Blanket the Earth by EricTheCoolDude

[raw]
made by EricTheCoolDude for LD26 (JAM)
Blanket the Earth is a game about planting trees and making babies.

The world is an empty canvas! You'll need to make it beautiful by planting trees, grass, flowers and such. Watch out for the mole monsters that live underground, they hate trees and will break yours down if you leave them unattended. Luckily, they're afraid of humans (even babies!) and that's where the guy comes in. Make the world beautiful enough and he'll be more than happy to make babies with you to protect your trees.


Old description:

Use your mouse to plant trees around the square, but watch out!
The monsters will try to take them down once you plant them.
Your task is to protect the trees and build a house and make a family.
Maybe if your family is big enough you will be able to take out all the monsters and you can continue to grow your garden in peace.

The controls of the axe seemed quite buggy:( Often found myself not being able to cut down trees:<

@mollymus Yeah, you have to click the top of the trees in the LD version, there was an issue with the colliders for the trunks. I've been working on a post-LD version that should be out soon which fixes that and numerous other issues.

Since this is made in Unity, could you please provide an executable for Linux? The Web player does not support Linux.

Run around planting trees, grass, and flowers to get your boyfriend frisky enough to make 10 babies with you to kill all the monsters... This game has some quirks with gameplay and is a bit of a grind to beat but damn it's 5/5 on humour for me.

That being said, this is a good basis for a sort of harvest moon/viva pinata style of game and is very promising in that respect. I'm a fan. Great work.

Great game! I managed to get a score of ~20000, but took 1184 seconds. What's your personal score, so I know what to compare to?

It looks nice, but I can't play browser Unity games for an unknow reason (but the Unity "launchables" works great).
Next time, maybe you can add an executable ? It could help few people (like me) :)

Look loveley and the gameplay is very fun. I found that clicking on the green of the trees always cuts them down, but not the trunk. It's a little lacking audio wise, it could have used some sound effects on the various actions you perform. I'm in love with the 3d models and their textures though.

Awesome entry! :)

Enjoyed playing this. Monsters make me laugh, something very 70s kids tv show about them. As ever 3d world where you can build stuff is appealing. Good job.
