Cauliflower Power by Librorumque64

[raw]
made by Librorumque64 for LD 41 (COMPO)

Stealth + Farming. Grow cauliflower and don't get caught.

Hotfix: second level was unbetable, now it's fixed. I've listened to the feedback and slowed the time down a bit, but everthing scaled proportionally, so puzzle difficulty isn't affected. That's the most I can do without breaking jam rule. If you find the game too hard, there's a walkthrough in the downloads section!

Use arrows to play and Z key to restart. Move all water buckets to the marked places. You can push them, but not pull. If a guard sees you, you lose. You can hide behind a bucket!

Looks pretty nice! I really dig the work you put into the graphics, they really make the game shine.
Too bad I can't get past the first level. I put all the bucks on the crosses but I can't do much more. First time, I got to move and do stuff but I didn't know what to do, and the second time, I was just stuck after putting the last bucket and couldn't move. :/

@Eiyeron AAAAAAAAAAA. I accidentally removed the victory check along with debugging code at the very last moment. Now it's fixed. Thanks a lot!

I really like this game - very polished as has been said. I would say add some audio and start getting some $$$. I told heard the Pokemon Blue trainer encounter music when I got caught (it's that exclamation point).

That's not a coincidence! Plan A was Poker-mon. On day 2 I began to overanalyze and scraped that idea :neutral_face: . That's also why there's that dialog box. I ran out of time for audio unfortunately. I will surely add it before uploading it to SURF catalog.

Even if puzzle game aren't my favourite, this one is really well made ! Nice graphics as well. The game could use some easier levels though. Good job !

Well done!

This game is simply challenging for me! BUT in a good way, I had to time pushing my buckets so I won't get caught xD cute graphic as well! It's a fun game eventhough I find myself to struggle with it!

Great graphics!! Perfect for a cute farming-based game.

Pretty creative with the tactic of pushing water buckets to the plants to water them. Wouldn't have thought of that, myself! I like that having the buckets also makes this into a puzzle game.

Obviously the game looks and feels amazing! The only problem is that it is way to hard 😞

Pretty sweet, perhaps a bit hard

I got kinda stucked on the third level. The game looks very good!

My only complain is that sometimes is hard to know wich way the bad guys are looking (left/right).

Apart from that great game!

Great game! The idea is well executed, and the graphics are very well done, especially for a jam game. The game was challenging and fun. The only problem I had with it is that the only thing that makes it a farming game is the theme of the graphics and "story", because it is pretty much just a stealth game gameplay-wise (but a well made one!).

Stealth and a farming sokoban, haha. Nice.

Really really really love it, this is the most awesome box pusher game I've ever played. I mean it was like "hey yet another box pusher game" and then after a minute it was like "aaaaaa I'm stuck I'm death f***". Very good one to play with friends (alternatively), was great laugh!

This is a really nice little puzzle game - the two mechanics go together really well.

Not my type of puzzle game, was very bad at it but enjoyed it in the end! The stealth aspect was quite fun, and love the small details like them getting a exclamation-mark and running towards you when they see you and the small references.

Reminds me of the Pokemon boulder puzzles, but instead of battling upon getting caught you lose. I enjoyed it for a little while, nice one :]

Nice game :smiley: I would like to see more farming and less puzzle but that's just my preference.
Overall is a pretty good game :thumbsup:

That was really cool. I like the artstyle, and combining stealth with box-pushing is a real cool idea for a game. You executed it really well too. Nice work!

Nice looking game and secretly planting cauliflower cracks me up. Stealth Sokoban is a combination that actually works really well (so I guess not that incompatible!) I found it really hard though, partly because I kept pushing buckets too far in order to get out of sight of the farmer. Nice work, great art style. First TIC-80 game I"ve played, I think I'll look into it more. I made my LD41 game in Pico-8 and loved the challenge but its tiny!

Nice game though I think it's more of a puzzle-stealth game than farming

The HTML5 version didn't seem to work... but I'm happy I decided to download the TIC80 program and play it! The puzzles were not too challenging, for the most part, and I like the humor you put in the game. Only bug I saw was with the chase sequence, where the guy finishes his patrol by zooming off-screen through the bushes in a straight line... No idea if that was intentional. Art's also pretty spiffy! Well done, overall!

that was a very cool little game, great levels and good increase of difficulty, only some music would have rounded this one up
