Off course if you want to... 😈

-I hate when devs put or leave an exit button on an HTML build, resulting on a freeze when you press it, but hey, it's a jam build so maybe you didn't had time for this...

-I find your tutorial screen graphics way too clean for the rest of the game, that create a small artistic dissonance IMO (but I'm an art nazi so...)

-I don't think the police car patrol seems to be balanced at all right now, it's a super cool idea NGL, but it's catastrophic to see all your effort destroyed cause you had to close the metal blind.

-I think the small RNG on the growing phase is questionable in terms of balance in the current game state, cause player can't predict sh!t with that.

-I think the intradiegetic approach of the gameplay is both good AND bad : good cause it's enhance the immersion, and that clearly benefit your game. And bad cause that really slow down the gameplay in a game where you really need to be quick an reactive. 

I think you could enhance the object pick up, switch or drop without destroying this approach. For example : the player could put the seeds in the pipes by just dragging them on top of it, without the need to click/release each time, same for storing the scissors, you could simplify the thing and energize the gameplay.

-I find the grow speed and clover death way too quick. Maybe changing grow and decay speed according to the level and difficulty could be interesting.

-Maybe adding a little more juice and feedback when the player interact with the game could be good, don't need to go full Michael Bay mode either.

-Not a problem in your game RN, but I tell you that for your future projects : millions of people around the globe don't use QWERTY (I refer to your tutorial) . As a AZERTY user, that drove me crazy to have to change linguistic settings of my OS (even with shortcut), EACH time I want to play to a WASD based game cause the devs don't know or don't give a F about us. I think the bare minimum should be a WASD and ARROWS support for each game, cause there are way too many keyboard layouts in the world to take care of all of them : How to gone crazy as a dev

-The music is perfect for the game, but very discreet (the lamps even make more noise than this one), and it seems to completely stop after a while or not looping correctly IDK, too bad...

-Your background art on the game page is not seamless (I'm still in art nazi mode), I can't recommend you enough to directly download some BG wallpapers from popular itch games to understand how there are made and how you can use them properly with the CSS theme editor.

-Apart for this smalls criticisms : I would love to see more mechanics "transplanted" into the game loop and maybe give an extra goal and source of dopamine to the player to keep him invested.

I know how much it's hard to make a game in 72H, and you probably already know or realize a bunch of things I said here, but despite that I still think your game is a pretty solid entry in this JAM. Nice job !
