How does your game fit the theme?
You have to tend to a magical farm in between the storms.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I made all the code from scratch, but not the assets.

The models are cute, I like the vibe! I didn't quite understand what to do with the crops after I harvested them. I brought them to the statue and that seemed to refill the bar at the bottom but I also discovered I can manipulate the bar with my mouse myself. Other than that good work!
Hello! The game unfortunately came out half-baked due to time limit. But I will (hopefully) address the issues you talked about in an after-jam patch. Thank you for your feedback!
Nice concept, and the lightnings were cool! It was weird to me that I needed to water the crops during the rainstorm. I also wasn't clear on when the crops were done, they didn't seem to be ready yet, but they stuck in the same stage for ages.
Hey! My first plan was to make the water in the buckets "enchanted" but I couldn't add the shader on time. I will hopefully address that and make crop growth more visual in an after-jam patch. Thank you for your feedback!
Nice lightning effect! I don't understand why I have to put water in the terrain since it is raining...ahahah but cool idea for the game!
Haha! I was trying to make the water "enchanted" with a shader but wasn't able to add it on time. Thank you for playing!
Really nice lightning effects! I love the adorable character you get to run around with!
I noticed the lightning didn’t always kill me when it hit—was that intentional? Also, is the time between lightning strikes random? After a while, it felt like the strikes were happening at the same intervals, so I could predict when they were coming.
I really enjoyed the farming part! It was kind of funny to see my crops get flooded, but I still had to water them.
Thank you! Lightning is kinda buggy right now. There seems to be an error with the way how I handled the scripts. I think I fixed it completely, but I can't update the game files right now so it should wait for an after-jam patch.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. You rock! :)
Nice game, got a cute style. I didn't really need to hide in the tent but enjoyed running around and tending to the crops. It didn't feel tedious either, i felt like i was always doing something.
Hey! I tried to make it a bit fast-paced. An after-jam patch will hopefully fix the storm. Thank you for playing!
I think the crops mechanic, watering, etc. is working pretty well and it's pretty fun to play, nice job on the game!
Thank you!
Outstanding! Every aspect of this game feels polished and well thought-out. From the engaging gameplay to the beautiful design
Thank you for your kind words!
Cute game! Took a while to get used to the gameplay but once you get in the swing of things you enter a bit of a flow state dashing in and out of the tent tending to your crops. One small thing, it looks like the progress bar actually accepts mouse input right now so I was accidentally able to drag the progress bar left and right while playing. Good work!
Oh yeah, that's on me, haha :D I forgot to disable it's interactable state. Better yet, it's not just a visual thing. you can fill it with your mouse and just finish the game almost instantly.
Thank you for playing and for your feedback. You rock!
Love the sound effects and the art used! My only recommendation is to maybe make an indicator showing the player what crops they are currently carrying. Other than that, I like the simplicity of the game and the vibe it gives!
That's a good idea! I tried to cut many things to make this game's submission on time, having more visual clarity would definitely improve the experience.
Thank you for your feedback!
I liked the art style, it was very uniform and the map was cool to move around. It took a little bit to understand what order to use the tools and how to give items to the statue but I liked the gameplay overall.
It's my fault that I couldn't create a proper tutorial, but thank you for taking your time to understand the game!
Good game, Simple graphics but nicely executed. Filled the meter but didnt know what i should do after that will figure out in some time. But I still did escape the storm MY WAY(see the picture attatched) ;D
The music and audio is very well in line with the game just feels immersive.. Nice work!!
Also one bug (I think its a bug) is when I have no tools equipped I can get struck by lightning and not die. Let me know if its something already observed or I can replicate it again and share it here
Kudos for making a fun game!! :D
Ahah! That's a pretty valid way to escape :D
Thank you, and yes, I'm currently working on an after-jam patch and hopefully I'll be able to fix the problems you talked about before starting a new project. If I find time to do so, I could even add some extra content, but not doing any promises about that :D
(little note, somebody found out that you can interact with the harvest meter with your mouse. You can fill it easily and pray to the statue to see a little animation! :D)
Thank you again for your detailed review. People like you make this whole game-jam experience a lot better. You rock!
Got to see the happy dance!! And you successfully made me play the game once again ;D
Thanks for letting me know!!
loving the game, cute graphics. nice sound design great work!
Thank you for your kind words!
I loved the vibe and the way it fits the theme perfectly. The visuals, especially with the lightning effects, are really cool. It would be nice to see some scaling effects to better illustrate plant growth. Overall, well done—looking forward to more updates!
Hey! The scaling effect idea makes sense, I'll hopefully add it as a jam-patch since the game needs some fixing as well. Thank you for the feedback!
Nice farming game. I imagine you did not have the time to add an end (or there is a bug).
The visual are cool, with the lightning and growing water. Some simple scale would help see the plant growing.
It fit the theme. Well done.
Yup, that's a bug unfortunately. Thanks a lot for your feedback. I'll see if I can add some scaling as you suggested, sounds like a great idea. Since I already made the growth system, it makes sense to add onto it instead of changing it. Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Awesome vibe, also the gameplay. I really like the concept, it's very suit to the theme. Now, it's ur turn to try & rate us. Thank u ^_^
I'll give it a shot and rate it right now! Thank you too!
This is a really cool take on the theme, the gameplay was fun and getting struck by lightning was entertaining. Nice job!
Thank you so much!
I enjoyed the vibe of the game and I think you stuck to the theme well. I was a bit confused, even with the info in game things were not clear and I think the game suffered from that, but hey my game has the exact same issue haha. Great job on the loop though, quite fun!
Thank you for your kind words! I checked your game out too, its amazing!
Fun game. Fits the theme and I really like how each crop has different growing speed.
Thank you!
Cool game, I liked all the effects and the gameplay loop is quite nice, although my crops didn't seem to grow past what I'm assuming is the 2nd stage? Collecting them didn't do anything, and I did wait for a few minutes, if it takes longer than that I think it should be a shorter wait. Also, the bar at the bottom of the screen is interactable, just to let you know. Congrats on the submission!
Hello!
Due to time constraints and poor planning, I had to cut many essential parts of this game. The crops only have 2 stages. Freshly sown and grown up. Since I couldn't add proper UI and tooltips, I tried to give instructions on the game's description, which is not a good idea. I will try to fix them after the jam!
Thank you for playing it throughly and giving a long feedback. I appreciate it!
Fun to play Nice Game
Thank you!
