How does the game fit the theme?
The game is a unique take on a farming sim where you create crop mutations that are increasingly weirder, and eventually transport you to a new, strange world.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Played through your game on stream. Ive got the vod below timestamped to your game if you wanted to watch me go through it.
Overall everything works really well. The mastery to not need to keep going a minigame is great and theres a bunch of really good polish everywhere. Was fun to go through but all the plants were pretty much the same thing since they all shared the same minigames. Was a bit hard to tell the level 2 and level 3 crops apart in spots like the seed picking section for when I wanted to try to merge things together to find level 4s. Strategy was mostly just spamming random combinations and hoping it worked (which maybe made it a bit tedious near the end) but was short enough where it didn't get annoying.
I'll take more time to play it again, I was not sure about the mini games but it seems you can skip them further down the line so I'll give it another try :) but cool art and cool concept :)
Thank you! The mini games have a mastery component, so the first time you do them perfectly you master the skill and don't have to repeat it again :)
Very cute, satisfying and relaxing. I like that you don't have to do mini game every time because it would get very annoying. Good job! :)
Thank you for playing! :)
I first thought about Caroto from fruitless Nabuy Qest :c
Farm games are my favorite! The art in this game is amazing! the idea of the shop is genius and so cute!!! Good job :D
Thank you!
The gameplay loop of planting -> playing mini-game -> harvesting -> selling -> reinvesting is so satisfying. And the fact that mastering a crop lets you skip its mini-game later is such a smart design choice. Really encourages you to want to tackle it early.
I kept getting excited to see what mutation would pop out next. The crop log is awesome too, cleaned, detailed, and it makes everything feel deeper. UI and HUD are super polished across the board.
The art is beautiful, and the SFX is ear candy. Clicking, watering, harvesting all feel good. The music shifts between worlds and the palette swaps on the HUD make the transitions feel more impactful as well.
This feels like something I'd absolutely have on my phone and play in short bursts throughout the day. It's dangerously addictive. This deserves more eyes on it.
What a sweet comment :) Thank you for playing and for the nice words!
Dude this game is so fantastic! I could genuinely see myself buying this on steam lmao. Super addictive, super innovative, completely blew my mind, WOW! I think you guys aced the art and the music on this, they both felt like they were working together to create a very chill and calm vibe, I loved it so much lol. Great work guys, good luck with the jam!
This is the sweetest comment ever! Thank you so much. I'm super glad you've enjoyed our game!
This is such a cool game! Maybe because the farm is always great. I liked the mechanics.
Awesome, thank you for playing!
Wow, every aspect of this game was great!
Thank you so much!
really enjoyed playing this! amazing art, music and gameplay, the assets and crop types are very unique! very well made game!
Yay! Thank you so much!
Very cute!
:)
Super cute game! Loved the art. I enjoyed the little minigames and appreciated the mastering mechanic.
Thank you so much <3
This is such a lovely entry!! Everything is so polished, the gameplay is fun, the music is cute. The artwork is especially well-done, I adore the color choices. You all really know what you're doing! Great job :^D
Thank you Milo. That's such a sweet comment :)
Really well done game. I appreciated not having a crop failure when botching the harvest minigame because my family won't starve come winter time. 9/11
Thank you!
I loved this! Really comfy and polished! Awesome experience
Thank you! :)
Good idea. I loved the music and the visuals and the posibility to master the abilyties
Thank you! We wish we had time to innovate a bit more on the mini-games and add some more variety, but the mastery was a work around.
This is about as polished as a game jam game could possibly be. I played this for quite a while and still didnt hit the end. You did some amazing work on this, guys! Easy perfect score.
Wow. Big compliment considering I keep focusing on the things that are missing and not polished (+ some visual bugs), so it's so nice that you find it polished. Thanks!
Adorable art style! 🤩
Well executed, I would have liked some hints to discover more strange crops!
Thank you! I actually wrote clues for all the different mutations! It ended up not being implemented (they were going to be random hints given to you by the shopkeeper) but maybe I should share the text file.
Lovely cozy game, beautiful art, music and sounds that fit the cute farming vibe perfectly, all put together in a polished package. Well scoped, well made! Fun minigames but could've overstayed it's welcome if not for the clever mastery mechanic. Also, very clear and effective tutorial and feedback when making mistakes, letting me explore but not letting me get lost <3 Simple and sweet!
What a sweet comment! I'm super happy you enjoyed it :)
Gorgeously stylised art was amazing, the logo and the web page too! Really enjoyed the little minigames, it would be fun to see this developed more!
Thank you so much for playing and for the nice comment :)
