You're an honest turnip farmer. Doing your job, as every day.

You found a rock in you turnip field... Unwilling to drive your beloved combine harvester on it, you step down to remove the unwelcome stone...

WHEN SUDDENLY

Your not-so-beloved-anymore combine harvester starts running again. And you're on its path! Fly you fool!

Mechanics

- You either harvest a turnip or don't, no letting go once you started!
- Harvesting™ a turnip take longer the larger it is!
- You hit a deadly mushroom: you die painfully
- You hit your combine harvester: you die even-more-painfully
- When you carry a rock, you can't double jump
- The combine harvester hits a rock: you gain some time!
- Thrown rock fall on another rock: they stack, and will combine ~~harvester~~ effects.
- Thrown rock fall on mushroom: it bounces :heart:
- Thrown rock fall on turnip: it crushes the turnip :broken_heart:
- Holding jump while harvesting™ a turnip charges a bonus super-jump *(really, not a bug, totally an intended feature!)*
- It gets faster *(bad luck, the crop field was sliiightly on a slope...)*

About the game


Game made entirely in 48 hours for the LD compo.

Tools used: Clickteam Fusion 2.5+, Aseprite, BFXR, Audacity

If you need it, saved playername is in: `%APPDATA%\Clickteam\html5Cookies`

It was planned, but I ran out of time to make the music, and a final polish/VFX pass. I'm still pretty proud of the game =)

Hope you'll enjoy it, thanks in advance for playing!

Post-deadline "Smallfix" version


Those fixes don't really change anything significant rating-wise, but by respect for fairness I still have the deadline version available below.

All fixes are:
- Sound was too loud for some players
- Fixed one text not showing in instructions
- Fixed two typos in instructions
