Fallowtide
A downloadable game for Windows
All fields must sometimes lie fallow. You've been hired to grow crops for a quaint group of villagers, and while they pay generously, there's something strange happening under the surface.
Credits:
Made in 48 hours for the Ludum Dare 52 compo. All art, music, sound effects, and programming was done in that time.
Engine: Python with pygame
Art: Paint.NET
Music/SFX: Audacity, SFXR, my Casio keyboard
Fonts: Alef, Alagard, Matura
Changelogs:
Jan 8, 2023 - 3:19 PM: Oops! I bundled the wrong version of the "assets" folder in with the game during submission hour. The only thing that has changed is the sprites for hovering over soil tiles. Since I made the change prior to the submission deadline (see Github history), and it's only 20 minutes after submission hour, I've updated the files.

Feels like Tetris in a way. Very satisfying crops, btw. Good job!
show me the mac version. I go test it out!
Unfortunately, I’m not able to make a Mac version myself with pyinstaller.
However, if you’re comfortable running from source, the directions should be pretty similar to the Linux directions on the Github!
how do i change the resolution? im only getting half of any card
Unfortunately, you can’t. The game was programmed in 48 hours so I didn’t have time to account for resolutions other than 1920x1080.
Unless you’re talking about the cards going off the bottom edge of the screen, in which case that’s just how they look until you hover over them!
