Hey! I like your game, it's pretty addictive and found myself sitting through playing the whole thing even though it takes a while. I think the biggest thing what was also mentioned before, is some more feedback on things! The plants could have a sparkle or something when they are ready for harvest, the ground tiles could get darker the more "watered" they are, and maybe some basic sounds when placing, clicking and harvesting could be nice. I also totally didnt notice/ forgot often about the whole beanstalk mechanic. Perhaps this could have been placed in the world somewhere more central so it visually remains the key focus? I could see where the pollution mechanic would have come in, shame it didn't make the cut! Overall, nice game it has potential! :)

Thank you so much for your very instructive comment, it's clear that when we finish the game we'll try to implement some of the things you said, it's true that it would work better. There are also a lot of things we thought of but couldn't implement because of time constraints, like pollution for example. We're going to do our best to make this game great, thank you so much for your feedback and for playing it!

Runs a bit slow but I like it! Would definitely see this as a chill and cozy game on steam. Love how we can see the plants growing. Made my morning with the chill bgm! Great Job!

Not bad! I love the style. It feels very satisfying to gather the plants that have been scaled up, although it takes a little while to get to that point. Once you are at a point where you have a lot of plants yielding you a lot of profit, it sort of becomes "How fast can you click all the plants". I do wish there was some small sound or color change on the mushroom or the carrot tiles to tell me they are ready for harvest, all the others are easy to tell, corn has corn, tomato have tomatoes, etc. It's hard to stay with it in the beginning since it takes a few minutes to get rolling, so early on it feels a little like watching corn grow.... hey wait...

Thank you so much for your very constructive feedback, it's true that the games are missing a lot of mechanics to make it more fluid, including tutorials and lots of other things. We agree with you 100% and we'd like to add more features to make it more interesting, and we won't give up on the game!

altough it's long to advance at first i really like the effort put into the game and the original idea of using the story of jack and the beanstalk as the base of this game
