THE GAME

After surviving a nuclear detonation you are left starving, irradiated and delusional. Miraculously, a bag of plum seeds also survived the blast. Planting these seeds becomes your means for survival. Radiation will mutate your plums both for better and worse. Will you succumb to radiation poisoning? Or starvation? Or will your shattered psyche become your most lethal affliction?

Soil and Rubble is a gardening simulation with a twist: nuclear fallout periodically mutates your crops. These mutations have a variety of effects, some good and some bad. The key to survival is breeding the perfect set of mutations while fending off starvation with your less desirable fruit.

The game takes between 8-15 minutes to complete and there is a very clear ending.

THE DEVELOPMENT

Hey my name is Daniel and I am the sole developer of Soil and Rubble. You can find me on Twitter here, and a portfolio of my past work can be found here :)

All art and high level game code was created by myself within the 1 month development period. I used Photoshop for the art and Unity3D as the game engine.

The UI font that was used is Zeroes 3 by Raymond Larabie (http://www.1001fonts.com/zeroes-font.html)

Audio was licensed as CC0 or free for non-commercial use and found on freesound.org. Some audio was remixed in Audacity.
