Because of that, the program executes less cycles during day\/night, when the load gets heavier. Tham means, that vampires and visitors move less spaces and interact with fewer plants. After some time the game basically comes to a full stop, because either the customers cant reach plants to give you money or plants die off, bacause vampires cant reach them.\r<br\/>If you could fix that issue, the game would be really fun. In fact the first days (before &quot;lag&quot; kicks in) are really fun!\r<br\/>Nice work!"},{"author_name":"foolmoron","author_uid":"36186","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 10:37pm","epoch":1450564320,"text":"I like the day night cycle! It's similar to my Clickacabra game from last jam and it provides a nice flow to the game. Animations are hilarious and it's really cool to see the different NPCs running around. It's not very satisfying to play for too long though since there's not much feedback to your actions (either visually or gameplay-wise)."},{"author_name":"RiOrius","author_uid":"65619","time":"Dec 30, 2015 @ 6:10pm","epoch":1451498700,"text":"Cute idea, but performance became an issue pretty quickly (~7 gardners?).
