    Maybe this could be good but it needs a lot of optimization. A top down 2D game really shouldn't be that slow even in a browser. It's also very unclear what to do at the start. I only played for a few minutes because I didn't really know where to begin. My only comparison would be to Harvest Moon or Stardew valley where you're given some tasks immediately to get you started. Even a very short intro would help a lot to just get you started on the first game mechanics. Without anything to do a lot of people are just going to bounce off of it especially since moving around the world is so sluggish that it isn't even fun to just walk around and explore the farm.

    I blew up the tractor and paid 10k for hospital treatment. I know the NHS is on its knees but sheesh

      This is the American Dream I’ve been hearing about

      If you want to actually get treatment, you need to pay.

        You definitely do not need to pay to get acute injuries treated.

    Very cool! Just as constructive feedback, I feel like the physics could improve a bit (walking through the wheels and buckets, seeing the contents inside the garage but not seeing anything when under the silos etc.), but the details are great, love the mud on the tractor tracks when leaving a field, and the car beams when blocking the path.

    It's going to be a spreadsheet and a bunch of impenetrable PDFs, isn't it?

      That’s my favourite kind of game! Management simulation. Hate it IRL, love it for games.

    Doesn’t work on mobile sadly, but I do love (the Swiss) Farming Sims :P I’ll give it a go on desktop later and give some feedback.
