Very cool! Immediately understandable with an addictive game loop!
Nicely done! Quite pleasing sounds/music. I wanted to delay the win in order to optimise farming which was nice. I think I won by error message:
@skipperd Thank you for playing! After winning, there's an option to continue playing. I'm sorry you got that error after winning; I just updated the cart with a fix :)
I feel like it's pretty quick as long as you know how interest works, but it could take quite a while if you don't max your payments.
Still I wouldn't want to have to play much longer in a single sitting. Overall it's very fun and approachable, good job and thanks for sharing!
I ended up clearing the loan with only one level in to each main tool, and a few pips of enlarging the harvest hopper.
Obviously it's light-hearted and silly fun, but olives don't generally grow where rapeseed is grown. Beans, barley and wheat would all make more sense. For that matter, if you ever plan on building this out further (maybe on picotron?), adding those as different crops with different prices and times to maturity would be fun :)
