Nice little game, I could see this being expanded into something more, possibly a mobile game due to the way it's structured. With just a little more polish and other things to actively do and manage it could be nice relaxing game. However, it did take me a while to figure out the controls and an optimal route to progress in the game. Fixing both that and pacing issues should improve the experience by a lot. Good job overall!
I agree with the above as well about being able to be tabbed out would help.
I really enjoyed it!
I have to say that I think it was too idle for my taste, but I like how you manage to fit in different upgrade systems that balanced each other out. I guess implementing a simple mechanic where you could slay some of the carrots yourself could help a bit.
Did you make the art yourself? If so, good job with it as well.
The sound effects were a little bit repetitive, but I know it's pretty hard to come up with something in such a short amount of time.
I was impressed that you managed to find time to include options. Kudos for that!
I also loved the humor in it - the silliness was cute and engaging.
Overall, really good job!
Do you plan on keeping working on the game or this is it?
(There is a typo in-game controls info, stating the S key twice).
It's cool having the player upgrade the enemies to progress faster, I went a bit overboard on the upgrades initially and had a while where my farmers kept on dying and I had to rely on the tractor to bail me out (which is entirely my own fault :grin:)
