Shmelon Fields

Made as a Submission to Ludum Dare 53 – Delivery

Controls:

Use WASD or Arrow Keys to move, and spacebar to interact.

Pixel Art Farming Game

You are a farmer dude trying to make some money by fulfilling a Purrball delivery request from your boss. But first, you need to find out what a Purrball is.

How to Play

Roam the field to harvest schmelons to feed the Purrballs and increase their mood and likelihood of laying new Purrball eggs. Purrballs can only be picked up at maximum happiness, and then they can be taken to the truck for delivery, but be careful, you need to make sure you keep all the Purrballs happy enough, otherwise they might SCREM. Balance fostering new Purrballs with keeping them happy, until you can meet your delivery quota.

Dev Thoughts

Had fun with this Ludum Dare, definitely the cutest looking game I’ve made. I worked with Josie on this game for the Jam entry. Have recently been playing Stardew Valley together, and knew we wanted to make a topdown pixel art game, and knew we wanted a cute lil creature that SCREMed. 

Special thanks to Jules for play testing and being our human soundboard.

Dev ChangeLog:

- Known bug: some issue picking up objects, will try to interact with uninteractable objects instead of others nearby

- Known bug: some weird audio glitching
