Old farm old times

Well done for a game made in just 24h! It took me a little bit of time to understand that time was constantly moving as you went between the different minigames, and the requests were expiring, but the first time the "request expired" sound effect played while I was in the middle of filling my watering can, everything clicked. I can see the vision :)

24 hours obviously doesn't allow for a wide variety of minigames, but I would have loved if they were more frantic and fast-paced. I'm not sure if you've played the older WarioWare games, but they might serve as good inspiration for 5-second microgames :)

This game was kind of fun! I see what you were going for. It was a bit difficult to play, took me a while to figure out how it works and where exactly the collision boxes are.

With some polish I think it could turn into something really fun.

@koolruz My plan was that most "things" you do, was a little minigame, like a minigame to plant the seeds, other to water them.

@ioana Thanks, the collision are pretty weird, I did wanted to add an in game tutorial, but just didn't have time!

I really liked the collection of minigames involved in all the tasks! The controls threw me for a bit, some parts felt like they should accept clicks and didn't, and others vice versa, but nothing that threw me for too long. I had a chill time playing, and you did a great job, especially for 24h! Solid entry!

Yep, that's a farming game. You missed spacebar is jump in the instructions. The requests coming in too quickly and getting overwhelmed is pretty much the core of the formula, I guess spending money on upgrades too, but it just being a highscore is fine too.

@nathmate Yeah, I should've added the space bar instruction. In this 24h, I just tried to get the core done, I did want to add upgrades and other stuff, my idea was that you needed to unlock other seeds and plantation boxes, also, getting more upgrades such plant yield, but had to scrap everything.

Awesome, your game is magnificent! I had a blast playing it, really cool stuff!

The best aim trainer ever, but on a farm haha

The control instructions were confusing; I kept trying to approach the mailbox by pressing W, thinking the cube should move up, but nothing happened. After that, I started trying other buttons and finally figured out that you have to jump (even though the controls don’t mention this at all). Over time, the game becomes impossible to complete. I’d have liked to see some improvements to the farm, but since this game was made in 24 hours, it’d be a shame to complain. There’s also a small bug with the pump—you can’t see the main part of it. ✌️ Снимок экрана 2026-10-20 112445.png Снимок экрана 2026-10-20 113208.png

Solid jam experience! The mechanics are simple, intuitive, and fun to mess around with. Great execution for 72 hours! Left my ratings. Would appreciate your feedback on our game too if you have time!

jathurshandev 2026-10-20 11:34 ♥ 1

It's hard to make something good in 24h, but your main gameplay loop is here.

I like the effort you put into having to move the handle of the water pump.

I guess the money could be used to have powerups ? Like increased speed, making double the haversts.

Good game for something made in 24 hours !

freamdev 2026-10-20 11:34 ♥ 1

Took me about 20 second to figure out this is not a click to play game when I accidentally moved my character with the keyboard, maybe I should read before starting games.

I like where you were going with this, I think it needed bit more polish but I do enjoy the little busy works on each station. Maybe a notepad would have been nice so I can see the current orders always because I easily forget things.

neeko69 2026-10-20 15:20 ♥ 1

@ernar I totally forgot that some games allow to jump with W. I couldn't make the game fully balanced and the diff increase way to fast. As for the water pump minigame, that's the design I went, as I didn't had time to actually add more detail to it.

neeko69 2026-10-20 15:22 ♥ 0

@jathurshandev Yeah, I had to scrap the powerups/ upgrades.

hammeredzombie 2026-10-20 19:42 ♥ 1

i liked this game except that picking up a harvest while holding one destroys it. thats a major bug in my opinion, feels like the game cheated me. my hard earned harvest destroyed with no warning for trying to hold multiple things. otherwise nice work!

fancyreckless 2026-10-20 19:56 ♥ 1

Graphic look simple and you're missing a proper player sprite, but they're very authentic and unique. And they do communicate what they need pretty well. I don't think I seen much platformer farming games and this one had elegant simplicity about it and good scope management. with some improvements I think that could be neat game to try to make bigger and implement a full version.

tenthousandfireants 2026-10-20 20:08 ♥ 1

I liked the ease of play, the only pain point was how much time I had to grow cabbage and sell it, before it asked for onions. but lots of ways to pla y it, good replayability, im gonna try different ways later to see how well i do next time!

neeko69 2026-10-20 22:13 ♥ 0

@hammeredzombie Damn, how did I not found this bug?? If I ever come to "polish" this project more, I will 100% fix that.

neeko69 2026-10-20 22:14 ♥ 0

@fancyreckless Yeah, I didn't had time to make an player sprite, I also didn't know what to draw and I'm very bad at drawing characters, so I just left as is... But regardless, thanks for the feedback!

fireslash 2026-10-20 22:32 ♥ 1

I can certainly see where this was going, but the current iteration has a lot of rough edges. For a 24h game it's pretty solid though.

the biggest annoyance for me is the watering can, but it's pretty clear time limitations reared their head.

Nice work!

bigtex 2026-10-21 13:56 ♥ 1

the game is very hard. i like that just by looking at the screen you can pretty easily intuit the function and use of most things. i cant exspress to you how much using the water bucket on the pump with the mouse made me smile because the first thing i tried worked.Screenshot 2026-10-21 065153.png i do wish you could submit veggies you are holding with the included stock.

kredit 2026-10-21 14:33 ♥ 1

A bit confusing at the start, I had to intuit what to do and where the player was cause I didn´t expected to be a square jaja. But nice game to be made in 24h. Nice job!

It was confusing to understand what to do, but the fart sounds are great lol. Congrats for the entry!

I love these types of games, i thought the concept and the mechanics were very good. I did find it quite difficult to play, though, as orders expired very quickly and it took a long time to harvest the crops one by one. It might improve the gameplay if all the crops could be harvested with a single click. It would also be great if harvesting yielded a random quantity of produce, or if certain events could affect the crops, things like that xD. For 24hs of work this is a fantastic result! I would definitely love to see the game with more polished art and sound to make it more visually appealing, that would help enhance the gameplay and give the game a clear direction and character. Great job! Congratulations! Sin título.jpg

div00 2026-10-21 17:55 ♥ 1

A farming loop of small chores with requests that keep expiring is a neat idea, and it gets stressful in a good way when you juggle the watering and the harvesting. Collision and the controls feel a bit rough, but for 24 hours this is a solid base. A short in-game tutorial would help a lot.

pikakimi 2026-10-21 20:25 ♥ 1

I feel like it is a decent game for just 24 hours! Maybe next time add a little Tutorial! I know u already typed it into the description but I think you could achieve so much more with a tutorial! And maybe some more time :D

bay-l 2026-10-21 21:49 ♥ 1

This is such a game jam game, I love it! I had great fun playing it. A nice work in 24 hours.

mineiwik 2026-10-22 07:28 ♥ 1

I like this entry a lot, well done!

alchemic 2026-10-22 07:47 ♥ 1

Without the ability to multitask, it feels quite difficult to complete any order at all. I found myself just stockpiling cabbages and ignoring other orders. It would be nice if, for example, the water bucket could be used to water several crops at once, and if the crops took time to grow so I'd need more than just one plot.

Great job given the time constraint though!

azahara 2026-10-22 14:29 ♥ 1

I was a bit confused at first, and it took me a while to get used to the colliders, but it was fun! Not bad at all for just 24 hours of work!

jahuth 2026-10-22 19:30 ♥ 1

The art is adorable! The difficulty is pretty steep and I got tripped up that picking up an onion when you already carry an onion doesn't mean you then carry two onions. You scammed me out of an onion! 😉 But very nice for the time pressure!

kryakikrya 2026-10-22 19:31 ♥ 1

The core is cool. I always love the games that come with several different minigames within a jam. I wasn't quite sure what I could spend the money on. It would be cool to buy something like a dash or "+10 seconds to complete an order." on it.

cyanroke 2026-10-23 21:02 ♥ 1

I got into the flow of the game fairly quickly, even though rough it is still very enjoyable. The only real issue is that the difficulty spikes way too fast. Still good job getting this together in just 24 hours! The art is nice too.

skeyven 2026-10-24 09:35 ♥ 0

I got stuck on the screen where you have to fill a bucket with water (and I can see I’m not the only one). The mechanics seem fun, but I didn’t really get how the game ties into the jam theme. Снимок экрана 2026-10-24 123431.png

jhonny111 2026-10-24 11:20 ♥ 0

I took a minute to underrstand the controlls, but then it was really fun.

neeko69 2026-10-24 16:42 ♥ 1

@skeyven I basically tried make the player feel they owned an farm in "old days" with no electricity. But I agree, the water pump needs a better guide on how to use it.

loveapplegames 2026-10-24 18:45 ♥ 1

Congrats on your entry! Good fun for awhile. I found the controls pretty intuitive. At some point way too many orders came in, is it even possible to service them all?

neeko69 2026-10-24 19:17 ♥ 1

@loveapplegames No, I didn't had time to fully balanced everything.

skeyven 2026-10-24 21:04 ♥ 1

@neeko69 I think the main problem with this pump right now is that it’s not clear how to close the screen. That makes you suspect the game has frozen or something. So even if it wasn’t clear how to use it, simply being able to close the screen and keep moving around would make it obvious that you’re just doing something wrong.

Love the art, I think I’ve already mentioned that, but I just felt like saying it again :)

[Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2909614359?t=03h33m19s)

Pretty impressive for 24 hours! I'd say the core of this idea's got legs. Just needs a little balance. 👀
