Never implemented a winning screen and was going to make hippies avoid you so you could chase them away, but ran out of time.
The graphics work really well with the gameplay. I love how this game shows that you don't need detailed art to create engaging gameplay. As a matter of fact, I think this game works best with the simplistic graphics it has. Great stuff!
One of the best games I've come across from LD2015. Very balanced base that could become a great exploration/settling game. Also enjoyed reading your code — love cljs and had not heard of infinitelevels before.
Ok this is now one of my favorites. Nice execution, really zen, art is good, growing theme is captured, well done! And I played a while with it, more than with other games, so yeah, that's good
I really enjoyed playing this game. I like the style and atmosphere. It would be nice to have some way of scaring off the hippies haha. I just left one of my bushes as bait for them to crowd around and smoke, so that they would leave the others in peace.
Somehow the major issue with this game was also the thing that hooked me. Didn't read the description and went right to the game, ended not understanding what's going on, so it was fun to actually try and understand what should I do and how to earn money. That's because UI is not obvious at all, which is bad, but then you can fix UI and make understanding the players functionality to a core gameplay. That would be cool. Still nice entry :)
Very nice and relaxing game I felt, even if you're taking down flies! I really like the art and audio, really captures the feeling! Great stuff overall!
