FEED by drprettypatty
Grow your farm and new flower friend! Play this game for a relaxing experience as you care for your plants, chickens, and a new visitor.

I chose "Virtual Pet" and "Horror" as my incompatible themes...
Controls:
WASD/Arrows: Move Spacebar: Take/Feed/Eat
Tools:
I used Unity3D, Gimp, Krita, Blender, and FL Studio (with the GMS and FL Keys plugins along with some nohidea drum samples) to make this.
The font is from http://www.misprintedtype.com/fonts/freeware/ , and I also made use of the Unity post-processing stack. All the assets (3D models, sprites, textures, sfx + music), game design, and scripting were done within the 48 hours, aside from a last-minute bugfix a few minutes after 8 (the message box was not displaying properly in most situations).
Install instructions:
Extract the zip file to a folder of your choice, then run FEED.exe. Same with Linux, and I assume something similar with Macs.

Well done!
Visuals were great homage/parody to Harvest Moons and Stardew Valleys of the world, music loops were a bit on the short side but not distractingly so. I think only major criticisms I are the somewhat buggy picking up/feeding and growing mechanics. Sometimes it's kinda hard to feed one particular object you want if you are not in precisely right spot and there is nothing else around, picking up farmed plants happens usually only by chance and spamming space. Also what's going on with the empty gauges? Do the plants shrivel if you don't collect them quick enough? Can you stack multiple plants in the spot by watering many times?
Still, I think this game is awesome and those kinds of bugs are pretty understandable given the compo time limits. Good work!
_EDIT: Also! Checkpoints ☑️ are generally something I'd love to see more in Ludum Dare entries_
