Well, I did it, on day 19!

I collected most of my money from cows. Going to shop doesn't consume a "day", but resets the dairy hut. Another thing is this - I collected money for the best sword for like forever, and then got it for free. :E (game didn't take any money for it)
Overall - nice and cozy game, could use some chill music. :3
Cute! Not fully fun to play because of the two buttons, bu stick well to the theme :)
This game does not make any sense! Why do they like cabbage so much?!?!
Great game! I didn't realize there were other things to fight besides Gindra (perhaps help text should also include "fight monsters (west)" before "fight gindra"). It appears to be possible to beat the game on Day 1 by visiting the shop, buying a chicken, and then just continuously jumping between shop and harvesting livestock without ever resting =).
@Saymon thank you, trying to use cuteness to take the attention away from the fact that I can't art...
@rzuf and @Jimbly , oh you **** cheaters :P haha, yah, It's a known bug but if you managed to find it then you deserve the glory of beating it on day 1! Congratulations :)
@rockford Agreed. I think the idea has potential to be fun, I just didn't manage it this time. But learned a lot, definitely.
I like this game idea, but I think it kinda got strangled by the 2-button theme. The actual gameplay was sound, if glitchy, but the interface left me with a headache. I can't think of a way to do it better with the limitations you had, but I found myself wishing for a mouse interface. I think this could have been helped with slower scrolling and more information density. The whole thing was exacerbated by the lag spikes I experienced, which worry me because the game doesn't have anything that could reasonably cause them. This could be a good game with a developed combat system, but as it was I found myself taking advantage of the bugs to speed my way to the finish.
@Piscythe thank you for the feedback, really appreciate it. I think the game lacks a ton of visual feedback and "interactivity" as it is.
I just had to finish the game! Well done. The two button control feels a bit forced but works strangely well. May work even better on mobile :)
Neat take on Harvest Moon! You did the right thing with this bright and clear art style.
Really liked the idea. I think if the other theme was 3 buttons instead of 2 and you could use "up" to interact with the environment or attack this game would have been amazing. Nice job working with it though and doing the auto pick/drop thing. I think feeling the need to do both themes really got the best of everyone.
The controls made the game feel tedious and I accidentally did a few things I didn't want to
Cute idea! The waiting in place for the action is a clever way to get around the two button controls but it felt either too fast when i didn't know what i was doing, or too slow when i did.
Didn't see the need to plant seeds since the animals give quick money with none of the work, and since everything resets when you change maps.
Combat is a little annoying when you have to back up to the right then go left again to attack more than once, and health upgrades would've been helpful to avoid backtracking.
Overall it's a nice idea though, the art style is cute, and it's an impressive amount of content for 48h. Nice work!
@WakeOfLuna,

@NightShadow0,
Thank you for all the feedback. This is my first Ludum Dare, but I did others Jams before where we get no feedback and its not as amazing as LD. I'm learning so much in so little time, so thank you all <3
Really cute graphics! And nice take on the theme! The mobs remind me of another game, I forgot which one ;)
The cows are a bit overpowered, at the end I had an income of 40000 per day (I had 80 cows) and could have easily bought more cows. (It would be nice if one could just stay in place and get 1 cow/seed per second.
I like that the player can choose when do attack the enemies, I wished that there was a bit of a time pressure, because I just waited untill I could buy the diamond sword.
Very good game.
Very nice game
