Cute and relaxing with charming little graphics. Gameplay gets thin after a while but the core of a nice game.

Umm.. excuse me? This game is SO GOOD. My favorite LD49 submission so far. It is very satisfying to play and I really love that it doesn't yell at you for anything. Everything works like a dream and it's so well executed. I will actually replay this for a while. You have blessed us with this little game <3

I love it

Really liked this game. It somehow managed to be both smooth, soft, tranquil and laid back but still feeling really stressfull too! Great balance. Music was A+!

Lovely game! I with my friends really like it!

My favorite genre, felt really good and chill watching people wander around my stands after building them :D. Soundtrack was awesome, status information on objects are really useful. Very solid entry, congrats to the team!

Amazingly solid game. It took me a while to figure out what was going on, with the bees needing trees, trees needing bees, and how the stands worked, but once I did, I felt kind of dissatisfied. It was a little too easy then to just place stuff down and win. It'd have been nice to have a bit of progression or something.

Really good game a little bit too easy imo. Very relaxing and chill game. Graphics were really nice and charming. The sounds were nice and really matched the vibe of the game. Overall a nice relaxing experience.

Loved this game, was very relaxing to watch the little people running around picking apples. The art and music were great! Would like to see some tool tips for each of the assets you can buy for a bit of explanation on how they work. It seemed that I was getting most of my money from apples despite them being the cheapest. Great work!

Very cute game! I love farming games so I really enjoyed this game. Excellent job! :)

Nice calming game, but i thought it was way too easy. The "instability" never really came.

This is just amazing! Really fun and peaceful, great art and sound! Just well done!

Cute relaxing game, I've had a few crashes when selling stores which was frustrating as I had to refresh the page and start from scratch. The game was really fun tho, a really solid base for a good sim game!

Very cute and relaxing management simulation. I liked that everything you build interacts with each other. town.png

So cute, got "Stardew Valley" vibes all the game! I'm really impressed with all you've done in a jam, congrats!

There is a Theme Park vibe in this game that I loved. Maybe better explanations of how to provide things at stands would help, but that's a minor issue. Overall great game, congrats.

@glaciereclipse Apologies for the crash - we've been able to reproduce it but haven't been able to narrow down the cause as it only seems to happen in the deployed web build.

More missions please! Grats!

Loved this! It reminds me of Roller Coaster Tycoon in a way. The mechanics are a little hidden at first, but there's enough there to understand the basics (e.g. if the trees have apples all the time, they aren't being harvested fast enough). I think a little explanation or extra info would help; I wasn't clear on the interaction between the hives and the trees, though I assumed that the circle meant something. My biggest gripe is that there's a bug with the pathing tool where you have to hit ESC to get it to disable, but ultimately that's a minor thing. I really like the audio design - the money sound is great, and I love how the music changes as you go through the game and get closer to the deadline. I played 3 times just so I could beat it. One of my favorites!

This is so pleasant, i really love the music and the pixel art, great! The music especially, i could listen to it all day.

@rufson what is this, the moneybags family? Very funny :D
