Daisy? more like DAY-Z.

Cute. I liked the character animation. I found it really tough to jump/clear enemies sometimes.

Cool concept :) Loved the sounds - most peaceful ones i've encountered so far

Good work! I like it!

Took a long while to load up..., but well worth it! Had a good time playing this, despite the fact that it took some time to learn what I was doing! Pretty good use of the theme!

This was a very cool game.

I really enjoyed the different seed mechanics. They made the game-play varied and very interesting. The platforming engine felt nice and solid. The only problem I had was enemy projectiles knocking me back really far.

The graphics where very nice and the sound works well with the game.

Great job!

I really like this game! I actually was surprised that you had a winter themed level, and even more so a volcanic one. Good job, and definitely 5/5. I had a fun time playing it, although it was frustrating when I died. The checkpoints were nice though.

Yeah! Plant game! I love plants!

Really fluid, nice graphics, and good nice sunlight mechanic, works really well

Eh, Could use a lot of polishing, fun though!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I've just uploaded a video playthrough on Vimeo (link up at the top). I know the loading time is long so I'd like to give people an alternative way of viewing the game if they don't have a Windows machine. Give it about ~30 min as of this post, it's still being processed by the site :)

I love the mechanics of this game and the art is really nice! Music is nice and soothing, great game overall!

I'm curious, what could be taking so long to load the game? Are you using asset bundle or there's just plenty of resources to load?

ghostik 2013-08-27 13:08

Nice idea with sunlight!

@ddionisio: It's the sprites. They're pretty inefficient. I am new to 2DToolkit and had some issues using the Sprite Batcher. I'm going through right now and trying to optimize things so everything will load smooth. Right now every sprite is its own object, which is a HORRIBLE way to do things!

andrewkennedy 2013-08-27 16:18

Optimized it a bit this morning, looks like everything is loading a lot quicker now. Thanks for your patience.

The art and animation are great. The light mechanic was a nice theme touch as well. Good job

kragnir 2013-08-27 22:53

Nice mechanics but a bit on the slow side. I believe getting hit should grant invulnerability for a short time. Nice graphics and nice music.

cwkx 2013-08-28 18:49

Fun to play, good work!

evilobjective 2013-08-29 15:58

Very neat game! Although on the second level I fell completely through the world and had to restart.

darien 2013-08-29 16:18

The music is a bit loud. Other than that, you have a pretty fun platformer here, with shades of A Boy and His Blob; after I cleared the first area, though, it returned a "fatal content error" and just stopped.

Wow ! Great concept, great graphic, cool sound. I love this game. Good work !

xblinkedx 2013-09-15 18:03

Wow, really good game! Loved the art style, great mechanics, very well made :)
