The fabulous Christmas spirit, one would say. Not me though.\r\n\r\nThis game is satire, it was a laugh to make (that's a lie, it was hell, why would anyone make a resource management game in 2 days?!) and it turned out, kind of finished, and by that I mean, not at all how I want it to be as most of the systems are incomplete and a little buggy... But ... let's focus on the positives.\r\n\r\nThe goal is to essentially make money, grow your lovely little 'Christmas trees' and sell the produce to your de... customers, the only way to lose is to run out of money, which I can't see happening... I had intended to have a system where cops would try and arrest you and you had to like, do things to avoid it etc...\r\n\r\nControls are pretty simple, pretty much just left click things, navigate around the phone, not much their, but might be a little confusing.\r\n\r\nI hope my game doesn't offend you and that you see the comedy I was attempting at,\r\n\r\nCheers!\r\n\r\nI'll come back tomorrow to try get the web version up.\r\n\r\nEDIT: Just an extra bit of info, best growing potential is when the trees stats are green, this is around 30 for temp and 40 for water. The green button in the plant info screen will harvest the plant after it's grown a certain amount (quite vague) and light increases temp, open windows\/watering to decrease it!","title":"Super 'Christmas Tree' Tycoon"}
