Neat game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yuMfX69kxA

fixed, thanks.
Mac version works fine!
As far as farming games go, this is definitely the best one I've played this LD. This game has so many cool options! After building several self-farming corn patches I ended up building a few levels for growing mushrooms in the dark. Then I ended up building a ladder to outer space and managed to get the sun and moon stuck on it. Hilarious stuff...
The one criticism I have is that the money indicator is a bit difficult to see against the background. I'd suggest making the text white.
This is a pretty awesome game, but there's a couple of things that majorly impacted my experience. The black text for how many coins you have is almost impossible to notice, and since there's no error feedback for trying to build/plant without enough coins I was just wandering around for a while trying to plant corn and thinking the game was broken. The all black graphics aesthetic is interesting, but having it on top of an already dark background doesn't give it enough contrast.
The extra platforms and auto-coin harvesting adds a lot to the game, and it scales up really well. Having an auto-planter would have been a great next step to have everything go full-circle.
