Nice game!
OMG! Like a stressful stardew valley or an overcooked - very fun! I love the art style. The levels ramped up in difficulty very quickly, and I lost sometime around level 3. I think it's harder using a trackpad, I'd try with a mouse next time.
The game feels very polished. I like the artstyle and music very much. Core idea is very fun and a challenging concept. I had a hard time figuring out that I have to move the boxes out to deliver the crops. Also I would skip the step of having to check the boxes off and having to click the water button each time separately. Very good game!
@mcechinatto Thanks so much!
@naomiajacobs Thank you! That was the mashup we were going for. Yeah, the game is very much intended for mouse, must be pretty tough on a trackpad
@kapuetze Thanks for your review! Yep, the process in place right now may feel a bit odd in later stages as we had to cut some progression features that would've optimized and the systems in place
That was a fun multi-tasking game. Gets a bit hectic after a while (as expected). I liked the simplicity of the art-style and the quirky characters, overall the game has a very calming atmosphere.
This game gets hard fast but it's super fun! I got to level 5 with no late orders, but missed almost all of them on level 6. There were no noticeable bugs to my knowledge. The audio is well-mixed and balanced, and the music is cool. The song doesn't change chord-wise though so that gets a bit tedious to listen to. Overall great work guys! Thanks for the experience <3
very good looking game and a fun little puzzle :smile:
Such a good mood ! I couldn't stop to play I loved that game
Super nice art style and nice implementation of the mechanics. That different seasons come with different stuff is cool and makes it less repetitive. I only got to the 5th level and had no rotten things until then. Then it gets pretty hard. I didn't even notice that I had a kidney in between ^^' Good Job! :tomato: :eggplant: :corn: :mushroom:
Really enjoyed this game. It's fun and can get a bit stressful. Super cute graphics and a super high level of polish. Awesome stuff!
Lovely game, the gameplay is tight yet leaves some room for strategy as well with the timing of planting and use of box space. Good job!
Nice and tidy interface, reassuring art style and music. Good sound effects too!
This was fun - managed to get to season 10! I often forgot what I'd planted though, so unique leaves for each ingredient would've been extra helpful, but not essential. Love the odd customers and their unusual demands :)
Nice and friendly looking and sounding game. I got to level 6 before I stressed out and totally planted the wrong stuff and loosing all orders :)
Take them for free... take all my fruits and internal organs... just leave me a good review on Yelp :(
Really good job with this, I had fun! I got to season 7 and then things started going downhill.
I like the art and music, level of polish is high and it all comes together nicely.
Very enjoyable! I love the music, art, characters, and hectic gameplay. The interface layout looks nice and is pretty intuitive overall. I really like that your shop has an overall rating that is affected by your daily performance, so you can make up for a bad day by doing better in the future. Good variety of veggies to sell, and that was a great design choice to only have 8-12 growing slots so the player really has to prioritize how many of each item to grow, and exactly when to plant certain things. I also like how you can set up as many delivery boxes as you want, and sort of pre-plan some deliveries with extra food you've grown earlier. Great work on this game, you guys!
Cool!

It's quite discouraging on like season 8+ cause there is no way to serve even a majority of your clients. I'm pretty sure some of them even had so huge orders and little patience that they could barely even grown in that time. Let alone having to manage all the packing and few orders at the same time. Basically you could just serve one or maybe two of the clients and the rest will storm out. Didn't feel great.
I was doing quite good before the timers just became nigh impossible, the bar was even almost out of the frame already. Not a great use of space on this screen by the way.

It gets very repetitive after few seasons in because there is nothing new really. Just bigger orders and more ingredients which doesn't really make it any harder, just more annoying and time consuming. Sure it also got easier to do the orders wrong but having the box in correct spot helped and you only managed to serve two customers at a time anyway. Pretty much only sometimes forgot some slow growing ingredient from an order because I thought it was going to the later one.
Strong and cohesive visual art style, looked nice and the sound effects did their job well. Music got repetitive quick too being that short of a loop but not to the point of annoyance really. The orange sprite kinda popped out from the rest by being less detailed and sloppy looking. The customer patience meter was kinda confusing. Would have made a lot more sense (to me at least) to get rid of that arrow and just have the red fill up.
At first I didn't quite understand that the boxes needed to be closed. After messing about trying desperately to drag them, I found the button and clicked it on all of the boxes not really noting what was inside of em. Run ruined, it was time for a reset. The close button was also annoyingly small compared to everything else that had a a quite generous hitboxes and effect areas.
Other thing that felt tedious was watering the plants. The can being positioned so far and needing to drag for each plant separately was a bore. So much going back and forth there for no good reason. Didn't require any skill or precision, just a waste of time.
And these aren't seeds really. 😅 But of course it would maybe be confusing to have some other sprites for them (and more work to the artist on your team too).

But yeah, that's it. Good job, very strong entry! 👍
Very fun game. Love the music and art. My only complain is that you can block box confirmation button with another box but other than that the game is amazing. Good job!
Fun game! Feels like it'd be at home on a tablet. Love the fun mood/art style and the tight loop :)
This was surprisingly stressful, I love how much you got out of this one relatively simple mechanic. The fact that you have to draw newly every single time works really well, but I would love to see some upgrades, which allow me to water multiple tiles at once or something like this. Really well done!
This game is really cute and fun. The music is the perfect fun energy to keep you going while waiting for the crops to grow. The organs were the best unexpected curveball. great work!
This is really solid, and _really stressful_ but yeah seconding what others have said about maybe allowing upgrades and watering more tiles/maybe getting more tiles later?
The game does become basically impossible in later seasons though, and the ramp in difficult is of course something you'd want and it's difficult to balance on a LD deadline so either way, really good work you two!
Still very impressed that looking at how the game is put together there's almost no rough edges visually, sound wise and otherwise (and props for actually being able to return to menu and even having confirmation UI in between!)
Loved the game :)
* the art is super cute * the mechanics are straightforward, but it doesn't prevent the game from being reasonably challenging * can't really tell what i've put down when planting seeds in tiles
Nice game, i really like the graphic. I played until season 5 with no missed order, but after that its more difficult.
I would like if there are more mechanics when the game goes further (not only add/change seeds), for example, differents soil / other thing than water to do.
Cool game, it gets hectic very fast, overall nice game
