Lots of small features that add up to a fun experience. The minigames for gathering water and fertilizer were cool, and having lots of secrets and unique shopkeepers around the world was a great way to encourage exploration and curiosity. I also love the artwork and character sprites. You even had some nice quality-of-life features like fading the trees out when the player walks behind them. The planting\/growing mechanics are plenty detailed for a jam, but I'd love to see you keep working on this and add even more types of plants, new ways to sell your harvest (maybe at a market or your own store), and maybe find rare seeds or buy your own farm\/land later!\n\n![score9.PNG](\/\/\/raw\/044\/42\/z\/560e0.png)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":925367,"author_name":"rargrave","author_uid":"rargrave","epoch":1674035522,"text":"@chompdev Thanks for the review. I'm impressed you made it this far into the game and got such a high score. My friend up above who got a 28 second run found some exploits so a 68 second run is extremly good. I agree key suggestions is a much needed addition.

I appreciate the pump animation and mechanic and the fertiliser collection mechanic! And the transparency of the trees when you're behind. And the basic sounds. A music score would also fit it. I figured out how to plant and harvest. What I wasn't sure about was adding water and fertiliser, whether I can do it in a random order. For a better product, it'd need \"levels\" where you first do just few things (dig + plant + collect) and then you add more (water, fertilisation...).
