Spin Mill Hill is a submission for the GMTK Game Jam 2026

Evil Lord Berdy has stolen all the food in the land! Its up to you to prevent mass starvation! Unfortunately, you only know how to do two things: Plant or Harvest! And you must do one or the other each day, no exceptions! But with forward thinking, powerful crops, and a little help from a pig, these two skills can feed the world! The countdown to your demise has already begun, but the remaining days are full of surprises and opportunities you can seize to grow your farm and your future. Reap what you sow atop Spin Mill Hill!

TIPS

-You can plant multiple crops in a day! All crops in the same stage of growth (sprouting, flowering, fruiting, or dying) are harvested together.

-Look ahead at the days in the calendar in the top right corner to plan ahead what are the best days to harvest or plant.

-Different crops are better during different stages of growth! Plant crops together that are best when harvested at the same time. Read each crops yield by mousing over them.

-Use fertilizer to plant crops in future stages to make the most out of special days or big harvests.

-Farm buildings can provide powerful bonuses if you use them right! Read what they do and shape your playstyle around them to maximize their potential.

-Leftover food from each quota is carried over to the next season!
