Welcome to Goba Day, where you can become a Goba Farmer and help feed the people of Goba land during the drought.


As a skilled Goba Farmer, it is your duty to grow and harvest as many Gobas as possible. The Gobas are the only fruit that thrive during the drought, so it is up to you to ensure that the people of Goba land have enough to eat.


Every five years, it's Goba Day! Everybody loves Goba Day! Hopefully you have a Goba for everybody? DO YOU? Are you ready to Goba Goba and save the day?

I love population sims. This one spoke to me a lot about life :)
I also really like the pace, the music, and the environmental aesthetics.
Impressive for 3 days of development.

YaenGames responds:

Thank you a lot! Glad you liked our little game so much :)

It was fun

Pretty good. Though it's unclear at what age people are supposed to die of age and not of hunger and how to get this to understand what you doing wrong?
Okay, I guess I figured it out more or less...

YaenGames responds:

Thank you for the kind review & rating! When people die even though you fed them, it's counted as dying of old age. If they die when you haven't fed them, it's a hunger death. People have a higher and higher likelyhood to die of old age, depending on their age.
