Harvester

The art style is nice, which reminds me some amazing windows retro games many years ago. The plant-harvest-rich mechanics works fine. This is a pretty good starting point for a sims genre game.

Besides, maybe you should try packing the game as exe, or use some online python support for distribution. I managed to run the game after installing pygame and adding an encoding comment in the code, but this might be too difficult for non-programmers.

Nice farming simulator; I planted carrots to 100 coins. I think the gameplay would be improved by going mouse or keyboard only and perhaps by improving some difficulties, such as crops dying or running out of water. The water fading effect is nice.

Nice reto fun!I think one way to help with packaging might be pypi? Although not perfect, it will make the steps to play shorter (eg instead of having to download the script, and manually install pygame, this could all be bundled together)

Wow, that was Awesome! Out of all the Ludum Dare games I have played this year, this one kept me interested for the longest. Really COOL. spline.JPG I managed to get Full Strawberry! Proud of this. Also really cool you made the whole thing in pygame. Nice work man. Look forward to seeing future entries/ games that you make

Really fun concept, but the first upgrade didn't work for me. Good job!

Really fun idea I just wish there was some challenge or puzzle aspect. I think you could mix this idea somehow with maybe like one of those drug games mechanics where different crops are worth more or less depending on the season. A little audio/music would be nice. It would be nice if you could click the items on the bottom instead of using keyboard. Lastly, you should be able to use pyinstaller or something to turn your games into an executable for those who don't all ready or are not familiar with python. That was a lot just trying to be helpful, really good work though.

Overall interesting idea, nothing to add, most of the other comments hit on my feedback as well looks like haha.

One thing I could add is if you do end up doing something like this where there's a big barrier to entry like this game had, consider uploading a gameplay video of you playing the game. This way those who can't install it can experience what playing the game would look like even if they can't manage to install it. It'll always be better to have it playable but it's a back up plan.
