Bargain Bonsai!
As the Bargain Bonsai shop owner, it is your quest to have the BEST DAY EVER.
Help your customers prune their bonsai trees to perfection! Use the left/right arrow keys to guide your clippers for tree trimming. Satisfy as many customers as possible. Your business day will end after 3 angry customers.
4th LD compo entry, great time as always! This time I picked an idea that was a little more narrow in scope, and felt like my scheduling was much better this time around. I also tried to take the game art in a direction that's uncomfortable to me. Not happy with it yet, but there is improvement I believe. Overall happy with the way things turned out, the polygon math is working as expected (mostly, bugfixed a bug that I was not able to reproduce, best type), I feel like I was able to "finish" within reason, and enjoyed doing a style of game that was new to me. If I had more time, I would have liked to make a more cohesive "end" to the game, like some results screen, or anything other than a game restart...
Talk to you all soon!
Tools:
Unity (c#, Visual Studio)
Photoshop
sfxr

ClipperLib (polygon math library)
Note: I felt weird using the music that I didn't make myself, it was made using a generator (which the rules advised was allowed/"encouraged"). From my research, this generator is legitimate. Info found here: http://www.jacoballred.com/free-stuff/fake-music-generator/ If I actually am somehow violating any rules, someone please let me know so I can take necessary actions.
