Fertilized Crops Xtreme

You are the best farmer in the world. Now is the time to prove it. Sell as many crops as you can, as fast as you can. Beat the clock.

Objective: Earn $10000 total profits from crops in 15 days.

How to play: The farm is divided into patches. You must (1) Till the patch so it's ready to be seeded. (2) Water and (3) Seed the patch. Once the patch contains seed and is watered, the seed will grow into a crop. (4) Harvest the crop and walk to the truck to sell them. Use the money you make to buy more seeds in the shop as well as upgrades.

Tips:
- Just play once to get used to the game, then restart. It's going to take fast thinking to beat it.
- 1 day = 30 seconds, so you have 7.5 minutes to win.
- You can stay in the shop safely without the timer running.

It froze up on the store for me a couple of times, but besides that this was quite fun! Repetitive actions, but somehow addicting!

Really enjoyed the game. Really fast-paced and I liked it. The game was really easy to understand, didn't have to consult the "H" button. Probably gonna play this a couple of times until I make it

You need at least Java 7 and just run the jar file. I really should get into the habit of compiling down to Java 6 though. You never know if some people might still have that.

I am no fan of this 8-bit music but the rest was awesome :)

I like this very much!
The gameplay is quite satisfying, once you get used to it.
Some random critique:
-I think there are more crops than needed, since I didnt use the ones in the range of 12-10$ at all and most of the other ones only once or twice
-Upgrading mechanic is great, it gives lots of strategic potential
-I think the time constraint is quite generic. I would have likes a relaxed endless game mode. (Maybe additional)

The game reminded me a lot of harvest moon, but I like your controlscheme more! I think this has quite some potential :)
Great work!
