Cactus's friend

The lonely cactus finally found a friend in the large jungle. However, there are some threats out there and they are very dangerous. Cactus must protect his friend until he can be a great treeeeeee.Screenshot at Oct 07 23-42-39.png

Control:


Arrow Keys/WASD: Move around

F: Pickup (seed, bucket)

Spacebar: Action (attack, plant seed, get water ...)

*Cactus Tips*: Plant as much carrot as you can cuz human is really dangerous. Dont fight alone

Postmortem, why not!



Things I used:
- Haxe & Heaps: A powerful multiplatform coding language. I would like to give my huge thanks to @deepnight, his works inspire me a lot. I also use his libraries in this project
- Aseprite & Tiled: Pixel art & map editor
- VSC
- Some coffee .....

What went right:

- I MADE A GAME. It's my first game and my first LD entry, its so much funnnn
- It's multiplatform. Thanks to Haxe & Heaps, I can easily deploy it to Windows, Mac, HTML.

What could be improved:
- No UI, no tutorials :(
- No sound. :(((
- Its so buggy and somewhat unplayable. Honestly, my code is a mess. Hopefully I can fix it in the post LD version later.

Conclusion


It's my first LD ever and I learn so muchhhhhhhhh from this event. Sure, I need to learn a lot but I enjoy every minutes in the jam. See you guys in LD46 ;)

To be honest I didn't really know what to do. I could pick up the bucket looking thing and the heart (?), but didn't know what to do with them. I finally ended up falling into the water, and that was the end of me. Nice work on the art though! I think there is potential, given more time!

Thanks, actually you can plant the heart by pressing SPACEBAR and pick the bucket to get some water for them. Yep, the game is lacking a lot of elements which confused the player a lot. :( I will work on a more polish version this weekend. ;) Thank you very much. I will give a much more better product in the next LD
