It took me a second to understand how to play the game (despite your nice tutorial), but once I got into it was was pretty sucked in! I'm not the best typist so trying to keep up was stressful but that was definitely part of the fun of it. Really nice work and application of the theme!

Probably one of the coolest games I've played yet! Really cool to see a typing game pop up in one of these jams, especially a 48 hour one!
It took me a second to realize I needed to type to select a tool, I guess I was too focused on smashing my fingers into my keyboard for each of the furrows.
This is an amazing game. Really surprising and stressful. Thanks for the submission.
The mechanic of the customers was not clear to me on my first play. I read the description but was not bringing the two together :-)
Really great work combining two completely unrelated genres! I had a lot of fun trying to juggle all my plants and the typing made it feel incredibly hectic. It took me a little time to understand I could type to select plants/tools but other than that it was all very clear. I like how you added the "recipe" element so you have to plan ahead how many of each plant you'll need. You executed this concept wonderfully :)
I wish I had this game when I was learning how to type as a kid. Great job of picking a solid concept and executing very well. I thought the visuals and music worked well together, and you nailed the theme. Really well done!
