How to "play":

You can use the "cursor" button to click on the existing plants to help them grow faster and help with timing of patterns.
The game will "tick" and the plants grow on each tick. Each plant has a number of ticks needed to grow to the next stage. Sometimes other plants grow depending on the pattern of the surrounding tiles and the stage of the plants on those tiles.
There isnt really a win or lose condition. But it is fun to see the plants grow.
Idea
I have been looking for a good reason to tinker with Odin-lang. LD is the perfect time to do that.
The idea was a sort of farming simulation / incremental game about collecting different types of plants based on patterns and time. I'm not sure that there is much of a loss condition but it seems fun to click things etc.
While I did not not finish the game I think some of the "bones" are there. There are a several

Side note, it appears to crash if you "scythe" too many crops too quickly. I just planted a big field and starting scything and the game crashes after a little while of scything.

Would be interesting to expand/explore it more indepth.
It is somewhat relaxing to just place things and see them "bump" but there is not much more beyond that except a Tomato pattern.
Thank you again for the feedback.
