And a bug. It looks like the scarecrow was not getting the animation reapplied for some reason when exiting the shop, and the animation does a lot to slow it down. I think that I have that fixed, I am going to update the web builds with the fix. \n\nAs for money, at the start of the game you should get 1 coin for every 8 collected wheat each night. There is an upgrade to improve that price, but we did not have enough time to make sure that those prices were any good.

I would have the farmer move just a bit faster than the scarecrow because you have to stop moving in order to farm, or allow farming while moving. Im sure youre already working on it but an expanded game space would be cool too. This game really does have a lot of potential! would be cool to have different levels of game play as well where you have to farm a certain amount of crops to get to the next level and theres other \"enemys\" like literal crows chasing you or something to that extent. Fun stuff, man, keep it up! Also your brother killed it with the soundtrack!\n\nEdit: after playing a while i see youve put a lot of thought into some of those specs.
