i couldnt find the thing that looked like beetroot i think that manly cuz i am not good at the game but i like the astethic of the game nice stuff.
Thank you for your purchase "send a comment"! Your support is very important to us!
Yes, many people have a problem with beets. You need to plant seeds and grow beets. The seeds are in your bar at the bottom of the screen in cell 5.
Totally unexpected lol, it was super fun! Loved the voice acting.

This is an interesting entry. I think it could use some tweaks but it’s very meta. Is there something supposed to happen after “life of game not found” message? Tweaks: beets take too long to spawn, I left them for the end and it I was just waiting. Second level, it took forever to get the red potion. Third level, maybe some progress bar to indicate that something is happening? I was ready to give up. Also, I didn’t get to see whats in the screenshots, not sure how it relates to “decay”.

No. After the black screen with the “error” there should be nothing.
Yes, I think it was worth reducing the growth time of the beets.
At level 3 I left a message "wait 20 seconds", which is also too long, I think.
I didn't figure out how to show how I interpreted my theme in screenshots.
This was the first game where I focused on narrative, so yes, there are a lot of things that need to be done better in the future.
I appreciated the message of the game lol, and it was all put together really nicely, I never felt confused about what to do next.

Loved this. The RNG box was frustrating but that is what made it so beautiful, it took me like 5 minutes to get all the items lol. Great ending too, needed help getting the beetroot but when I realised I could plant seeds and water them I got those babies growing.
Really Good stuff

I usually try to make tutorials for all games, but due to lack of time I decided not to. I didn’t think there would be such a problem with beets.
During the test, there was also this issue with the RNG, but I decided to leave it as is, taking into account the idea of the game.
Damn, really good game, the art is superb and you have a good sense of humor. I would love to play a full game drawn in this art style, really good!

The visual was not drawn by me, there is a link to the author in the game description, but the art is really cute, I even wanted to make a clone of Stardew Valley.
Thank you for appreciating the humor, I was worried about the low level of English and the rather...scattered narrative.
Ah, that's all right, art style isn't all that important dont worry, your story telling is gonna get you somewhere!
Thank! I joined the jam to practice and improve my skill in narrative design.
Hehe, loved the story, it was very funy ^o^
And the gameply was prety refined with great feed back and sound design, this could actualy be a solid full game on its own, well done (° ~ °)
Graphics were also super cute >////<
5/5 for me :3

Thank you for such a high rating! :)
I tried to make the first level as high quality as possible, so that on the next (7 planned) the quality would gradually decrease, including in the details. So I tried to do all the little things.
Really cool concept! Could also be called "EA simulator" hah
Love those graphics (in the first "level") and also the stardew valley reference
Thank you for your purchase "send a comment"!
I even recorded a greeting line where I called my game "NOT Stardew Valley", but it turned out badly.
The game is funny and love how you interpreted the theme here. Great Job!
Thank you for your purchase "send a comment"!
I feel like game jam games are often very focused on the mechanics of the game and less so on the story or message. This game proves that wanting to say something can really elevate the player experience, even if the gameplay is short or simple. Great job!
Thank. I wanted to practice narrative because I feel like my skill at it is low.
Really funny, love the spin you took on decay lol.

Pretty cool game

When the developers prefer quantity over quality... (it's a joke lol, you'll get it)
I kinda understand the meaning in this game lol, can tell from experience :)

Had a black screen and couldn't finish :(
If you saw it before level 4:
If you get a black screen after digging beets, try enabling/disabling hardware acceleration in your browser settings.
The art style is beautiful and I liked being able to farm the different resources. I think the take on the decay theme is interesting and would have loved to see what you could have done with some more time 😀
Thank you for rating the game! If I had more time, I would try to make a story of 7 levels and so that the narrator would give not phrases, but a quality monologue.
is this the true ending? or do I need to buy a season pass?
honestly I was between ok this is a cool joke and some trash asset mish mash (it was very clearly a joke, not an asset flip after playing for a while)
appreciate the meta commentary you got going on with this
my only critique is that the first part could have one or two item types less maybe…
and I see the people commenting about not finding the beats, that’s so obvious, hard to know what to explain or not in games
also much respect for adding voice
In my understanding, the game tells the story of a trash game developer who just made a really good game but made unnecessary game sequels only for profit and prefers releasing the game asap for their fans. However, it may lead to bad quality of the gameplay and has potential major bugs, especially the error ending, causing the fans to become haters.
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, the ending is almost real, for the real one you need to download the game and run it. The idea was in a story about the decline of the game, but there was no specific idea on how to implement it. I saw an asset pack and decided to make one based on it. I didn’t manage to do a lot and I think I told the story poorly. I've been thinking about voice acting for my games for a long time, so I decided to give it a try. I understand that the quality of the voice acting is poor, but I have come to the conclusion that it is always better with it than without it.
Забавный проект , улыбнул момент темы с DLC . Хоть я не все понимал что произносит диктор (плохо с английским) проходится все интуитивно...
Thank you for your purchase "send a comment"! Your support is very important to us!
Huh... it seems there's a bug... Error 404... lol
Very nice idea for the theme.
The Legendary Thrash is kinda broken... nerf pls
Thank you for your purchase "send a comment"! Your support is very important to us! We removed all legendary trash, in return you got legendary trash 2.0
im not gonna rate this, but i didn't find the red raddish
You need to plant the raddish lol
Thanks for trying!
In the bar at the bottom of the screen there are seeds in cell 5. They need to be planted, grown and harvested. There are many messages that there is a problem in this place and I will think about how to avoid this mistake in the future.
I like the idea of a game that is able to comment on the state of the gaming industry, and I feel like a lot of the core points of this game were pretty spot on - how it feels like each new release by major publishers feel less refined and full of heart than they did last time, how less effort seems to be put in each release, how parts of games are often gated behind pointless microtransactions, gambling, or DLC, etc... However, it feels like a lot of the execution of this game could have been pulled off a bit better? Chalk it up to being a jam game, but I digress. A proper tutorial would have been nice, an explanation of the "goals" system, and maybe a bit more of a cohesive story would be things I would focus on improving in a possible post-jam version. Regardless, I still had a pretty fair time playing through this one! Congratulations on finishing :)
Thank you for playing my game, after sleep I’ll definitely play yours too! You can definitely always do better, but many ideas are broken by the desire to implement everything and lack of time. I was worried about the consistency of the theme and humor, but apparently in vain.
