Bad seeds by Gildar76
You are a gardener and you need to keep yourself alive by growing and harvesting plants. There's a catch though. The seeds are poisonous and the more of them you carry around the more they'll hurt you.
Known issues: - Game name currently not showing up in web version (on menu) - Some weird collision issues.
Controls: A/d, space to interact with plants.
Thinks that went wrong.
- I had a very vague idea of what I wanted to do, so took me a while to get started.
- Since I didn't have a clear goal, I ended up doing a few things early, and stuck to them, even though they should have been replaced early on.
- This was intended for the jam, but didn't have time to finish it on Sunday.
- The music, well. I couldn't come up with something retro enough, so I just made the current tune.
Tools
Unity, Photoshop, Reaper (and some free VSTs). I also used blender early on, but not much left of that in the current version.

I quickly found a way to kinda break the game and manage to survive infinitely by planting the initial seeds, eating all but one, waiting for the seeds to pop, collect at least 3-4, eat the plan that produces seeds, plant the seeds, and so forth and so on. So your mechanic doesn't seem to work and the game is then quite repetitive since there is an optimal and unique solution to master it. But the concept behind this mechanic is really interesting and could work with some modifications I suppose perhaps with a faster incrementation of the hunger jauge, I don't know. Thanks for the game!

A HP bar above the player would have been nice or better audio indication when you are about to die. Otherwise interesting concept and good effort.

I felt that the music did not fit the gameplay. I think that you need to show how hunger effects the health.
