This is a good first Ludum Dare entry! I'm glad you were able to join the event.
In the game, it wasn't obvious to me at first that time was going up. Now I realize I have mismanaged my field and need to wait a long time for anything to happen! Is there an end game or score goal, or is this more of a toy / simulation?
It's a tech demo at best. Might evolve into something more playable in the future...
I had fun with this. I like little webtoys you can just tinker with.
I think the board has a really nice aesthetic, and the UI is really slick and clean.
You could use this as a really good basis for a browser-based board game!
This is really cool! It looks nice, it has a good looking UI too. Nice :thumbsup:
Uh oh! The board does not show up in Firefox, but does show in Chromium.
Unfortunately it did not work in Firefox for me, but it did work with Edge. I enjoyed this game, it has a fun ASCII aesthetic that I like. For a first attempt at a game jam this is very impressive!
Could not launch it on Firefox, but worked well on Edge.
Ascii art is the first programmer art, right ?
Since there was not really a goal to the game, I guess I would see this game more as a simulator. But I remember my first Ludum Dare and this is great job here ! :)
Very fun game, very playable, would be good to have a goal
AWESOME GAME! I SPENT AN HOUR INSIDE!
Nice to see an ASCII game like this, with a little bit of polish it can be a nice game!
Lovely! Was just looking for a game that i could play on mobile and this popped up! Very soporific/ cathartic/ therapeutic :)
Love its simplicity. I could learn a thing or two about keeping ideas simple. Very effective game.
Edit: why can't i rate your game? Did you opt out of ratings? 🤔
Cool stuff. I love the ASCII aesthetic. This was really fun and relaxing to play. It reminded me of the joy of tending to a zen garden, fittingly enough. I may have stayed longer if there was some hook about selling and buying more crops, advancing the farm, all that usual stuff, but honestly I think I love this game more for not driving me down that path. I thought a bit about how I would like my farm to be, and then I grew it that way. The journey was enjoyable through and through. Thank you for sharing this. =)

Love this, simple and almost meditative. I wish I could rate it :(
Really simple but enjoyable game, the aesthetic was great and I felt nice and calm whilst playing. Wish I could rate this :(
Love ascii style!
It doesn't load in Firefox, but works correctly in Chromium. Very interesting concept! I like the idea of using both HTML elements and canvas for the game. The game is enjoyable and has potential for future improvements.
Big fan of ASCII graphics :D welcome to LDJAM!
Well done. It's a good farm simulator.
Cool game, great idea. I love ASCII graphics style.
Not sure what todo. Altough I am a sucker for ASCII graphics :)

With an endgame goal/threat, it would actually have been the best farming simulator I've played this event. Wish tools/crops had hotkeys.
