Very very fun concept! love frantically harvesting stuff, great work!
Thanks for everyone who played and rated our game!
It was a bit confusing at first, I would recommend adding the controls onto the itch.io page. After I figured it out, it was a short but fun game, nice job!
It was confusing at first and I didn't know what to do but once I got the hang of it, it was a lot of fun. Really good job on this one.
Lives up to its name! I thought the mechanics were fairly intuitive, and it didn't take long to pick up and get going. Still, a brief tutorial would be good in the beginning!
Had a fun classic arcade rhythm. Took a while to figure out you have to use left mouse button to plant and i couldnt reenter full screen after i left without going back to menu. Nice job on this!

I liked the music and overall 'feel' of the game - both seemed to play off each other. I tried a few strategies (i.e. planting all the crops, planting a few crops per turn). And only made it to level 3 @:) Overall well done!
The game lacks of a small tutorial but is quite fun! It is too easy right now but that makes it quite relaxing, that's good when so many games with this theme are stressful! Well done :)
Really cool to see another farming game! Really like the graphics style and the music :) Would definitely recommend writing a few sentences on how to play in the description.
For anyone else struggling to figure out the controls: Pick up the seeds with left click and plant them with right click. Also make sure not to spend all the money on planting seeds so you have some money leftover to pay the quota.
Definitely lives up to the name. Fun game!
Only thing I'd add is probably a tutorial page telling how to plant trees and explain what each 'power-up' (like freezing the timer) does.
As others have said before, I also think a bit of explanation would have been nice (controls, power-ups, how the quota works), but I did figure it out and had a lot of fun with the game. I played surprisingly many farming games in this jam (not a bad thing as far as I'm concerned) but this one managed to feel pretty different with the constant threat of the quota meaning you have to make sure not to overspend your money
