Plants To Grow by foxtrotluna

made by foxtrotluna for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

Plants to grow is a Windowsill simulator. Earn love over time, use it to buy plants. Designed to run on a secondary monitor or just in the background with the audio on low.

Plants you purchase will contribute to the overall soundscape and mood.

In times like these, we can all do with something a little relaxing and creating a small space to escape for ourselves.

Cute game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/4GNiWeaqklM

I really like the dynamic soundscape thing, and the day/night cycle is tits.

This is for now my favorite game from the jam. The theme interpretation is a bit of a stretch, but the game is so good that I don't mind.

Thank you so much for making this! :two_hearts:

The names given to the plants take this to another level. I would love if I could save my composition and come back to my plants once in a while.

:smile: Really cool idea for a relaxing idle game!

:slight_smile: I like that each plant has its own name, such as "Freida (Basil)"

:confused: Recycling does not give back money as implied by the icon.

:question: The timer on the wall runs faster than the real-world time. What is it for? Is it some kind of day-night cycle?

:bulb: A cheat code to instantly get some hearts would be amazing for people that want to play your game but are short on time! :D

:question: How is it connected to the _Keep it alive_ theme?

Nice Idea, reminds me on the little idle games there was popular with the rise of Java. Lovely look and great soundtrack.

Very calm and relaxing game. Loved the day night cycle. Very simple and minimalist look no instructions needed.

Lovely idea! And very nice plants. It's kind of like a clicker game, but slow and without the clicking. Giving them names was was brilliant. Would have been nice to be able to water them, speak a little to them and such. I wouldn't have needed to make any difference in the progression but increased the immersion.
