some point in the future. Thanks once more.
I liked this game! It was a very funny way of doing the theme! I had a bug where I couldn't buy the top left plot, but I was able to get 4 of them! cabbages are quite profitable.
Yes, there was a bug regarding the purchase of fields, but we fixed that too. Thanks for your comment! CABBAGE IS EVERYTHING!
This is a Souls type game. It's really hard at first, but once you get enough money fast enough it gets way easier. I like the game play a lot, and I love the message. Full screen unfortunately didn't work for me and after my first death the game completely broke and I had to refresh the page.
I had a lot of fun!
P.S. The oxygen running out made me into this meme-
Thanks for your comment, the meme you posted really did cross my mind too. lol
By the way, we were also aware of the full-screen problem; I fixed it today and it's working now.
Really fun idea but I suck at managing games, kept either forgetting oxygen tax or forgetting to have enough money to buy seeds after paying it haha.
hahaha! No problem because my girlfriend kept forgetting about the oxygen thing too, over and over again.s. Thanks for playing!
