Herballistic by Neoludo

[raw]
made by Neoludo for LD34 (JAM)
Everyone knows that nuclear apocalypse is no excuse to stop working - especially when you're a robotic gardener.

Herballistic is a game that was made in 72 hours for the 34th Ludum Dare Game Jam, by a team consisting of Lucas Kent, Arie Oldman and Robbie Quinn.

The game's music was composed by Kevin Macleod, and is available for download at http://incompetech.com/

Due to the nature of the time limit on the jam, there may be a few bugs and issues with application icons. We'll fix these eventually, I promise!

Hi @Marod, I'm so sorry something is broken - I don't suppose you could let me know what happens when you try to run the exe? I tested it on as many computers as I could and didn't run into any issues yet.

Adorable graphics, nice gameplay. Not very hard too play. I'd suggest to add score for how much each tree was loved and watered, not just count trees :)

seen a few more entries with this old mechanic. however, this one strikes the spot with high level of polish, cute graphics and main protagonist. there is something poignant in the tropes where robots continue their programmed duties after the humans are gone. very well done. if i had to pick one thing i would do different, id only choose slightly darker music theme or weird distorted effect on this one. well done.

Art is gorgeous, really like the minimal clean style in a post-apocalypse. Game felt a little easy/slow to start, Water and Love never really seemed to be in short supply the way I was playing.

Those trees btw, beautiful effect.

Fun at the beginning, but tend to be a little laborious in the end :) I love the situation, make me think of wall-e. Nice job guys !

Felt pretty well polished, but it lacked a certain je ne sais quoi. Maybe a little more depth in the mechanics would have gone a long way.

Great music, beautiful trees, are they generated randomly or using pre-designed pattern?

Really like this one! Beautiful graphics and music (and sound) gives the mood. Nice use of both themes.

Great game, lovely minimalistic art style. Could be slightly more challenging I think. I especially like the variety of algorithmic trees :)

I like the fractal tree. The vector art is nice, too.
The game play, is like Ping with survival.
