Hi all, I've finished my May #onegameamonth and here it is! Enjoy :-) http://www.kongregate.com/games/GreyAlien/xeno-farmer Made in Monkey of course! [EDIT] Created Video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98pVpeqgKnM&feature=youtu.be |

Nice! Although... I'm stuck on Level 4 "Make beasts next to the strange creatures"??? |
| ||
You have to match 3 worms to make a beast... |
| ||
Wow, it seems like a complex game logic wise. I'm impressed you did this in one month. Nice! |
| ||
I did it in two days actually. I have two main projects and this was just a fun minigame. |

Hi Grey, how did you make the title screen text "Xeno Farmer" ? Do you use a specific software to make such a glowing text ? By the way, nice graphic. Sergio. |
| ||
Do you use a specific software to make such a glowing text ? You can do a similar effect using Gimp's drop shadow, just set the offsets to zero and change the colour. |

This is fun... though it seems I lost all my Triple town skills since I stopped playing! Edit: Darn - seems I finished it! The last level was quite hard , although I suspect it would get much easier with practice. I would suggest you keep working on this: the mechanism is like Triple Town but the puzzle element makes it different. |

@semar: I use Photoshop. Bought a copy a few years back. Used to use gimp. Yep the last level is hard! Well done for beating it. Seems like people want me to make more levels which is a good sign. Thanks for playing. |
| ||
Nicely done. Last level was hard indeed :) You came up with this concept yourself, or there are other games with similar mechanics? |
| ||
Triple Town has the mechanic of place 3 of same next to each other to make a bigger thing, but I added Hexes and some matches changed tiles underneath and also matching next to things to destroy them. |
| ||
I made 9 top-level castles in Triple Town (without buying any items) - I *felt* I should be able to do your last level with hands tied behind my back! |

I just don't get it. I randomly click tiles and random things happen. Weird. |
| ||
It took me a while to understand what I was meant to be doing, but it's pretty addictive, could be a cool mobile game with more levels. Also, thing a bigger version would require would be a retry button, so the person doesn't have to do all the easy levels again. |

Thanks for playing. I deliberately didn't add detailed instructions as I wanted people to play it and figure out what to do. Most people manage to. It's part of the fun of "discovery". If I was to sell it commercially, perhaps I'd add a tutorial. Yeah I think it could be a fun mobile game. There is a restart level option on the in-game menu, but yeah a retry level on the game over screen would also be sensible. |
