The game looks very impressive visually, but I think it's missing some tactile feedback when the player uses different items to ensure that he knows whether his actions are having any effect. I also struggled to figure out how I was supposed to get different music notes from the plants.

How does your game fit the theme?
Ganga the alligator, together with her robotic drone Sprinkly, built a fantastical garden where they grow a wild array of junk to be harvested for their musical potential! Spaceships the size of a tin can, tin cans the size of a beheamoth and a beheamoth, well, commissioning a bouncy diddy for their morning jog! Musical scales for a robot, magic spells for an occult kitty, and all sorts of strange timbres determined by the scale of the "plants."

thank you so much for your comment && feedback !!
we definitely want to include a hard tutorial - because it seems like a lot of people are confused on how the game works, unfortunately. but we didnt have time. i saw your comment about the settings button LOL - thats 100% planned to add in, with settings to up/downscale the UI, music settings, etc. we have assets drawn just didnt manage time for such! the tuning fork DOES nothing, youre right. :(
a few people are commenting on the explode noise - we will probably ask our musician to revise the audio for that!
ideally, this is how the game would play: you grow your plants, and they change notes throughout their grow phase. you could harvest them into a 'crops' drown down, where you could then drag and drop them into the music menu to rearrange music, finally submitting, and prompting more dialogue into more orders, with scaling difficulty introducing more and more types of musical notes & arrangements!
thisll be updated post-jam if youd like to give it another go then when mechanics are finished up and bugs are fixed/whatnot! :>
thank you so much for your indepth feedback! unfortunately, we didnt have enough time to do everything, but ideally:
you could test a plants note with the tuning fork, and harvest into a drop down menu. you could then click and add them to the music tab, rearrange, and submit to complete customer orders. we have about 4 (?) npcs to cycle through right now. some planned ideas are more npcs, more complex music orders, a sandbox mode to make your own game, and more! we are actually currently working on coding further to put out a more polished version when the jams over.
but thank you SO much, we will definitely take note of everything you note (haha ... note.) and make adjustments!
