Sit back, relax, and enjoy the task of creating your own profitable farm! Growth is a game where you work the land, grow your crops, and enjoy a nice profit on the side.
Great execution! The turn based mechanics were an interesting way to present this game, and I saw no real bugs. Even though I've seen farming games before, it was fun to manage my time. Really well done.
Also, I have some followup advice for you, if you're going to work on a post compo version. Incidentally, I'm only doing this because I REALLY liked your game, and would love to see more of it!
+ Have tilled fields decay if the player doesn't plant in them after a couple days. + Make wheat grow just a little faster, and be worth a little less to sell. This will not affect your worth of grain, but WILL make the other crops more accessible more quickly, letting your player expand their options much more quickly. +I love the grass idea, but I feel like you could do more with it. Make it grow a little more quickly, and possibly have existing grass over 50% spread to a random number (1-4) of adjacent tiles. + I LOVED the random spawning truffle idea! I feel like you could expand on this and have other random spawning things the player could find. It would really expand your replayability!
Again, EXCELLENT job. Thank you for your submission.
Goes well with the theme. Very relaxing, could maybe use with more interaction (at least in the beginning, when you're just clicking the days away :D). Perhaps have some pests you have to squish or something?
After 100 days of growing onions, I get 27668G. You must construct additional onions.
Interesting little sandbox, but it does get very repetitive. Perhaps there should be additional game elements that work against you, like seasons or pests.
It seemed pretty slow for a farming game without side-goals. In harvest moon waiting for things to grow is to enforce your perspective of time and give you time to interact with the town, but here there doesn't seem like much of a purpose for clicking on new day ten times before you can get your value out of you wheat. Functional with good aesthetics, though.
Not bad. It feels like there's no motivation for action in the game? Like, there's no tension to make the gameplay enjoyable, I feel. I kind of want it to not be turn-based, so that I can sit back and watch the crops grow and then have to time when I harvest them that way.
Nice entry! I just think it needs some balance because harvesting expansive seeds does not give back more money as it should. For example, tomatoes cost 150 and can be sell to high prices, but they are sooo long to harvest that it's better to sell wheat (I did not miss action points despite I should have with this technique). Apparts from that, it is quite addictive, I could not stop before I achieve round 100. Good job ;)
