ASCII Farm

This is a good first Ludum Dare entry! I'm glad you were able to join the event.

In the game, it wasn't obvious to me at first that time was going up. Now I realize I have mismanaged my field and need to wait a long time for anything to happen! Is there an end game or score goal, or is this more of a toy / simulation?

It's a tech demo at best.
Might evolve into something more playable in the future...

I had fun with this. I like little webtoys you can just tinker with.

I think the board has a really nice aesthetic, and the UI is really slick and clean.

You could use this as a really good basis for a browser-based board game!

This is really cool! It looks nice, it has a good looking UI too. Nice :thumbsup:

Uh oh! The board does not show up in Firefox, but does show in Chromium.

Unfortunately it did not work in Firefox for me, but it did work with Edge. I enjoyed this game, it has a fun ASCII aesthetic that I like. For a first attempt at a game jam this is very impressive!

Could not launch it on Firefox, but worked well on Edge.

Ascii art is the first programmer art, right ?

Since there was not really a goal to the game, I guess I would see this game more as a simulator. But I remember my first Ludum Dare and this is great job here ! :)

Very fun game, very playable, would be good to have a goal

AWESOME GAME! I SPENT AN HOUR INSIDE!

Nice to see an ASCII game like this, with a little bit of polish it can be a nice game!

Lovely! Was just looking for a game that i could play on mobile and this popped up! Very soporific/ cathartic/ therapeutic :)

Love its simplicity. I could learn a thing or two about keeping ideas simple. Very effective game.

Edit: why can't i rate your game? Did you opt out of ratings? 🤔

Cool stuff. I love the ASCII aesthetic. This was really fun and relaxing to play. It reminded me of the joy of tending to a zen garden, fittingly enough. I may have stayed longer if there was some hook about selling and buying more crops, advancing the farm, all that usual stuff, but honestly I think I love this game more for not driving me down that path. I thought a bit about how I would like my farm to be, and then I grew it that way. The journey was enjoyable through and through. Thank you for sharing this. =)

For Dwarf Fortress graphics, heres a

Love this, simple and almost meditative. I wish I could rate it :(

Really simple but enjoyable game, the aesthetic was great and I felt nice and calm whilst playing. Wish I could rate this :(

Love ascii style!

It doesn't load in Firefox, but works correctly in Chromium.
Very interesting concept! I like the idea of using both HTML elements and canvas for the game. The game is enjoyable and has potential for future improvements.

Big fan of ASCII graphics :D welcome to LDJAM!

Well done. It's a good farm simulator.

Cool game, great idea. I love ASCII graphics style.

Not sure what todo. Altough I am a sucker for ASCII graphics :)

With an endgame goal/threat, it would actually have been the best farming simulator I've played this event. Wish tools/crops had hotkeys.
