Wow, nice game! The idea is original and well executed, nice take on the theme! I had a bit of trouble with finding the right keys at first but with some practice, it felt a bit more intuitive. Great job!

Cool game, it looks really nice and is well polished! I'm pretty bad at it though :P

really lovely pixel art work, and I can tell that a lot of focus went in on juice, visual style, and mood. using the whole keyboard is a really cool concept, this could really be an incredible game for training your typing skills. Lovely music too, I've had it in the background as I'm typing this and it's quite soothing :smile:

Nice concept! I can't 'harvest the plants on the first try 😂, very good sound ambiance and beautiful pixel art!

Cool idea! I was constantly confused and counting the buttons, it was very funny

I think you should probably keep what key to press over the farms if you wanted it to be a typing game. If that isnt a priority though it seems great!

Today I learned that I don't know the keys on my keayboard. Thank you. ahah great idea and great execution ! Love it

Very simple and yet original idea ! The amount of polish you've put here is great ! Cute art, nice and relaxing music, enough juice, and, to be honest, I don't see that many games that implements multi-language keyboard support ! Two words : WELL DONE !

Nice color palette, really beautiful colors. I'm a big fan of keyboard typing games and I had fun with this game.

The only negative point for me is the different colors for the plant states, for a colorblind like me, it was hard to tell the difference between the states, especially for the second type of plant. But I still managed to pull a 79 score hehe

+100 for supporting many keyboard type

Good job!!

Really cool! I love this mechanic!

Really cool idea and great execution! I don't know if it would have been better to keep the letters and numbers on the screen, but it was kind of funny to have to search for the right key at times.

Can confirm that it would have been great to see the key labels in the game, as my touch-typing ability apparently doesn't respond to keyboard-shaped objects. However, in that case, it would also have been awesome to have a DVORAK layout available, which I take it is not very common.

The game itself was great - the pixel art looks great, the music matches well, and there's quite a bit of skill involved in not just locating the keys, but also timing keypresses to not interfere with each other.

I did extremely poorly the first two or three times, until I realised I had to allow plants to ripen prior to harvest. After I figured that out, things went a lot better :)

(yes, I know plants ripening is described on the game page, I just can't read lol)

Such a cool idea ! But unfortunatly I suck at this kind of games xD Really nice atmostphre and graphics well done !

A self-explanatory, beautifully presented game. Wonderful!

As mentioned before, it would be more pleasant (maybe even optional) if the buttons remained faded in, but that's complaining on a high level.

Otherwise, I can't say much except that you've done an excellent job!

Surprisingly challenging. Though I believe just the coordination part can be hard enough, I'd like an option to leave the letters visible for longer. Good job, very creative despite its simplicity.

This game is real hardcore, hats off! Noticed nice tradeoffs when you have to get crops before Peak Maturity or you just lose the timer. Wondering if the multiplying probability is different for the Mature and Peak Maturity crops.

hacktrout 2023-01-10 18:54

@dzugaru Thanks for playing! The amount you get for mature crops are exactly half of the peak mature ones. Either way that amount is multiplied by a combo factor :)

Really awesome and unique idea for a game! It was fun to try it out :)
