Your Angus is beautiful!

Great looking but as awesome as potatoes are, it gets boring pretty fast just planting new potatoes :P

waave 2013-04-29 04:20

Got stuck at the beehive, really nice though!

Linux users: this works almost-perfectly in Ubuntu with WINE. For some reason the mouse pulls down constantly, which is very annoying, but it doesn't make the game unplayable. You need to "look up" first.

namuol 2013-04-29 04:55

Any way to get "past" the beehive? Just want to know if I can in-fact reach the moon... ;)

Love the little growing animations, by the way. Very nice.

It is possible to reach the moon (ie. win the game). Sometimes it requires a bit of experimentation.

infernal 2013-04-29 06:32

Pow! straight to the moon! great job!

lrdkzrth 2013-04-29 08:42

POTATOES! Great game! :D

ludipe 2013-04-29 08:43

Very interesting game, a bit too dark, yeah, there shouldn't be any light but the ground is completely black and the objetcs seem to be illuminated. I really liked it and I'll keep trying to reach the moon :)

johnste 2013-04-29 08:45

Fun game, I had fun experimenting my way towards the moon. I wish I could continue after finally reaching it.

biscuitdough 2013-04-29 08:56

Liked how exploratory it was, wish more games were like this

kewry 2013-04-29 15:42

My favorite game so far!
Could use some music to help set the adventurous mood.

beerman 2013-04-29 18:03

Took a little thinking, but I made it to the moon. Great job.

"Gentlemen, it's going to take a lot of potatoes, and a lot of flowers, but we'll make it to the moon come hell or high water."

Great little game, cute and funny. Some parts were a little hard to figure out how to progress (particularly the initial planting potatoes) but not TOO hard. I don't know what an angus is, but I want one!

One of the best LD entries I've played so far. The problem-solving element was great, and the graphics were really nice. Well done. Well done.

timtipgames 2013-04-30 15:45

Cool!

michail 2013-04-30 20:07

I love your style, but without watching the video I would never figure out how to create giant potato ;)

bushmango3 2013-05-01 03:44

I love a happy Angus! I loved this game!

monxcleyrproductions 2013-05-01 03:56

Very fun game. I really liked how you had to use all the materials at your disposal to come up with a solution - very experimental. I was dangerously close to giving up a couple times, and maybe the player could be introduced to the mechanic in a more lenient way. That said, I made it to the moon so maybe it worked out just fine!
The graphics and animation were great and I enjoyed the nonsensical mood of the game. Awesome stuff.

Good concept. However the camera keeps moving up made me feel dizzy.

nanolotl 2013-05-01 05:25

@lekochen the camera-always-moves-up thing is an issue that occurs when the window borders are not the default size. Unfortunately I have no clue how to fix this. On Windows 7 a border padding value of 4 and an active title bar size of 21 generally fixes it.

gmaker 2013-05-01 06:08

really nice! )

depp 2013-05-01 06:14

Holy moly what an awesome and bizarre series of puzzles. I never felt cheated.

tentontoon 2013-05-01 06:20

Impressive "Minecraft" vibe for an LD48 game! The exploration of the mechanics is a nice concept, but needs the player to think outside of the box a little too much; it's easy to get bored of planting potatoes if you don't happen to find the way to get the giant potato and move the experience forward.

There's also the "potato" thing, that it's sort of a love/hate matter in this edition, and I tend more to the later than to the former :)

Congratulations! :)

That was absolutely brilliant! I loved it, so imaginative and it made me feel awesome to win. I think one thing you should do is change the end so you actually get to fly away to the moon.

psenfilip 2013-05-02 04:21

I had fun with this puzzly entry. Too bad it is short.
I would say the beginning is so boring and grindy I almost gave up. Anyway it is worth the run!
Missed some background music to add on the mood though

psychopsam 2013-05-02 09:19

Only got to the beehive before resorting to cheats. Great concept, just needed an extra clue to continue. Nice work.

snakeeater 2013-05-03 09:03

Very interesting. I gave up after a while, though :(

stmatn 2013-05-03 10:55

Weird, but cool game. I really had fun playing, although, I needed the walkthrough, to complete the game. Good work!

naoistheguardian 2013-05-05 00:19

Cant run it, I get to the press space part and when I do, it stops working, and I have to press escape to close it.

covenant 2013-05-05 12:32

Excelent, really loved this one... Ultimate Angus made me LOL... :)

sestren 2013-05-05 22:13

Cool graphical style, and, while the objective wasn't always immediately clear, it was decent enough that I was always able to figure out what to do next in a fair amount of time. Good job!

jimday 2013-05-08 16:15

HAHA! very nice little game. I like it!
angus..lol

jimday 2013-05-08 16:17

but how to vote this game? I can not find it anywhere...

atraxgames 2013-05-08 20:51

I loved it, it's very creative, trying to things with the environment it's very entertaining

turbodindon 2013-05-10 14:37

Fabulous adventure!
