The only asset I did not make from scratch was the test font.

I liked the idea, but had trouble understanding that I had to click the dirt patch at first to plant a seed. After I grew my first plant, I got hunted by 20 angry cacti - men :D Is there some sort of win condition to the game, or is it only surviving at the moment?

Developer

It’s currently just surviving. Sorry, I should have made the instructions clearer.

I like the idea. I think that a sort of progressbar for the night-day cycle would be nice

Developer

I wanted to add a timer node that told you the time, but I couldn’t get it to work in time so I got rid of it

Couldn't get the watering to work unfortunately but I really enjoyed the art! Also the music made me feel like something really strange was going on which is very good for the theme 

Developer

Thank you! Also to water, you left click to place seeds on the dirt patch (I tried to make multiple but ran out of time), then you use the water

I couldn't figure out how to water plants. I saw the little green shoots which I thought was them, but firing water at them didn't see to do anything

Developer

You can left click to place seeds, and the seeds only grow in the dirt patch. Sorry I didn’t explain or add more dirt, I ran out of time.
