Had issues with the shop, didn't seem able to get anything? But using the cheats was able to get some items and start combining things, really cool game! Love the clean visual style

I'm not quite sure how to play this game. I can't interact with the crop, I can't catch the spider due to a lack of bug catching net, and I can't buy a net because I have no items. What am I missing?
Interesting game. At start I was confused how to get first item (there is no info which tells you that you have tu pull up the crop).
The composition of the windows is very strange. The shop quickly becomes pointless, but its given just as much space as the inventory window, which is where I spent most of my time looking.
I would've liked to see the little bugs I was combining together actually walk around on the screen, and I would've liked to see more of them.
Gameplay is very slow, which isn't a necessarily a bad thing, but I think I would've had more fun if there was more than 1 plant sprouting at a time, and more than 1 bug on the screen at a time.
Either I am stupid, or the game is bugged. I read the insturctions carefully, tried to click any visible UI element with left-, right- and shift-click without any visible progress. Also there was no sound. I managed to get some progress with cheats, but I did not know what to do with the inventory items and I got frustrated. :( I am sure there is a game somewhere there, but I was unable to find it.
I like the presentation here, the idea is fun and I especially appreciated the action of picking the plants. Unfortunately it devolves into a lot of trial and error pretty quickly, and for some reason I was never able to find one of the items in the "others" section, despite trying (I thought) literally every possible combination of the other items. Still, I like the art, and there's some nice stuff here. I just want to know what that last thing was! =P
This game is visually nice but feels kinda weird to play :/
Interesting idea for the game, once I settled on how what works I really enjoyed playing it :smile:
i liked the idea of the game, and was not expecting POTATO SPIDER hahaha i got all recipes! nice minimalist art, the UI lacks a bit of clarity, but it was fun to discover all the combinations!
