Super good. The game had a strong core mechanic, and i am finding it lowkey addicting. Who knew demons made for such great gardeners. I also want to give credit for having a game that was really easy to grasp. It did not take me long to understand the game, but it took me a good few tries to optimize me use of the different abilities. As far as presentation goes, it is also excellent. The game is very readable and clear, and very pretty. I honestly do not have a ton of feedback, as everything that was presented was very polished. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for this wholesome feedback! Glad you found it easy to grasp, there're some missing feedbacks in game that we didn't have time to implement ; good to know that it's still understandable.
Thank you for playing!
The Game Is Quiet Fun And Challenging! The Art Is Cute And I Love The Main Concept!
Quite a fun concept! could use a few more things to do, but overally its quite nicely polished :)
OMG this was so cool! i loved the art! amazing job guys, really impressive.
Very nice game! I feel it gets a bit repetitive as you only have 3 abilities that just change shape, but there's a lot of room for strategy. The leaderboard is a nice addition
Damn, super impressive! I'll have to circle back around on this one to see if I can crack the leaderboard.
Extremely polished, stylish, and delightful narrative! I was smiling through finding the page and the introductory content.
My only thought, if you're interested in making this into a full game -
I actually expected the boss to be able to freely move, and was a little disappointed when I found out I had to attack to move. I think the premise alone - boss monster abilities to do farming - and your visuals, UI, and animations for the abilities were already so rock-solid that you didn't need the extra dimension of complexity (movement-based abilities on a fixed grid). I wonder how this would feel as more of a twin-stick type movement, free-controls type of thing, where you could lumber around an arena planting crops with abilities, and maybe have pests that you bash in the process? But just an idea, maybe not in your original vision.
Nicely done overall!
Thanks for the comment and feedback, glad it made you smile!
I get what you say. Not giving afree movement to the boss was a design choice to try to emphasize on the fact that he is clumsy, and even if he wants to farm at the best of his abilities, his "evil boss habits" kick back everytime. And yeah, pests were planned, but time wouldn't allow us to implement them! Free-controls would probably favor a more action-ish game, whereas we tried to lean towards a "puzzle" approach, if you get what I mean.
unbelievable how you managed to get something this good done so quickly, I can't see you not at least getting top 10 with this. Amazing job! I adore the concept too, finally an evil farming game for me!
Very interesting concept, visually appealing, well done.
Well done! It seems like a lot of time went into the design and the related systems. Art looks pretty good as well. Simple to understand even from the first time playing. ;)
I absolutely love the art style. It took me a while to get used to the mechanics, and how to best utilize my abilities to move me into positions where I can harvest seeds without destroying too much. Really nice game!
Great concept, awesome artstyle, and amazing soundtrack! I am surprised at how well-polished it is for a 48 hour jam. My one and only complaint is that it feels like many of the abilities don't synergize well with each other. Otherwise, this is an amazing submission. Nice game!
Thanks a lot for this heartwarming comment !
The fact that abilities synergise poorly is actually wanted : you are a huge brute trying to do subtle things with tools not made for the job, so we wanted the player to actually need a lot of caution to not destroy everything. I agree it might be frustrating at first, but I can tell I had a lot of fun getting better at it when playtesting.
Makes sense. Goes to show how well thought-out everything is in this game, lol
So cool congratulation great game
A turn-based farming game! What a creative idea I love it!! Very creative and the visuals are quite stunning, making such 3d effects is a lot of work and I'm amazed that you were able to make such a polished and complete game in this short time frame. Good luck with the jam, I feel like you really have a strong entry here!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed the game!
The farm did not stand a chance! ';..;'
You are hell of a good farmer!
Absolutely slappin music and the art and effects are great! Really interesting to see an aggressive farming game, a huge slap to the face of the "cozy farming sim" abundance haha. Great submission!
Big fan of the art and general vibe. Super impressive for such a short jam!
All the assets, sounds, and music fit so well together and also look really pretty! The only complaint in this aspect is that the animations and effects take a bit too long.
The planting gameplay is fun and tricky, although there are a few abilities that felt a bit underpowered.
The whole story and theming are super fun and funny but I wished there were some other way to tell it rather than a huge text box at the beginning of each playthrough.

Firstly, hilarious concept.. it took me a second to get it but it kept making me laugh that you are like satan doing something mundane as farming. Secondly, wow, this feels so complete and polished. Really really well done!
Please do checkout our little game Switcheroo as well :)
Thank you for the kind words, glad you like it! I'll try yours :)
