Audio was not possible due to the time.
Thanks for playing ! :D
Controls are simple I think?
Just Mouse + 1-5, WASD and E ? ^^ how can I make this any simpler?
Anyway, thank you a lot for playing my game :)
However, please keep in mind the audio wasn't implemented in the compo-version, so remember that when rating the game! ;-)
A good attempt for 48 hrs.
Oh yeah, also there was a bit of information overload at the start of the game and I couldn't really remember it all. It would have been better to have introduced the information gradually (if possible).
@QXD-me: well, now, after the compo, I can fully understand your opinion regarding the theme. I think I neglected the theme in the game itself while tring to have it in my title. At first, my start screen wasn't that full, later on I added more lines, so I can see what you mean. Nowadays, thers a help menu in the pause menu, but you are right if you don't rate that, because this was added in the post-compo version ;-)
Thanks for playing my game! :D
Thank you all! :D
@philhassey: Yes, some rocks (other stuff too) will fly to locations you can't reach, that's because of the function that blocks movement. I didn't want the player to be half-visible on the screen, so I blocked the movement on edge tiles. What do you mean by carrot-growing? The strawberries? ^^
@Milo: Yeah, that's what I saw too, the berries are the most effective plant. However, the game is unbalanced due to the time :P
@Aaron: Yes, I see those links can be distracting. The thing is, I don't want people to play buggy games, when there is a fixed version. There were several bugs I encountered when testing, so I fixed them, and on the way, added sound. So when rating the game, sound shouldn't be rated, cause in the compo-version there is none.
Thanks everyone for playing! :D
PS: Why is there an increasing number of gametesters when the time runs out? ^^
This.
@Tifu: I'm happy you liked it!
@kibertoad: I see the text in the start menu can be overwhelming. That's why I inserted the help texts in the pause menu ;-) (This is post-compo though)
I don't know if it fits the theme that well.
I like the graphics, simple and clear.
@demonpants: Seems to be an urge need for simple instructions here :D fine:
Mouse: Attack
WASD/Arrows: Move
E/NUM 0: Uproot
(NUM) 1-5: Sow
P: Pause/Help
^^
Thank you, everyone playing my game! :D
