Come on down to the farm. Click a square or two, till the land, plant some seeds, harvest the fruit of your labor. On a side note you may want to do that before someone else does.

If you had the opportunity to participate in r/place you will find the idea here familiar to a level. Anyone can load up the page and work the land, the only rule is harvest as much as you can to be the greatest farmer.

The premise is pretty simple, the open board is a place for anyone to set up a farm. You just have to start clicking. You can zoom in and out using the scroll wheel on your mouse or the zoom bar in the lower left corner.

You can click and drag to move around the map. Once you find a suitable location for your farm left click to select the square and start taking actions. You can Till, Sow Seeds, Gather Water, Water Crops, and Harvest Crops.

After Harvesting your inventory will automatically be sold giving you currency and putting you on the leader board. Can you hit the top?

I like how it gets more interactive with more players. I'd love to see the leaderboard populated to know how I'm doing, and it'd be awesome for the wait time between actions to be a bit shorter :D

Hmm is it still up? We weren't able to interact with the page at all. Chrome on Windows Version 108.0.5359.125 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Great concept! It would be cool if we could personalize the terrain somehow, so we could leave our mark. I had fun playing (Emuy the Water Buffalo) :P

Long wait time for activity makes it pretty slow in singleplayer.

it's interesting to rob with other players, single line operation maybe to simple.(maybe i can operate multiline later? i don't know because it's too slow

Little bit buggy, but I forgive you for making a true MMO game! Excellent! I wish people would make more games like this! I think there is no need to leave improvement ideas, as you already know what could be done better. Really impressive that you made online multiplayer!

I think there were some bugs. Sometimes my money was changing. I was at 10 money, then it showed 7 money and then 10 again. Also after 10 minutes of playing the game, the game suddenly stopped working altogether and I was unable to get money from harvesting crops.

Hahaha, I loved the game! I could play it for hours on end, very good!!! I made a point of playing until I passed everyone's score hehe. Congratulations on the game, I'll keep it here for when I want to play more... If you decide to continue development and make more levels and such, I'll love to keep playing and giving feedback! Oh, if you have a little time, enter our game and give your review too (go to my profile). I advise you to play the downloaded version, because the Ludum one is not adapting the window correctly!

I'm not sure it was working as intended but it seemed like I was the only one making changes to the world and each step took a while.

This game was pretty cool. I like the zoom in and out bar for the camera. I felt that doing the different actions took too long and that all the different action took the same amount of time.

I enjoy the mechanic and being able to see other players interact in the world is super cool! My only suggestion would be lowering the activity time slightly and giving the water a bit more texture than just a blue square, otherwise lovely game!
