The pixel art is adorable, you made it feel really cozy. I found myself digging little tunnels before I'd figured out how to grab the acorns on the surface, so a quick first-level hint might help. Absolutely lovely work for 2 days!

Lol, thanks for playing the game. Sorry that the game didn't start with some hint/tutorial. We actually removed the text hint to make the game less cluttered.

Very cozy game !

Cool concept, nice music and visuals, one small issue is the lack of juice (particles when breaking a dirt tile for exemple), but despite this awesome game :D

Developer

Thanks for playing the game! Glad you liked it!
I'm not sure about the observation about particles not playing. 
We have that digging particle effect added in the game. This must be one of those browser issues.
Just checked on Chrome 153.0, they seem to work.

Oh yeah my bad, I just tried it on Firefox and there is indeed particles, I played it on Brave the other day and had nothing...
Nevermind :D

We'll test on other browsers next time just to make sure. Thanks for seeing again and making that beautiful farming simulator.

The colors very nice. Just the art in general. The name of the game peak too. đź‘Źđź‘Źđź‘Ź
The sound elivates it so much tho. It's rather simple, but worked wonderfully

Developer

Thanks, I enjoyed your TD game a lot as well.

I love it! Very cute game and the BGM is very cozy :). Great job on creating a full on game with multiple levels! 
One small bit of feedback is that some of the SFX were a bit loud on my end.

Developer

Thanks for playing the game. Sorry to hear that SFX were a bit loud. We'll tone them down a bit nect time.
