Landscape Manager by jacquouille

[raw]
made by jacquouille for LD 43 (COMPO)

This game was made in 48h during the Ludum Dare 43 game jam.

In this game you'll play as an applier for the role of Lead Landscape Developpment Architect Manager. You'll be tested on your skill : use your mouse to cut down unnecessary leaves, and try to get the requested number of flowers. This game is quite hard, you should expect to restart some levels a couple of times.

Here is a gif of the first level : level1.gif

Unfortunately, the game doesn't display the current level number, so as a reference you can find a screenshot of all levels in this imgur album : https://imgur.com/a/CbY2udw. Please don't look at it if you haven't already tried the game to avoid spoiler.

Tools used : Unity, Audacity, Bfxr, Bosca Ceoil, PyxelEdit, Aseprite.

I've never done any Mac or Linux build before and couldn't test them so please tell me if it doesn't work, I'll fix it as soon as possible !

EDIT 15/12 : Now with an Android build ! Since the gameplay appeared to be designed for touch screens, and since some people asked for it, I learned how to use touch as input and made it into an APK. It was pretty easy to do (like, only 4 lines of code to add) and it plays very well (a little easier though).

Some known (minor) bugs : - for some reason the web version displays a line in level 1. It's an object I've deleted from the hierarchy a long time ago. I have no idea why it's still popping here. - when restarting a level, sometimes your life will have an initial small decrease. It's not much of an annoyance though, and it might disappear if you try the level once again.

Nice concept! Easy and quick to get started. The sound design is great. The first 2/3 levels could be quicker though and the "score meter" better explained.

I enjoyed playing this game. It was challenging - but yet not so difficult - until the level 7, which is a real deal: I never had the possibility to play further. Also, I didn't really understand the mechanics of the game, but it does not make it less pleasant to play.

this is a fun game. the concept is nice. I really enjoyed the music. It's challenging, but not too much ( at least until level 7-8, after that I lost my mind )
Maybe it would be interesting to try it out on tablet ? I'm sure it would be a lot of fun, maybe even more than playing with your mouse.
It would also be nice to know the level we're in.
good job !

it is a very interesting game, the apparent simplicity brings a real challenge. Unfortunately I must be too bad because cause I can not finish the levels!
I think this game could be on mobile, with a little redesign ! A very nice Idea! it's a very pleasant game!
Bravo!
