Cucumbersome by jmf

[raw]
made by jmf for LD34 (COMPO)
A game about growing and collecting cucumbers with a two button control scheme. Ever thought Harvest Moon had too many buttons? Then this is the game for you!

Controls:
D to move right
Space to perform action (Either plant, harvest or water depending on context)

Running Instructions (Per-platform):
Windows:
Download and then extract the zip file to a folder (Do not try and run the download without extracting first as it will fail).
Run "cucumbersome.exe" in "build_win32" of the extracted folder.
Note: You may need to install openal prior to playing, it can be downloaded here: https://www.openal.org/downloads/oalinst.zip

Install runtime deps:

sudo dnf install SDL2 openal-soft jansson libpng12 freetype

And then the executable in build/ can be run.

Ubuntu Linux (64-bit) :
Install runtime deps:

sudo apt-get install libjansson4 libsdl2 libopenal1 libpng12 libfreetype6

And then the executable in build/ can be run.

To use it on my Ubuntu, I had to install "libjansson4".

Even if the game works now on my computer, the game display is too big on a laptop screen (1366x768) to be playable.

celisoft: Thanks for the info. I've updated the dependency list with that. Unfortunately I cannot lower the resolution or some of the text is unreadable. I'll keep that in mind for my next game though.

Thanks for the nice comments. :)

The Fedora build worked good for me on Arch Linux. Game felt polished within its scope. I liked the ability to upgrade at the end of day :)

A relaxing and pleasant game but a little boring.

good work, i went to the end even though I struggled to get 40 - im not sure if there was a penalty to button mashing, but that might be a good idea, i was able to do quite well initially just pressing dd [space] dd [space] dd [space] dd [space]
