Sproutsong by ehgoodenough

[raw]
made by ehgoodenough for LD34 (JAM)
A harvest-moon-like game where you grow your garden of magical plants to sell at the market!

Use the arrow keys to move, and the space bar to interact with stuff in the world. You start with ten gold, which is enough to buy you some seeds at the market. Just talk to the lady standing in front of the shop! :D

Developed in collaboration with @madameberry and @mcfunkypants. You guys are the best! #jamsandwich

Really nice little harvest moon like game! I really like how the lullaby flower sings.

Everything fits together, audio and visual wise, which is really nice. I wish there was a goal to reach for, though.

I like the mix of annuals and perrenials, it adds a interesting strategy to your garden planning

Loved the presentation and the sound! Game felt solid and I really could feel the harvest moon inspiration. Congrats, you distilled the game I wasted 2 months of my life on into a 5 min jam game. Love it!

Simple and fun - with more development it could be neat to see what kinds of dynamics you could get going with it. The audio was decent, but the music felt like it set a rather ominous tone that didn't fit the feel of the rest of the game.

Really enjoyed this one! There is enough depth to keep you busy wanting to explore the various plants. Audio and pixel art are lovely as well!

Nice. It feels like there should be more to do, but I like the variety in the flowers that are present.
Playing in the embedded player doesn't work well with the space bar?

I downloaded the windows-version but when I click on the magic-garden executable all that happens is a Chromium window that says "NW.JS". I couldn't get the web-version running either.

Really love this take on Harvest Moon. Took me a few mins to figured out what I was supposed to do but once I got it it was fun. Great job!

That was a fun game! I loved the style of it. My favorite part was the variety of plants! I thought they were interesting in that they had different attributes. I especially liked the plants that would rot quickly, and the singing plant (which was adorable!) The music sounded a little ominous to me. I think this can really be expanded upon! Even without some kind of overall goal I was having fun buying and planting the plants and watching them grow! I also liked the magic twist on it and liked playing as a witch. Awesome stuff! :)

Old mechanics but simple graphics, loved the singing plant. Didn't understand why would I use the one that costs 50$. Anyway, keep up with the good work!
