Let's Grow Mr. Bubbo

Game was concieved when my daughter, Szedike made cast of characters lead by Mr. Bubbo. Since I didn't have time (and skill) to make the game she proposed (she made awesome game dev doc, one of the best I've seen), I've made this 'origins' style game about Mr. Bubbo's youth.

In turn it is a slighty educational game teaching kids what's edible and what isn't as well as what is nutritious and what isn't.

Music was borrowed from Geof Johnson "5 fruits and vegetables" and sounds are from Freesound.org.

Art was made by Szedike, and I did the game (scripting mostly).

How do you play this? I can't see a release on the Game Jolt page.

Are the positions of the answers randomized? It seemed like I only got two out of the whole game that were the top answer, all the rest were the bottom answer. Would have been nice to see the two different options presented visually rather than just as buttons with text.

Yea, answer positions are randomized, so that kid can't cheat (e.g. top answer is the 'good' one). And yes, I would prefer it more visual, but my skill was limited in creating such imagebuttons. Sadly I only learned it very next day when the LD ended...

I was disappointed that feeding Bubbo sponges and dirt didn't grow some kind of monster, but perhaps I just wasn't persistent enough. Back to the game!

The OS/X link points to a Windows-only download?

Sweet, a Ren'Py game.

Although there's not much to it, I'm sure that this was a learning experience for you, and I think it's a wonderful story behind it. I'm sure that this little story can go a long way in the long run.

Great game. Great music. Helping Bubbo grow to be big and healthy is satisfying. I also made a game in RenPy. :)
