Guess that's why you made this game and I'm just a simple player. I haven't been able to get a lumptato, but I'm guessing that I had one by accident in the last screenshot (the blue seed?).

To be honest, I haven't really put in an effort in getting a lumptato, because pea-creepers seem to do the trick so far. The large advantage is the fact that in their prime they're worth lots of points AND supply me with 3 seeds. I'm still wondering how many points a lumptato is.

My latest score has been: 2063381.
Again, great game, both simple and complex, and very, very addictive.

i love it.. would play it til i die if my girlfriend wasnt here now..

Andail

hehe, although it's rather silly, it's getting addictive...

I got him to say HUJU nine times one day, but still my points is pretty week compared to you guys...

The Pea-creepers seems to do the trick, however

Is there a way to reckon the highest possible score, Mostly?

I have no idea what the highest possible score would be, and I don't even know how to begin to work it out...

You can't pick lumptato seeds (I was simply asking if you used them out of interest D.Y) they are worth 16 points per fruit before multiplyers, and at their ripest they have 4 fruits on them. Pea-creepers are only worth 4 points per fruit (before multiplyers) and if you leave them long enough you can get 9 fruit off each plant...

so lumptatos are technically worth more than pea creepers, but they take longer to produce (you need to do several cross polinations) so are they worth it?!!??!

EDIT: Just fixed the bug where you always get 2 fauxtato seeds, even when you picked it in it's 1 seed stage... You now only get the two seeds when you wait for 2 seeds to be visible...

LATER:
I have added shading on my version of the game to hint at which squares start with higher multiplyers attached... I haven't uploaded this version yet, as it's not backwardly compatable with your old save games, and I'm not sure if anyone thinks it's worth the effot. If people say it'd help I shall replace the downloadable zip AGAIN (I'm only making changes according to what people tell me would make the game easyer... and I really didn't expect this many suggestions... thank poo YOU lot aren't suggesting things!!! We could be here all figgin' year!)

Snake

Could you upload a readme with it and explain exactly what we're supposed to be doing and how? :)

Captain Mostly

Well, I will do, but I don't know how it can really expand on what I've put in the instruction section of the game already...

I'm writing it now, and will upload it (and the newly re-coloured grid) later

A very nice concept you've got there!

Captain Mostly

WOO WOO! I got my first million! (and I could have done so much better if I hadn't screwed up and let loads of things rot in useless squares!)

also:
I uploaded the version with a read-me file, and the (admittedly subtle) colouring changes.

Ben

Really fun, and addictive too. Everything has that crazy Mostly charm to it. I've been playing in practice mode so I can play longer.

Snake

Shit, sorry Mostly, I didn't notice the intructions...

:( I'll take a look...

This game is more addicting than crack.
Even if my high score is less than a thousand.

Fuzzpilz

This is a very fun game, although I think I've found a way to unbalance it. I just scored 9318582 points.

Wow, this is really weird to admit (and it's probably due more to the fact that I have just got a new mouse)but I think I have sprained my thum playing VP Extreeme Turbo.
Even lameryer, top score so far is only 30456.(edit to: 146320)(edit the edit to : 486381)

(Great game Cap'n, really fun!!)




Hey! All my awesome trophies dissapeared in the year since I was here last. CONSARN_IT! with an underscore!!! I earned dem tings!! Oh well. Hope your Monkey floats.

Captain Mostly

come on fuzzpliz. You gotta tell me how you un-balanced it so I can spoil your fun...

Fuzzpilz

Pea-creepers and golden plums. Lots of them.

Captain Mostly

Hmmm... I'm not sure if that IS cheating... I guess It'll need looking into before I ruin that... I should switch the plums with the fixits so it's harder to get the ones that last...


any thoughts?


EDIT:
Having just had a go at the plums-and-peas tactic, I've decided that tomorrow I will swap the fixit's with the plums, as it IS much too easy... I apologise for the constant up-dates, but this is the price you have to pay for balanced game-play...


EDIT EDIT:
I've updated the cros-polinations. Now I've swapped round when you get plums and fixit's (this actually makes more sence, as fixits are only really tactically interesting if they're easy to get...)

I'd like to ask everyone to play the new version, and tell me if there are any new bugs, or if it's still pretty simple to scam it out of millions and millions of points...

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No seriously, it is.

On a scale from one to ten, this is 78.
