A game about growing and collecting cucumbers with a two button control scheme. Ever thought Harvest Moon had too many buttons? Then this is the game for you!

To use it on my Ubuntu, I had to install "libjansson4".

Even if the game works now on my computer, the game display is too big on a laptop screen (1366x768) to be playable.

celisoft: Thanks for the info. I've updated the dependency list with that. Unfortunately I cannot lower the resolution or some of the text is unreadable. I'll keep that in mind for my next game though.

Thanks for the nice comments. :)

The Fedora build worked good for me on Arch Linux. Game felt polished within its scope. I liked the ability to upgrade at the end of day :)

A relaxing and pleasant game but a little boring.

good work, i went to the end even though I struggled to get 40 - im not sure if there was a penalty to button mashing, but that might be a good idea, i was able to do quite well initially just pressing dd [space] dd [space] dd [space] dd [space]
