Unusual variation of farm, love it, but why ground fall off? It would be cool to add some explanation in story or gameplay

Game could use more explanations, as the sources for the resources and steps to take to progress are unintuitive

I found some visual bugs and some problems with the colliders, but overall it's a pretty neat idea that maybe can be a bigger game in the future!

Game shows potential but it looks like it's having graphical glitches where buildings are constantly flashing? at some point a UI window showed up to collect things but that wasn't closable. Was this part of the design? or a bug?

Really enjoy the art style, the pixel art is great and the clouds are really fancy! However the sprites were blinking a lot and it made it quite hard to appreciate it. Other than that, cool idea!

I don't know what I'm smoking but the trees sure look glitchy. Maybe just the dehydration.

I love the idea, though it was a bit difficult to figure out what to do or understand why the little guy is sometimes working away.

The sprite art looks really good and I like the vibe of this game. I had a bit of trouble understanding what to do and the UI was bugged for me, probably because I was playing on a 4K screen. Overall the game hasa lot of potential with some kind of tutorial. Keep up the great work!

I really loved the mood and I gotta say, the music is OUTSTANDING. The audio in general creates a super interesting atmosphere. Kinda remembers me a little idle game called Peter Talisman: lord of the Harvest, which I love very much! The art is cute and I knew I had to play since the very beginning when I saw the spirited away reference on the title screen. Yet it is a little bit rough in some pieces like the trees. Since there is no pathfinding system, I found moving the character to the right spots a little difficult, but I think you have a great game here if you could polish some of those things. Nice job! :)

Aside from some graphical glitches here and there, I liked the idea of the game and the music and sfx were good too. Nice work, be nice to see this developed further.

Best music I heard in this jam. The pathfinding and UI is a bit glitchy, and a required amount indicator would be helpful. I don't really understand the mechanics of standing on a breaking platform and fixing it, but the overall experience was nice!

Great Job! Loved the music, it was honestly very good. I also liked the idea and would like to see more from this game :D

Good job. Had some issues with graphical "popping" and would love a tutorial. The window was also very small so hard to see and interpet the icons and stuff in the menus.
