It took me a bit to figure out how it worked, but once I did I thought it was quite fun. It would make a nice mobile game - I like how the deck dealing mechanic opens up the door for a bunch of variety, excellent design there. The graphics are so beautiful and the UI is awesome!
Here are the notes I took while playing:
adorable art style and nice button style. Font could be a bit nicer, maybe shadow added to buttons. Logo is awesome but could use some thin outlines to help make the individual elements pop, especially the letters and the bird against the black background
starting story section. cute music, wonderful art! I love the skew and pencil, great way to learn in to the jam's limited time and enhance a sketchy style for speed of production! scrolling text sound quickly gets grating, text is a little hard on the eyes while scrolling. ui looks very clean and crisp.
skipping to a new page mid sentence makes it hard to follow the story
is there a page missing from the story? It ended at "at his house," but then went to stage select
back button took me to main menu, was thinking it would take me to story. S to skip avoids the printout, on first play through I thought it meant skip that page of story
i like the audio feedback on button clicks, sound is fun and fits thematically in the game, few errors - playing on mouseover, playing twice when previous/next spawns after clicking next in tutorial
tutorial is nice!
ooh choose a deck? Intriguing... what did it do?
this game board is awesome, great art and layout
oops i think i skipped a day. Slick animation on that!
skipped all days, got to loss, back to stage select
how do I get more tills? I noticed plants grew randomly when I just skipped turns. Do I need to plant everywhere?
i planted a carrot and it said -5, -5 what?
puzzle piece isn't doing anything when clicked, i assume this is compatability menu
oh no, crows ate food! Nice animation on them, they ate it so fast though!
used the rain. Ohhhh i get it now, it's a deck of cards, like a board game. Oops guess i used my weather card
inconsistent having to click the plough but drag the seeds
counter for days it at 3, watering can says 15 uses but could only water one plot, clicking on others doesn't do anything. are they done growing? Do i need to harvest?
i planted everything day 1, not sure what I should be doing
i lost, ran out of turns?
oh i figured out the compatability menu, it's a drag, that's confusing. Wish it could be toggled open
cut card doesn't seem to work, unless it does something other than the plough button.
i like the alert sound when crows appear
music repetitive
ohhh use the plough to harvest, that's why they can't be watered
more seeds could be another possible reward for harvesting, I got free turns
i won, +1 star!
stage 2!
how many points are plants worth? Like if i get -5 points for planting incompatible is it better not to plant?
doesn't look like there is a stage 3
