Crop Drop by Heho

[raw]
made by Heho for Ludum Dare 52 (JAM)

Intro

One morning you wake up and realize to your surprise that you have become a farmer. Maybe you were before, but that doesn't matter now. The important thing is that you are standing in front of a farm and you are completely unaware of how to operate it. So you do what any responsible food producer does and read the farm's instruction manual.

Here you quickly learn that the proper use of the farm is relatively simple, at least the first of the hundreds of pages seem quite clear: you plant stuff like this, and then you harvest it. Some of the stuff grows better when planted next to other stuff.

So far so good. Now try to grow as much grain as possible and don't let the aliens steal your cows. Icon<em>Alien</em>01.png

The Game

This game is about planting and harvesting crops.

To win a level you need to reach the goal written at the top.

To plant crops or play an effect select a card on the right. Crops come as tiles. You need to find an empty slot on your field for them (red means it does not fit here). Click to drop the crops onto your field. Rotate a tile by pressing the right mouse button or using the buttons on the bottom of the screen

Crops on the field become harvested whenever a row or column is full. Each harvested crop will give you one dollar. You will get bonus points for * Wheat - The more wheat is in a row the more bonus points you get * Apples & Pears - Apples and pears generate extra points when they are adjacent to each other

Effects

  • Watering Pot: Crop on selected field will spread to free neighboring fields.
  • Spade: Remove crops on all fields covered by the tile. YouWin_01.png

I liked the satisfying tetris-like feel to this game. There seems to be a performance issue where the music starts breaking up, but overall, I enjoyed the puzzle game! Great job!

This was a pretty decent game! There were a few bugs here and there such as the level not ending when you reach the goal at the top, but for a game jam game this was pretty decent! Good job!

I love the tetris theme! Took me a minute to figure it out, but once I did I was hooked. I don't think the win condition for level two or 3 are working, but it was fun to just play plant tetris!

100% agree with ThunfischEis, great game!. One thing i noticed though was on the second play through the audio would start glitching a little when i placed tiles. Overall neat idea and excellent work!.

I like this tetris-like style. Even though I read the description, it took a short while to get used to the game. The crops and the field look good. However, I achieved the goal in level 2, but the level simply continued. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the game. Sometimes the sound seemed to start lagging a bit, but this could also be my computer :D

Just one little bug:

I am still counting that as a win :laughing:

The music was calm and fitting.

Overall a fun little game!

Nice entry, it's indeed quite satisfying to complete rows and do combos with different types of crops!

I really like 2D assets visual stylization! 3D graphics is also great, but I prefer do not mix these styles. But overall, fantastic style! I also like idea behind gameplay.

Nice game that makes me think of a mix between a card game and Tetris. The music was also good, even though it was lagging sometimes. The game was very easy to understand and had a clear goal. I like that different crops have various effects. Additionally, finishing a row is satisfying. However, it is troublesome when you do not get any apples on the second level. I got 239 points before my first apple. Also, like Phillip Scott wrote, reaching the goal does not complete level 2, which is seen in the picture below:

It was a great game overall. Wonderful work!
