| Pot | Use grown plants on it to add them to the cooked recipe. Can be placed next to a fire to make it cook. Take it off the fire when the exclaimating mark appears, otherwise it will start to burn after a while and the ingredients are gone! Can be grown using Potted Plant seeds. |
| Fire | Can be started by using a grown Jalaburno plant on the floor. Can heat up pots and other items. Increase the heat (and duration) by placing another Jalaburno next to it. |

| Guest | Guests will ask for a specific recipe. Cook it for them and interact with them while holding the pot/ plate with it to get the amount of coins they are offering. |
| Snail | Will try to eat your precious plants! It doesn't like being hit by a thrown Chilly or Jalaburno. Also you can push it away temporarily to prevent it from finishing to eat a plant. |

Congratulations on making this game !
I've played your game during a live that you can watch here :
The live is timestamped so you can go directly to your game.
I hope the feedback and live reactions will be useful. Keep it up !
Wasn't able to get very far, but it was fun experimenting and figuring out the game systems. I like the use of shaders to implement the day night system and some pretty nice water reflections! I've often thought about making a minimal harvest moon clone, and this is an awesome implementation of that! Great work
Great music! A little confusing but still fun
I really like the design and idea of the game, but it would be helpful to have some more directions as I wasn't sure what some of the items were.
Thanks!
We have now implemented item names in the top left corner, that should help already. We have also added some item and mechanic descriptions to this page.
