Everyone bop on down to the Groovy Garden, where
the vegetables are in charge and aren't taking any bull
from any humans. Yes, those old nasties, The Vegan Rights
Militia, are out to give any veggie-eating humans all
the trouble they can. Using their specially advanced
telekinetic powers, the VRM bunch of hand picked root
crop can fly in the air and swoop down most perilously
waving their poisonous roots at any who may pass.
All
you want to do is plant and tender your fir trees, since
you're such a pleasant chap; not pleasant enough to
be above killing the odd few mutant veggies though,
and to protect your beloved saplings this is just what
you need to do. Armed only with a deadly Agent Orange
dispenser, death needs to be dealt out to any of the
potatoes, carrots and onions that fly down from the
sky.
The
pump can move up and down, and even left and right.
The fire button shoots the defoliant up the screen,
blamming any vegetables into nothingness. If the muties
cross your pump gun, your pump power, shown on a bar
graph, depreciates somewhat. If you have no pump power,
then the game is over.
A
fern is planted every time the fern counter reaches
zero -- mega fir trees these, since they grow to full
height in a matter of nanoseconds. Once four of these
ferns have got to adulthood, then it's off to the next
garden and so on, ad infinitum.
When
planting your seed in Groovy Garden there are
numerous factors to consider, one of them is your faith
in the great god Thrower. The faithometer constantly
keeps track of this oh-so-important factor, and if it
gets to zero then the veggies are deemed to have won.
Faith is dependant on how many crazed veg men have kamikazed
their way into the soil, the more mutant matter in the
ground the lower your faith. Luckily, Old Joe the faith
healing green finger merchant is at hand, in his shed
at the side of the screen, Joe's getting on now, and
a lot of his time is spent sleeping. But, every now
and then he gets up. You can tell when he's up and about
because he turns on his light. Only then can Joe get
out and restore the faith in the land.
