Biofuel by Jeremias
Biofuel is a Harvest Moon like game. Your task is to fuel the space station with biofuel by growing and harvesting plants. You can carry only one tool at the same time and you have only one day to give your best in harvesting!
The game requires .NET 4 and XNA 4:

You can play the game with the keyboard or the gamepad likewise (tested with a xbox 360 gamepad).
Write your score (the amount of biofuel gathered) into the comments or tell me them via twitter (@StevenColling) - my record was 166 liter!
-----------------------------------------------------
The game shows short help texts and the controls, but if you have problems with the game, here is a little introduction.
I recommend to skip the following and to discover the game on your own.
1. Cultivate land with the shovel by walking over the fields (which have a white border) and pressing C (keyboard) or X (gamepad).
2. Go to the console at the top.
3. Select one of the seed types with Space/Return or A/B on the gamepad, e.g. the carrot seeds.
4. Walk to the cultivated land and press C (or X with gamepad) for throwing the seeds.
5. Get the watering tool at the console...
6. ...and use it on the plant seeds.
7. After a while (time runs only if you are moving or if you stand on the platform in the center), the carrot reachs its next state and needs to be watered again.
8. After a couple of stages, the ready carrots have green sparkles. Get the scythe and harvest them.
9. Bring the harvest back to the console to tranform it directly to fuel.

@BoppreH: You select the tools with Space/Enter on the console at the top (where a big shovel is flying at the start). Then you can use the tool on the fields with C. For throwing the seeds out, you must select them on the console and then use them on the fields. In the game's description on this site, there is also a little tutorial. Tell me if it worked! :)
The graphics look awesome and the sound fits really good.
Gameplay of course reminds of harvest moon. I loved that game, but it took ages to take care of the whole acre. Here we have only a hand full of cultivatable fields and a time limit, which I really appreciate :D I would have spent way too much more time on your game if it would have let me, so thank you for limiting play time ;)
Awesome work!
Well done! :D
PB: 136 Liters.
Nice one man.
Thank you and congratulations !
Wonderful job, congratulations! :D
It was a bit confusing on the first play, I only managed to make 3 liters of fuel. :D But overall, one of the more polished games I've played in this LD, congratulations. :)
Good job.
