I think clicking outside of the play area causes a bug where I can't move. Had this happen twice

I couldn't really figure out where to put what, but I think the art looks really nice. Especially the waterfall.

Very nice art, really solid work on that. Was pretty confused about how to play though, it could use some additional instructions. I really think the characters and environment could flesh out into a solid game. Good work!

I was able to figure out how to plant things and complete one list of the mission? So I was able to gain some time on the timer :3

The graphics are really cute! Although I wasn't sure how to gain more seeds to plant new things after I completed the first list of requests!

Overall, well done everyone!!

Outside the issues said in the description, the game was pretty good. I absolutely loved the art and gameplay. It was relaxing but still made me have to think about the plant placement. Only other issue I had was I couldn't plant the funeral knell even though I had 3 of each resource.

Tarzan have a great support

Thanks for the feedback everyone - some tutorial text has been added to the game description to make things a little clearer. It was intended to teach the concepts in game, but we just straight up ran out of time.

I sincerely adore everything about the art and character design - Absolute props to your artists! Always a pleasure to play a goblin game during LD

Neat concept, farming mushrooms and trying to find the right balance of light, heat, and moisture! It took me a while to figure out how to get more seeds by composting mushrooms and I ran into some of the issues described on the page, but they're pretty minor.

The art is really cute and the audio is relaxing, overall you guys did a good job ^^

Hey I finally got a chance to play. I wanted to play this game for a few days :) Love the mood and the graphics well done. I think the game has a lot of interesting mechanics, but as a new player going into the game it's overwhelming and I'm not sure I totally got it. Since I also failed and didn't complete the game :) Good job though, I think with some more easing in for the players. This would be amazing.

Somehow I couldn't get Button to move, however the planting of mushrooms did work. While I didn't get far into the game, I find the idea of looking for the perfect spot for your different mushrooms a very strong motivator to explore! I'd love to see where this game is going if you chose to continue working on this game!

The art is, needless to say, exceptionally cute and is what made me interested in the game in the first place!

The art and music is really wonderful. I might try again later, but it seemed like I was only able to plant one kind of mushroom. I'm probably just missing something though. I do think a little more guidance at the beginning would help a bit, though I pretty much figured out what to do by clicking around. Overall, a very cute little game!

Very nice little game. I love the art direction in this game (The character design is extremely appealing to me) and the environment itself was very nice as well. The idea of having to grow plants to allow you to grow more plants was a really cool idea with them all having different requirements and I thought it was very unique.

I like it, but it is a bit too bugged, I think you are allowed to fix the bugs and reupload it because some are gamebreaking :)

It was definitely a fun time.
