Seasonaut by LDJam user 300461
You are on a planet where the seasons change every 10 seconds! Plant plants in spring, harvest during autumn, mine iron and build the dome, but be careful to not starve at the end of winter!

I'm a big fan of farm type games and I really enjoyed this game! I even caught the feeling of flow and challenge towards the end.
It was not too convenient for me to use the controls. Perhaps I would like to control the mouse in such a game - with the mouse to walk and do actions. Sometimes I pressed the button to plant food and at the last moment I accidentally moved and it was all in vain!!! I got upset :(
I see the development of this idea and really want to see what happens if you finish it! I represent management where you need to get points and invest them in increasing the time of the season... I enjoyed it a lot! Thanks and good luck with your development.
I also did not understand what to do with the fence.
It's a LITTLE unforgiving after the second dome "upgrade" (when it starts to cost 3 food and 3 iron), because once you get to that point, you have to execute everything perfectly to survive, which can be a little fiddly with some of the controls, since most button presses cancel other actions.
And there's really never any point in going on the right side of the planet, you should always stay on the left side to be close to the dome.
If anyone comes to this page and wonders if you should try it, definitely download it. ^_^
I really like the music, but the sound effects are too loud relative to it and some of them don't fit very well.
All that said, I had fun figuring this game out and making it to the end. This is a really good use of the theme. Good job.
It also felt like I have no control over whether or not I could give resources to the dome.
That being said, I had fun.
It was cute. It was fun. I enjoyed.
Thank you. :D

I had no idea what I had to do at first , maybe some indications at the beginning of the game or in your game page would be necessary. I think the game was actually quite pretty, I really like how visible the seasons changes are and the cosmonaut is cute.
Like other mentionned, planting was a bit frustrating, and I sometimes had an issue where my character wouldn't move for a few sec before walking incontrolably for another few seconds.
Cool aesthetics walking around the globe, took me a while to figure this out, the rhythm was nice
...I'm also notorious for finding the weirdest bugs so.. my bad. ^^;;
It was fun though! I'm happy that I played. :D
