I couldn't find GRASS on the site where the web link went to. It would be a lot easier for people if you embedded the link directly to your game though.

Hi, nice game and congratulations ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure how to play this game..?

Not sure what I should be doing, or how to interact with objects. Some instructions / readme / tutorial would be nice. Thanks!

Sorry, but you should really add instructions. I found some things out by trial and error, but I couldn't really do anything as I didn't know how. The concept sounds nice though and the graphics are good.

No idea how to play, or what the fuck is going on, UI was tiny, and there wasn't really any feedback for interaction.

I'm really not sure how this game works, some sort of tutorial would help. Could use some more audio design (sound effects, ambience, music, etc.), and a more responsive control and interaction system. Good concept though.

I was attracted to it by how it looked and I still do love that, however as a game it completely fell flat mainly because I couldn't figure out what to do at all. Perhaps a tutorial could help?


And we played your game over on twitch too! Check it out here: https://www.twitch.tv/cantgetourname/v/88793643
