How does your game fit the theme?
The player's control of plants in this farming simulator is limited by the console, and the goal of the game is to tip the climate into a positive feedback loop to submerge the planet by sacrificing your harvest to the rain spirit.

The presentation is great. The art looks good. The audio is nice and relaxing. One of the best games of this kind in the jam. You did an excellent job :)
Yo’, LFJ Templar here, I really liked the game, both presentation and originality as this is the first time I see something like this related to farming.
There seems to be a bug with the history of the console, when I press up instead of going through the commands I typed, it went with everything in the console including outputs, and that’s awkward for a more fluid gameplay.
I also can’t quite see how it fits into the theme of the jam, It’s a good game nonetheless.
Very nice twist of the farming idea, also with the graphics and music, it's quite relaxing to play. Well done!
Incredible game, loved it so much! Beautiful art and music, very atmospheric
This is so soothing. I'm not sure it totally fits the theme but everything else is so carefully cratfed and thought. Really like the terminal vibe even though I was expecting "up" to bring the last command and not the last string.
Perfect guitar track for the experience you provided.
Calm/5
Wow, the music and sounds were beautiful. So calming despite being a game about trying to drown everyone on earth. This had a lot more depth to it than I originally expected when I started playing. Great job!
Nice design and gameplay!
Neat, well executed idea and a great aesthetic.
Great atmosphere
Cool entry! I liked the "console" experience! :D
a very cute game! i literally did not notice that i had spent like 20 minutes playing it :D very relaxing, great music and great atmosphere! I absolutely adore this game :D
Very pretty, moody and atmospheric. Loved it. I also liked the ability to copy last command by pressing up (just like in a real console!).
Nice mood indeed, the aestethic are well done
Love it, I wish you could write feed all. Really chill experience, the music and graphics are great, and I love that you can press up to copy a previous command, although it should only do it with your commands lol.
Amazing aestethic and audio. Love the pixel art! Who drew it? I could use some tips haha.
This is great, it gets a little repetetive but that's fine.
it's hard to describe just how chill this is, makes me want to fall asleep to rain.
My favorite so far, love art, music and gameplay. Good job!
