So rather than a constructive criticism, these are the comments to be received. Good to know that. I will lowering my expectations.

It's fun to place seeds and watch them grow (the art is cute!), but I don't really know if there's strategy for the player. I just planted seeds until the plot was full, then waited around until they were done.

It'd be very cool if different types of crops did something different, or if I had some way to control the chicken, but as is I didn't really feel like I had agency.

Cute little game! Took a bit of time to figure out I was holding the seed packets since the zoom in would cover it. I quickly got into a rhythm of planting seeds and running to new packets.

If I were to improve the game, I would add more forms of rising difficulty, like a 2nd chicken or something that hurts your crops. It would have also been cool if the different crops were more than just visual differences.

Overall a nice submission, good job!

I feel like this needs a watering mechanic. And maybe a way to progress towards calming the chicken with food (I don't know if that is already there, and if it is it just needs to be indicated to the player somehow. I liked the game, it is cute, and farming games are fun. Also, turning the theme upside down is fun.

Growing the food takes too long, compared to how chaotic the chicken is. The player has almost no control over the game.

It shouldn't take too long to grow the plants @knexator , Did you keep watering the plants? It stop growing if the plot is dry.

ahh i had not noticed that, it makes more sense now, and it is more fun (since the player has to juggle an extra activity). It's not mentioned in the tutorial!

@knexator ah yes, I forgot to put it there. I'll update it after the jam is over, Thanks :laughing:
