The entire game was made in around 12 hours.\r\n\r\nLudum Dare 34 had a tie between two themes: \"Two Button Controls\" and \"Growth\". I chose to incorporate both themes into this game, because they seemed to compliment each other nicely.\r\n\r\nUse the left and right arrow keys (two buttons!) to guide your growing plant to victory. Try and get the highest score possible, and then brag about it to your friends. Or if you don't have any friends, you can tweet your high score to me @TheCherno, and I'll be your friend.\r\n\r\nMusic was made by me in around 40 minutes from conception to completion, which has to be some kind of record. You can find it here: https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/thecherno\/growth-ludum-dare-34\r\n\r\nYou can find me via the links below:\r\n\r\nYouTube: http:\/\/youtube.com\/TheChernoProject\r\nTwitter: http:\/\/twitter.com\/TheCherno\r\nFacebook: http:\/\/facebook.com\/TheCherno\r\n\r\nThe development of the game from start to finish was streamed live on http:\/\/twitch.tv\/TheCherno\r\n\r\nThanks for playing! <3","title":"Growth"}
