You made this in C++ without an sdk?! This is great! Very nice graphics. I’d have preferred either the possibility of carrying more than one thing at a time or faster movement

Nice job on this!  The basic gameplay mechanics are there and work really well.  As others of said, I think adding some variety or a greater objective would add a lot to this game, but it's really well done for what it is.  Nice work!

While there was no fully fleshed out gameplay loop with an objective, the little collector in me honestly cherished the experience of racking up the money to grow a little garden with all the plant types. The aesthetic was really adorable too, it's unfortunate you didn't have time for audio, because that would have made it a perfect zen game ;). Really enjoyed this submission, great work! (Bonus respect for making this in C++ XD)

Great job!  When I saw that this was made in C++ I was honestly super impressed, as I probably couldn't have done it myself.  The concept shows a lot of promise.  I'm seconding the variety bit.  All you really need is one more mechanic and this would be a great farming sim!  Stuff like needing to spend money to clear rocks out of the field, or spend money on irrigation for better plant growing speed would really spruce up the gameplay!

Thanks man! This was my first time making a game and I was scrambling near the end so much I forgot about gameplay (and audio :P) If I had more time I would have wanted to add some minor automation features like Stardew or Factorio, as I love those games to death. Something for my next Jam!

Very cute game! A suggestion is to add an option to make the screen bigger because pixel art is small.

A simple game but well-made and relaxing to play. Just needs some audio and a bit more variety to the gameplay :)

cute game! Maybe the gameplay is too slow and it became boring because I was doing the same actions for 15 minutes xP

Definitely agree with that, next jam more focus is going into the gameplay and game design.

Thanks for the review!

Very cute game, works great.

Quite slow-paced, I wanted to quickly get to the part where I could make a nice little organized garden, but it takes a while. I suspect that's the point tho.

It would have been nice to have a visual representation of the shop, but it's clearly explained, so no problems.

Great job!

Developer

Thanks! 

I totally agree with the pacing issue. It took a friend an hour and a bit to fill the growable area, spending most of their time in a triangle between the shop, home, and the closest tile, so definitely something to fix.

I tried a few minutes before close to add a representation for the shop, but it didn't look good so I scrapped it.

Thanks for the review!
