This is the first time I've participated in a Ludum Dare contest. I didn't have time to add all the functionality I wanted, but I think it turned out OK anyway!
This game was made to look and feel like a Commodore 64 game, thus the low res graphics!
Description:
You are Rex Helianthus, protector of the sunflowers. Your mission is to protect a rare specimen of an ancient sunflower seed. Guard it from insects, birds and weeds by using BB guns and insecticides like DDT as it grows. You only have this one seed, so make sure it develops fully!
Controls:
Escape - Quits the game
Mouse - Aims crosshair
Left click - Uses selected item
1 - Selects item Water can, used to keep your plant hydrated.
2 - Selects the Anti-weed powder, used to get rid of weeds.
3 - Selects insecticide, used to kill all sorts of bugs.
4 - Selects the BB gun, perfect to kill birds with.
In game description:
-PLANT HYDRATION indicates the hydration state of the plant. Green means good, yellow ok and red when it's dehydrated. Use the water can when it's red to water it!
-STATE indicates the plants stage. When you reach state 8 you've won!

The plant will evolve if it's not under attack or hydrated.

Enjoy!
