Cozy, clean, efficient. A bit lost with controls and how craft woks sometimes (maybe it's lacking of tutorialization), but overall it's a really good propositon ! Congrats !

Feel free to test our game !

Awesome idea and great visuals, seems well done. Controls sometimes are a bit annoying but overall a fun game.

Sometimes difficult to handle, but once you get the hang of it, it's a lot of fun. I really like the visuals and the music :)

The controls and colliders are an obstacle for me to what is clearly a very well put together game with a lot of replayability. I would have also appreciated a volume slider for the music as the default was very loud for me.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll probably work on these quality of life aspects once the jam finishes

Really fun cozy game. I took me a while to get the controls and how to buy/sell harvest items but once I got it it was really enjoyable to play

Very cute game!! I found it a bit difficult to control the character on the bottom of the planet since the directions were reversed, but I love the idea of farming on strange planets!!

You can really tell that a lot of love went into the assets, they are stunningly beautiful and I loved the references to other games! Difficulty is way to high for a cozy farming game, sometimes it felt very unrewarding and frustrated because I keep getting fired. Controls are untuitive sometimes
and I find it strange how youre limited in the beginning to only 3 items. If you buy more farming seeds, you simply lose your money and get scammed. Overall great cute farming game with a lot of charm, I like it a ton and like to see it expand into a full game!

Thanks for playing! I definately need to work a lot on balancing the game difficulty and polish all those aspects you mentioned, I hadn't much time to test it properly lol

What's your apartment?

This game is addicting! The foundations of this game are great and I love the art.

The game was too difficult for me especially with success relying too much on the market prices which were very volatile in a couple of my playthroughs. The shop items were too expensive as well and I wasn't able to properly scale up and get ahead. It kind of turned into a capitalist hell but maybe that is part of the point? haha

The controls were a little tricky and I found the watering can to be finicky to get to work.

I could see myself playing this game for hours if it felt a bit more fair though. :)

Heyy, thanks for playing and all the feedback! So the thing is that one of my friends tested a pretty much final build of the game and it was actually so easy and broken, literally you could get all that shit in april lol. So I had to balance everything in a rush and it ended up really difficult (literally everyone is complaining about it). However I just saw that there's a rule that allows to upload new builds the 48 following hours so I guess I will add this one since its just a downgrade of the actual game. It will only be downladable but at least people would be able to see all the items I made if they want.

I can't believe the radish market crash cost me my job. Your art looks great, and it's very charming. I think the controls are a bit awkward because E and R are next to each other. I struggled a lot trying to keep up with the debt, but that might be a me problem. Great game jam game, good work!

The art is great and so is the idea. It just needs a tiny but more to tell the player what/how to do it. Felt like I was losing before I really got the hang of the controls. But you nailed the cozy space farming look.

The art style is so jollyyy

I loved the artwork! The sprites and animations were just perfect.

I appriciated the tutorial - it was very needed, I think it could help if you have the selling thing there too.

It was difficult to get used to the controls - I pressed r and e and it didn't always felt responsive, especially when trying to pull plants and water them

I was pretty bad at the game, and it's a shame since it looks like it's very involved, and I would love to visit more tiny planents
