Do you ever just want to casually farm on your field? Well this is not the case, you will be annoyed by multiple events that will make farming a nightmare. Luckily you can move plants to avoid dangerous events.
Your main goal is to earn as much gold as possible but be careful - resources can be easily depleted and you will be stuck with dried plants.
*How to grow plants: * You need to plant a seed, water it and fertilize it and once the plant is fully grown, harvest it.
Controls: Mouse or key shortcuts to select tools and items

Sounds and music also fit the game.
The only thing I didn't really like was that the score was how much money you happened to have at the end of the game. I think I would've preferred if it was how much money you made overall, otherwise it seems like the best strategy is to stop playing towards the end, rather than speed up and try and make the most of the time.
While I was reading the description of fertilizers, I lose :(
I really liked the music and graphics. I love simulators, but I have never played this before!
Graphics are great and a pleasure to look at, and the sfx are well-designed as well. You can get a hang of things quite fast and after that it's smooth sailing really :grin: Even though random events come every 10 seconds, the whole game feels relaxing rather than challenging.
Well done!

Very nice game, I liked the music, it was very calming, same with the sounds, some of them were funny. The graphics were on spot, just for this type of game, I liked the color palette and canvas size choice. The gameplay was good, a bit frustrating but that's something to expect in this type of game. I appreciate all the key shortcuts for the tools, it felt nice when I got used to them.
Overall, nice entry!
