I am really bad at these kind of games, but I still find them very fun. I love all the experimentation that needs to take place in order to survive. Amulets.. they cost a lot.
teaching all the individual mechanics in an easy mode or tutorial would improve the main game loop experience as there will be less trial and error for the player if they have experienced the individual mechanics such as withering before getting into the game when it really matters.
I loved it though and had a very enjoyable time struggling to buy an amulet on twitch.
Sorry for the late reply, but I want to thank your Feedback! You're right, the amulets were too expensive and the game could really use a better tutorial. Unfortunately I ran out of time, but I learned to not make my games too difficult! Glad you enjoyed it though!
A UI-based harvesting game: great idea! Would've liked to have seen the tutorial integrated into the game itself since there's quite a bit going on functionality-wise, but very much appreciate the graphics and mechanics (the balance could be slightly tuned to be easier). Solid solo effort!
Sorry for the late reply! Thanks a lot for the feedback! A proper tutorial would have been a good idea but I sadly ran out of time to make one. Thanks a lot!
In-depth and thought out mechanics. Tough as nails difficulty. Very nice,
Sorry for the late reply! Glad you liked the challenge, altough I think I accidentally made the game unbeatable lol.
Great graphics! Audio would be nice. The game is kind of ruthless but that doesn't halt its enjoyability. Great game, well done!
