I missed the deadline by a very small amount. Because I was slow and unprepared..
I finished it, to the point of submitting but hit upload a bit late. So here it is. It isn't much but hopefully you get a laugh out of it.

Tried to start it but it can't start because allegro-5.0.10-monolith-md.dll is missing.

Also, post your screenshot? :)

Minimalist music - great job :)

Is it meant to say it'll sound bad when I'm standing on a weed?

Side-note: I took a hedge trimmer to a particularly spiky weed growing up through a gap between paving slabs in my garden this evening :)

Tried it, made 50 20 points and stopped when I was like Jesus ^^

I'm running it under Wine on Linux (too lazy to build it myself), where it works just fine. It's a fun little game; made me laugh. :D I like how it doubles as a Jesus on water simulator. ;)

By the way, when I approach a weed, the "!! THAT SOUND WILL BE BAD !!" text appears. Is this supposed to happen?

Thanks everyone for checking out my weedhack.
@Gull & Eric - RE: Jesus - The problem is I didn't have time to prevent weeds being planted too close to the water. If I created plots to plant the weeds it would of prevented two types of collision happening at same time causing the second coming.

@ Bruce, "That will sound bad", happening near weed is another bug, that I could solve with an if statement, but submitted before checking. Cheers for noticing the tunes, it is a random music (noise) generator.

Had great fun making it, sorry it is a bit shit but didn't have enough time to put in the cops and the biker overlord, they were going to spawn and cause havoc. Maybe down the track..

It's OK, at least you had something to show, and it was about growing green ^^

You know what, I am going to go back and fix this, make it fun & challenging. It will have Biker overlord, and 'The Fuzz', + better sprites (more than 2 frames). Will also add joystick, and get some decent tunes. Might even have a HiScore table... Inhale' Thyyy wiiill beeeee done', exhale 8-)

Speaking of which, I couldn't quite work out whether this game is about 'weed' (the drug) or 'weeds' (perhaps you're playing the weed fairy that brings all the unwanted plants to everyone's gardens). I would like to live in a world where we only have fresh air, so can't really approve of anything that works against that, so I hope it's the garden thing.

@Edgar - Thanks, would be nice if we had a few extra days to work with but I guess that is the whole point of the "speed"hack...
@Bruce - These are medicinal weeds.

Nice job, devo_au. I fiddled around with the game for a bit. :)
