I'm about to report a couple of bugs, so I want to stress the fact that this game is great. I'm completely invested, I'm yelling "what do you mean you won't sell me bananas!" at the screen, I am here for this.
So I'm mentioning the following only because I want to see a great game get better. (The first couple are sort of game-stopping; the others are less so, or just cosmetic.)
- Crops that expand can expand onto arid soil. That wouldn't be so bad except that the game won't let you do anything while that's true--you can't move other things around or sell other things to make room to get them off the soil, for instance. Well, there's one thing you can do, which is sell the thing that's on the arid soil; but if (as just happened to me) it happens twice--corn spawns a kernel onto arid soil, and cabbage expands onto it--then you can't sell either one (because if you try, the other one is still "a thing on arid soil").
- Year 4, Level 5 ("Harsh Winter") requires 3000 points to survive after the ninth turn...but also after the fifth turn. That seems unintentional, i.e. I'd've thought that you need some smaller number by the fifth turn, because I can't imagine getting 3000 points in five turns. But maybe I'm just not trying hard enough?
- When you select the "broken clock" as a relic, the game adds another turn to the end...but winter doesn't move, so you never get to the ninth turn. (I wasn't sure if that was intentional--certainly the clock is broken!--but it's not how it works when you get to the level where you start with it.)
- The description of the plow is that it uproots adjacent crops, whereas what it actually does is clear arid soil.
- The circled numbers in the mouseover for the winter snowflakes a little small, and run off the edges--that's especially a problem when it makes the first digit of a four-digit number unreadable (and you can't tell whether you need 2000 or 3000 to survive).
OK, that's way more complaining than a game this good needs. Back to the farm for me. Thanks again for a really fun game!
