It's a good start, with a little more work it can be a good garden management game. :slight_smile:

Great concept, I'm always a fan of farming games. With some extra work it could be a pretty cool game.

j-c-one-bit-studio 2020-04-21 13:26

Thank you for the feedback. :)

pixel-error 2020-04-21 19:34

I agree with two comments above. The concept is pretty clever, but the graphics and audio need more time, anyway I hope you done your best!

kto-to 2020-04-21 19:37

I would like to see the development of this concept with better graphics. This is a good game.

j-c-one-bit-studio 2020-04-21 19:39

Thanks @pixel-error . 90% of my time went to coding, so I had very little time for the art, and 0 time for the audio. I hope I can make this game in the future with better art and sounds.

I love the crafting system! I know this is a bit weird, but probably my favorite part is the glow around objects you hover over. It's a really nice touch that makes it feel satisfying to run around picking up stuff lol. Great job! :)

j-c-one-bit-studio 2020-04-21 21:06

Thanks @bitpokit Yes small things like these can go a long way. Glad you liked it. :)

his face when snails eat all the vegetables are lilke mine when i found my chili eated up in the garden

spacestrawberriesstudio 2020-04-22 06:19

You did a nice job, with better arts your game will look awesome.

adriankrawczyk 2020-04-22 10:03

if the graphics were good..

pusheeneiro 2020-04-22 10:39

Great fit to the theme.

flyingthunder 2020-04-22 10:42

Amazing concept badly implemented. Bit of graphic overhaul , animation , sound and ui and it would be a great game but not there just yet.

j-c-one-bit-studio 2020-04-22 11:22

Totally agree @flyingthunder I didn't have time to finish it, but I'm planning to grow this into a full project and improve it.

chance-slaughter 2020-04-22 18:11

Cool concept!

owen-rees 2020-04-22 18:14

I really liked your artwork. Good work!

skvader-418 2020-04-22 18:17

Seemed like a cool game, But i kept getting a code error popup, didnt know what that was

rexgame 2020-04-22 18:18

Nice idea but the real was over early for made a very good game :)

j-c-one-bit-studio 2020-04-22 18:19

@skvader-418 Could you copy and paste that error message if you play the game one more time? :)

defiant-genesis 2020-04-22 18:22

It's an interesting concept. With some better graphics, some balance, and some audio this game could shine.

polarfuchs 2020-04-22 18:26

Nice Game. I liked the crafting. But I didnt find a sceond sprayer at first and all of my plants died

sigton 2020-04-22 18:34

A really good idea, just needs finishing off. Perhaps too large a scope for 3 days. If you'd left out the whole crafting side of it for the game jam, then it still would've been an effective concept but more achievable in the time frame perhaps. Still a fantastic effort though! I hope you keep on going with it :)

guntainment 2020-04-22 18:35

Nice concept. I would display the inventory on the screen directly, so you can see what you have instantly. The hitboxes of the crops sometimes seem to overlap, which made it impossible to water a crop in the top left corner of the map. Also I would speed up the game. Making the water mechanic cost less time, but increase the water needs of plants. This would be more fun.

Thank you very very much @skvader-418 . This way I can look into this bug.

skvader-418 2020-04-22 20:02

@j-c-one-bit-studio no problem, looks like a great and fun game, if you fix it im happy to play it

technodragon253 2020-04-25 15:32

I like the concept but it needs more work. I like the graphics of the trees and grass though. I wish the instructions were more clear because I couldn't figure out how to drop anything I didn't need.

emperor-eagle 2020-04-26 09:55

Good idea but it needs more work. The instructions were clear at the start, but I couldn't figure out how to craft stuff (or drop items). I tried to make a water sprayer but couldn't. I played a little bit and enjoyed walking around, as the world had a nice aesthetic to it. It's a good start, but try and narrow down ideas next time so you have the basics early. Then hopefully your game can be more completed. Definitely keeping working as this has potential! I like where this is going, just need some more time (as 72 hours is definitely a challenge)! Good job so far!

j-c-one-bit-studio 2020-04-26 14:50

Thank you @technodragon253 and @emperor-eagle I'm planning to turn this game into a full game, and make the controls and the gameplay more intuitive.

saviorium 2020-04-26 20:12

I had fun playing your game. It was hard to figure out at first, all that menuing and crafting while your plants are dying. But once I got a hang of it I fought for the last ones till the end. Good job!

z4v0 2020-04-28 09:06

cool game really enjoyable, art style not the best, but at all i had fun :)

madbarron 2020-05-11 19:57

Neat prototype. I think you have some good ideas here that could use some polish. One issue I see is that there is no reason to keep more than 1 bed of plants alive, so you could focus all your defense on a single area. One small tweak I would make: on the crafting screen I would just want to click the new item to craft and pick it up instead of adding a button to craft and then dropping it on the floor. Good submission, congrats on getting this far!

j-c-one-bit-studio 2020-05-16 06:44

Thank you very much @madbarron
