I love this one. I thought I would play a nice little cosy gardening game with occasional upgrades to build more and better stuff more quickly but the end game caught me off guard and I laughed out loud. Good job on the art and sound, the game looks polished.

Cute game and arts! Perhaps it gets somewhat boring without more incentives, but great job for a game jam nonetheless.

This is a cute little game, I think this could be a really enjoyable mobile game because its so simple but also has some decision making aspects to make it more interesting. Really cute game, great job!!

I don't usually enjoy cozy games, but this one had me hooked. Loved it! And really cute style

Submitted

Really cozy game with nice art! Only complaint I've got aside from the already listed bugs is that I'd sometimes accidentally use the carried item when I was moving and my cursor happened to drag across a field, but otherwise I've had a nice playthrough.

Woow, awesome pixel art style and color palette! Really creative take on the theme! Awesome job!

Cool game idea!

I really liked the throwing ability (and of course the ending)!

This was cute! The music is fun and it's a simple little game. 

I would recommend a secondary way to make money as you can run out if you buy the shoes at 10 and get stuck without money. 

Good job! I liked the bean boss

Thanks for playing the game.
There is a backup plan for the money. If you have 0 money and no plants then the first plant is free :)

An interesting, relaxing and fun little game. I especially love the twist at the end. Great music and okay visuals. Overall a good jam game. Well done.

Thank you for playing and your feedback <3

Really cozy game, with a progression loop that was really satisfying!

Developer

Glad you liked the progression loop. Thanks for playing!

Nice atmosphere! It really reminded me of Stardew Valley and I was able to enjoy it a lot. It does have a few balancing/QoL issues (e.g. holding the mouse down for the whole game is painful, the boss fight) but the game was still fun nonetheless!

Developer

Thanks for the honest feedback. I do agree with your opinion. I should have picked another movement option. Thank you for playing <3
