/!\ Stupid idea/concept incomming /!\

Do you want to Grow a carrot? πŸ₯•
Now you can! On your phone!

How to play:

πŸ₯• Install the game and plant a carrot seed!

πŸ₯• Come back from time to time !

πŸ₯• Wait 2 or 3 months and then click on Harvest!

πŸ₯• Spend your Carrot point on a new background and keep on growing Carrots!

*(You don't have to keep your app open during 3 months, you can close it!)*

Warning: The game is more of a funny concept than really a game and can't really be tested in 10 minutes, but you have to comeback to it every few weeks! If you want to play on windows you need to not uninstall/delete the file!

It's okay you can rate the game on the idea of the game more than the game it self, but don't hesitate to keep it on your phone and come back to in a few weeks :) (spoilers: or if you want to ruin your experience and just see how it worked you can change your computer/phone calendar date)

This is pretty funny, does it grow pretty close to real time?

@jellybean I tried to follow real time carrot growth and be somewhat similar to different state with from major difference that I update the visual only update every few days where in real life a carrot grow all the time x)

It is now growing in my phone, I will update this review when it is fully grown.

This is even more fun than watching the grass grow!

(On a serious note: this is a great little gag. Nice idea.)

I'm sold. Will come back and rate in a couple of weeks πŸ₯•

I think it would be hard to come up with a simpler but still interesting/funny idea. On one hand I don't want to keep the app open that long (I guess on mobile that would be less of an issue), on the other I'm curious so see what would come out, lol.

@vasco-freitas Oh I didn't precise, you don't have to keep your app opened! You can close it and come back to it! Let me add it to the description!

@pauljs Ah, nice! I should have figured, that makes sense. I'll see if I remember to come back to it a few months from now :-)

Pretty bold and funny concept, always refreshing to see something unexpected here

Have there ever been game with such a disproportionated humour/fun ratings? This is absolutely least fun game in a jam, but it is good joke.

I will take your word for it actually working, no need for me to try it out

Didn't want to change my system time since the prize didn't look interesting enough for me :) I guess I'll have to live with no carrot :(

@danmerey The real experience is the waiting game anyway not changing your clock!

Aha! That means that you never tested your game properly! You cheater (jk) :D

@danmerey eheh that was my challenge for this jam yes x) Let's said I tested with Day being minutes or seconds instead of days x) But in order to test properly I launch a real game witch should be finished after the voting phase is finished!

Nice graphics with very little resources! The repeating pattern and especially the vignette effect gives it a very nice touch (I must remember this).
Nice little portrait mode game. The best portrait mode game so far! ... Just joking. Nice game!
DeathBySnail10 Jan 2023, 22:21
So far the best I've seen. What a bold move to make a game that takes longer to play than the voting period of ludum dare.

The only thing larger than the carrot I'm going to grow is your balls for pulling off this idea. Well done!

I wanted to make the same joke, that I'll come back to rate once I've completed the game. But since that has already been done I rated now instead. Obviously since I'm not a cheater I haven't seen the whole game, but the concept is just amazing. I wish I could come up with stuff like this!

This is so weird lol
Aglou12 Jan 2023, 22:41
Best game ever! it is really difficult but get good I guess :/

I'm so glad you came by my stream to let me know about this, because if I would've missed it I would've been sad :(

BTW I really do plan to harvest this thing in 75 days, see?!
