Nice game and very cute graphics! I liked the game loop, but I think that it's getting a bit too straightforward once you figure out the basics.

Wow! I mean wow! :laughing: I fast-travel back to childhood. I could imagine myself being that little kid again cursing on the crow on my 8-bit NES. Great job! This could be polished through the roof. Even if you opted out of the audio cat, the music has been picked perfectly! Awesome work!

Nice little game. I enjoyed the game loop, but once you get a hang of it, it becomes a little bit too easy. Also crows always fly to crops once you plant them, if you didn't plant crops for some time. Also, it is a little bit annoying to not ba able control music volume. Though I liked the idea of planting crops in different patterns. Overall, nice little game. Good work! P.s. I think it would be better to make scoring system depend on amount of gather crops rather than left money.

The art is incredible! One part that frustrated me pretty quickly was the instant destruction of a crop once a crow hits it - a tiny bit of grace with that would've felt much better. I couldn't get harvesting to work either (I only worked with carrots), though maybe I was doing something wrong. I assume that's how you gain more money. Good choice of music, fits really well. I might try to play again to really get into it more and I'll update this and my rating if I can!

I thought this was pretty charming! The cauliflower and tomatoes were a bit hard to plan around since their shapes changed, especially after I have a few sprinklers up. At one point it became impossible to place the cauliflower I bought, but maybe that's just part of the risk in investment.

A small tutorial would have been a nice addition. Other than that very well rounded game. Consistent art - fitting audio. Very good job with this - unfortunately I kind really rate as I didn't make an entry myself.

R$840 on my first try! Really fun game and just wonderful art. You already have in the most important feature: not allowing to use the watering can on invalid spots (already wateder, empty lot, rock etc) I just could use any other cue that my stamina is running out, I passed out a handful of times... Maybe when on ~20%

Lovely game! The graphics were cute. I wish that the birds would eat the crops a little slower because I could not make it in time to grab the stick and chase them away.

Nice look and aesthetic. I didn't realize harvesting plants was its own button, I was expecting it would be a tool like everything else and I accidentally destroyed all of my crops. -_-

Great game! The gameplay is addictive. Really nice and cute graphics. I love the animations!

Good job!

Awesome little game, I love all the personality in all the animations, so much character in such a small package!

Really well polished fundamentals but I did find it hard to figure out how the mechanics worked, the hammer was really confusing for a very long time but eventually I figured it all out. A bit more explanation on the clock could have helped me plan out my season better too as I kinda got surprised when the game just ended. But the fun part was tending the garden anyway so it doesn't really bother me.

Awesome work, really good jam game!

Honestly could play this all night. My only complaint is the placing of the items feels just a little bit touchy. Very good job. A lot of fun! Add some CORN!!!

I really enjoyed this, might even come back and play again sometime. Really satisfying gameplay loop and the game is really polished. Controls were kinda finicky here and there, like someone else said a tutorial or more intuitive directions would've been nice at the start, other than that I think it was good. Decent use of theme with only 1 item AND the odd patterns you had to plant the seeds with.
