Tale of Growth

Tale of Growth is a relaxing explorative game about growing plants. Be careful though, there are insects want to eat your crops and steal your tools! 

This game was made in 5 days by two developers for the #GamesInTheWoods GameJam. The game is not perfect and we have plans to develop it further.

If you're lost or confused:

Controls:

Movement : W, A, S, D and SPACE

Tools : Left Mouse click = punch or use current item. Right click = drop current item. C = drop lantern. ESC/P = pause game. 

Casual Mode:

You have seeds that you can plant. Water these seeds to allow them to grow. While they are growing, ladybugs may try and eat them, this will kill the plant. Use the leaf tool to swat ladybugs away (they'll probably come back though.)

Once fully grown, the plants will drop seeds and berries. Plant the seeds for more plants and save the berries for later.

Some ants will steal your tools, seeds and berries. Use the leaf tool to gently thwack the ant - this will cause the ant to drop your tool. However, in a pinch, you can use your fists to get your items back - this will upset the ants. Keep berries nearby for this.

Challenge Mode:

Gain points for surviving and growing plants. The world will progressively become more hostile so use your time wisely. If you or a tree reaches 0 HP,  the game will end. 

When your health reaches 0 in Casual Mode, no progress will be lost. You pass out and wake up back at your hut and your tools will stay where you dropped them (unless they got stolen by ants).

When your health reaches 0 in Challenge mode, the game will end and no progress will be saved.
