Rocks are nearly impossible to dodge (maybe show a shadow on the ground before the rock falls down) and maybe add some more mechanics to it (watering the crops, so they don`t die instead of having them die randomly).\r<br\/>At least it fits the theme!

As someone suggested in the comments, maybe a slight warning when a meteor is about to fall, if it falls directly above you and you are not already moving it's pretty much impossible to react in time. I managed to get to the second plot 6 out of 10 crops, and it took me 10 tries! With some tweaking to the balance I could see myself playing more of this!
