A great start of a game that definitely has promise if you decide to keep working on it!
That was nice to play !
I may not have explored all the mechanics but I would have enjoyed seeing other types of farming vehicles. Especially if you could hook the money into an upgrade system. I may just want to enjoy a crop duster using your mechanics... but I think there are other cool things you could do with it too.
Overall, I enjoyed my visit to the mystical land of Ontario, Canada. Thanks for inviting us to play with your game!
Do you have plans to expand your game after the jam? I think you could do a lot with the driving/city mechanics where maybe you're delivering specific food to specific business/houses, and driving to other supply stores and upgrade shops to buy new tools, seed types, etc.
1. I don't know how, because I couldn't reproduce it, but at my first run, I was riding the the tractor equipment without the tractor. The tractor was in its starting point, non moving, and the equipment was the one I could go into, but it didn't interact with the field.
2. You use LMB, not RMB to change the hats :)
But overall, nice game.
I absolutely missed the car to the left the first time I played, so you might want to think of ways to bring that to the player's attention (either make sure it is in frame to begin with, or maybe an arrow pointing in that direction). I absolutely loved that you had a little town view for me to drive around in. I can see that growing into something with a lot of other stops and sites! Very cute.
In terms of priorities, the hat cosmetics were a neat thing to play with, but I'm not sure they added a whole lot to the game. You might have been able to use that time on something a little more integral. (This is coming from the guy that spent a good 2 hours adding player character options in LD50 as a sort of personal mission haha!)
