Hey all - this build is in XNA for Windows only :( Hoping to have the port (monogame, jsil) up tomorrow.

Thanks!

Darn bird stealing my potatoes! Only problem I had was that after a while it says I have 8 seeds left but it wouldn't let me plant anymore.

It doesn't seem to work properly. When I want to sell something, I have less money than before. :/

daydalus 2013-04-29 14:24

Few extra things:
-Green potatos will poison you, and will sell for negative money. You can trash them (lower right basket) or throw them at crows.
-In the font, a zero looks similar to an 8.

-Hope to have HTML5 port up sometime today

Game is now playable on the web - XNA converted to HTML5 via JSIL (http://jsil.org/). Currently sound is disabled, and the Hunger bar isn't showing up. Everything else should work.

Except your mentioned points it works great in my browser. Never heard of JSIL before.
Also - nice game! Is it possible to defeat the crow?

daydalus 2013-04-29 19:28

Currently crow(s) can't be killed, only scared away.

0 looks like 8... :) Kinda strange game, does it have any sound ? (Sound didn't play in firefox...) Otherwise, clever game, too clever for me I always lose! :)

The zeroes really do look like 8's.

Nice game I like the idea

Does the game ends somehow? I did not managed to beat it.
Planted and collected loads of potatoes, after a good while messing around with the interface buttons to figure out how stuff works.
Only after I was about to quit the game I found out there is a help screen when you hit Pause/Esc. Phew.

Anyway I had some fun.
Still missed sounds on my end. Would have been nice.

Newest web version should now have sound! Horay for reading JSIL documentation!

Too bad the theme wasn't "potato", this would have ranked pretty highly. How do you win?

daydalus 2013-05-03 00:23

There's no end or win state. Mostly just to see how much money you can make. If you want to challenge yourself, try to get to $200

That was pretty nice. Wish you included an installer-free Windows version, though, had to play with browser, and it crashes in latest Firefox. Chrome is OK, though.

Pretty neat, sound effects made me laugh. :D
