Funnier than Farmville

Lovely idea! Also good use of pixel-graphics in Unity.

There are some minor graphical glitches on the shrubs. You can turn them off by setting the texture from "repeat" to "clamp", that way the first pixel-line won't get repeated

I wish this would be finished! Very nice

The pixel-art is really good! There didn't seem to be a lot to interact with. I managed to plant and harvest some corn, but that was about it.

wowww nice graphics. The animation was really nice, I liked the way the character walked.

Not many Ludum Dare games have great animation, sure, the graphics are sometimes good, but the animation isn't usually as good as this. :D

Not that there's a whole ton of animation in it, I just really like the walk cycle. :D

Shame it's doesn't have much in the way of playability. Maybe focus on the code before the art next time?

Thanks for the comments, everyone! Glad to know my first steps on pixel art are impressing you at least. :)

The problem of not having much to interact with is something I am well aware. It was not due to the art though (I was able to make it fairly quickly), but more due to some coding issues and the graphical glitches that arose from them, which I took too long to figure out and correct (and still ended up remaining nonetheless). I learned my lesson though: I'm prepared for pixel art on Unity next time. My ignorance on the subject and my lack of preparation backfired in that regard, but it was a great motivation to learn!

I really enjoyed your pixel art... :)

Nice pixel art

Wonderful pixel art that really feels alive. This has the beginnings of a nice little haiku of a game.

Concept is interesting. Keep it up.

So you can plant 5 corns and that's it? Nothing happens anymore? Or do I have to wait for the corn to run out? Now that is what I'm not going to do in a game. I want to play and not wait!

Nice pixel graphics. The animation for the player walk was good, as others have mentioned. Wish there was more too it though. Keep up the jammin!

Like others said, nice job on the animation, and it's too bad there isn't more gameplay! Also, the corn wasn't growing for me in the updated version.
