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

This is pretty funny, does it grow pretty close to real time?
This is such a funny concept. Good presentation too :)
@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.
Love the concept
Seed planted! Easy 5 for humor
This is even more fun than watching the grass grow!
(On a serious note: this is a great little gag. Nice idea.)
I'm sold. Will come back and rate in a couple of weeks π₯
Cool concept LOL
This is how a game-maker challenge the jam rules!
I'm from 2030 guys. Still waiting for my carrot.
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.
@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!
@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 :-)
Pretty bold and funny concept, always refreshing to see something unexpected here
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 :)
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
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!
@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
@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!
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!
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!
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!
This is so weird lol
Best game ever! it is really difficult but get good I guess :/
What a Carrot! I'm looking forward my little carrot popin it! Thanks for make this game Cheers!
It's unusual, so much so that I'll have to give it a like.
Cool concept. We'll see about the execution. See you in time for LD53, if I remember.
Love the stupid concept lol :joy:
It is an adorable idea! The game is very faithful to the theme.
Reminder set to come back and check on my carrot now and then :D
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
Thanks for submitting your game on the stream! Hereβs the start of your game if you wanted to re-watch youtu.be/a12mtQSnQ2o?t=17624
Really funny idea, nice one!
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?!
