Hi!

I've never played anything quite like this before! Now THIS is taking the jam's limitations to a whole new level!

It took me a while to get the hang of the mechanics, and I agree that a tutorial would have made the experience even more enjoyable. But the graphics and music really won me over!


Best!

This was incredibly fun to play like seriously , goodjob to the entire team . Im pretty surprised so much could be done in such a short time span , it was a little difficult at first and if you were to make something like this again id suggest a tutorial ! i would honestly like to see more games this was like a fun , light game with a very unique use of the limitation as i've only seen something similar in one other game ive played for this jam ! It plays and looks very well and i really like the music (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it, we definitely were on a grind last weekend!

I REALLY got into this as soon as I figured out how to do everything properly. Really good job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you were able to figure it out. We had some menu changes at the very end of development and we didn't have enough time to include an interactive tutorial.

Game was quite fun to play, I had to figure out the right way to interact with things but then after that it was smooth sailing. I wish I was able to see the corn maze I grinded for but it was still a fun goal to work towards.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Because of the time constraint we had to cut a few of our ideas which would have included a tutorial and scenes/cutscenes for the intro and ending.

Overall, the game looks and plays pretty well! Farming sims are always a nice genre to explore =D

The music, gameplay, and artwork are all well done, and the game has a pleasant feel to it.

There's one thing I'd like to point out:

  • Visitors start arriving very quickly, which gives the impression that you're already supposed to be doing something with them, even though your initial goal is to plant your first crops. I'd suggest introducing these elements in separate stages so players have time to get comfortable with the basic mechanics before having to manage additional responsibilities.

Overall, I think it's a solid little game with room to grow. Keep up the good work! ❤️

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! We kinda did balance at the very end and we knew that the visitors were spawning a little too soon. We also would've done an incremental tutorial if we had more time.

Nice art and concept! I think the option to buy a cook or a vendor could improve the gameplay. :D

Developer

Thanks for the suggestion! We had some more things planned, but obviously the time constraint had us cutting a few things.
