MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
In Pro Crastinator, you take on the role of someone who goes from job to job, trying to complete each one ten seconds before its deadline.
There's now a MUCH-improved post-jam, and I've gone through a lot of effort to make it so you can easily check out the post-jam and the jam from the same build. I hope you enjoy it! :)
NOTE: I didn't actually finish this entry until about two hours after the jam deadline. Rate me how you will.

Too bad about missing the deadline, but as long as you learned something I wouldn't view this as a complete failure. There's certainly potential here. Better luck next time!
Hah, that was a lot more fun then it should have been, especially the lawnmowing was good! This needs some sound, though...
Interesting concept, man. Too bad you didn't finished in time. To mow the grass felt so satisfying! hehe
I cannot believe there was no "done" screen when I finished mowing the lawn :D I felt so empty... Too bad you could not finish it though, I'm willing to think it might have been really funny!
Who else drove their lawn mower off the edge of the earth because they got tired of mowing the goddamn grass?
Anyway this is not bad and really funny.
I lost (Drove my lawnmower off the edge of the world as I was curious :P). Too bad about running out of time, perhaps the project was a little big in scope? I like the lawnmowing game and would have been happy with just that as a game if it were fleshed out a little more! Not a bad effort, hope you come back for next time :)
There is a done screen when you finish the lawn, and a funny game after. Figuring out how to drive the lawnmower was funny too. Glad you submitted it even if it was late!
Haha, this reminds me of some German simulation games, like the Landwirtschaftssimulator (Farming Simulator). And I really mowed the lawn completely.
I see now why such games get played - they are, in a sense, very addictive.
And doing some Unity stuff on the laptop after the hard lawn work was kinda rewarding, I dunno why.
Kudos for the cool idea! :-)
haha I liked it. To drive a lawnmower with physic accurate movement =D. Sad that you not finish it in time.
Thanks for all the great feedback!
There's now a postjam version with 10 second solutions; let me know how you like it!
Great idea but not the most thing in the world :P And the grass details lagged the game to the extreme on my computer... maybe you should have optimized that level better
hmmm. where is my cursor? ))
I hope that concept might be great. but, I have no solutions how to play in this game (
Good game, I would like to see a more complete version though :)
Cool idea. Although it stretched out pretty long when mowing the lawn.
Pretty awesome game you have there!
It basically made jobs I dislike doing in RL fun, which was quite weird. ô.o
Sadly the 10s solutions didn't make it into the compo version. (Also I think that lawnmowers aren't supposed to have a top speed of 200 mp/h ;p)

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Did you just make me paint your house for you. @_@
