I think you mixed up the categories you opted out from (for example, the game fits the theme, but it has no audio).
Using the knife was a bit confusing but not impossible.
Otherwise, it does exactly what it says on the tin. I got a bit more than $100 before quitting. Also, the main character runs very fast (and can jump using the pots, though I didn't try exiting the stage that way).
Sadly it is quite messy and feels really unpolished due to the base unity colors.
However, the junky physic was quite fun and the concept works.
It's a nice idea! I like the overall atmosphere of the game and the sort of zen-like feel to it... The game was quite buggy tho, some things just phase through the floor and I couldn't get them back anymore... Also, like another commenter already mentioned, I think you opted out of the wrong topics, the theme was very fitting, but there was no audio. For a jam game tho, it's great that you were able to make and finish something!
An interesting environment you have created. I was able to get a tomato plant to grow but could not get the knife to work, try as I might. If you could improve the controls and UI, this could be a lot of fun.
i know the knife is verry tricky and i dont solve it at the release
It's a fun little interaction. I would have enjoyed some more nuance to the core loop, like maybe you eventually need to plant new plants cause the old withers. And maybe some aspect of waiting for time to pass and the plants to grow. Well done :)
The way the physics worked was really funny :) I managed to grow a few tomatoes and sell them, but then I didn't feel compelled o continue playing - maybe if there were more plants to purchase and grow, or just something else to do with the money, it would provide more motivation :) But overall, nice entry!
I had a lot of mechanics in mind but I had to limit myself for the time of the jam I would also have liked to do other vegetables =)
Strange game that I do not understand but had a weirdly fun time with it. Couldn't figure how to harvest tomatoes, i think my watering can bounced away from me, I left the boundaries by accident.
Looks cute but I couldn't figure out how to play it (maybe because I was playing it on my laptop with trackpad and not an actual mouse). Am I suppose to press the right mouse button while holding the left mouse button to use objects? (that's not possible with the trackpad). Would be nice to offer key bindings as well so that it would be easier to play with trackpad.
Other than that, the physics were a bit clunky and specifically the watering can fell into the ground a few times :smile:
I'm not rating it yet because I assume I couldn't play it because of the trackpad. I'll try it again with an actual mouse once I get home.
Nice idea. The game isn't polished but I enjoyed my time.
Cool concept! It took me a few tries to get around the watering can glitching through the floor, but then things got better. Well done!
