Thanks for saying so, I would love it if our game had that kind of effect on kids who play.
I agree about the seasons being too long as they are. We had seasonal event code in place that would have made the seasons feel less dragged out. Maybe in a post jam build!
There are a bunch of background garden assets that we have that would have given a nice visual representation of your hard work. Plants and flowers would grow over the seasons with their size and abundance based on how healthy your compost is.
