Had a lot of fun learning about strawberries while killing my finger XD You nearly got me to restart to aim for my strawberry plant LOL Bravo on the art and simplicity of the game as a solo dev !!! I can't wait for your next gamejam submission :D

Odd, idk if you`ve noticed but you could've used your spacebar as well. I feel devious for letting you play with your mouse only... >:)

made the same type of game in my previous jam ٩( ᐢᗜᐢ)ㅅ(ᐢᗜᐢ )و

We're basically twinning then! :P

I'm so glad I could use the space bar.  I think the very first stage could have been a bit shorter, just so the player gets confirmation quicker.  

Did leave me wondering; since most recipes I can think of mash or mix them down, are there many recipes where having an abnormally large strawberry would matter? not that I've made much myself, typically just eat 'em fresh.  I was ready to grab a few after the first plump, you're more patient with those strawberries than I am

Developer

I think if you make a jam with some of the strawberry pieces still in-tact, you don't have to break them down as much. A fruit salad would also have rather large pieces in it. But I guess the size just comes down to preference and HOW MUCH of the recipe you want to make. I usually also eat them fresh, but I also eat a lot, so I guess I would technically prefer larger berries! ʕ·͡ᴥ·ʔ

I'm getting flashbacks to my cookie clicker days...

Great work, really good scope for a single dev, very clever to centre the game around a simple mechanic. The art is absolutely gorgeous!

Also, how dare you not give me the name of your superb executive producer.

Developer

I know I made a grave mistake of not naming my producer. BUT she is called Meggy and she's the cutest cat around! (I might be biased.)

I love the simple art style! It was fun to see the strawberry grow and learn lots of fun facts.

Neat! I love strawberries, so I appreciated the random strawberry facts. Obviously there isn't much to it as an idle clicker, but the art is very pretty, the dialogue is a nice touch and the music complements it well. Good job!

Developer

Thank you a lot for taking the time to play ♥

Let's stop for a moment or two and consider the strawberry, shall we? I used 2 finger mouse button technique. Fascinating!

Really cool to see all the fun facts about strawberries! Cool idea all around, and i'm glad to see that the space bar was also an option to be able to click the plant instead of only being able to click the mouse. accessibility!!

congrats on the submission :)

I loved learning all the facts about strawberries, though I now see why it's called numb thumb after all that spam clicking lol. I wish we could've seen some really plump strawberries grow on the plant, like the ones in the cover art!

 (p.s. your executive producer and QA did an amazing job they deserve a treat ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧)

Hey there Sophie, I actually wanted to make the game longer and give the player the JUICIEST of strawberries.... but I ran out of time. :(

Thanks for playing the game!!! I might work a bit on more art and coding and complete it in the way it was intended.

(Meggy is definitely getting a really good treat and lots of cuddles ♥)

a simple game that nailed the theme, I had lots of fun learning about strawberries!

Developer(+1)

Aww, I hoped people have fun albeit the simplicity of the game's loop. Thank you for playing ♥
