It's that time of year again, and another Ludum Dare entry again. By now you know what that means, time for our yearly update! But wait, it's only January?!

Ludum Dare 52

With an extra edition of the jam, we somehow found a little time to make a little game, although a game might be a bit of an overstatement. This time we took an adventure through the abstract, which led us to create the stressless toy that is Automatoes. Simulate the growth, interaction, and harvest of out-of-this-world crops, reap in your own dreamy atmosphere, and let the specifics of an actual harvest melt away into a shapely collection of colors.

I'm a musician now?

One detail, however, that should certainly not be overlooked is Automatoes' placement as 61st in the audio category, which is our highest absolute ranking yet! And on that note, Automatoes is the third entry in a row with its highest ranking being in the audio category. While this might be inflated somewhat by the fact that have audio at all in your entry is above average, that's not going to make me any less proud!
