THE GAME

You are Fydo, a simple farmer who's discovered the secret to growing more than just vegetables. Through planting materials and fertilising the soil with his own blood... he is able to bring to life non-organic objects - like Microwaves, Toasters, Clown horns and much more! And these non-organic objects are worth top dollar!

game1.jpg
However, this goes against the *Farmers Fair Trade Act of 1963: "One must only grow organic matter"*. As a result, the vegetables are mad. Their real mad, and will come and attempt to destroy your farm on a daily basis.

game3.jpg
Plant combinations of wood, metal, plastic and blood to grow over 10 different plants. Once fully grown, you can harvest these items to help protect your farm! Each object has a special ability. Throw televisions, mow down some carrots with a desk fan, stun the tomatoes with the flash of a camera! Your farm is worth defending - but save *some* of your grown loot... a farmers gotta earn!

Lovely little fun game :)

I didn't expected this when i started to play. This is a nice twist on the 'farming games' genre,flavoured with a lot of humour and great voices.
The cartoon style i adore also.

Of course there are some small glitches (veggies getting stuck behind obstacles sometimes), but that's to be expected in a jam game.

Overall this game gets high praise from me because of the love that the developers clearly put in it.
The game feels,looks and plays really smooth. Great job guys!

This game is cute and ridiculous, I think my only complaint about this little game is there isn't more to play. :D FYI, I'm gonna try to plant some TVs in RL.

The bizarre scenario, voice acting and all of the different weapons that you can grow made the game great fun!
The combat didn't feel satisfying at first; I wasn't sure if I was damaging the enemies. Maybe some blinking effects on hit might help.
This was until I grew my first almight weapon: the desk. Charging and dashing through all the vegetables was really fun. The desk was one of many crazy & fun weapons which I all enjoyed.
Next to charging and lasering I also really enjoyed the art and the fact that it is a 3d game. Great job guys! Yihaaaaaaa!

Guys, this game was awesome! I had so much fun growing tables and running at carrots. Would love to see this one expanded!

Awesome graphics, music and voiceacting :) I enjoyed the gameplay. It was kind of fiddly attacking the enemies, (no feedback on wether you hit or not), but awesome game. Well done.

This is very nice idea, love the 'weirdness' but only in the best way possible! :) Nice use of the theme, sometimes I was not sure if I am hitting the veggies or not. But I love it all around and the jokes are really nice touch! Great job

As soon as I heard that horn sound, I actually laughed out loud. I'm a sucker for good humour in LD. Good job! :D

A great take on the theme, that's well polished. I found the controls to be a bit awkward though

This was so much fun! That horn sound effect had me laughing every single time. It was maybe a little hard to know when my attacks were landing on the vegetables, but everything else about it was so much fun. Great job!

#### Reviewing Jam version
Really innovative take on the theme, I love it!
I think everything worked really well together, the SFX and Music were highlights for me though.
I can see a lot of work, sweat and ~~veggies~~ blood went into this, and it shows!

I have seen that the post-jam version, so won't comment on things that have been resolved.

- Movement feels a bit clunky, it's not horrible I just think it could be a tad tighter.
- Combat still feels a little bit wonky, and there doesn't seem to be any weight when attacking the filthy veggies (Maybe have some detritus flying off when you hit?).
- A prompt to sleep for the night, walking into the tent was OK but I feel like it could be improved

It wasn't a chore to play the game at all, just things I think would make it pop more than it does.
Great job! Thanks for playing my game on stream and the feedback provided!

Good concept and well executed. I liked the look of it, and the music was nice in the background. My only complaint was it was difficult to tell I was hitting any vegetables, and there were too many options at the start.

Overall, very impressive, well done!

Great idea for a game for this theme! Voice acting was an excellent touch and added a bit of humor. I got a bit stuck at the end of day 2 and couldn't continue after I'd killed all the veggies. I think a neat feature would be some special resources that were risky to get by being far away from the farm, kind of like Don't Starve. Graphics were fitting to the mood of this game. Well done Dan!

Too funny! I really connected with the character here. The audio, art and design are all great, a well put together jam all round!

Very fun and unusual game. Well polished visuals, UI and sound, especially, like good comprehensive gameplay loop.

Love the concept. Very cute. I've gotta thing for farming sim games so this was right up my alley. It was a little hard to tell when I was hitting enemies but I think that comes with time as well. Some type of feedback that I'm hitting the enemies is diffidently something to look into.

Thanks for hanging out on the stream, as well. Here's the link to the stream. Your game should start around [02:21:23].

Very strange game, but I like it! Just thought the controls were not that well implemented, like having to step on the land to plant something on it. Other than that pretty nice game!
