Plant your own fields with random, genetically made plants and try to find the golden kapusta (cabbage)! Game is ready and hopefully bug free made by two people (me and @kozec). It was fun, but also stressful experience. Have fun!

really cool! I've done enough in python to know that this is quite impressive! It's fun to see different strains expand over various areas. as it stands now, It's more of a simulation than a game. something like this would be cool if there were better ways to control what is growing where. if irrigation and terraforming were made a little cheaper, random mutation were removed (crossbreeding only), and a box select function were added, it could be quite fun. it could certainly benefit from the addition of selection highlighting.

I'm impressed, it's a very nice game, I really like the concept. The only thing is that the game is really confusing if you have not read the drive sheet. Other than that great job! +1 for linux port

Better control and the game can be really great!
For now it's a little too difficult to use :/

Despite that good idea and great job :smile:

It took me way to long to get the core mechanics. You should include a tutorial.
Overall a good game, but it isn't nice to look at for a longer time and it gets repetitive after a short time.

Super cool idea! I like all the little pictures of the plants and the overview.

Improvements:
* Clearer goals
* Right now you can only loose by spending all your money I think. Needs some kind of other loss condition.
* It's a bit hard to tell what's going on. Which plants have seeds and so on.

Can't play it right now because I'm on MacOS, but I appreciate you made a Linux build since I'm a long time linux user.

I also think the goals and mechanics should be explained a little better. The UI is intuitive, but very technical and it fails to give a clear overview over the whole situation, which would be quite useful at the beginning. The concept looks really cool though, and I think this could make for a really nice game if it's a little more polished and the gameplay is more clear. I personally love these kinds of strategy games, and I think you've got a great start right here. Great job!

I like it! I probably spent more time on it than i should have, which is good, i created some fruit bush that spread like wildfire and gave me great profits.

I have found the golden kapusta! (probably by luck).

I hope you'll set up time to make audio next time. It doesn't have to be fancy, some silly recorded sound effects can do wonders.

I like these types of simulation games, and I think you've done a great job with this. It was a little confusing at first, so maybe if you develop it further you can include a tutorial.

Hey! Wow, firstable good job!
I like the art of the plants! The idea is really cool! Really innovating. But, even with the google document, I have no idea how to have that damn Golden Kapusta! I had just plant who gave me max money. I was rich, but no Golden Kapusta ^^. Great job!

Nice game which can live by itself. And generating every plant from random DNA is awesome.

Very interesting. Drawings of plants are intriguing.I'm afraid I didn't get much in the game, even after reading the instructions. You need to seriously work on the interface.
