Lovely pixel art and unique gameplay.

I am getting stuck in cutting animation and bounding boxes are a little tricky, but I love graphics, mood and game have potential :)

Reminded me South Park. Very nice village you got here). I agree, there's a potential. The mood is nice and there may be lots of fun involved, even some story with cutscenes. However, the music now is a bit of a bore. Yet, loved the concept, thank you!

Almost five stars everywhere, nice game 💙

Nice take on the theme, you guys are so creative :laughing: good pixel art too, great entry

I planted 53 lucky seed and saved my village from disaster! Nice! The game is beautifull and the universe set up is great, it has a really good unique vibe. The animations are bugged tho and you are kinda lost? Is 53 good or bad? I don't know? I just tried to fill the red circle with lucky seeds. Also i could not really harvest hairs when their was up, or it was unclear that their were up.

Overall a good entry, good job

what a unique idea :) i didnt get where the shop was at first, but then everything was working out great :) (my home is safe)

only one thing I would suggest, very simple ... if you make arrows in the keyboard work the same as ASDW its easier for lefthanded people to play (my mouse is in the left side of the board so its a bit cumbersome to use AWDS and the mouse)

this entry is perfect folks, thanks for making this

Nice game with cute wolrd and graphic.

Some times for improvement:

- for the inventory at the bottom of the window i would somehow show that you cant use it since you dont have it - indicate the hair which can be cut down - indicathe the area where you can grow hair (i was not able to place them everywhere)

That was fun!! Enjoyed playing it. Graphics, Audio and Humor makes it even better! :smile:

Very unique idea! Superb realisation!

I noticed some problems (animation bug, "growth area" not visible etc.) but they already have been discussed.

The gameplay is ok but felt repetitive after the first two days. Farming games like stardew valley works because there are always different things happening that break from routine. Adding one or two events to the game could have made the game even better.

Good job anyway!

Really well done. Music is great, the village feels alive, and I love how the crops bend when you walk through them, nice touch! It's a bit hard to see whether crops are fully grown or not. A little bit more distinction would be nice. Good job!

Definitely a unique game. Graphics have excellent polish, music is good. Will note that the scythe sound effect gets a bit grating. Also would have liked an indicator to show the area in which you could plant hair. Potions seemed kind of useless? Seemed like it made a single square of crops grow to full, which is either going to get you 5 or 10 hair, while the potion costs 20. Also could've been more obvious when lucky streaks were ready for harvesting, since they sparkle before you can actually harvest. I ended up wasting a decent amount of time running around trying to harvest hair that wasn't ready. Regular hair by contrast had a slight colour change when it was ready, which was nice.

Great idea! Graphics and audio are extremely good. Interesting take on the theme. As already mentioned by others, gameplay became a little bit repetitive after a few days. All in all it is still a really nice jam entry. Keep it up!

I feel personally attack by the title of this game :P Amazing game! The concept is hilarious and bizarre! The pixel art is beautiful (especially are the additional graphics on the sides of the field). Music sound awesome! I was able to plant 35 lucky streaks :) Great job with the game!

Took me a bit of time to figure out what to do. I think you guys have a really cool game and could work on player onboarding type of stuff. Like:

- Where can or can't you grow hair? - When are patches ready for harvest? (I started noticing a small color difference, but it's pretty slight in my opinion.) - What elements are just scenery vs. actual gameplay. I spent a long time slicing stuff that didn't actually seem to be part of gameplay?

Aside from little stuff like that though, really impressive game! The art especially was amazing!

Very unique idea. I wished there was more behind the lice village because it is soo good. It looked like it could be from a lice city builder game. If you are planning that, let me know, and I will play! Visuals and animations are great, good pixel art is always welcomed.

I was having a hard time knowing where I plant normal hair, especially without clear boundaries of a "farming area". I was running around right-clicking hoping that it catches on, sometimes only after a third click on the same spot, it finally planted something.

I didn't feel the theme during the gameplay. I assume the inevitability is that of baldness? There was a growing bald patch in the middle our the head, but I could very well plant around it, didn't know what will happen on the 10th day, how much I need, etc.

Overall, nice job! :ant: :ant: :ant:
