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.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll work on this

It could have told me that the game doesn't work on mobile before downloading all the assets

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.

Not sure what reality you live in, but NHS Emergency care is among the best in the world.

Not true at all, especially in this scenario (emergency), when you finally leave hospital there is no bill to pay for the treatment you received.

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

In fact if you do get private treatment in the UK they make it clear that if things go badly wrong they will take you to an NHS hospital.

Kinda reminds me of SimFarm, from back in the early 90's! Anyone else have fond memories of SimFarm?

I can't walk :D

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.

I gave up as soon as I saw the slow moving loading bar.
You need to really prioritize getting the player to something interesting on screen as quickly as possible and then loading things in the background.
A few seconds is all you get in this world, if you don’t sieze it, you’re internet roadkill.

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.

can I choose Lambo as tractor?

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.

I'm def going to sit down and try this out today but perhaps you could move the "mobile support" alert to happen before the asset loading progress bar :)
