vegetable patch extreem turbo

[Captain Mostly]

I made a non-adventure game

it is hosted at

It's one that you'll have to invest some time in, as you need to get used to it before you can get the higher scores. First person to beat the built-in high score get's a prize...



(also, any constructive comments would be much apreciated, as I'm not sure how well I've managed to explain how the game works...)

I got 421902 points!

Seems like a fun game so far, just started playing after watching the tutorial.

A few minutes later.. I love it
Good work, best non adventure AGS game I've played.

Still not sure how most things work though  Like cross pollination..

[Captain Mostly]

should'a mentioned I want evidence for those top scores of yours...

BUT:

While I hate to piss the both of you off, I've now uploaded a version of the game with helpful colour-coding (as requested by my house mate) so you can tell exactly what stage of growth the plants are at all the time...

Plus there're a few bug-fixes in it (ALREADY!!)

[scotch]

Ah :|
I pressed menu.. thinking it wouldn't quit my game.. I thought the quit button would do that

Ah well, I guess I'll start again when I have time.  And get the new version

[Captain Mostly]

EDIT:

APOLOGIES:

YET ANOTHER BUG FIX!!!

I swear this is the last time I upload it, as I've checked ALL the maths over-and-over and I KNOW it's right this time...

[D · Y · D · O]

How is this for proof? By the way, I like the game, it's pretty well though out.

[Captain Mostly]

lol...

I guess that'll have to do for proof... now I'll have to think up a prize!!!

(B.T.W. is that on the newest version? It won't invalidate your prize if it is, I'm just wondering)...

[D · Y · D · O]

No, I guess it's the oldest version. I never re-downloaded the game.

[D · Y · D · O]

You should wait with that prize, by the way. I'm sure people are capable of much higher scores, because I didn't even try that many times (third game?).

[Captain Mostly]

well, it's really worth it if you do, as now the maths works properly (oops!)  and a LOT of bugs have been taken out...

Plus there's those handy squares to help you identify to status of each plant...



anyway, I tried to e-mail you about your prize just now, but it got returned!!! Could it be that the mail address in your profile is either fake or out of date?!?!?!

[D · Y · D · O]

Yeah, you're right, I updated my e-mail, it was an old address.

[Squinky]

Downloading now...I still don't understand richard longhurst though....heh

---edit----
I got 23,000 or something like that, neat-o idea, I especially liked the cool instruction gui...

[cornjob]

Interesting. I got the score of 30549. I have no clue what the hell I'm doing. Somehow I made a pea creeper. Is that good? And what does it mean when the guy says "JUJU!" Anyway, it seems to be a fascinating game.

[Captain Mostly]

if you get him to say JUJU three times in one day, your daily multiplyer goes up 1.

as for pea-creepers, they're pretty good. But a fauxtato is better...

[Andail]

This whole concept really fascinates me, since I've always liked the idea of one day creating a strategy game, and this is like one step in that direction...

Additionally, I've always been a fan of the wacky mostly-atmosphere...I have this funny feeling the whole crazy game is just a hoax or something

[D · Y · D · O]

I'm going insane. This game is addictive.

[Captain Mostly]

that's a pretty damned impressive score!!!!


More bug fixes coming in:
This time I fixed it so that you CAN pick fixit seeds (it seems this function got deleted some-where along the line!!!)


d.y.d.o   lol I just checked the maths of your score, and it seems the version you've got was doing the maths right all along!!! Something crazy's clearly been going on with this code!!!

I don't think there are any other bugs to fix, but you never know folks!!!

[D · Y · D · O]

The 1.3 million score was done with the latest version. I downloaded after you advised me to.

It takes a shitload of fauxtatoes and pea-creepers. OMG, I've even got the slang down !

[Captain Mostly]

I bet it does!!!

Out of interest, how much effort do you put into getting lumptatos (if any)? I suspect that what's holding me back is the fact I keep aiming for these, and forgetting about pretty much everything else... but they are worth a LOT of points... is it worth it?
