The graphics is very nice!

I loved the art and had fun with it but the game is soooo hard. Not that I can keep plants alive in real life, but...

Controls were awkward and I really wish the right shift key would work as well. And space should be usable to interact. Clicking to choose which seeds to get while the game is still running makes you lose some precious time and I just couldn't bother to choose. Another possibility is to leave the left hand with just WASD and use J and K with the right. Would have made my life A LOT easier.

Also, a lot of times thought I was standing on a plant but the water went to another one. And got stuck on the water once.

Hate those potatoes. My highscore: 0.

The game has potential and I know you're talented, please keep up the good work.

A fun little game that get's the idea across. I loved the music it was really fitting. I wish there was more of an incentive to growing the plants, like different seasons during which plants grow, and maybe a goal to achive.

I expected something different looking at the thumbnail of the game, like a puzzle game or something. Either way well done for a Jam game.

Wow, very cool entry! :blush:

Things I liked: the art, the sounds, the map are gorgeous and go very well together; the tutorial was super clear and I was ready to get into action straightaway!

Things that could use some improvement: controls were a little bit strange - wasn't a fan of having to click to choose seeds and then close the window while using keyboard for the rest of actions; difficulty could use a bit of tweaking too - plants died quite fast and I found very challenging to plant a second seed while making sure the first one didn't die. Maybe being able to carry water for more than one plant could be a good thing to allow?

Overall, good entry. Nice job!

I can't quite notice why, but I'm addicted to these visuals! Great work. Must learn to farm now

This behaves differently than most farming games lol, kept throwing me off.

Fun little game! Really enjoyed it.

Some general thoughts: Would definitely recommend adding some kind of indicator as to what patch of ground you're going to apply a tool or seed to. A couple of times I accidentally watered the wrong crop which was a little frustrating.

Would also be nice to see the value/difficulty of the different vegetables.

Overall, good job =D

This game was ok. I like the graphics and the story. It took me awhile to figure out how to get the tool to work, and then once I did I getting the seed planted was really difficult in before the life of the soil went out, and getting water to soil after the seed was planted was even harder. I also don't like the major shift in music from the menu to the music of the game, put that is just a nitpick.

A decent game. The idea works well, however i feel like some more time should have been spent on polish. its hard to tell what plant you are going to apply a tool to and the controls feel a little awkward at times, although i can't exactly pin down why that is. Other than that, good entry!
