Love the art style!!
It's a neat idea, unfortunately I'm really sleepy and I couldn't play this for more than 5 minutes to see everything it has to offer. Good game congrats !
This is a cool concept for a game and works really well with the theme. The gameplay loop is interesting to keep up with, I found balancing the different plants growing to be a cool idea. I like the idea of the plants having effects on the plants around them. The main issue that I ran into was that it was unclear how to unlock new types of plant; I seemed to be keeping up with orders and slowly gaining money but there was no feedback on if I was going to reach tier II plants or if I needed to do something else.
I love the art of this game, the different plants (from your screenshots) all have great growth stages and unique appearances. The music fits very well with the chill tone of the game and it was fun to just sit and move the cards around. I would have liked a shortcut to opening the shop, maybe space-bar should have been used for the shop rather then the pause menu. Overall a cool concept that could have used more guidance for what to do. Well done!
Once the interface clicked, the game was quite fun!
I loved the little graphics for the wilted plants, it was cute!
The game is very hard, I'm still quite bad at it. It's all a bit overwhelming at first, but I kept wanting to try again, and had a good time!
If you expand it to a bigger game, some audio feedback when plants go bad/need water/etc. would go a long way to helping the player keep up. :smile:
The thumbnail caught my eye and did not disappoint! The art style is super cute and I love the designs of all the lil vegetables!! I love the concept a lot and I had a lot of fun playing it but it was super difficult to keep up with all the orders, it's difficult to get ranked up higher than tier II/III xD.
I'm not sure if it's just me, but I got an audio bug whenever the plant matures. it will play on loop super fast and overstacking each other like a blubber noise.
All in all, a super cute and fun game that I would love to play again! Good work guys!
Very cute art style
I was a bit lost at first because I didn't know what to do but with time i understand ! Also the Art style is absolutely cute, i'm dying for it
I have a soft spot for games where you have to drag and drop stuff, like Kingsway. I also have a soft spot for stress management games like "Cook, Serve, Delicious!". And also, I enjoy the visual appearance of Pajama Sam games. This game combines all of these qualities which makes it a perfect game for me! :)
I had some minor issues with clicks not working in the shop. Plus, I didn't know if time stops when I'm there, so I had to move fast and skip a whole lot of reading. However, the game plays so smooth and it managed to always keep me on the edge of my seat, I had no time to be annoyed by minor inconveniences like these. The game does all sorts of things right: I appreciated the fact that money actually feel limited and sometimes when I went to the shop to stock up on seeds, I could end up not being able to buy everything I need. Strangely, it feels right to be limited in this case. Also, thanks for leaving orders on the screen when the shop is open, saved me a lot of nerves. :)
For all folks who didn't have the time to read flavor text (and for you too, of course), here's my playthrough: https://youtu.be/LPHxi-SdOas
Almost missed my DND session playing this game! Very addicted and the art is cute.
@smilewood We have fixed the guide and it is our honour to let you try again !
@gawain-doell We have some sound effect in game, however there is some bug on this and we have fixed it. Hope you could try again !
@yngvarr Think you for your suggestion and lovely gample play video !
The time actually stops when the shop is opened, but we have not included an obvious reminder.
After your reminder, we've added the instruction now ！
Very nice entry !
I starts really slow but quickly becomes hardly manageable. But the difficulty curve has been well chosen. :)
Cute art, nice music too.
Well done !
Time flies when you play this game ! I love the vegetables arts and the game bcome quickly very difficult. I like this game.
Really nicely done, had a lot of fun playing it. If I had to pin point something out it would be that it's really hard to see which growing slots are available to the player and which ones are still locked due to same color palette. If you could just gray out a little bit the slots that are locked it would make it much easier for me (that's just my opinion of course :D).
Great job again!
A little feedback input would do wonders to this game.
And, while i'm here... I'd get that DotA reference
Awesome game! There isn't a single thing I disliked about it, might be my favorite so far! The art is cute, the sounds fits perfectly, its fun playing and the pacing and dificulty is perfect.
Fantastic game, I enjoyed every second of gameplay! I have no idea what to improve. Just great game!
Hi, I loved your game. I spent hours playing and I think if I let it go I'd spend all day playing. I loved the graphics, I loved the mechanics of the game, the art, and the business is getting very difficult, I confess that I let a lot of vegetables rot. lol. Ah, if you have a little time, enter our game and give your evaluation too (just enter my profile quickly, it's the first game I make). I advise you to play the downloaded version, because the Ludum one is not adapting the window correctly!
Fun game! The circle meter was a little confusing for the first few minutes but I beat the game regardless. Great work! :-)
Wow! I really like the graphics and idea of the game, I think it match theme very nicely!
I got a time of 10:49! Very well polished game with very cute graphics.
Very good game! I could definitely see this being developed into a much much larger project. The gameplay is solid and I loved the art. The sound design is also really great. Nice work all around!
This is a really cool concept. I played this for a good while.
The art and music are just beautifully placed and chosen.
At first it was a bit confusing but you quickly pick it up. Nice job :)
I think it's a game that delicately embodies good ideas. The first impression of the game was that it was a moderately leisurely farming game, but when I entered the in-game, it was good because it had a twist that required more concentration and strategy than I thought. I had a lot of fun playing. Thank you!
@d3kryption Sorry, we forgot to include the tutorial in the game at first, and then we couldn't add new content to it because of the jam mode.
Although we put a lot of pictures and gifs on the website about how to play our game.
Sorry again. But it's nice to see you enjoy our game!
@glaupe-cabral I have seen it. Your first work is very good! Keep going!
@21st-century @orhu @ghostbomb @marryvss @donniedarko @tildecat @gubidubi @erivas-soulares @zbugba @reikan @yamzho @tomatoomelet @minakorii @shrimp-stas @vyolfers @azel-wkr @jujus
Sorry for taking so long to reply! I have been working with my team to optimize the game for some time (although we can't publish the latest version here because of the jam mode).
Thank you very much for your play and feedback. We are glad to see you enjoy our game!
We are going to release the full version of the game on steam after the end of Jam!!
By the way, if you can recommend our game to your friends...hahahaha
We can always use some more feedback and suggestions!!!
Thank you in advance!
unfortunately I could not get this to work with my 21:9 screen. I switched to a laptop and was so happy I did. It has a really charming art style and the audio is great. Nice work!
@jovanden sorry about the screen setting( We will try to figure it out!
But its glad to see you had fun with our game!
I love this game! The art is so cute, all the plants are adorable, the gameplay is different and fun, the sound effects are satisfying to hear. Overall, a great game! Well done!
We actually thought of making a card game but yours is very well made! I feel it has some mood like of diner dash type game. my plants are so fragile just like what I plant in real life. I have to highlight that the plants are so adorable! It was really delightful to play this game. Good job!
@marryvss @she-wrote
Thanks a lot for playing and ur feedbacks!
My teammate yuriscat did all the art design in our game, which is a great work! Actually almost every comments mentioned about our art style with words like cute,adorable,charming,etc.We are really happy that we made this game finished(for jam, we are still working on a complete version for steam).
But he is a little shy to reply comments by himself.so I do it for him!XD
This looks so good! I love the art style and all of the many, many adorable vegetables you've drawn! They're what drew me to come andcheck out your wonderful game!
i really enjoyed this, though i think it could've had a bit more complexity
@tweekstudios @6smith
Thanks for playing! Its glad to hear that u had fun with our game!
My team is still working on bring more cute vegs!Also we are preparing a new system to make this game a bit more complex(and new vegs with new effects come from the new system)
fun game!
Well polished game, very much enjoyed it. The screenshots and cover image attracted me to play.
The game is quite hectic and took some time to get. It a fun mini game, but I guess I couldn't see myself playing for a lot longer since it was a bit stressful without being able to pause the game to analyze the board.
Great visuals! the art is really cohesive. with some balancing and a bit more feedback on drag&drop this game could be great.
@cursedembassy @christian-zommerfelds @cemkaanu Thanks for playing and feedbacks!
We added pause function and operation feedbacks in the later version of our game.But we had a discussion about release the latest version on google drive or somewhere else ,and finally decided to remain only jam file in this page.
We will push the final version(with more new vegs) available on steam...perhaps in Feb or later.
Lovely art and sounds and it all feels really polished and well thought out. Well done!
Great game - very relaxing! I was expecting it to be a lot more complex after looking through the rules, but in reality I think it was quite easy to learn, and there was a very natural progression when learning about the newer cards.
I thought the gameplay loop was really good - there were decisions to be made about so many things like managing your freezer, laying out cards in your flowerpot, and queueing things up. I really enjoyed doing all that with the immediate 'fighting fires' that was going on.
I think the game tended a little bit on the easy side though - I completed it before I had even played all of the plants, and it didn't really get much harder as time went on. Maybe if some of the plants were even more difficult (like negative effects on both sides not just to the left) there would be more of a challenge. I also missed the UI telling me that a plant was thirsty or almost withered a few times, so would be nice to make that more obvious (I think it's more fun to lose because you fucked up rather than because you missed a notification). Making the grow time more obvious may also make the decision making more fun, and less of a battle against the interface.
But really great game - I enjoyed playing it a lot!
At the end of the day, I was confused more than anything else. Seems like sometimes the plants wilt outside of the grow field and sometimes they don't (in places other than the fridge, which seemed like it was supposed to stop wilting) so it was difficult to figure out what was happening and why my orders were ruined sometimes before noticing "oh, my plants are dead again for some reason". I did like the art and sounds though.
