Dr Fermento's Pickling Proliferation!
Made in 48 hours for the DJAM8 - Decay themed jam.
The garden is in chaos! A microbial malice has spread a plague of rot amongst the citizens. Not even the youngest of sprouts is safe! But Dr. Fermento has a plan to preserve the population with the power of pickling protection! It's this salty doctor's time to brine as they face the horrors of a compostapocalyptic future.
Instructions:
The garden has been abandoned! Use the mouse to click and drag your cucumbers and pickles to gather resources and pickle yourselves. You will need to clear away the bushes and listen to Dr. Fermento's instructions.

Due to an unfortunate error, the dialogue and text do not work in the original build. A fixed build has been uploaded, but the original is preserved (like a pickle). Feel free to download and rate the game based on the original "pickle_windows_no_dialogue.zip" build

What a delightful take on the theme! I really liked the art style too and the voice acting was pretty solid.
The only real minor issue I had was that the moving and cucumber selection used the same button and wouldn’t register properly sometimes. I kept trying to select one of the cucumbers but would end up moving the currently selected cucumber
I wasn't sure how to get more of the orange stuff.
Figured it out after playing longer but I lost a bunch of cucumbers first.
