Enjoyed the game. Nice touch on card-merging for the theme 

Super cute game! Had a ton of fun playing!

If you wanted to make it more strategic, I think adding the ability (whether as a technique or shop upgrade or just implemented from the start) to keep a few cards for the next cycle would be interesting!

I really hope you continue working on it, I think this game has a lot of potential.

p.s mangosteen are my favorite fruit. i got so excited seeing them and I cant wait to see all the other fruits you add to the game <3

Hey Finn, love the game.  The vibe is great and it's a lot of fun.

Just a heads up, the game won't launch from w/in the itch.io desktop app on macOS.

It pops up a red box over top of the unity loader that says:

> Unable to parse Build/WebGL.framework.js.br! This can happen if build compression was enabled but web server hosting the content was misconfigured to not serve the filewith HTTP Response Header "Content-Encoding: br" present.  Check browser Console and Devtools Network tab to debug.

Pretty good game ! I really like the optimisation challenge  

Why don't you get anything for completing the bucket list?

At least like a pop-up please

I spent way too much time trying to optimize getting to 500k LMAO. Lavender Pear is goated. Looking forward to the full release!!

Won't install on my pixel 7... Any ideas?

Most of the game was fun, but it had a slow start and end. I completed all the goals except for harvesting 500 crops and accumulating 500k golden leaves. Got halfway to the crops and not even 20% to the leaves. Seemed like too much of a grind with nothing extra to help maximize my time or make it interesting.

The graphics are absolutely gorgeous and everything moved very smoothly. I really loved the simple yet satisfying mechanics. I had a good time playing, but doing anything after reaching level 10 felt pointless. Good luck with any and all of your future endeavors! :D

Enjoyed the game. something to play while relaxing from a long stressful day. Cannot wait for more seasons and new combos. :)

Very cozy!

Fun little game!

Wow, this was such a cool game! Though it did get a little repetitive when I was trying to get to 500k. I think this game was really unique, and completing the quests was interesting. 

nice little game. the pond need o be change , it's boring after a couple of hours..

thanks hope you finished it :)

First of all, cool game. I played until I became a 'serious farmer'. Although that title is a bit confusing since my reputation was 'serious farmer', and yet I had not yet completed the checklist (which I did complete BTW. Kinda grindy).

I've also been looking at the development log, and the shop thing is certainly a great idea. Currently after the third upgrade, my money became virtual paperweights. Honestly even a shop that lets you buy criminally overpriced seeds would have been cool, just so I could easily decorate my island with cool trees, or experiment with what's the highest combo (I got Pink for best, but I really wanted to see what the two last ones were :( ).

Also, when I started getting 12 cards, I really started wishing that it were possible to automatically sort the cards based on their combo level. I generally like meta upgrades that give quality of life upgrades over percentage and addition type stuff, so a sorter or an auto combiner, stuff like that would be cool.

Also the explanation of the skills should be a bit better. Adjencency is a pretty vague concept in most people's brains. Is it 8 directions adjecency? 4? Does it cross rivers? Does it count trees on the opposite side as if it were a spherical island? Most annoying of all it seems the definition changes between the upgrades. For chaining together it seems that it is 4 directional, non-river crossing. However for variety, it is river crossing (still 4 directions tho). Now maybe it's for good reason. After all it is significantly easier to chain than get variety if they were both river-crossing. I'm sure I could invent up a few more ways why that could have reasonably been done. But the point is that it should be explained, because most people (including me) will just assume something and make stupid decisions until proven wrong. The recommend way is generally just to take a few pictures of your game, show what works and what doesn't, then shunt it into some little question mark button in a corner reserved for the curious.

Continuing on, let's speak of the difficulties I had realising the previous point. It took me quite a few tries to be able realise I could see the description of bloomed trees. I had tried a few times to see exactly what my chain bonus was, but couldn't see any description. About 20 minutes in, I accidently paused a little on the corner of a bloomed tree plot, and lo and behold, a description with the bonuses. This is... not great. The fact I need to focus on the *corner* of something generally indicates that the game is not very polished. Personally when I want to be able see different levels of info in one spot in a game, I generally like it when the scrollbar lets one change between levels of info. So, switching between no info shown, foreground tree info shown, and background tree info shown (Yeah the overlapping makes acquiring the info of some trees occasionally impossible. Not cool). This would work doubly well, since it gets kind of hard to see some plots when there are too many trees. So a scrollbar could be an easy way to switch between transparent mode, when all the trees have a significantly lowered opacity, and normal mode.

In the end, other than the final grind (Just filling the island entirely, then harvesting for 50k each time), twas an interesting time. Needs only some more time invested (I hear more of that is coming your way).

Moin, I played the Game and it is fun. I also have some ideas. 

Why don't make plants, that have unique traits. Like: If this plant is harvested give a 1,1 multiplier for the rest of the round. Also a combo-system, when you harvest plants of the same. Like 1,1 multi.

I also think of a trait that gives the field you harvest the plant a permanent booster, like 1,05 multiplier or so.

Difficult. The game is well made and cozy. Can't argue with the quality. Personally i'm very annoyed with the energy system. You kinda need to trial and error your logistic points to figure out the right amount of stamina.. also biodiversity upgrade plays against the chain together mastery..

But it lets you redistribute the points so i can't complain. Its fun and i see how this can be made even more fun. But definately needs more visual indicatorors about the previous crops.

Right now you sorta combine aimlessly. Gona wait for the contracts. But so dar pretty good.

Some gameplay, some critique ;)

you should add different maps with different properties 

Soo calming helped me relax with exam stress

nice game

great relaxing game !

I'm invested this is awesome!

very  interesting game . love it 

full game when?

and please make it free on itch I like it but im broke :(

and don't have steam account ToT

Super cute!! I love the visuals and the overall gameplay! Seeing the creator's comments about having new ideas and inspiration excites me because this is one of the few games I enjoy coming back to!!

This is a super fun game! I think most people have pointed out any of the things I might have mentioned, but I definitely CAN say that seeing "Silver Starfruit" was interesting, and I got worried I had been ignorant of a cool Hawaiian fruit! (I used to live in Hawaii and did for a good chunk of my life). One of my favorite fruits is the Jaboticaba fruit. It is kind of similar to a mangosteen or lychee, I guess, but it grows from the base of the trunk/branches more like cauliflower does! Isn't that neat? They have a tree at the Botanical Gardens in Hawaii and so I can proudly say that I think the fruit tastes really really good! I hope to see more fruit and more things to do in the future~ = )

Really great game, but is there something after purple tier. Plus I have a suggestion: To 100% the game or to become a real Farmer you need to get all 15 Plants. I at least had to write down everything I already had and only then could I discover which I still didn't get. Long story short, I would suggest you add a compendium of at least the base fruits or even with the combination in it. I don't know if you plan to add more plants, but if you do it could get really complecated.

What a relaxing and peaceful world! The orchard in the sky garden, the music, and the laid-back UI make me feel so calm and cozy!
The gameplay stays relaxing, but I end up playing with dollar signs in my eyes as the fruit trade prices keep inflating...
In the later part, the growth speed of the fruit trees could maybe take 5 to 10 times longer.
Planting tons of fruit trees and covering the whole island with them at the end is super fun! 

That was awesome -- I really wish it was a full game! I would love to play it longer, find new plants from "exploring the world" etc.  Maybe different regions would be friendly to different plants, and certain plants could be hardier than others -- so there would be more strategy in the crossbreeding, as you tried to get a profitable plant that also grew well in many garden plots.  

I agree with the suggestion that hovering over cards should show the plant's stats, and I found the card-merging a bit finicky at times: sometimes I merged cards by accident, other times I tried to merge cards and they missed each other.  Maybe that's just because I'm using a touchpad.

Another suggestion: our "research" panel could include a family tree of different crossbreeds.  I made my own in Paint.net, which was doable because there were only three parent species -- but it would get a bit overwhelming with more than that.  Also, I wished quite a few times that I could rearrange the cards in my hand (to sort them by type and level).

I'll definitely be playing again as-is, though; it was very relaxing.

Hey Finn, this game is amazing! I really loved it :D

Here's some feedback:

1. Hovering over the cards could show their production and time, like when you hold them in place on the ground
2. Dragging the card to the board could have a transluscent arrow showing the position, dragging the card itself some times will obstruct the view.
3. It took me a while to understand that cross polination was supposed to be done in the hand, not on the map, I was expecting putting two seeds on the same plot. Mauybe a quick pop up tutorial could explain it when purchasing the upgrade.
4. The initial map is huge, and we have very few seeds, it could be expanded via upgrades 
5. Crops that were cross-pollinated appear the same as the regular ones when they grow, it would be nice if they were slightly different, maybe some changes in the hue or size
6. Buying the increase hand size upgrade with a full hand won;t update the max size, players need to use one card before being able to hold more cards.
7. Once we start mixing varieties it would be nice to have a simple hint of what the mix would produce before confirming it. I sometimes got lost with the varieties.

Well, I think that's it for starting :P 

I think an upgraded version of this game could do well on commercial websites, have you considered publishing it anywhere else?

really nice and cosy game ^w^

lol i produced the edgecase where i invested all my lemons into pollination, but have no more money to continue playing ^^

Well, this looks beautiful and is *very cozy*. Great job on getting the card animation to work, that can be very tricky.

I played a bunch of this game actually, it might be my most played one so far. Though i dont think there was any strategy to it. I just drew 5 seeds, then planted them all in a clump. Nothing ever seemed to happen? which was strange.

As i write this, i can see one of your images is a gif of seeds combining together. i had NO idea that was a feature LOL.

well done, this is a good entry to the jam :) very impressive for 10 days work.
