Asteroid B-612
Edit: I realized I didn't add the code to enable arrow key controls, so the movement for right now is only: "D" for clockwise and "A" for counterclockwise. Will add in the arrow key movement controls after the jam!
You are the solve inhabitant of asteroid B-612. The soil of your home is infested with baobab seeds. You must destroy the plants soon after they sprout, for once the trees grow, you can never get rid of them.
Inspired by The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Asteroid B-612 is a game that, much like life, can be frustrating and cannot be won but does have an end.
Asteroid B-612 was created by a solo developer for the 2 Colors Game Jam. All design, code, and visuals were created by me during the 48 hour jam time. The background music was made by shortiefoeva2. As per the jam requirements, only two colors were used. The colors are #223147 and #C5C8E7.
I hope you enjoy playing!

Maybe gameplay can little boring but art style and audios are awesome !!
Thank you for the feedback! I will definitely work on the gameplay after the game jam, but it is great that you like the art and audio!
Nice idea and great work, but I did't like a few things.
First, it would be nice to have some visual indication of when the plants will grow.
Second, at some point the game becomes punishing and not fun anymore because the plants spawn faster and faster but the player doesn't get "stronger" in any way, so at some point it becomes pointless to even try and stop the plants from growing.
Thanks so much for the feedback! Some visuals for where the sprouts will come out would definitely be an improvement.
As for the other point, that was precisely the point of the game. It's not a game that you "win" but instead a micro-story based loosely on The Little Prince about how easy, tedious tasks can quickly become overwhelming when too many demands are placed on you. However, it's helpful to know that its not being received quite as I intended. I might have to go back to the drawing board on this concept!`
