Strange game
The idea was to make game about ent that grows wood, then sell it. So his wood is his currency.
But i have no idea about mechanic.
So i made simple game about ent merchant that sell 'magic' grass.

Theme:Ent grow grass. Grass is part of ent. So ent sell himself. So he is currency))

Fun to play, might have been more fun if you could do multiple things or different levels or something. But the overall game was fun.

Nice little game! I would have liked if the Keys that you have to press would change over time! But still nice!

Cool game, a recommendation that I could give you is to be careful with the particle system. At one point the game had to many particles and it lagged for me, but overall good game and congrats!!

I agree about the particle system slowing things down... But that was kind of the joke, I suppose! My tree was REAAALLLLY enjoying the "magic grass"!

Yes, particles have some problems, sorry for that). The idea was to make, a lot of smoke=)

Funny game, but it would be more satisfying if you had a combo multiplier, so you get rewarded for not screwing up.

Well, I got a highscore of 10! I like your interpretation of the theme.

I didn't understood how this game fits this Ludum dare theme...

@d954mas oooh, that was a clever way to use the theme, congrats for thinking out of the box (I'm raising the score on my older theme vote)

Definitely a strange game, but fun nonetheless :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I really liked the art style. It looks like a tangram puzzle, with bold colours: all geometric and angular. The game itself felt unfinished, but I played it in an almost trancelike state for a while. I liked how only certain combinations of QWER were used. After a while I wasn't really looking at individual letters, but instead could recognize whole "groups" of 4 symbols, and input them without much thought. I think if there were too many letter combos then the game would have suffered.

I'd love to see a good typing game, other than "Typing of the Dead". The world needs this, my typing has always sucked. Maybe it if forced you to use actual punctuation and capital letters, it could make the world a better place. Nice music and interesting so far.

Clever use of the theme, and I like the polygon-like art style!

Very unique (to say the least haha) entry. I love the polygon style of graphics you have here. I think the music gets a little repetitive after a while though, it sounds like a very small sample. I would try to incorporate more keys into the game to make it a little more difficult. Overall I think you have a good start to something very special here, keep up the good work!
