Gameplay Video

It’s a farm sim + Pong/Breakout mashup.

3 actions to select from: 

1. WATER
2. HAND with SEED (to plant a seed)
3. HAND (to harvest a beet)

After an action is selected, launch the “ball” and start farming.

You can only do up to 3 actions at a time (3 “balls” to juggle at a time).

Decide which 3 actions are you going to do at any time.

Drop off an action (literally, drop off the ball) that you don’t need to make space for an action that you do need.

1. Water costs money. 
2. Planting a seed costs money and makes you hungry. 
3. Harvesting a beet makes you hungry.

Using a hand with seed to plant a seed, once the seed is planted, it will turn into just a hand for harvesting a beet.

So if you want to harvest a fully grown beet, instead of using just a hand, you can launch a hand with seed to plant a seed, then it'll turn into just a hand that can pick up the grown beet too. Doing this saves you a little from hunger.

You need to water your seeds so that they’ll grow. They’ll also wilt if they lose all their moisture.

Tiles too, dry up gradually, and moisture can be maintained in the tiles by constantly watering them.

Tiles with plants on them dry up faster then tiles without.

When your beet are fully grown, you can harvest them.

1. Juggling a harvested beet to the bowl at the bottom left corner would fill your hunger.
2. Juggling it to the shipment box at the bottom right corner would sell it for money.

You also have to pay your ever increasing tax dues every 30 in-game months (seconds in real life).
