This is pretty funny, does it grow pretty close to real time?

ben-burnes 2023-01-08 22:13

This is such a funny concept. Good presentation too :)

pauljs 2023-01-08 22:13

@jellybean I tried to follow real time carrot growth and be somewhat similar to different state with from major difference that I update the visual only update every few days where in real life a carrot grow all the time x)

It is now growing in my phone, I will update this review when it is fully grown.

scilly-guy 2023-01-09 00:46

Love the concept

untitled-studios 2023-01-09 00:47

Seed planted! Easy 5 for humor

square-wave 2023-01-09 03:44

This is even more fun than watching the grass grow!

(On a serious note: this is a great little gag. Nice idea.)

fnkee 2023-01-09 03:46

I'm sold. Will come back and rate in a couple of weeks πŸ₯•

xlores-liang 2023-01-09 04:15

Cool concept LOL

This is how a game-maker challenge the jam rules!

v0odo0 2023-01-09 05:36

I'm from 2030 guys. Still waiting for my carrot.

vasco-freitas 2023-01-09 19:47

I think it would be hard to come up with a simpler but still interesting/funny idea. On one hand I don't want to keep the app open that long (I guess on mobile that would be less of an issue), on the other I'm curious so see what would come out, lol.

pauljs 2023-01-09 19:59

@vasco-freitas Oh I didn't precise, you don't have to keep your app opened! You can close it and come back to it! Let me add it to the description!

vasco-freitas 2023-01-09 20:01

@pauljs Ah, nice! I should have figured, that makes sense. I'll see if I remember to come back to it a few months from now :-)

fnelix 2023-01-09 21:33

Pretty bold and funny concept, always refreshing to see something unexpected here

breadstick 2023-01-10 00:30

I know we've reached the future since now I can grow a carrot from the comfort of my phone.

checkmate, world hunger

Best 90 days of my life :)

jormarysky 2023-01-10 03:13

Have there ever been game with such a disproportionated humour/fun ratings? This is absolutely least fun game in a jam, but it is good joke.

I will take your word for it actually working, no need for me to try it out

danmerey 2023-01-10 04:39

Didn't want to change my system time since the prize didn't look interesting enough for me :) I guess I'll have to live with no carrot :(

@danmerey The real experience is the waiting game anyway not changing your clock!

danmerey 2023-01-10 10:16

@pauljs

> The real experience is the waiting game anyway not changing your clock!

Aha! That means that you never tested your game properly! You cheater (jk) :D

pauljs 2023-01-10 10:34

@danmerey eheh that was my challenge for this jam yes x) Let's said I tested with Day being minutes or seconds instead of days x) But in order to test properly I launch a real game witch should be finished after the voting phase is finished!

itzemii 2023-01-10 22:16

Nice graphics with very little resources! The repeating pattern and especially the vignette effect gives it a very nice touch (I must remember this). Nice little portrait mode game. The best portrait mode game so far! ... Just joking. Nice game!

deathbysnail 2023-01-10 22:21

So far the best I've seen. What a bold move to make a game that takes longer to play than the voting period of ludum dare.

The only thing larger than the carrot I'm going to grow is your balls for pulling off this idea. Well done!

noskro 2023-01-11 08:19

I wanted to make the same joke, that I'll come back to rate once I've completed the game. But since that has already been done I rated now instead. Obviously since I'm not a cheater I haven't seen the whole game, but the concept is just amazing. I wish I could come up with stuff like this!

hungryroy 2023-01-12 07:20

This is so weird lol

aglou 2023-01-12 22:41

Best game ever! it is really difficult but get good I guess :/

his-the-unknown-painter 2023-01-13 13:23

What a Carrot! I'm looking forward my little carrot popin it! Thanks for make this game Cheers!

greenradiation 2023-01-13 14:16

It's unusual, so much so that I'll have to give it a like.

uraffululz 2023-01-13 18:27

Cool concept. We'll see about the execution. See you in time for LD53, if I remember.

tiseno 2023-01-14 11:55

Love the stupid concept lol :joy:

she-wrote 2023-01-15 04:14

It is an adorable idea! The game is very faithful to the theme.

timon 2023-01-15 16:29

Reminder set to come back and check on my carrot now and then :D

lfreinoso 2023-01-16 17:10

I confess that cell phone is not my great approach.. but it was very well closed on the topic and different from what I have seen in JAM.

See my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/52/space-harvest

lomby 2023-01-17 00:11

Thanks for submitting your game on the stream! Here’s the start of your game if you wanted to re-watch youtu.be/a12mtQSnQ2o?t=17624

Really funny idea, nice one!

cataclysmicknight 2023-01-17 23:30

I'm so glad you came by my stream to let me know about this, because if I would've missed it I would've been sad :(

BTW I really do plan to harvest this thing in 75 days, see?!
