That's a really nice game. Initially, I was a little overwhelmed at the complexity, but I soon figured out that I didn't have to understand all the nuances to play. I also failed at 45 weeks on my first go.
I'm not convinced you could last forever. Rent is constantly increasing, but your ability to generate money is limited. I'm not entirely sure, but I think the game will always end at some point. It's nicely balanced however. I felt under pressure to make the rent each time it was due, and only once had a comfortable amount of money from the sale of a $5000+ orchid. I also got lucky with sheers and a bonsai tree which was worth around $4000 I think.
Beautifully presented with top notch art, sound and gameplay.
My main niggles are minor, but important:
- When it gets busy I can't see the prices at a glance. Sure, I can hover over them to see a pop-up panel. I'd like to be intuitively aware of how the prices are affected though.
- It would be lovely to have visual feedback of where you're clicking. Just a simple rollover would probably work. I would click on taller plants, sheers etc and find I wasn't selecting them, or I'd select the wrong thing. This minor annoyance took me out of flow several times, and would be pretty easy to address.
Well done, a great entry!
