Pretty cool game. Fits the theme and is fun to play. Everything seems to work well.

Having to balance between the three variables is a nice unique idea. I did manage to grow some berries on my second try.

Very entertaining!

Interesting idea. Fits the topic really well, as well as being entertaining.

I like this game! Really funny!

Great concept. I loved to retry, but I found too often nothing :(

@Masadow: Yeah. There are 26 possible Plant health combinations and I only had time to get 15 berries in the game (that is 30 different stories - 2 for each berry). That means that a bit over 50% of the time you will grow a berry. Not too bad, but I'd rather have it around 60% or so and make it possible to kill the plant. As always, I had other ideas to implement but ran out of time.

Actually there are 27 possible plant health combinations :P

The cat peed on the plant, I got sent to jail, the neighbor is poisoned - next time I'll just use some roundup and kill this weed! Very good use of the theme, and I love the intro music (should have it play during the game too!)

Quite fun. Cool concept and funny stories.

Cool game! I laughed with some berry results like the gatorade one :P
Great job :)

If you have time, rate my game too! I would really appreciate it! :D

Very fun game!! Nice job with that seed ;)

haha fun story and cool concept :)

Fun game.
I managed to grow berries having the watter always on (100% water). Shouldn't the plant rot?

recursor 2013-12-19 17:20

@xrm0: A regular plant would, but this is not a regular plant.

Interesting take on the theme and a nice story to go with it. Well done!

Neat concept, because I felt like I was playing for the chance to read the stories more than anything else. I wasn't exactly clear how the quantities matched up to the health meter, but I found around 4-5 different berries.

The premise is quite similar to our game, but it would seem that our executions differ a lot from each other :P.

I think the text-to-gameplay -ratio could've been a bit better. I think I managed to get the same exact stories as vinull.

pkenney 2013-12-21 05:20

Cool stories! I never wanted to send it to the lab.

michail 2013-12-26 22:49

Very interesting idea. It takes some time to get the rules, but some of the endings are really funny. My favorite one is working as a statue in a museum ;)

I cured alzheimer's :)
Pretty fun little game!

Nice simple idea, quite unique. Rated highly.
