A downloadable game for Windows

An RPG mixed with a gardening game!

Can a farmer slay an evil dragon?
Grow and eat your food to gain strength
Drag items with the left mouse button.
Use and equip items in your inventory with a right click. Drag seeds onto the farm plot squares to either side of your inventory to grow crops.

You can attack enemies just before they attack to interrupt them, or just after they attack for a critical hit!
Don't forget to equip helmets and armor you find!

You can also use the number keys to use items, and the arrow keys to move.

That game has some neat retro vibes, and I've been surprised by each playthrough I did, because I always met new items or enemies that I didn't had the chance to see before. That's an impressive amount of stuff you put in there! :) Especially the veggie enemies are my personal favorite. <3 The whole audiovisual representation was fabulous. Happily I recommended your game along with two others in a compilation article about the Ludum Dare 41, as well as it's featured in the related gameplay video. Thank you very much for your work!

Best wishes,
Sebastian

What a fun little game! The monster designs are cool, and the music gives an epic ambiance to the adventure! The gardening mechanic is an interesting choice, but feels kind of out of place. Also, it's easy to win the battles when you can spam 4 weapons' attacks in chain.
Overall, it's been a fun time :D Good job on this one!
