• The game has a strong gameplay loop which I love. It's well-paced to keep me on my toes in taking care of my plants and fending off enemies. I also like the idea of being able to gather help to protect your plants which incentivizes players to gather more Harvest Points to make their lives easier. The random modifiers you get from the wheel you spin is a great way to spice things up. The art of the game is charming and cute with a cohesive pastel=like palette. But the sprites of the enemies do feel off since their scaling isn't exactly uniform. Sometimes they would get stuck small and sometimes would get stuck big when I strike them with the axe. The UI and instructions confused me since there were no instructions on how to select tools so for my first few playthroughs I was stuck with the axe without knowing that I could use other tools via the numbers 1, 2, and 3 on my keyboard. I was stuck trying to press the tools on the bottom right with my cursor. Add more clarity to your game in terms of controls. The combat feels a bit awkward since you have to control a spinning equipment. I would have preferred if there were upgrades to the axe like having two axes at the same time or having a faster rotation. Or maybe you can just opt for a normal attack button to attack in the direction of the cursor. The enemies when struck by the axes get knocked back very far sometimes and that makes combat a bit unsatisfying. The audio adds a lot to the atmosphere of the game but be careful with the audio that you use. I believe the music that you've used were from Animal Crossing which is a property of Nintendo and Nintendo tends to be very protective with their Intellectual Properties. Overall, I really love your game and I want to see it developed more as I see a lot of potential. with it.
• Lots of potential to be fun since it takes its base in the farming roguelike genre, but keeps it within the cozy aesthetic. Wish there was more context since gameplay feels a little disjointed from its setting. Combat feels clunky and unsatisfying but understandable. Game is too forgiving, there should be consequences for using the wrong tool. (weapons will destroy crops) Spinning watering can is also kinda goofy haha
