If there is one thing I want to do more in games is poo!
ah i didnt realize the first time round the orange things are snails. Really nice concept, and really nicely executed! I would loved to have seen some more critters though.
So lovely graphics, good work!!!
Yeah, there's only 2 plants and 1 animal but we planned all sorts of weird alien fauna and flora each with different behaviors and interactions. But alas such is ludum dare.
looks great, music is good, not on board with the poop sounds. I could only make three plants, and then they were generating the small seeds/poo and it just comes out the same... gross game. good work
The graphics are really nice and cute. The poo is hilarious. Neat idea! Playing as a dinosaur is sweet.
Loved the graphics and the overall sense of fun.
@elliottd Ha ha yeah it's a bit gross...
Loved the graphics and art style. I had to search for the meaning of LMB and RMB. Please, consider write "left/right mouse button" in the description.
Good job and good luck!
Where do you people get all this time to make such amazing music and art.
I have to say, your sense for color is amazing. Really nice visuals.
The game was also really, wish you could've made more. I ended up with snail overpopulation after a while
Edited the instructions for less acronyms
Nice graphics
POOT POOT POOT POOT. Finally a game I can relate to! I'm always pooping and eating! Seriously though. well done. I really found this idea interesting and funny. The difficulty was a little bit steep though so I didn't get that far.
Loved the pooping. Only disappointment was that the dino wouldn't poop out any more after a while
Funny idea! The art is awesome, and the controls is solid. If there is more hints in the game about my progress would be better :) Good job!
great you can eat youre poo
Anyone managed to stick with it till the end?
Interesting concept. You can't get the second plant to make seeds can you?
Funny game :D Great music
Really nice, the idea was pretty cute. I kept getting stuck though after I ate all the animals (I think). Nice job though!
@Kayelgee the 2nd plant eats snails to make seeds, it's not hinted at, you just have to experiment with it. I wanted a sense of exploration with each world adding new life forms to play with.
@Jellycakes You do have to be careful with that, make sure there's always at least one of each thing left so they can spawn more. If you plant a bulb next to a snail you'll get infinite snails after a bit lol
That was really awesome :D.
Loved the management-esque mechanics and trying to develop the life in that final level where you had to balance all the plants/animals. Even though you mentioned not getting everything you wanted done, you managed to get just enough in that it felt like a really satisfying experience after completing it, great job :D.
Thanks!
Can I pickup snails somehow or do I need to headbutt them after they spawned? I actually thought about moving snails to the plant but I had planted the second plant on the other side xD
@Kayeglee You can't pick up the snails but you can lure them with seeds if you want them to move in a certain direction. I was going to make them climb walls like snails but didn't get round to it. It's possible to head butt them around but it's tricky to do.
This is hilarious. By the end of my play session, I was eating my own poo, then pooping it back out. This was some great entertainment, and the graphics are pretty neat too. If you keep working on it, you should put in more animal types and perhaps some that could eat you too.
@recursor Thanks. Your game is fun as well. If we expanded the game we'd probably add some danger element but not any combat (want to keep it about exploration and experimentation), maybe an exploding/burning seed that lets you burn plants you don't want anymore or some kind of snappy plant that blocks your path. Maybe some physics/mind altering seeds? lol
You can eat your own shit GOTY
@MechanicMoon I think your 3 eyed space pigs would get along with my pooping dino lol
Sadly my Unity web player isn't working (not your fault). Would have loved to play the game! looks like a game for me :D
Cool visual style and nice concept.
The mix of 3d and hand drawing is really cool.
I went till the second world, but I wasn't able to obtain new orange seed. Maybe those orange plant doesn't produce them or I miss something.
@Colapsydo The orange plant is carnivorous, feed it snails
This was crazy but pretty cool. Nice job
Haha, I like how much effort you put into the farting sounds :D But seriously, this game is awesome! I couldn't stop playing. Very relaxing. I would have liked to see more complex ecosystems. I am sure this would make a great mobile app! You know, pooping some snails while waiting for the bus :D
Awesome work!
Very cute dino :) Great job!
Nice game, congrats!
The pooping sound is awesome. Fun game. GJ.
A poopping dino! It is sad you ran out of time, same thing happened to us too. Graphics are colourful and the audio is neat. Good job!
We're very happy with what we did, the main mechanics are working and there's an end lol
the game is so cute haha! :))
very nice visuals and yeah 10/10 on the poo mechanic man.
really awesome game! good job! :D
Graphics are great!
This game is simply amazing. It did take me a while to figure out that the snails were in fact snails, and not just a limited supply of food for me to turn into poo. I'm glad I stuck it out.
Yeah the snail spiral on the shells doesn't really come out in the water colour style. I had them walking about randomly at first but then I broke it and then kinda like how they look like dormant rocks until some food was around so kept it that way.
It's been a while since I had to do tactical pooping in a game!
very funny! these snails get a plague really quick :) catchy tune and nice artwork.
Cute monster :D I included it in part 22 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/_5a2Oj9U9sk
i liked the style, especially the texture of the world, but after finding out i had to eat the big stones and poop them into the earth, i didn't know what to do anymore? :/
@Pythong, poop the seeds into the green grass to make plants
@Jupiter_Hadley Thanks man!
Very cool game! I liked the game mechanic and the music was great, too. Love the graphics style.
Fun idea. The music and art create a nice atmosphere.
The sounds add a ... I'm gonna say novel element, as well. :)
So, at first I experienced what I suspect to be the normal pitch range for the randomized poots. "poot, little-poot, moderate-poot, pt, poot, etc" Then, without warning, "POOOOT ... PUUUUUUT ... P-P-P-P-EW-EW-EW-EW-T" Ultra-low-frequency. Ultra-low! I mean, I'm pretty sure I may have just interfered with whale migration for the next few days.
Nice style with the water colors. I was only able to make the big flower that spit out seeds. I never saw any other plants or animals :(
@Rage Paint, the big rocks are actually snails, feed them seeds to make more.
Pooping is always fun. Really enjoyed rest of the game too :)
That was a lot of fun :) Loved the visuals and the relaxed atmosphere.
Didn't beat the second world because I couldn't figure out how to fill the orange meter more than about two thirds. Eventually the game would slow to a crawl with hundreds of snails other things covering the planet.
Had a great time - would love to see the ideas you didn't have time to implement during the jam fleshed out :)
Interesting idea with walking on a planet but I felt like spending most of my time walking to reach plants or snails. Also couldn't get the point of second level really. I think this might be something if there were more variation to what player can do. Cute little game, liked it.
mmmm my favorite music so far... i want to grow plants into forever
Woo, scored highly on humour again. Too bad about the theme. Thanks for playing and commenting guys!
