So cozy and unique! I couldn't figure out how to harvest the vegetables - I tried to click the shovel and then click on the grown veggies, but it didn't seem to do anything. SOS! (I set the timer to the 5 minute version, then tried to harvest after the time ran into the negative.)

Blown AwayOh, I get the frustration, that's actually an animation bug. I messed up the formula for calculating the current frame, which causes the "fully grown" frame to appear one step before the plants actually finish growing.
As for the timer going into negative numbers, that's intentional! Since it's a Pomodoro timer, someone deep in focus might need a bit more than 25 minutes. To make sure that extra time doesn't eat into their break, it shows how much time has passed since the work session was supposed to end. Once you press the yellow button, the break begins and you can rest!
Thank you so much for the useful feedback!
Overall a pretty cozy game and idea of this being an actual tool, rather than a game is pretty great!
The music is chill and the graphics are amazing!

Root RouteThis is awesome! I was having a hard time getting focused for work (hence being on itch lol) and saw this pop up so thought I'd try it and it's really been helping me focus today so thank you! I like being able to do a little bit of interacting with it by setting up the seeds and then starting the timer and every once in a while noticing the plants grow while I work. The music is also nice and not distracting.

Restful BurrowNice art, but I feel like an option to speed up the timer would be great.

Lawn SquirrelThanks! It’s actually a Pomodoro timer where plants grow while you work. You can make them grow faster by shortening the focus period (click the timer to edit it); you can even set it down to 1 second if you want to speed things up! :D
Rootodoro even sounds cool! I really liked the art and the music. It genuinely feels like you’re sitting by your own garden, with a cup of tea and a book in your hands

Fluffy BunThe art is amazing! And this is a really cool spin on a pomodoro timer!

A Sip of AutumnI found idea of a game you play alongside your pomodoro session really interesting.
The UI look and feel and transitions are cool as hell.
Loved the art specially of the veggies!
