This was an interesting concept and I think you did a really strong job of creating a core game loop. Future updates could perhaps include balance tuning and introduction of obstacles - the game feels pretty easy to beat and I don't feel like my choices were that important to victory, so changes like tweaking spawn/growth rates or introduction of tension (birds steal seeds, plants die from not being watered, etc) could help make the game feel more tricky and engaging. Overall, I think this was great and I'm impressed at how much you achieved in the short time!
Notes taken during my playthrough:
font is hard to read
birds are cute
sound is nice
what is this thing in the middle of the screen? a sprinkler?
plants appear to be generating on their own
i clicked a tile and put down a plant, can't seem to put down any others. it's grown bigger. now it's mud?
nice detail in tooltip. what is syntropy?
bottom right, white square saying empty, what's that? edit: shows seeds
are these glowing dots seeds? How do I get them?
commands in game would be helpful, have to have second window up
commands have a nice range, I like that I don't have to be right next to the tiles. Why even have a character though? Feels like I could just scroll the map and play, would be less work that navigating a character
scythe animation is cute
1234 is confusing. What are the crop layers it's showing? What does that mean? When I click 4 it has multiple images stacked together. Are these crops I've planted or potential crops I can plant? Edit: walking around it shows some 3d depth, which looks pretty cool. The art here is very interesting, I think a bit of tweaking would help make it easier to read when not moving.
i like seeds being automatically picked up. Nice noise. Is there a limit to what I can carry? Stopped picking them up. some are still being picked up. what triggers them spawning? Weird to see them in fenced area outside of gameplay.
do I need to water? Seems like plants are growing fine without it.
watered image is too green, looks like a plant. composted image is also too green - these two are hard to tell apart and it took me a while to realize they were even being added to the tile.
can repeatedly water/compost the same crop
what are the brown and tan square shapes?
oh, seems seasons changed. I hit abundance without realizing it. Would be nice to have some updates/animation/popup/etc to convey season change. I think I won? Edit: Congratulations popped up after playing around a bit more. Cute screen, fun sound of river returning.
