How does the game fit the theme?
Since the theme is Nothing Can Go Wrong, our game takes place in a world that has been at peace for 1000 years. This has made the heroes of the time, complacent. Therefore, in their arrogance they have ventured without items!
Thinking "Nothing can go wrong!"
Now it's up to you, a humble Apothecary and your medicinal herbs, fix all the things that have gone wrong.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Main character and farming/gems sprites. Music and sound effects

Cool game with very very unique and intriguing concepts. My problem is that when I go to fight, I haven't even used any flowers yet and suddenly my game ends saying I won already. My guess is to cure the blindness and then use herb to help, which is amazing concepts but the fight might need some rework. Anyway great work.

Very Lovely

What a charming game! I always love when a game lets you play as one of the background character, in this the case the humble apothecary! The gameplay loop is simple but has the satisfying feeling of a clicker game.
 
And although it's quite simple, the game has some depth, notably the choice whether to sell your crops to get money to buy more seeds or to give those crops to the heroes for points.

Overall this was a great experience! Good Job!

Unique take, was hard for me to figure out what to do but I love the sense of urgency :) Good game!

Very charming and engaging game, I'd love to see this fleshed out into a full scale experience! The one thing I would change is having greater indication when your heroes are in need of assistance but I thought it was very well made!

I didn't expect much at first, but this game completely surprised me! One of the most creative games I've seen in the Jam so far. Truly impressive!

This was super fun to play. Nice spin on a farming game.

The beginning reminded me of viva la dirt video xD Am I playing Greg? Leaderbord is cool feature, ANNA is killing it.

Adding tool access with 1,2,3, ..., 9 would be great (ㅅ´ ˘ `)

Also different tools feels like just upgraded shovel for now ( ◡̀_◡́)ᕤ may make it multitool and just replace?

cool game, loved music taste ;)

Cool concept and use of the theme. Definitely textbox  tutorial information while the game runs in the background was overwhelming on the first attempt. But other than that a good game.

Cute game, it is kind of addictive :)

I like how the theme gets introduced xD

I really like it! Great concept, the only real feedback I have right now is that the menu is a little cramped and I'm old and blind. I'd love to see this fleshed out into a more finished game though, it's right up my alley!

really cool concept. i think the hit sound for the fight is a bit annoying constantly going off while doing the gardening stuff though. all the art looks really nice.

Nice game that could expand and gameplay. i feel like you did a nice job!

I was very confused with the controls, and the sound that plays on each "tick" of the day is not doing anything good for the game, I think.

However, I really do think the game would be fun, if there was a proper introduction to the mechanics. The farming aspects is quite interesting, and battling sounds fun, but I couldn't figure out how to actually start a fight. And, as the day "ended" it just kept being dark, and kept ticking, but nothing happened.

My daughter really liked the cat character, tho!

Hey, thanks for playing our game. I agree, we should of explained the mechanics a bit better.  Basically, it's a farming game with an autobattler and the ticking you heard was actually the sounds of the battle going on (it starts when the level loads but you can only see it in the pause menu). You can interact with it by opening up the 'Fight' tab in the pause menu, there you can turn the tides of the battle by using the special effects of the crops you planted.

Glad your daughter liked the cat character :D we wanted to add some charm!

Ahhh I see. Good job - it's a nice idea that you can boost the battle with the crops you make. Gg!
