Great game!
a little bit boring when waiting for the time, and I think the game is too slow. The potato need 5 days to grow and just make 200$ for me. Fun for me when I need to hurry up plant/harvest the potato,but felt boring during the other time.
Okay great. I'm going to have to add this game to my list of ones to play. I don't know why, but I had so much enjoyment planting potatos, watering and sleeping. Maybe i was a druid in a past life. Great job!
My only negative point was the hammer and hoe look way to much a like! But apart from that I've book marked it ahahah
Great job :)
There had to be at least one straight up farming game, and this one was satisfying to play! I had all my hard vanished after the first day when I forgot to water the plants, but I only made that mistake once. I'm also curious... is there actually more land if you manage to get OVER 9000 gold? I quite enjoyed that little joke. It also took me a day to realize the bed lets you sleep mid day, which was a massive quality of life improvement being able to skip to the next day once everything is finished.
I found the secret box behind the house. Got to buy the hammer, though unfortunately the game reset at season 2 so I did not get much use out of it. I farmed 16 potatoes first season. The funniest part of the game I found to be throwing around you tools whenever you no longer need them.
~~The zip file does not include the executable, so that is not playable. Can you try uploading a build that includes it?~~ The web version is rather small and this game is better played full screen.
Edit: I didn't unpack it into a folder so only saw the data folder.
fun little game but i think losing everything you bought every season is disappointing since potatoes take so long to grow
@asahi Yes the game balance is a bit too on the slow side. I think I will make the potato grow faster and based on game time so that it is not exactly day based.
@d3kryption Hopefully I can continue working on this, was really fun and I have lots of fun ideas for more content.
@lookleftstudio Unfortunately there is no more land as it was a late addition and the actual land didn't make it into the jam game, hopefully it will become available in the upcoming free dlc :laughing:
@bcmpinc @zsharpfire Money carries over, but you're right the season change is bugged and the rocks come back and I suppose if you kept seeds they also disappear :slight_frown: Need to fix that in the upcoming versions.
@bcmpinc Not sure why you didn't get the executable, tried downloading the zip and it was there :confused: Anyways, I added zip also to github and link to webgl build which can be fullscreened.
A farming game! liked the physicality of it, picking up things and putting them down.
Few areas of improvement: - Not being able to see my money in the shop is a little annoying. - You need to press escape twice to open the menu in the browser if you are full screen, then click the button again - maybe an addition button would help here. - Don't remember if it was told but I thought that went I ordered seeds they would arrive quicker, thought it had bugged. - There is not a massive amount to do, the time pressure is great fun, but it would be better if I could multitask more, its mainly just water and sleep, with the reset taking away things it was quite frustrating. more planting and management would have helped here, do I have enough water, can I plan out new areas etc
Graphics were simple but nice.
Overall I had and interesting time, but got stale quite quickly.
Nice vibes and a great looking entry. I think it's a fun little piece but get's a little slow at some points of just watering and waiting. I think a fun addition might be if you had to walk a decent distance to get water for your can to water the plants. Overall great job getting all this done and entered into the jam!
I enjoyed playing I didn't get to 9000 only 2000 I feel like the hammer should pass into the next season because it doesn't seem very useful because it's 300 every season and it seems quicker to just plant 15 potatoes and spam sleep into the next season and not buy a hammer and more seeds. I had a a lot of fun very cool game. :)
I found a hidden box :)
Fun game! Feels a lot like the gameplay loop of stardew valley when you're busy trying to grow things, which is not a bad thing at all. There's tonnes you could do to build on this after the jam if you want, like adding more tools, plants, upgrades, and things to do during the day.
Very nice game!
I had a good time getting through the first season. I loved the physicality of holding the different tools and using and dropping them in world. I found that I couldn't quickly swing my mouse and click on things though - is it tied to the physics update rate? Fixing that would make the game feel a little better.
Regarding your mouse issues in the description, I've done first-person web builds before too and I think it's a Unity issue. At the time, I looked it up at the time and no one else had fixed it either.
Nice job! Had some fun making the potatoes and I found the secret cache :)
@aes1 The hammer and removed rocks and any other tools or items were meant to persist to next season but it's bugged (or not implemented :D). Definitely I will fix it once I get to working on this again which I hopefully will soon.
@benskca I've already got lots of ideas for the future once I get around to working on this again. Definitely will use stardew valley as inspiration :D
@fuse-in-a-bowl Didn't notice the swinging and clicking thing myself, I have to take a look at it. The input logic ended up being a bit weird I have to say so I wouldn't be suprised if there is some issue but it's not tied to physics update.
that's a good one...I did 6potato..next 8...nice polished full game...i wish the days may be little longer..
Overall very well executed game! (Loved the sounds) Some things I noticed: * it seems a bit weird to me, that you recieve your money at the next day. This makes harvesting less rewarding and additionally you have to wait another day anyway until your order arrives * I might be wrong here but it seems to me that a plant takes about 6 days to fully grow? If thats the case you can at most plant one potatio on every field in one season. It could be more interesting if you could manage to get two potatos per field if you work effectively (with 1-2 days buffer) * After I bought the hammer I was surprised that he vanishes after the season (of course I bought him at the end of a season when I got enough money) This seems really strange to me because the hammer is relatively expensive and takes some time to gather. I then found the hidden box but there was also no hammer :slight_frown:
I AM SPEED. I AM POTATO. Cute game!
A good farming game. I like the way you interact with the world and hold tools.
