Surf a Turf by daandruff

made by daandruff for LD34 (COMPO)

!!! There was a severe bug where on some systems you couldn't press Ctrl and Right at the same time. Furthermore the level loading was broken on other systems. Both these bugs are now solved. If you still have problems, try empty your web-cache !!!

!!! Level loading was wonky on some systems and you couldn't get past tutorial levels. This has now been fixed. Also if the game seems to run buggy, try downloading the binary versions of it (Mac is up now, Win and Linux is on the way) !!!

You control the little robot named Ludwig. With his help you will travel across the land and water all the flowers to help them grow.

The HiScore is only local, so don't worry about getting beaten ;)

Awesome game! I doubt California would approve though :P

Personally, the only thing I would change would be to remove the 'ticking' from the music—the ocean waves are very nice but the ticking is driving me crazy like Captain Hook!

I actually really enjoyed this, one of the best games so far

This is a cool game, I'm a real fan of the art style. I think though, that the game is a bit easy, if watering the plants is seen as optional. I could imagine something like jump-pads that push you to the left would give the game more difficulty.

But don't worry though, you get a good rating from me, it was a nice game :)

I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the environment. It was very calm, and there was some nice-looking graphics. Pretty fun! Well done.

Great little game with lots of polish :)

Background tick gets annoying fast, otherwise it's a complete product :D

Good luck!

Cool mechanic. Art style is great. Movement feels a bit slow and floaty. Also spacebar causes the browser to scroll when I tried to play the embedded version

Sound is a little weird and I got stuck in a platform, but I like the idea and it seems well executed!

Very good idea for two buttons game! Very fun little game, plays very well, sometimes the water tanks are easy to miss though.

Quite cool. I love how you can grow flowers if you water them enough. Also, they dont blossom if they dont receive enough water. Good game :)

Fun mechanics, enjoyed it :)
But as d_0o_d said, it is a bit too easy if you choose not to water the plants.
Making each level require a number of plants grown in order to complete it might not be a bad idea.

A rather nice and relaxing game. Screw the flowers, flying is where it's at!

Really cute, well made game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/w1ddlauRQRk

Love the retro style! The game is rather simple, but I completed it all! The advice is to make the game tell the player clearly when he/she is out of water, because several time the hero stopped moving, and I thought it's a bug :-)
