Cool game. loved the art. The face in the moon caught me off guard XD.

Submitted

Great game! I really love your art style especially the autumn tree scene with the falling leaves hahaha. Keep Going!

Submitted

Nice game.
I really liked the animations and how the tools moved, looked good.
It is a little game but it is very fitting for this jam, keep it up.

Love the charm you gave to the characters, can't believe I got mogged at some point by the moon (moon-maxxed??).

Even though there wasn't all too much to do after a few days of harvesting, I think there could be potential down the line for adding progression or goals. Another note was that while not in fullscreen, the art seemed pixelated of sorts, but fullscreen did fix the issue.

Keep it up!

Developer

Its the first time im hearing about the pixelation, i think its something with the browser or the internet idk, will try to fix if possible ig? Thanks for playing! :)

Cute little game, this feels like it could be the foundation to something bigger

I'm guilty of not reading the instructions so I was a little confused at first. That's totally on me, but including them in your game somewhere is always a nice-to-have

The music loop was simple but effective. The instrumentation evokes feelings of Crash Bandicoot (high praise) and I'd love to hear more

I'm not sure who my favorite character was: it was a tie between the self-aware pumpkin and the squirrel with tools

Good game!

Im not actually that gud at making music, i used the technique of placing notes randomly until it sounds good :) . Thanks for playing

The scythe animation is really polished! The scarecrow also looks cute. The farming part could have more potential once you gets to add more things to it, I believe. And just randomly seeing someone pops into the farm and say things is pretty funny, though I still haven’t figure out how to interact with the sun? moon? despite it having a face and keep looking at me. I think the game is pretty cool!

Developer

U dont interact with the moon, its just something i added last minute for funsies. Thanks for playing!

I really enjoyed the music and the animations. Felt polished.

Developer

thanks

This game is really interesting! The idea of a scarecrow literally taking care of the crops is a very funny idea, and characters like the chicken and the moon they're really have his own style.

One suggestion I have would be to add a tutorial. That could also create opportunities to introduce more mechanics, like planting crops yourself. Another cool idea might be adding simple objectives or quests, such as "Harvest 8 crops within 10 days." I think little goals like that could help give players a bit more direction while keeping the cozy farming vibe.

Other than that, I think this game is heading in a great direction. It already has a lot of charm and plenty of potential to grow into something really special. Great work!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback and ideas!

Nice game, Really liked the dialogue and i thought the moon was quite funny. Would love to see what else you could add to the game. Great work

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Some of these dialogues (and the moon for that matter) caught me entirely off guard and I laughed out loud with the squirrel pun ("tough nut to crack"). I read your itch.io page about art though, and I have to say that I am impressed! The art doesn't feel off like it is for many games, but looks like it has all been made by the same person (and a good one at that!). It doesn't have much content, but meeting the different characters and being scared by the moon every now and then made this a fun experience either way. I would have loved to see this game further developed though! It would be awesome to see what else you could create with your art style, and to harvert different types of crops and meet other characters. Great game jam entry, and a funny solution to the limitation!

Developer

thank you... thank you :)

I love this little dude! Give him an acorn from me :D 
Its very nice how you have used the limitation, and the different moons and animals made the game extra fun! I enjoyed this nice little game, good job! <3

Developer(+1)

thanks :)

Intuitive controls, I like that you can play it with one hand. Nice art and theme, and I think adding a bit more task variation would help a lot. Great job!

Developer

Thanks, i would have added more tasks if i had the time.

Submitted

Loved the music and the way the moon's face changes everyday! The scythe/harvest anim felt really smooth and I enjoyed it!

Submitted

This game had some unique gameplay and nice art style!  All felt super smooth to play with and felt simple in a nice way. I was standing there for a while before I realized I could switch the day so some possible UI or reminder could be nice too,  I hadn't noticed a good reason to collect the wheat or a counter so it felt a little bit underwhelming to collect. Other then these, Great game!

Developer

There is a wheat counter on the sign on the left. I should have put a ui for switching days ig. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

I really liked the cute art style, and Moon's facial expressions were honestly hilarious haha. The game has a lot of charm, and the characters have so much personality! It's a really fun little prototype, and I'd love to see it developed further. Great job!

Developer

Thanks, will try!

Submitted

Lol, I agree with the chicken; the song is a banger! I liked all the little changes as the days went by, like the face on the moon XD. I kept going through the days just to see what would happen next. Driller Squirrel was probably my favorite though lol. The art looked great, and I really like the animations for harvesting and watering. The whole farming loop was pretty relaxing too, and I thought the controls for switching and performing actions felt pretty smooth. What you managed to get into the game turned out really well!

Developer(+1)

Me glazing myself using the chicken ;) Thanks for ur feedback!

Submitted

Pretty cool, the art is great, the gameplay could use a bit more variety

Developer

Agreed, Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Moon's face expressions are hilarious :)
Good prototype, cute art.

Developer
