Grow

Why are the lice eating my beautiful plant?!

Cool idea.

Great first entry! Nice work on the music, as well. :)

Nice game! My top score wasn't very good, I got a top of 23. (Actually, that might be good, just saw your screenshots.) Anyway, cool game. Good idea putting the T in though, as waiting wasn't very interesting :)

Pretty interesting concept, and fun. Wish it had audio though. Good game though

It was Ok. But I was kind of confused with what all the bars and stuff where for.

I didn't really know what was going on. Also, why are lice eating a plant?

Interesting idea and pretty well executed. I think the life bar and regeneration on your UI could be explained better but it was easy enough to understand once I played for a while. Nice job!

Highest score was 26 gonna go for 30+.

@graceavery It's my 3rd entry and the game has no music/audio at all.

This is by far the best plantlice sim I've tried.

I'm not sure I fully understand this game. Is it not most efficient to hold the 'g' button for a little less than 5 minutes then spam the 's' key? interesting, none the less

Well, try it..

Interesting idea - was a bit unclear what was going on with the red/green arrows and what affected my health, at first. But after a while I figured it out.

do too many lice kill the plant? I had trouble finding the sweet spot.

Good take on the theme.

The system is interesting. Played it three times and I clearly was getting better. It was a bit bothering that the growing stopped even when you were holding the "G"-Button, didn't get this the first time.

Interesting idea, will need some time to get to a good score.

Interesting idea. A bit hard to understand what's going on but I guess it's part of the game. I got a highscore of 21.

Nice concept.

You use the same life energy to grow and feed the lice.
It's the balance between having some to live with and some to give. Give too much and you die. Give too few and you don't score.

I had to retry a little until I find the better way to grow the highest amount of lice I can get, and then retry again with the post-compo to score in the leaderboard. :P

nice score :P

This is a cool concept, having to balance your growth rate with the time you have remaining and the cost to add lice, and it's straightforward enough to figure out, but after a few rounds I'm still not sure if the strategy makes itself clear. Is it just a matter of growing as much as you can, figuring out the optimal time to start placing lice, and then placing lice until the game ends, or is there something more to the strategy that I'm missing? An interesting challenge, none the less.

Also, a small thing, I'm not sure why anyone would play without fast-forward, so it would make more sense to me for that to be the default.
