Very creative game. Plant vegetables and then punch the fertilizers. Neat game and I though it had a lot of charm.

Prologue Sing, O Muse, of the kappa who came down from the river, water dish full upon his crown, seeking only honest labor in the fields of the harvest season. Little did he know the Fates had already begun to weave.

Parodos (Enter the Chorus) CHORUS OF VILLAGERS: Behold, Mr. Tulip, who in his hubris sought to hasten what the gods made slow! His elixir quickens the seed, yes, but what grows swiftly withers and withers swiftly. Woe to any who trust in shortcuts! Woe, woe!

The Agon The kappa sowed, and the crops rose with unnatural speed, swelling beyond all mortal proportion. And lo, among them grew cucumbers, the sacred fruit most beloved of his kind. Yet even as he rejoiced, the leaves began to brown. The kappa, clicking with desperate haste, struck at the very stars themselves to drive the cursed fertilizer from the roots. He punched the heavens. He punched them again. Was ever a creature so defiant of cosmic order?

Exodus CHORUS: And so he labored, saving what he could, grieving what he could not. For no hand, however swift, may undo the folly of another's ambition.

The kappa bowed deeply in sorrow, as is his custom, and the water spilled from his dish. Thus was his strength lost, and thus ends our tale.

Catharsis achieved. Five stars. I have wept into my cucumbers.

Cool premise and very cute art and animation! I was lowkey expecting the carrot to punch back but also I'm glad it didn't. Also this game is super difficult  to play on a trackpad

I didn't think I'd ever be punching virtual carrots at 9am but here we are.

Punching the crap out of vegetables to harvest them is such a funny concept I didn't know I needed. Great art and gameplay mechanics but I think the amount of clicks needed per vegetable may need to be lowered a little.

I liked the art and animation!

Punching vegetables is wild. I liked your concept, but I did find the number of punches per vegetable felt a bit tedious/punishing, so that part felt less cozy to me. I might just be salty cuz I got a C- though. Beth's a strict grader for reals. Otherwise, really enjoyed your art - the game looked very polished and felt fair to play. Nice work!

Very funny game! I wasn't expecting that someone could connect cozy game with punching vegetables into existence.
