Gameplay is outstanding fluid and complete - well done! It's a perfect example for how to scope a games mechanic just perfectly right for a given, short timeframe.
Same goes for UI and graphics - they are as consistent as the whole game loop. And having everything ready for mobile interactions is also a big pro!
Music is meh...
Haven't encountered any bugs, just some minor irritations: The Buttons for adding water or a glass house confused me - I was sure when clicking the "sun" icon some sort of heat will be added, same for the snowfalkes - supposed to add some cold. After first mistake, it was clear. Maybe change to a water drop and an icon for "cold protection" (a shield with a snowflake on it, maybe?).
It might be a good extra challenge if plants would die if their needs are not satisfied.
All in all really well done!
Last not least: "Carrots, anyone?!"
This was a solid core game loop with slick graphics. I liked the tutorial animation - it was simple, easy to interprest and effective. With additional challenges and upgrades, this could be a nice, chill mobile game!
Notes I took while playing:
music is ok, but a bit discordant
graphics are clean, font is exciting. Cloud next to march is clear indicator of weather. my instinct is to click the button, feels like there should be a popup here.
I like the coin icon
like the hand dragging tutorial
can't view shop if 0 gold. closing shop bar after hitting x takes a little bit too long
planted stuff, but told it's too hot. Can't undo or buy anything else. Flowers grew anyways.
animation showing +# beneath coins is laggy, it's showing up after i've bought from shop
I like the numbers under the plant pots showing how many months are left.
slideup shop ui covers next month button, which means I have to move my cursor left to hit x, wait for it to close and then move my cursor all the way right to click next month to advance month. Changing layout or adding that button to the shop menu would create less friction in UI
gameplay peters out once you get enough money. Need more upgrades, challenges, some way to spend the money or grow in off-season, some way for more difficulty
It's not outstanding but there's not much that stands out as bad either. It's simple but easy to understand and control and while the art/design isn't amazing, it is readable and does it's job. For a day's work I'm impressed at how playable it is.
That music though...
It obviously super simple but it's great the theme is in there at all... i screwed myself planting out of season which brings me to... ok you made it in a day, that's great... but there's so many more even little things that could have made this a little gem if you'd surface more info to the player.
But thank you for making the planting drag and drop and not some 3 step process like so many of these games.
I like how everything is very tidy, also the shelter looks pretty special. Your game isn't very complex and easy to figure out controls. Good luck!
Fun game with good visuals and simple gameplay.
- At first, I didn't realize that you could water/cover plants,
so maybe making that more clear would help.
- The music got a bit repetitive after a while.
Great work for only a single day though!
Nice one really impressive for a day's work. :)
I managed to make like 3000 coins before the weird looping music got to me XD
Great 1-day-made game, could have been even better with more unique mechanics and the graphics are pretty simple, you can just grab a royalty free music off youtube or something if you didnt think you can make good music
I will be very grateful if you rate the game and tell us about the shortcomings.
Good game, music is a bit repetitive but gameplay is good and the elements are all there, it's a complete game! I see the theme of seasons but not so much of regenerative agriculture.
Thank you
Can you setup the game on lower resolution? or the page embedding the game. put at minimum 720p cuz i literally cant play it as the window is too big
Thank you very much for your advice. I tried to fix it.
