I made 16k here, but i need more events and features, probably more people and more situations. Great game btw

I love this game so much. I got so into it I didn't even notice half an hour had passed. I think it would be so rewarding to get indicators when you make $x dollars, like first 10k and there's a little celebration. 

To make cows less OP maybe they could have a milking life cycle, so after a while they either die or you need to sell them as they don't make any more milk. Or something less depressing - run away (this can be at random so there is more risk of buying cow - they could run away before you milk them).

This was nice, I think the cow gives a bit too much money for the cost but I did have a fun. thanks for making and sharing

Nice idea and concept but it is flawed. There is no point in buying expensive land as cows are way easier to maintain and make money faster. Once you have a cow, you can not loose, I think.

The actions get interrupted for no apparent reasons, for example if you set 3 milk to "sell", some of them will just stop selling. Likewise when you buy something. 

Also the timers should stop when you make an action. For example there is no point to race against the timer of the bills. If you are too late, then there is no point in waiting for the timer to deplete while the "pay" action is running.

For the cart, the race against the timer is even buggy: If you buy too late, the cart will disappear and the progress bar will get stuck and stay on screen doing nothing.

Also cows are OP

also the music gets a little disoriented once you scroll down to the comments

can you cancel the buying of something in the farm? 

Umm is this supposed to happen?

Definitely fun once you get into the rhythm of things!

Once I got a rhythm, I felt like I could play for forever. I can't tell if there's an end state. Does buying land actually do anything?

Hey, that's great! You should be able to plant and harvest in twice the speed, because there are two lands!

What a beautiful and depressing game.

I went bankrupt every time, hahaha! 

Just like in real life
