Nice little game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Low Rez Jam games, if you would like to take a look :)

Really enjoyed this game. I do find getting the cursor onto an adjacent square quite difficult.

I assume there is some sort of rounding, because it likes to skip a square if I am near or barely on a tile.

You have a lot of space which could have been used for a larger font, which would make reading a little easier.

As a player of Stardew Valley, I found the mechanics quite easy to pick up, though.

The map is quite large, and it is currently hard to tell which buildings are which. Spent ages searching for a shop to get more seeds.

I'd love to see where this goes, though. keep it up!

@adam4813 Sorry about that, I didn't realize it was an issue and has now been fixed.

Loved the day/night cycle. I wish you had locked the arrow keys to allow moving with them as wasd plus e every step gets a little tough on the hand.

Difficult to get, and way too much walking, but the world is cute and the day-night cycle feels great

Yeah it's really not very clear what to do, and the map is way to big for the content in it. Also, I went into the barn and straight up and ended up on the cliff I don't think I was meant to be on... >.<

The graphics and audio are good though, just needs more explaination and more concise level design.

Nice little game after you figure it out. It's not so self explanatory, some instructions would have been nice. it's hard to read the text, fonts could be larger. Needs some work, but it's fun.

@mhughson You should visit the store on the east side of town and sell your potato and buy more seeds. You can also talk with the shopkeep and the mayor.

Nice work Poohshoes! I struggled to figure out what I was supposed to do though. I planted a potatoe seed, it grew, I picked it (I think) and then...? Not sure what to do next :)

The game is not bad. I like farming game. But the mechanic are not quite good and the game need some explanation (more than a commands list). In addition, the small font doesn't help to understand the game.

There is a potential. But it needs more work, sadly :(.

Great low rez character and graphics!
