Ranked from 12 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

Theme Implementation
Since the theme is around the study of plants, I thought I'd make a game where you learn some facts about various vegetables

Special Object addition
The shovel is implied through the digging mechanic. I chose vegetables that grow underground to justify why you're digging things up

What tools and 3rd party assets did you use?
All assets used are listed in the description

How did you use generative AI?

Short but enjoyable, the music slider didnt work

Developer

Ah, that was my fault. I was trying to make sure the digging patch worked and forgot to test the slider. Turned out the background was absorbing mouse clicks on the slider. Hopefully the music wasn't too loud for you.
