Wheat

A game about collecting wheat.



Life is harsh for the common bird, but you have nested right above a ripe patch of wheat! Wheat can be found all over the ground! Collect as much as you can and store it safely in your nest for the coming winter.

And remember: birds only eat while in their nest, so be careful to return to your nest before you expend too much energy and starve to death.

Copy and share your final score in the comments!

Love2d/Box2D

At the last minute I realized that the physics behaves different on different computers, most is the same, but some key mechanics are physics based and for some it might unfortunately be impossible/a lot easier. And yes I use frame dependent time for calculations, but I still do not understand what the issue is.

Version 1.1.0

Tweaked version which plays roughly as intended on my windows system, but is a bit easier on my laptop.

Version 1.0.0

Is the first version which works as intended on my Ubuntu laptop but is almost unplayable on my windows machine.

Running the game

#### Tips (MINOR SPOILERS)
* If you do not need to be economical with your energy, holding down space all the time while flying is easiest.
* You spend more energy while carrying a lot.
* You spend less ambient energy while in the nest, but that time spent alive does not count in the final score.
* When skipping on the ground, tapping space makes you skip/hover fast over the ground.
* Max carry was the mechanic changed on the different platforms and was intended to be 62.
