Version 1.0


Reaching what I believe is feature complete, gameplay tested, and bug free, I announce version 1.0

zx0 compression in the new GBDK2020 4.5.0 helped free up about 2KB of ROM .

Additionally, using a fork of hUGEDriver with compression, music and sound effects were added to the game with a comfortable margin of byes left. 

Thankfully this keeps the game at 32KB and feeling much more complete than I expected. 

Originally, I meant to have some kind of visual indicator for fertilizer, but during the process, it didn't feel right. So I'm leaving that out for now. I will say there's enough ROM and VRAM for it to be added, so if I'm wrong on the gameplay for fertilizer, that's a potential future update.

Also, if you've read this far I'll share the secret difficulty mode; Real-Time. And it really does keep to it's name as best it can. It will take roughly 28 weeks to beat, but hey, if you want to check it out, press SELECT+START at the Title Menu.


My cartridges were delivered and tested. 

I still need to design a front label and a little introduction booklet before I list any for sale.

There's only 5 copies I'll be listing at first, and if I can source more carts at a good price, I'm down to do more.
