Love the minecraft bed. I need one to irl.

The visual direction is cool and the theme is handled creatively, making for a highly enjoyable experience. I was having issue with the sound though, but in 1 week game jam it's overall great.

Nice game. Wanted to see what happens if i just do nothing. And yes I got devoured :) I will try again

Honestly, cleaning up the garden is oddly satisfying for me :D

This setup would actually work pretty well with a "color from out of space"-theme.

Developer

I'm glad you liked it! I actually was inspired but that story!

On my first round I tried to sleep three days on a row but got devoured hahaha. Well done implemeting different endings :)

I actually find the art style funny and good. The only thing I’m missing is sound (not sure if it’s just me) and some animation/feedback for the player. The game loop itself is a cool idea, like Stardew Valley but fighting the decay :)

Developer

Thanks! I'm afraid you're not the one missing sound and animation, but the game does, I had no time to add them

really good effort! liked the different endings, especially the one where you do the smart thing and get the hell outa there lmao

Developer

Thanks! I always enjoy multiple endings too, so decided to add some variety

Very raw but lovely. Got a few endings. Is it even possible to fix everything on a first day? 

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Yes, it is possible to fix everything on a first day if you find all infected tiles, or just go straight to the boss

I like the core idea of a growing thing that slowly devours the whole place.

Developer

Thank you!

There just might be space for an eldritch garden management game in the market! First playthrough i accidentally noped out of the deal. Gave me a good laugh, thanks! 

Developer

Thanks! I actually thought of expanding the game, there were much more things planned than I've managed to implement (sound, for example)

Great job!!

Developer

Thanks!

Nice work on this game so far, it took me a little bit to figure out that holding right click wasn't removing where my mouse was but instead where the character was, I agree the roof hiding is neat, I couldn't find the last piece of growth and kept ending my days on 1/93 :(

Developer

Thanks, I appreciate it! I plan to work on this game a bit more, didn't have enough time to polish it during the jam (there's a lot to polish)

Liked the game and found the little inside outside roof overlay to be a nice trick.

Developer

Thank you! I though it would be strange if house was halved the whole time, so I basically had no other options, but to add it.

Haha loved the ending screen, really cool.

Good job!!

Developer

Thanks!
