A game about asteroids, goat plagues and love.
First time I did LD all by myself, since Anneroos is in Istanbul for a course. I did not have time to make any music, but I'm happy I finished.

SUMMARY OF THE MECHANICS
Use the arrow keys. More controls are unlocked as the game progresses. You have to protect your asteroid against incoming meteors.
Roots spread through your asteroid from the heartroot, which provides them with food.
Roots cannot grow near eachother.
Roots grow only once, but you can reseed them if they have enough food (press 'F').
When a root reaches the border of the asteroid, a starflower grows on it. Starflowers generate sundancers that bring food to the heartroot.
Goats eat sunflowers and turn them into asteroid (the goats have severe constipation). This helps you grow your asteroid against the rain of meteors. You can buy a goat with 'D'.
There are limits to the reach of heartroot nourishing; you can take food from a heartroot with 'A' and use it to create a new heartroot on a normal root somewhere else with 'S'.
Good luck!
And never mind the pseudophysics.
