MaX Farm

played a bit of the game, i love the concept of it and would like to make some clarifications for any other player confused at the start, you need to use the money you get from harvesting the trees to complete the first task, that unlocks the shop where you can get plants, the third task unlock continous actions (ie, click and drag) that makes it so you can bulk plant crops and collect them, canals consume water/s and give a growth boost to plants adjacent to them so long as they have water, this water boost can be increased by getting your total water higher, 100% is not the limit, water consumption goes down the higher your multiplier so you want to get to 750% water pretty fast so you can have channels constantly filled, the water also waters 2 tiles out at higher multiplier levels so you can have less channels, the price of crops increases really fast, but they also take longer to grow the more expensive they are, so its nice to have two tiers of crops, a fast growing one for spamming, and a really expensive one for mutation (they have a chance to produce a mutated seed that can then mutate again into the next plant tier), overall, really fun game, just wish that the plants had more interactions between them, instead of just a random chance of mutation it would be nice to have them interact with each other for mutations.

extra: the auto collectors are incredibly laggy for some reason, it seems the planters create much less lag so not sure why, but they kinda kill fps when you are massing crops

extra2: okay, beat the game, i really, really dislike it wiping out your farm when you win, i was going to unlock all the plants to check crafting but now i need to start over from scratch

Ok I have played it for about 3 hours. Jotting down my first impression and opinions here.
It was an addicting game loop, very reminiscent of the old flash game style. It has a quick hook and cycle. I do feel that the addiction will wear off but so far it is paced pretty well with new stuff. The art is not distracting, i think it looks good myself. I think something that would really help the overall feel is some sort of NPC dialogue simulating people visiting your farm. Right now it has this eerie feeling of loneliness.

There is a lot of not translated stuff, so not sure whats going on with that, most of the time i could figure it out with the video. Was a little confused at the very start since i didnt realize that i needed to complete the first task.

Canals: using them constantly seems very costly. Not sure if it was intended but i did find that you could remove just one block of the canal connected to the water source and only put it back when harvesting, this stops it from leaking all your water but still saves you from having to till all the ground again. Later it did seem that the water was more manageable.

Buildings: it would be nice if i could upgrade or move existing ones, instead of removing and repurchasing.
Side note, so far the cash flow feels pretty good, i havent felt limited or like i have way too much cash at any point 

Collection: not really sure how this works as of this comment, basically i just buy the amount from the shop and then give it to the collection to get the bonus? not sure if that is intended. I think maybe a better mechanic would be to not sell the mutated crops in the shop and only be able to get them from growing the regular crops, then the collection thing is just for mutated crops.
Also i am not sure how to get more stars, its possible i didnt make it far enough in the game yet

Crafting: took a while to figure out what it wanted cause i couldnt read the description but it looks like a lot of the rare stuff, i didnt have enough for anything it seems, what was the percentage for?

ha, just noticed the button in front of the water percent was to upgrade it, again its in a different language so i couldnt tell.

Here is where i stopped. I got the red cabbage legendary pretty early so was farming that (literally). I stopped just before the auto harvester for 3.2mil 

 

as for the rollercoaster of motivation i have had a similar experience with my game. I have a few IRL gaming friends that I have asked to test it and it seems like pulling teeth for them to do it so it makes me feel like its not worth perusing. I think this game you have here is worth perusing, looking forward to what you do with it!

keep thinking about how to make it better, it could possibly turn into a great game.
