Seed Star by LandsharkRAWR

made by LandsharkRAWR for LD23 (COMPO)

Here you play as a farmer on the back of a giant space turtle, whose farm is constantly being hit my meteors.

LEFT/RIGHT moves the walrusman

UP places a shield over a farm plot, protecting it until it gets hit
DOWN plants and harvests a crop

NOTE: crops grow slower while under the protection of a shield

It was a nice idea, but things got pretty boring after the player realises that it's possible to queue shields and it's pretty much unlimited.
Even though plants grow slower under the shield, it isn't exactly a hard penalty that the player would avoid.
I didn't quite get the idea of the numbers, besides the grow indicator.
I really liked the graphics despite of being simple. ;)
