  • Nice game! It plays into the theme well and at the same time is fun to play (I may be biased because I love garden sims.) This holds a lot of potential keep building on this!

Love the design of the main character. Also there was a lot of effort put into the systems of this game, there was so many craftables! I had a bit of trouble figuring out how/if I could make money though.

Thanks for playing! Yeah, we noticed near the end that the crafting wasn't clear enough and would require some more balancing and UI work to feel less complicated - like unlocking recipes only after gathering an item and clearly displaying what you can craft. Or maybe even limiting the number of stations at the start.

About selling - there is a bug that makes the inventory window inside the shop disappear after first interact with the shop. Which I didn't caught before the end of the jam :/

Hi Pathkendle!

Thanks for your kind words and for playing our game. As it happens, I found a way around the shop problem today - it's not a permanent solution, but it should suffice until we can fix it after the game jam.

The way around the shop bug:

at the very beginning of the game, buy the single cheapest seed and keep it in your inventory throughout the game - don't sell it or plant it. ;)
