Plot
------
You are confined in a small room with only 2 coins and some seeds. In the room with you, you see a dispenser where you can put items in, and it will give you another item in return. There is a little opening on the ceiling you can use to escape. But, to reach that opening, you must somehow build a ladder. And how do you build a ladder? You farm (obviously)! Learn about the objects around you as you go along, and use that knowledge to farm your way to freedom!
Summary & Info
---------------
Here is 'Farm To Freedom' my game for Ludum Dare 37! It was created entirely from scratch in Java. I think this is my best game yet in terms of art (except for the horribly drawn player - all my ludum dare games have horribly drawn players :P), audio and game mechanics, so I'm really proud of this game. :)
Controls:
WASD or arrow keys to move.
Everything else is controlled by the mouse.
This game has no tutorial - you are meant to learn how to play and how things work/interact with each other as you progress.
However, I will give you 2 tips:
1. Pay attention to the info bar in the bottom left, and the text at the top of the screen - they will teach you a lot.
2. Don't go AFK while letting a large amount of coins produce. This is because if there is 1000 coins on the ground waiting to be collected, the game won't produce any more coins to prevent lag.
Requires Java and a minimum 1280x720 display to run.
Programs Used:
IDE - Eclipse
Art - Gimp
Audio - Musescore & Audacity
Have fun! :D ^-^
UPDATE
------
One of my friends played this and mentioned that it's annoying not being able to see the prices of things you can't afford in the shop, so the prices are:
Seeds - $10
Upgrader - $30
Fuel - $200
Wood Generator - $500
Ladder - 50 logs
