You are just trying to get to work and you lost all your tools and a bunch of hateful cows, cliffs and other such obstacles are getting in your way! \r\n\r\nGrow plants to get through each level and see if you can unlock all 7 achievements (you need multiple play through's to get them all!)\r\n\r\nControls\r\nAD or left and right arrow - left and right\r\nws or up and down - climb \/ decent a vine (up also uses the portal plants)\r\nqe - change seed to plant\r\nm - kill the background music\r\nn - kill my voice\r\nleft control \/ right click - harvest a plant for its seed (once you unlock the ability)\r\nspace \/ left click - plant the selected plant (if you have enough seeds)\r\nescape - bring up the in game menu, you can restart the level from here if needs be\r\n\r\nCows eat plants, but they cant see portal plants, they can just see through to the other side, so they wont eat them. \r\nFireballs kill you\r\nFalling too far kills you\r\n\r\nIts basically a \"puzzle\" solving platformer with 7 levels. Dont be afraid to restart the level if something goes wrong, or you die (just hit escape)\r\n\r\nI couldnt get onefile exe working so unfortunately its a giant tar, just unpack it and run the exe it should work. If that doesn't appeal, you can clone the source and execute it that way, it works on python2.7 and 3.x the only dependency is on pygame 1.92 and above.\r\n\r\nTheme ties - You grow plants to get through the levels, and theres two commands you can give your guy to interact with the world - plant a seed or harvest a seed (aside from movement obviously)\r\n\r\noh and special thanks to my girlfriend for literally acting like a cow for me :p\r\n\r\nUPDATE: 14\/12\/15\r\nAfter a bunch of friends playtested it, I needed to fix a few game breaking bugs, so a new version is now uploaded, with the commits made to the source tree. Everything fixed was at the very least a significant pain for completing the game making levels impossible without a level restart if they occurred, or even crashing the game. Unfortunately I still cant actually work out why the background music volume is messing with the sound effect volume on the windows build (works fine in linux), so I advise turning the background music off to hear my helpful tips!\r\n\r\nUPDATE 15\/12\/15\r\nI gave up on getting windows to lower the volume of just the pygame music like its meant to and reduced the volume of the midi file itself. Makes the voice and other game sounds audible. ","title":"Greenfinger"}
