Tips
- To make sure the feed meter at the top doesn't run out, try harvesting multiple crops at the same time.
- Crops go through 4 stages: Premature, Mature, Peak Maturity and Rotten.
- You won't get anything useful out of Premature or Rotten crops.
- Crops at Peak Maturity ought to fill that meter real quick!

I had a bit of trouble with finding the right keys at first but with some practice, it felt a bit more intuitive.
Great job!
If that isnt a priority though it seems great!
The amount of polish you've put here is great !
Cute art, nice and relaxing music, enough juice, and, to be honest, I don't see that many games that implements multi-language keyboard support !
Two words : WELL DONE !
The only negative point for me is the different colors for the plant states, for a colorblind like me, it was hard to tell the difference between the states, especially for the second type of plant. But I still managed to pull a 79 score hehe
+100 for supporting many keyboard type
Good job!!
The game itself was great - the pixel art looks great, the music matches well, and there's quite a bit of skill involved in not just locating the keys, but also timing keypresses to not interfere with each other.
I did extremely poorly the first two or three times, until I realised I had to allow plants to ripen prior to harvest. After I figured that out, things went a lot better :)
(yes, I know plants ripening is described on the game page, I just can't read lol)
Really nice atmostphre and graphics well done !
As mentioned before, it would be more pleasant (maybe even optional) if the buttons remained faded in, but that's complaining on a high level.
Otherwise, I can't say much except that you've done an excellent job!
