Presentation could use a bit of improvement as others have said, but his was charming and funny. Good job!

Loved the idea of farming people! Really fun to play only thing I can think of is that the music loop is a bit short. Other than that I enjoyed the game a lot!

Developer

thanks...:)

Really liked the game, so much things to do, hope you continue to update it.

Really good. I think the only feedback left (that others already didn't mentioned) is some ui work.

Those slots locked to a specific item shouldn't be together (or look the same) as the overall storage. The watering can and water level slot could be merged into one i think

Developer

Yeah I had that thought as well. Time to brush up on some visual design. Good to hear!

Planting and farming boyfriends? Come one, I loved it hahahahaha I was pissed with the imps stealing me everytime, but I really enjoyed the game

Developer

Thanks...:)

This game was really funny to me once I realized I was farming people. I also made a wall of rocks to block the imps and beat the game! lol

I love that some people thought to try that!!! It makes me so happy.:)

This game is super cute, I really like the music and sfx. I really like the concept.

I think I had a bug where the magician always said I didn't have enough coins (I was at 650~) and I couldn't go back and check how much he actually wanted. Either way the game was probably a tiny bit too grindy although I did get enjoyment out of figuring out the best farming patterns.

Overall a really unique game and quite a bit of fun :)

Developer

oh shoot! good catch on the magician thing! Thank you.:)

Also I think I managed to lose an orange tree seed on the water square behind the girl in the top right, and the tile became/is unwalkable.

Developer

ah shoot. Thanks for letting me know!

I will definitely come back to this game. Is there an ending I should expect? I always wanted to make a farming simulator and now I have the motivation as I see you managed to do it in a week. 

The concept is fun, if the graphics would be slightly better (I love the characters, however the environment in my opinion could be slightly improved) + if there would a bit more of things to do then this definitely could be a commercial game :).

Developer

Aw yeah, I wanted to add so much more, but the limitation for this jam was sooo challenging for me and the person I worked with! Fitting all the art onto one 128x128 spritesheet?! Yikes! 

Thanks for playing it though! And heck yeah you could make a farming game(X

I didn't expect to get boyfriend from fishing and farming, nice concept XD
I also love how boyfriend get old after some time
The controls also easy to understand, except for the glove because to use them you don't have to click the glove icon like the other tools. But, it's still easy to use.
Btw, does the Love Magician gives some effects after you buy them? or is it just following you around?

Developer(+1)

Ah yeah, I had that thought about the gloves too. Darn! Shouldn't have overlooked that. The love magician just follows you around. We were struggling to come up with a real ending that wouldn't break the feel of a farming game. TLDR; he just follows you around.:)
