I had to play this a few times to get the hang of scrolling between the different times, but it was fun and I liked the idea :D

Fun idea! I like the farming, while it's challenging! Still have problems to understand the features of the game and how to play this. How do i kill rats? Where the water comes from? What are the "waves"? Why there is a giant baby?? One game play performance change would be that the the needed tools are in the order: plant, watering, pickup & the (?) weapon?

A bit hard to understand what each item does. And I didn't find any item to fight the rats back..

Super fun ! However I didn't manage to kill the rat (I try to use the red object but it didn't do anything):'(
Something to improvve the feeling of the game would be to decrease the time to have an activation of a n object after you push a button (ig. water fall)

Cool idea, and good artstyle. Couldn't really understand the controls, or how to fend of the rats. I did appreciate the tutorial for growing plants, I thought it did a job job teaching that element of the game.

The theme is pretty innovative, and i like the funny graphics. Although the game is pretty difficult, and hard to get the hang of. But maybe with some slight tweaks to the mechanics, controls, and maybe the addition of a tutorial, i could imagine this would be quite fun. Although i might add, i like that the game doesn't start for real until you figure out the core mechanic. That being said, nice game :smile:

Cool concept! It feels like a mix between a farming game and a tower defence! The art looks really good too:D

Really fun - and challenging! The graphics were great, and I enjoyed the comments made when you accidentally let the baby die. Still don't understand what the red flowers are for though...
It reminds me a bit of the Harvest Moon games.

Would be nice if tutorial was a little bit more extended, like telling how to fight rats back and stuff. However, this game is kind of a finding for those, who like small and hardcore games.
Also the mixture of artstyle and difficulty of gameplay gives you apocalyptic and creepy vibes, that's quite an experience. :3

Took a while to get the hang of it, knowing how to fight rats would have been very helpful from the start. Very interesting take on the theme though :D

Hey! Once again, nice graphics, love it so much!
Gameplay is interesting, not just defending, thats nice. But as sound guy I'm a bit... sad :(
Anyways, really nice job!

The art in this is cool.

Cool idea to be splitting your time between growing food for life and growing defenses for rats.

I struggled to get much past wave 3, I wasn't able to keep making food and water my defensive plants at the same time. I wasn't sure where my scythe disappeared to sometimes?

Really nice idea! It took me a little to understand the controls properly, and I died a lot. But I really like the concept and the art and sounds are nice!

The concept is cool, a bit like plants vs zombies, but it took me a while to figure out what to do initially. Maybe less complexity initially would be cool.
