Nature Garden by redmountainman1

[raw]
made by redmountainman1 for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

A demigod stuck on a stranded island with nothing but the power to CLICK.

Click to harvest plants as they grow, get 500 points, try to make them grow faster with special demigod abilities.

This is a simple clicker game. Plants will grow and you have to harvest them when they are ripe, but before they die! You are a demigod and can control some natural events, such as bee swarms, cow swarms and rain. These can help your little island grow if done at the right time.

[MECHANICS SPOILER]

  • rain: causes more plants to sprout
  • bees: doubles the number of flowers
  • cows: eat flowers, poop resource-rich mushrooms

Nice game :)

It wasn't really clear to me, what effect bees and cows had. As mentioned above, the rain is quite powerful.

P.S.: On firefox it prints the following errors to consone and won't play:
- [UnityCache] 'https://v6p9d9t4.ssl.hwcdn.net/html/1695933/nature_garden_0.4_web/Build/nature_garden_0.4_web.data.unityweb' successfully downloaded but not stored in the indexedDB cache due to the error: Error: indexedDB access denied
- Invoking error handler due to

Thanks y'all. I added some descriptions to explain the rain, bees and cows a bit better, since it's not very clear in the game what is really going on.

It was nice to see everything growing! :slight_smile: I could see what the cows did without reading the explanation tho! My game has flowers too! ;D

I liked seeing everything grow :sunflower: . I really like the pixel art, but I wish there were more things to buy or maybe the map could be proceduraly generated. Good job. :thumbsup:

I like how simple this is. The UI was easy to interpret, and it looks nice too.

I'm not sure if it was just my computer, but the click hot spot was slightly lower than I expected

Nice game, I liked how you couldn't leave plants too long or they would die. It would be cool if you could start getting some sort of automation of collecting points.

Nice simple game. One moment I have way to many flowers to handle. The next they are all dead and a swarm of cows flies across the sky. Good job.

Ah, great entry! Somehow, it was really relaxing experience and reminded me of Simmiland. With different terrain, island size and terrain, I think you really have a clicker game!
