It looks interesting and cute, the only thing I didn't like is that it doesn't have sounds, it feels like something is missing

Ooooo I love this idea, the game reminds me of stardew. The graphics is so adorable! I wish there was a cute soundtrack to go with it. The walking feels a bit like sliding on ice. I think the game would feel better if there was more visual feedback for successfully purchasing a seed. Really cute game, I love potatoes.

Came for the title, stayed for the cute papitas!
Nice stardew valley like gameplay. Some sounds would've been nice.

Those were some adorably tasty papitas! Those slimes need to quit messing with them though, so rude. Nice gameplay, easy to figure out. I echo the sentiments above, that a little chiptune soundtrack would really elevate the game, and some visual feedback for purchasing, planting, and getting hit. Overall well done!

I enjoyed this so much - missed some sounds, But this is a great entry!

Really cute art! I like it!
It's a bit strange that one slime can hurt you only once. And I think it would be better if your health could recover during the game. Also, adding some sounds would've been nice.

This is adorable and definitely extendable if that's something you wanted to do, there's a lot you can do with this game, great job.

Cute art, and I love the name! I think it'd be better if you could swivel while attacking. I agree with the others that it'd be great with sound, but otherwise nice job!

dope art! well done! I lost all my potatoes :(

Really loved the art! I was a little confused when trying to buy potato seeds (couldn't tell how much gold I needed or if I was clicking in the right place to buy). And I didn't realize there was health until I was almost dead. But once I grasped the gameplay and controls, I enjoyed playing this. Well done!!

why the big potatoes trying to eat the little potatoes :(

My favorite title for a game so far in LD51 - I love it! The artwork is absolutely gorgeous and the game flows well once you get going (and it definitely gets really frantic later on). I had a lot of fun trying to kite 15 slimes around while still planting my lil taters. Nicely done!

Cute! Super cool that you did the scripting in rust too :heart_eyes:

Papita!

Interesting idea with an adorable art style. By the way, it could be good if there's a hit feedback from the enemy. Other than that, a pretty solid entry, well done!
