Show HN: Farmbound – A Diurnal Game of Farming
5 by stuartlangridge | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Farmbound is a puzzle game about farming. Combine or fertilise seeds into crops and crops into fields; put scythes and tractors next to crops and fields for points. Think of it like a cross between a match-3 game and Little Alchemy. The twist is that you get the same sequence of items for the whole day: if you play again, you’ll get the same things in the same order, up until midnight UTC when it changes. There's also a description of why it's built the way it is: it's a web app. The full post is at [0], but here's the tl;dr: it is entrely possible, and ought to be more common, to give people an app without tithing to an app store and having someone else review it, and without having to build platform-specific native versions. And that means that your app works on phones, on desktops, everywhere. Why limit your audience? [0] https://ift.tt/MIBzdfa...
