Cool game. Good way of adhering to the limitation. Great job overall!

Thanks, it was a challenge to figure out how to incorporate the themes.

Really fun concept & great pixel art! I like how sneaky/creepy the gnomes are and they are so quick!! LOL

I agree with others where time wise it moved a bit fast and was kind of hard to move back and forth to swap tools, but fun game overall!

Developer

Thank you glad you enjoyed it! Maybe we'll provide a patch after the review period is over

I feel like with the 2 items limitation the flashlight should be a free hand item, and allowing the player to carry 2 of the gardening items. Well made though!

Developer

Thank you! We discussed that but also we wanted to make the game difficult and not be a quiet simple farm simulator. =)

I really like this pixel art style! Oh I harvest 5-6 red pumpkin but the Score is still 0. Maybe they still not totally ripen. Anyway, I really like the story idea about an evil gnome stealing pumpkins! Haha. Such a fun and creative concept!

Developer(+1)

I think you used the scythe to kill the pumpkins. You can only harvest a ripe pumpkin by using the shears. Glad you enjoyed it nonetheless!

A very clever idea!
I am not sure if I get it totally, But I love the limitation implementation with the torch, nice work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! 
Do you think we should include more details in the "instructions" section on the main page?

It's pretty good, but the timer runs out way too quickly. I have no time to harvest all the pumpkins and plant new ones because it runs out first. Please either extend the timer or have a toolbar like someone else suggested.

Developer

I agree that its too short, we were trying to balance the game so that you would have something to do the entire time. Even if we set the timer to 2 min the last 30 sec were sometimes kind of boring with no gnomes

Good sounds,  lovely art, defenitly fits the theme and limitations. Maybe a toolbar will be nice. Great job :)

Developer

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
What do you mean by toolbar? Like being able to select any item at all times?
We wanted to make it more challenging by interpreting the optional rule of "your always carrying two things" by making it ONLY two things.

A spooky atmosphere with lots of charm! I like the sound effects and pixel art especially the pumpkin animation when scything them :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Animation is hard and I rarely do it so I'm glad someone spotted that

I absolutely love the sounds the gnomes make. Hearing them before seeing them is amazing. It’s a good thing the flashlight has infinite energy!

Developer

They are creepy and silly at the same time 👍

The gnomes are EVIL and I hear them making little SCISSOR NOISES and I find it DEEPLY concerning. 

Developer(+2)

They are devious and can't be trusted
