Veggie Tamer is a monster taming game where instead of capturing the monsters you have to defeat them to gather seeds and then grow them on arable land.

• Z = Watering Can to water planted seeds
• X = Plant a random seed from your inventory
• C = Reap a plant and add it to your party
• Enter = Pause and view seed inventory

NOTE: You might have to click on the game view for it to start? Seems to be a new thing at least in Chrome

How to add veggie monsters to your party:

• Defeat a veggie monster to get seeds
• Press X in the wavy ground tiles (fertile land) area to plant seeds
• Press Z to use your watering can on the seeds and spawn a "tame" veggie
• Step a little close and press C to harvest the plant
• When you next enter a battle you can check the "Party" menu to switch to that veggie

Caveats: - Seeds tossed on non arable tiles will be lost :( - If your party is full, reaping a plant will still make it disappear but won't add it to your party - Your current seeds can be viewed on the pause menu, seeds will be planted in the order you see on the inventory screen

There is no story so you can just have fun wandering, battling, and collecting these rambunctious plants. There are 11 different kinds to encounter!

Veggie Tamer was developed for the GameTank open source console, but you can play it on the web emulator.

Existing GameTank game Accursed Fiend was used as a base engine with all assets stripped out.

TOOLS USED: - cc65 compiler - NodeJS for build scripts - Aseprite for graphics - FLStudio as overkill midi editor - GameTank Emulator to let you play it on web and PC

LAST MINUTE BUGFIXES: - The planted seed cache for the current map wasn't clearing between rooms which would have eventually blocked the growth of veggies. - Random seed selection was crashing when planting seeds so now it plants seeds from your pocket in lowest type number first - Party selection wasn't appearing as intended after player veggie KO - Undersized mob pool meant that if you planted more than one veggie the first ones might disappear so that was increased - Party veggie was getting resurrected after KO accidentally
