Biofuel is a Harvest Moon like game. Your task is to fuel the space station with biofuel by growing and harvesting plants. You can carry only one tool at the same time and you have only one day to give your best in harvesting!
The game requires .NET 4 and XNA 4:

You can play the game with the keyboard or the gamepad likewise (tested with a xbox 360 gamepad).
Write your score (the amount of biofuel gathered) into the comments or tell me them via twitter (@StevenColling) - my record was 166 liter!

The game shows short help texts and the controls, but if you have problems with the game, here is a little introduction.
I recommend to skip the following and to discover the game on your own.
1. Cultivate land with the shovel by walking over the fields (which have a white border) and pressing C (keyboard) or X (gamepad).
2. Go to the console at the top.
3. Select one of the seed types with Space/Return or A/B on the gamepad, e.g. the carrot seeds.
4. Walk to the cultivated land and press C (or X with gamepad) for throwing the seeds.
5. Get the watering tool at the console...
6. ...and use it on the plant seeds.
7. After a while (time runs only if you are moving or if you stand on the platform in the center), the carrot reachs its next state and needs to be watered again.
8. After a couple of stages, the ready carrots have green sparkles. Get the scythe and harvest them.
9. Bring the harvest back to the console to tranform it directly to fuel.
