Super 'Christmas Tree' Tycoon is game about growing Christmas trees, how wonderful! The fabulous Christmas spirit, one would say. Not me though.

This game is satire, it was a laugh to make (that's a lie, it was hell, why would anyone make a resource management game in 2 days?!) and it turned out, kind of finished, and by that I mean, not at all how I want it to be as most of the systems are incomplete and a little buggy... But ... let's focus on the positives.

The goal is to essentially make money, grow your lovely little 'Christmas trees' and sell the produce to your de... customers, the only way to lose is to run out of money, which I can't see happening... I had intended to have a system where cops would try and arrest you and you had to like, do things to avoid it etc...

Controls are pretty simple, pretty much just left click things, navigate around the phone, not much their, but might be a little confusing.

I hope my game doesn't offend you and that you see the comedy I was attempting at,

Cheers!

I'll come back tomorrow to try get the web version up.

EDIT: Just an extra bit of info, best growing potential is when the trees stats are green, this is around 30 for temp and 40 for water. The green button in the plant info screen will harvest the plant after it's grown a certain amount (quite vague) and light increases temp, open windows/watering to decrease it!

Funny take on the theme 'Growing' haha! Really well done, also the music creates a nice atmosphere.

Super clever concept. Had some trouble getting going (growing?) but nice package overall.

Neat idea! Good execution!
The music was quite lovely, too.

I couldn't work out when to harvest my "christmas tree", there's no feedback to the user when something is ready.

@speciesUnknown That's because I ran out of time, there were just too many features

I played this for quite a while and really enjoyed it, although I was never able to harvest. I was unsure when I could...

Very nice concept. UI could use some streamlining (like selecting your "Christmas trees" just by clicking on it, without going into info tab on your phone first). Could also use some visual feedback on "trees" condition, like drying out when unwatered without checking stat bars.

I had the same problems as other players with collecting from my trees. Also what are the contacts in the phone supposed to do? I really enjoyed the music and sound and I like your art as well.

@MorganLeFay Yeah, the game suffers from a large amount of unfinished features. The messaging system was going to make the door system a bit more complex, making sure you don't answer the door to a cop, build up trust and such.
