Very decent. I understand that it is supposed to be a casual chill game but I think a timer based competitive mode could be fun as well.

Really good concept, could be improved by adding more time based challenges. Good job!

I think achievements are a better way to upgrade your game :)

It's very soothing, and fun to try and pull off simultaneous actions. Good work!

Interesting concept! Rotating planet seems like a nice idea to work with, probably can be used to create something bigger, well done!

Such a creative and unique concept. I also really enjoy the visuals. I clicked on your game because I thought that it would be similar to mine (harvest plants on a planet), but they're totally different which is great!

Nicely done! I liked the art style. It can be quite relaxing. I agree with Senso, I think achievements can be quite interesting to add.

Indeed relaxing and with a different game loop compared to most of others :)

Very relaxing and enjoyable to watch once the planet was filled too. Good idea to put what the plants require right under them so there's no doubt what needs to be done.

I really enjoyed playing this game. The sounds area really soothing and nice. I would recommend adding some more conflict, maybe the crops expire if not harvested in enough time? That being said, I found it really chill and relaxing, so I worry that more time pressure might change the feel. So it really depends on what you're going for. I like it overall, great work!

This is a neat concept. As others have noted it wouldn't be too hard to expand upon this without ruining the zen vibes. It would be cool to unlock different plants that may have different requirements for water and sunlight. Maybe some way customize the moonlet.

Great stuff!

Easy to puck up and very relaxing to play! After a little while I felt like there wasn't as much point trying to rotate the planet just right since there was always something getting water or sun, but despite that it was still fun to just watch things grow :)

the idea of rotating the planet is so original! it feels like turning the whole harvest idea around. instead of actively doing something to the plants you move the plants around to passively progress through these stages of growth. it feels so different from all the other games while still perfectly interpreting the theme in another way :)

Very cozy indeed. I harvested 20 and totally had to play until I had the moon full of plants. Good job. A simple and good take on the theme. Extra points for using Godot. Congratz!

Clever idea !
This is one of the most interesting gameplay i tried so far.
It would be interesting to add a snow cloud to balance it with some difficulty, dunno if it would fit correctly but might be interesting.
Well done for this game, it is very inspirationnal!
