GrowPotato by RedSounding

[raw]
made by RedSounding for LD26 (COMPO)
GmaeMaker. It's a dumb game that I submitted because I just wanted to say I finished a game. Plus, the theme was minimalism, so this is a, ahem, minimal game.

Post Analysis:

One, don't make a game where 'learning the math' is part of the development process. It won't work.

Two, don't drink. Drink makes things like 'Grow a Potato' happen. BAD BAD BAD.

Three, when you realize you have a problem, begin creating something new if that problem seems more complex than a few minutes. I had issues with my original idea, and I knew I couldn't fix it easily, and yet I slogged on trying and trying. The 'knew I couldn't fix it' part was critical and I should have switched to an even simpler idea.

Finale! I apologize. I now must make a game for LD27 that is really good to compensate. And I WILL!!!!!

I think it would be more minimalist as an animated gif file.
