About 2 miles east of Sawtell Peak, Idaho, locals like to tell each other stories about a nameless fiend with a labyrinthian circulatory system. Of course, you'd only know this to be true if it deemed you worthy of keeping it satiated. Rumors say it's recently grown a violent taste for Churnips. Naturally, *someone* needs to answer the call.

A game made in under 96 hours for the GMTK 2024 Game Jam. 

HOW TO PLAY
===========
You are a STOCKY FARMER. Use WASD to move.
You can grab/dash to pick items up using SHIFT, RIGHT CLICK, or the SPACEBAR, and toss them towards your reticle using LEFT CLICK.
Fullscreen with f5
Maximize window with f4


When the game begins, a THE DEVICE will dispense FERTILLERY SEEDS. When thrown into holes in the ground, a small CHURNIP will sprout approximately 2 seconds later. Periodically, DRIPLETS will fall from the sky and follow you in droves. Toss them on top of CHURNIPS to grow them up to 5 times or prematurely sprout them from the soil. 

The goal of the game is to feed the ever-present FIEND on stage right, before it gets tired of you and turns the planet into its next chew toy.

Super charming game! My only issue is how long it takes to get difficult. It took about 14 minutes to become challenging on my first playthrough.
