NOTICE - There is music playing, but it may be kinda low ALSO NOTICE - When you get 5/5 crops, you haven´t won. You just have enough for buying a new plot.
Walk with left and right arrow keys. Press space when next to a plot to begin farming it. If a red exclamation mark appears in front of a plot, the crop has died. Plant a new crop by pressing space when standing in front of the plot. I a green exclamation mark appears in front of a plot the crop has finished growing. Harvest it and plant a new seed by pressing space when you stand in front of the plot.
When you have enough crops, walk into the house and press the down arrow key to buy a new plot. Instead of buying a sixth plot you will use the crops as fuel and take your rocket to space.
Watch out for the meteorites falling from the sky. One of them in the head and it´s game over. The house won't stop the meteors.
Random game-overs suck. The meteors fall *way* too fast to be able to dodge, and being inside the house doesn't help. This makes it a game of luck rather than skill.
I like it, but it's hard! The meteors are coming very fast, and I'd really expect the house to protect me. It's not obvious that we have to press "down" - perhaps just add the new plot automatically?
This needs a workover. Rocks are nearly impossible to dodge (maybe show a shadow on the ground before the rock falls down) and maybe add some more mechanics to it (watering the crops, so they don`t die instead of having them die randomly). At least it fits the theme! Good effort!
(Guys from the Dwindling Fire stream here) Whatever happened to Crappy Cropper D: Haha, just kidding man. It's a good start, just keep going and you'll get there! (: We all started somewhere and you're doing a really good job!
I really like this idea and it's incredibly difficult! As someone suggested in the comments, maybe a slight warning when a meteor is about to fall, if it falls directly above you and you are not already moving it's pretty much impossible to react in time. I managed to get to the second plot 6 out of 10 crops, and it took me 10 tries! With some tweaking to the balance I could see myself playing more of this! Good job!
Nice idea but there's a lot of stuff that is annoying for the player in the game. If you can smooth that stuff over with a re-design, plus spruce up the audio-visual side of things your next game could be cool.
