Lovely little fun game :)
I didn't expected this when i started to play. This is a nice twist on the 'farming games' genre,flavoured with a lot of humour and great voices. The cartoon style i adore also.
Of course there are some small glitches (veggies getting stuck behind obstacles sometimes), but that's to be expected in a jam game.
Overall this game gets high praise from me because of the love that the developers clearly put in it. The game feels,looks and plays really smooth. Great job guys!
This game is cute and ridiculous, I think my only complaint about this little game is there isn't more to play. :D FYI, I'm gonna try to plant some TVs in RL.

The bizarre scenario, voice acting and all of the different weapons that you can grow made the game great fun! The combat didn't feel satisfying at first; I wasn't sure if I was damaging the enemies. Maybe some blinking effects on hit might help. This was until I grew my first almight weapon: the desk. Charging and dashing through all the vegetables was really fun. The desk was one of many crazy & fun weapons which I all enjoyed. Next to charging and lasering I also really enjoyed the art and the fact that it is a 3d game. Great job guys! Yihaaaaaaa!
Guys, this game was awesome! I had so much fun growing tables and running at carrots. Would love to see this one expanded!

Awesome graphics, music and voiceacting :) I enjoyed the gameplay. It was kind of fiddly attacking the enemies, (no feedback on wether you hit or not), but awesome game. Well done.

This is very nice idea, love the 'weirdness' but only in the best way possible! :) Nice use of the theme, sometimes I was not sure if I am hitting the veggies or not. But I love it all around and the jokes are really nice touch! Great job

Love the graphism and the audio ! Cute idea and nice realisation !
As soon as I heard that horn sound, I actually laughed out loud. I'm a sucker for good humour in LD. Good job! :D
A great take on the theme, that's well polished. I found the controls to be a bit awkward though
This was so much fun! That horn sound effect had me laughing every single time. It was maybe a little hard to know when my attacks were landing on the vegetables, but everything else about it was so much fun. Great job!
#### Reviewing Jam version Really innovative take on the theme, I love it! I think everything worked really well together, the SFX and Music were highlights for me though. I can see a lot of work, sweat and ~~veggies~~ blood went into this, and it shows!
I have seen that the post-jam version, so won't comment on things that have been resolved.
- Movement feels a bit clunky, it's not horrible I just think it could be a tad tighter. - Combat still feels a little bit wonky, and there doesn't seem to be any weight when attacking the filthy veggies (Maybe have some detritus flying off when you hit?). - A prompt to sleep for the night, walking into the tent was OK but I feel like it could be improved
It wasn't a chore to play the game at all, just things I think would make it pop more than it does. Great job! Thanks for playing my game on stream and the feedback provided!

Good concept and well executed. I liked the look of it, and the music was nice in the background. My only complaint was it was difficult to tell I was hitting any vegetables, and there were too many options at the start.
Overall, very impressive, well done!
Great feedback all, thank you!

Good job!
Great idea for a game for this theme! Voice acting was an excellent touch and added a bit of humor. I got a bit stuck at the end of day 2 and couldn't continue after I'd killed all the veggies. I think a neat feature would be some special resources that were risky to get by being far away from the farm, kind of like Don't Starve. Graphics were fitting to the mood of this game. Well done Dan!
Thanks Sam! Big thanks to Brainoid too who did more work than me <3 A good idea about the resources in other places, and you risk leaving your farm undefended as a result. Thanks for the input and for playing our game!
Thank you for submitting your game to be played on my stream!

Too funny! I really connected with the character here. The audio, art and design are all great, a well put together jam all round!
Very fun and unusual game. Well polished visuals, UI and sound, especially, like good comprehensive gameplay loop.

Love the concept. Very cute. I've gotta thing for farming sim games so this was right up my alley. It was a little hard to tell when I was hitting enemies but I think that comes with time as well. Some type of feedback that I'm hitting the enemies is diffidently something to look into.
Thanks for hanging out on the stream, as well. Here's the [link to the stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/420903849). Your game should start around [02:21:23].
Very strange game, but I like it! Just thought the controls were not that well implemented, like having to step on the land to plant something on it. Other than that pretty nice game!
Very good looking game with neat UI and very well fitting VO (G key included). The upgrades are cool, but marred by the melee combat, which just didn't feel very satisfying. Attacking with the tables for example were another matter entirely (tables felt OP, but I wasn't able to finish the game so what do I know...)
The randomisation of the resources felt a bit unbalanced. My first run ended with me having around 15 of lumber and iron but pretty much no water.
The postjam version has a death-related bug - the remaming veggies will just keep beeting (sorry, not sorry) the farmer senseless and the game won't return to the main menu.

I like the effort that went into the models, music, mechanics, and theme. It's pretty good! I think the player model would benefit from being less symmetrical though, so you can more easily distinguish his front from his back. The biggest problem I had though was punching things; I had trouble landing blows.
Overall though, nice work!
HI DAN AND BRAIN. Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream, disappointed I didnt get to grow a camera!
