Description

Hectic Farming Simulator... Kinda...

Step into the shoes of a determined gnome with big dreams of cultivating a verdant empire. Your journey begins within the confines of a modest, albeit cozy, greenhouse. It's here that you'll embark on an epic quest to dominate the farming landscape and leave an indelible mark on the agricultural world.

Or...

Monopolize the Farming Industry...

Your choice...

We're not going to judge...

Well... Maybe a little :smirk:

Really nice game overall. The art style, music and gameplay fit together perfectly. I also love that Tetris-kinda placement of the plants.

Took me quite a bit at first to unlock potatoes, or I did it in a wrong way, then the game got quite faster, the initial pacing felt a bit slow because of just cutting cutting and cutting, or I missed something in the tutorial. Afterwards it was jolly!
Neat little low poly graphics and quite the calming tones and good sounds that accompany the game. Lovely work overall!

"You've unlocked potatoes" made me lol! Thanks for making this! Interesting use of the theme with the different seed plots!

I have to admit, I think I did not understand the winning condition :sweat_smile:

The general gameplay loop was engaging but at some point I think I needed something to work towards. I came to the part where it says to probably be buggy from then on and then I stopped playing, would something have happened afterwards?

Anyways, I like the art and the music - it just feels calming :slight_smile:

This was a nice chill farming game, loved the art style. The mechanic for the weeds was a fun way to manage the space. Overall great work and nice entry!

What a lovely little chill game. From the bigger environment I can tell there were a lot more plans, but I LOVE how the game is rooted in a small little universe. The board to show the prices was a great touch. Good interpretation of the theme too. It would be nice if switching seeds showed the seed you were holding as well as maybe having a button to switch to the sickle, but those are just minor details.

Really nice and relaxing game, really appreciate the effort of showing the whole farming building/area even though most of the game happens in the greenhouse. Funnily enough, I also made a game about vegetables, so this was nice to see :laughing:

Congrats on the submission!
My only complaint would be that the texts/icons for player controls were sometimes a bit too transparent to see.

A quick and fun game, would love to see this kind of concept on a bigger scale. A hectic farming game haha

Please, add more content (like upgrades, farm plotes etc). Nice combination of tetris and farming.
Good visuals and music)

Solid farming game, the music was super fitting for the relaxing vibe. Good job on making me feel relaxed! Trying to fit in the shapes was a feature I wasn't expecting either, really cool ideas for this jam and it totally got the theme down too!

Good game! Glad to say I've reached 15000$:) Also, spent a lot of time to create a perfect layout, but it seems impossible

This seems like an interesting idea that could be turned into a larger puzzle game. I really like the art! It took me a little while running around the farm before I realized you had to do your farming inside, since the door is mostly not visible to the camera. All-in-all, I enjoyed it and playing until I couldn't level anymore

Very polished entry. I liked accidentally harvesting my pumpkins before they were ready. My only wish was that there was a visual indicator of which plant/seed you were using as your placing the plants. This was a really fun game. Good job!

Cute little game! love the low poly designe, the general vibe is just nice
I got up to lvl 7 but stoped there since u called me out ... however I kinda was intriuged to hear what u would say if I continued to the next lvl.

One suggestion would be to have a warning of some kind if u try to harvest stuff before its ready. I harvestet onions by accident like 2 days before they were ready :(

Oh damn, I can spend infinite time here :O

Action game with puzzle game design is a very cool idea!
Great execution also! The sound of cutting things is so satisfying

Love it, sounds design and art style are on point. Also really like that you can just keep playing and continue harvesting to your hearts content

I reached level 3. good cute graphics. I think there was something missing to make it fun, I planted and harvested and made money and freed up new plants to plant again and it's planting and harvesting. the music is well suited and the theme is perfect, there is really little space, although you can walk around the outside area. A well-made game for a jam, very well done. I just needed to make it more fun, I didn't feel much desire to continue. but it's a great job

Cute little farming game with tetris/puzzle mechanics, I loved it! Low poly 3D design is great, the farm space is huge which gives me loooots of ideas to make a full game out of this. :smiley:

I think for the mini jam version a few little additions would make it even more fun. Because at some point I planned and planted my farm in a way that I had to wait very long crop time about 30-60 seconds I had nothing to do. It is ok if once or twice but not too much. I would suggest to make growth time shorter or introduce upgrades in game like fertilizer or watering can to speed things up. It would be nice to know what I am planting. Info for the crops would be great instead of next seed (although I had theem in my mind according to their unlock time and shape so I kind of knew what I was planting)

I played it until the end and enjoyed it, well done!
