I just harvested almost the whole field of pumpkins, I'm rich now! Where can I convert in-game money to real one? Because it was a LOT of work :D It would use some watering automation :)

Anyway, really nicely done game! I love the graphics and those subtle animations!

Cute game! It hooked me in despite how simple it looks. I played through to harvesting my first batch of pumpkins, even though I had just been clicking through interesting looking submissions. I think the lack of instructions actually played well because figuring out the game ended up being the thing that got me to stay. And the sound effects! Well done, I'd leave a rating but can't because I didn't submit a game.

Cute simple game~ Maybe too much clicking :laughing: I love how the plant bounces when water them, its nice touch!

It seems very nice, but for some reason I can't unlock other plants, other than the first one... the button just stays pressed down. Please tag me if I am doing something wrong, the games seems pretty good!

@greenphox they are "unlocked" with seasons. There is an icon of the season next to the plants button. There are only turnips in spring. In summer you will have wheat, tomatoes and corn. In fall, corn, carrots, and pumpkins.

This game is harder then it looks. It takes a bit of prediction and the ability not to run out of money right before the season change (just like I did). I would like to pick it up once again, but it desperately needs a bit of quality-of-life improvements, such as the option to click and drag for watering, an in-game explanation of seasons and seeds' qualities and a bit of polish. And for me, the music seemed a bit too annoying, glad there is an option to disable it.

That said, I loved the art style and all the little animations! Is it your first entry made in Godot? Pretty impressive! Would love to read your thoughts on it.

Click and drag would be a welcome addition but the game was very cute.

A very beautiful and simple game. I loved the little animations and the plant -> water -> harvest life cycle :)

It was fun for a while. I think with more time, upgrades, and some other bits it could be really good.

Nice job :)

Nice animations, things flying all over the place, bouncing items, music quaint and lively. Then there was ... well we don't mention watering... ;-) 2023-01-15 16_08_02-Make it Grow by lilou_cormic.png

You already know how my playthrough went (10000+ watering clicks), but apart from that very self-explanatory and soothing game! Here's the video again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnWqmLOzSps
