Interesting concept. My potato farmers kept glitching and getting stuck sideways in the ground lol. Cool plant growing mechanics. I liked how the potatoes had multiple phases, wish I could've watered them.

Took me a bit to figure out that I need to click the pot. Maybe add a description to your itch and ludum dare page?
Are there any other interactive elements in the game? Would love to buy more potate plots or upgrades. It was nice watching my army of helpers handle all the potato gathering.

Once a helper got stuck in the floor though:

Helpers plant, water and pick the potatoes.
@mmayans @vinzbad stuck helper will fix itself eventually. A few new garden bed will appear after certain helpers amount. There are no more interactions. Thank you for you kind comments.

Idk why but this made me laugh and enjoyed a little bit. If Dva is replace with some cool little guys, like little colorful cubes maybe? To match the entire graphic style, and add a bit a of randomness in there movement, this is really interesting somehow to watch for minutes...(also fix the camera behavior

I wish there were interaction besides just clicking the pot.

Nice idle game. The helpers look pretty, and it's pretty funny when they get stuck lying on the ground.

You should capture the mouse cursor, my mouse drifted out of the screen to my second monitor (similar thing happens if you play in a window).

I think if the overall in-game element is more harmonize and in the same context, it will help the game look much better. But you should be proud, you made a game and submit it!

I love the idea of growing potatoes. I would be helpful to implement a kind of explanation at the beginning in order to help players understand but once I understand I liked it :) ! good job

The camera movement a little bit difficult, but over all, it was a nice game!

Haha, it's a cute little idea. The main issue I ran into was with the camera movement -- the camera moving with the mouse also present and able to hit the edge of the screen was a little weird, and trying to click on stuff while the camera moves with the mouse was a little bit difficult... also sometimes the camera went upside-down ;._.

Would love to see this expanded into a more full-fledged game with some more interactivity!
