Please, tell me how to build the scarecrow)
I thought the scarecrows would keep them away, but they acted as decoys
Never managed to grow a single tomato! :(
LOVELY mood and style though. Nice work.
The gameplay loop is quite fun, I had a good time watching over my crops although I died before I could harvest them. I think that was my fault though lol.
I think one thing that would improve the game is if you could build things that shoot at the creatures, like a turret or something - as I quite struggled to aim at them, and I was busy cutting down trees and stuff.
All in all, this is a really strong submission that I found quite fun and that was very pretty. Good work!
But outside of that, wow, what a great job you've done here! This is a lot of work to achieve in such a short game jam. The vibe is absolutely immaculate, the graphics, the setting, the mechanics and the soundtrack.
Of all the games I've played and rated so far, this one is by far the one that feels the most like an actual game instead of a small prototype. Yes, it's unfinished, but it's still really impressive. Well done!
At all its simple and interesting survival game. Greate job!
