I liked it a lot, but it felt quite luck based (I ended up discarding tons of herbicide\/pesticide...) And the boost cards(other then working hard) felt a bit redundant as you pay x to get y bonus. But I think with a bit more work this could be quite interesting, like maybe with a whole farm rather then just 3 fields or something. Great work :)","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"KappaJin","author_uid":"1065764","time":"2018-04-24T14:48:30Z","epoch":1524581310,"modified":1524581310,"text":"Pretty fun little game! I enjoyed the combine of the two genres a lot and I was surprised how addicting the simple concept could be. Obviously, the complaints I had would be that I would have wanted more cards but that's understandable with the time limit. Good job overall, a solid game!\n\nAlso, if you have time, check out my game and give it a rate and comment!

As for the randomness - the only thing that is random is the weather events on your fields (and only 1 is selected every 2 cards drawn with a ~30% of nothing happening)  So really not much random.  The cards are actually recycling - as you use them or discard them they cycle to the bottom of your deck  -  this is probably something i could have pointed out better in the initial tutorial.\n@KappaJin Thanks for playing - ya i think more cards could really turn this into a more polished experience.  \n@Velocity7 Thanks!!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"isaaclopinho","author_uid":"1006769","time":"2018-04-26T02:02:52Z","epoch":1524708172,"modified":1524708172,"text":"I was a bit confused on the first try, but then I got the game idea.

I didn't get to spend as much time making the cards and interactions as much as i wanted and if people seem interested i'll probably keep developing the game after LD in which i'll add a ton more cards and progression things.\n@haharo Ya simfarm was my insperiation (i love that game)  I do wish i had more art skill \/ time to work on art, maybe something i'll revamp if i continue working post LD.\n@joltjab HAHA, ya a few of my co-workers have said they lost track of time too - makes me feel like there is a solid game concept here that i might continue to work on post LD to really polish something up.

Took a bit of getting used to, but eventually settled into a nice rhythm. Plant a seed, count how much it cost to upkeep, and just make sure you harvest at a net profit. Having irrigation counter drought was pretty cool, but I couldn't figure out how to counter drowning, or that... other affliction. I don't know what that is, looks like a little green sperm or something. None of my cards at that time could remove that debuff.\n\nEither way, not a bad entry at all!

It's simple, but addicting. I did experience a couple bugs though. If I unlocked multiple things at once the words at the top of the screen were all piled on top of each other, and the tractor card glitched when I tried to look at it and I couldn't pick it up to see what it does.
