Random game-overs suck. The meteors fall *way* too fast to be able to dodge, and being inside the house doesn't help. This makes it a game of luck rather than skill.

The rocks fall a too fast to avoid. Graphics are a little simple, but overall good.
Good concept but the boulders are too hard to dodge. Too random to be a good game. Nice music!
Not bad, but you could add some sounds...
5 out of 5 and no win?
The house could be a safespot, while you're in there, you can't get hit, but the crops don't grow! :)
Its almost like a game of luck because the rocks are unavoidable D: but the idea is interesting :)
I like it, but it's hard! The meteors are coming very fast, and I'd really expect the house to protect me. It's not obvious that we have to press "down" - perhaps just add the new plot automatically?
Nice effort
Simple but functional. Would definitely benefit from in game instructions. Fits the theme very well. Great effort!
I agree with other commenters that it is near impossible to dodge the falling rocks... it's just luck if you are under it when it falls.
This needs a workover. Rocks are nearly impossible to dodge (maybe show a shadow on the ground before the rock falls down) and maybe add some more mechanics to it (watering the crops, so they don`t die instead of having them die randomly).
At least it fits the theme! Good effort!
I aggre with other comment's the rocks are falling to fast but was fun to play.
(Guys from the Dwindling Fire stream here) Whatever happened to Crappy Cropper D: Haha, just kidding man. It's a good start, just keep going and you'll get there! (: We all started somewhere and you're doing a really good job!
My strategy was to hover around the crop box. Nice job!
Is there any chance to dodge a meteorite? I cant see how. Gameplay is somewhat lacking. Idea is good, maybe you should work more on it later.
That godamn rock!cute entry!keep up!
I really like this idea and it's incredibly difficult! As someone suggested in the comments, maybe a slight warning when a meteor is about to fall, if it falls directly above you and you are not already moving it's pretty much impossible to react in time. I managed to get to the second plot 6 out of 10 crops, and it took me 10 tries! With some tweaking to the balance I could see myself playing more of this! Good job!
Nice idea but there's a lot of stuff that is annoying for the player in the game. If you can smooth that stuff over with a re-design, plus spruce up the audio-visual side of things your next game could be cool.
overall nice dude
