Love the game loop! Not sure if intended but I move a lot faster on diagonals instead of all being the same move speed. I'm cheating with it haha Also the coin count overflow after getting to 3 digits on the upgrade screen. Great job!

good job making the game, but i don't know where the wool is or even the roses, it could have some sign that gives you where to go, but good job making the game AND graphics!

Wow! So many upgrades. The game loop is very addictive. I think this would play great with a controller. (The CRT effect is a bit strong for my taste, but otherwise great graphics!) Feels very finished overall. Don't think I would be able to tell this is a jam game.

Nice core loop - it looks like keep on mining but with character controlls Great job - BUT - man - your Balatro like effect su3k - My eyes hurt.

It hurts to watch or play.

Make simple 2D graphics and remove this terrible effect—it doesn't sell the game or make it better.

It just feels like you have nice game and then you decided for play game - you just have to suffer :D

Yeay ! Capture d’écran du 2025-10-06 12-30-02.png

It was very fun to play, the game loop is catchy, timings are good, graphism is well polished and music was lively.

I understood how the water fountain works only at the very end and I'm still not sure if producing wood could be a good strategy to get money, and I didn't understood what the check list to do each day was for until the victory screen ! Nice game !

olddog 2025-10-06 13:41

@birofio thanks for your comment!!! you should unlock sheep to get wool and unlock rose chance to get rose,there should be sign to let players know that,I will spent some time to fix this after the jam!

olddog 2025-10-06 13:43

@staticrose I want to add a controller support after the jam.and the CRT is a bit strong alse for others !! so I had turn the CRT effect a little down in lastest version,thanks for your playing~

olddog 2025-10-06 13:46

@boris-himko thanks for your comment a lot !!! there are others dont like the CRT effect, so I had change the CRT effect to a soft mode,I am glade this problem was fixed before the jam ends !!! ps : I am a great fan of keep on mining

olddog 2025-10-06 13:50

@sebbernery thanks for your playing, you are the first one to completed this game so far!!!producing wood is not the best strategy to get money in this version,,I want to use wood to unlock other tools in design but not enough time to do this,also, I had add some new animals and buildings to unlock,if you like the new stuff,please let me know

olddog 2025-10-06 13:52

@straw thanks for you point out the bugs !!! the player does move faster on diagonals and I had fix this in lastest version

This was a really REALLY fun game! GREAT JOB!!! Very addictive and fun!

memel06 2025-10-06 14:30

Very fun game with nice graphics. A controller support would be great

rhewid 2025-10-06 15:50

Insanely fun and addicting game. Please make it a full game. Really great job! Also so much content in the game. thatwasfun.png

Nice take on a classic Ludum Dare formula. Always love this kind of game, I think I played for more than an hour in a single session.

enad96 2025-10-07 11:16

5/5 Neuron activation game

mr-kliff 2025-10-07 14:48

It's a very simple yet exciting game, no matter how it sounds! I liked it!

maxiney 2025-10-07 20:44

The game and graphics are both very simple and clear. I like this kind of farm-related management game, as harvesting and hoarding bring a sense of satisfaction.

ciphereo 2025-10-08 05:41

A very interesting game! I like it!

ira-baciu 2025-10-08 10:12

Lmao, audio for this game is something!

kseniya 2025-10-08 10:50

interesting visual, I like farm games

porcupine-sashimi 2025-10-08 11:02

Game loop is very addictive and fun! Mid-late game scaling is a bit unsatisfactory compared to early game, especially after figuring out that wool is by far the most efficient. Towards the end it was a bit frustrating that every other upgrade was so expensive yet useless compared to just harvesting wool.

imos 2025-10-08 11:09

It's fantastic. I enjoy the game loop. Everything is so wonderful!

amanon 2025-10-08 11:35

A simple but very enjoyable game. It’s surprisingly addictive and kept me playing for a long time!

6knowledge 2025-10-08 11:55

Oh boy that was a game and a half, accidentally played for like 45 minutes to min max my sheep and cow empire. Graphics and audio were nice (besides the **VERY** loud background song), audio sliders would've been nice. Couldn't figure out what the wood was supposed to be used for as I went there exactly once before realizing the animals are much easier. More player abilities would've been nice, but for a game jam game it was already quite a lot of things to do, well done.

greenpig 2025-10-08 12:02

Incredible game, the graphics, the music, the controls, everything. The moment I saw the skill tree I knew I had to 100% the game. I got tired at day 50. Good job2025-10-08_14-01-26-049.jpg!

split82 2025-10-08 13:01

There's so much stuff in this game. I love it :) It's a tiny bit similar to what I've made, but with many more upgrades. Great job!

kitz 2025-10-08 13:03

Too addicting

void4 2025-10-08 13:18

Really impressive game, I played to the end and then until I had unlocked most of the upgrades. Overall it is pretty well balanced, although wood could definitely do with a buff since it's so slow to get (I prioritised milk and could easily get hundreds near the end).

dm1tr11 2025-10-08 16:46

Super addictive game, I like it

pigeonescu 2025-10-08 17:03

Spent too much time playing this, as others pointed out it is very addicting. The bar above the player not going all the way to the right felt a bit weird, I was always thinking I have 1 more space in my inventory.

parkuhrmd 2025-10-08 17:54

I played this game way too long. Loved it!

danicoredj 2025-10-08 19:17

i will play all night

johncast123 2025-10-08 21:19

SO ADDICTING. Something in our human nature to just collect stuff. It's why cookie clicker got so successful. Fun game! I wonder how you can further expand on the concept. I found my method for optimizing became just going to the sheep because it was closest to me.

nomus 2025-10-08 21:45

I'm addicted, this game is not good for my brain, i love bread.

nbumgardner 2025-10-11 20:38

Cute game, it was fun to gather so many things and see the goals get completed. At maximum speed looking at the grass pattern started to make me feel dizzy, which could also been from how fast the camera followed the farmer even with the easing to catch up with him. The sound design was peppy to go along with the gameplay too.

rynti 2025-10-13 18:01

really wanted to unlock everything, but had to stop at day 67 as the unlocks just took too much time at this point :sweat_smile:

FYI, probably already know this but the wood upgrade are not working, and also not checking for whether your inventory is already full :)

sangheli 2025-10-20 03:50

окей, это отличная инкременталка​
