The walk animation is amazing haha, it was so unexpected and I laughed really hard. Buying crops was a little confusing as I didn’t realize I couldn’t get certain crops because they were too expensive. But in the end I bought them and planted them. They grew a little slow but still managed to sell them.
I liked the dystopian cowboy. Farmerpunk, is that a new scifi trend? I can dig it! Good use of assets to create a thematic experience. I couldn't get anything to plant, but liked exploring the little world you created :)
Notes from gameplay:
can't see top text, there appears to be a debugging output with time overlaid onto it
cute little cowboy, animation of his legs during the move reminds me of Woody from Toy Story. His pants meld into the background color in the second room.
how to get out of this seed fridge menu...
clicking E on soil beds isn't doing anything
where do I get seeds...
the delay in stopping makes it a bit tricky to navigate
shop buy center:
- meant to be SSHOP?
- menu of available seeds is rapidly changing - are my seasons changing right now? If so, they are changing very quickly. debug code
no feedback when i don't have enough money to buy plant
how do I get out of the shop...
yellow box to left of seed ui at bottom of screen
says empty underneath, what does that mean
clicking on soil bed, e just cycles, how to plant...
First, go to the shop, select using up and down (W or S) and then press enter or Z, after that you will have the seed in the inventory you can plant it using E on the plot of land, after the seed grows you can grab it pressing E again, but be careful because it's kind of buggy ;)
For me you haven't exactly understood the "regenerative farming" theme, you just followed a "farm" theme. Maybe the futuristic theme doesn't work well with "regenerative". And this theme is not present in the gameplay.
For the season theme, the speed of time is too slow to see its impact. It too sloooowww!!!
For a more immediate fun you may give the player some seeds at the start!
But with a better speed and a better balanced experience it could be fun.
The regenerative farming theme is a missing feature, maybe I tried too hard with the futuristic aesthetic and that distracted me from this part of the game, but I will try to add it on the future.

I could see this idea having some potential.

Thanks for playing my game!
Sorry for it being sooo confusing tho :/
-Yes it's meant to be SSHOP ( Station Shop but it kind of doesn't sound futuristic enough )
-You can exit the shop with X or ESC but forgot to add it in the instructions on the game page
-The little yellow square is a bug, you can select on your hotbar with 1,2,3,4... but for some reason it gets moved sometimes (dont know why)
-To plant you need to have selected a seed that you buy from the shop and then press E on the empty farm land
Will maybe fix the game and add some things later, if so please try it again!
Ah, how do I select a seed? I'll give it a try again.
First, go to the shop, select using up and down (W or S) and then press enter or Z, after that you will have the seed in the inventory you can plant it using E on the plot of land, after the seed grows you can grab it pressing E again, but be careful because it's kind of buggy ;)
Oh, I did get one from the shop, but when I tried to plant the E icon just spun in a circle.
Unique take on the farming game genre and I love my man's walk cycle 10/10
