Very nice games, controls temperamental. Good Works

Nice art and sprites, although the game could be better with some music and sfx for attacks and jumping.

Controls are nice but the jump is odd. Why have a double jump when the normal jump is so impossibly short, and theres ladders everywhere? You could have just had one jump and had it be twice as high.

Player cant get hurt so there is no challenge.

No sound really hurts it.

You can swing in both directions at the same time.

I like the concept though. I could see this being really good with some more polish.

frondeus 2014-12-08 22:32

There should be music and sfx. I like graphics and it's hard to hit the enemy when it is to close.

zanaku 2014-12-08 22:33

Good fun!
Found attacking a bit problematic, but I can see why you're forced to be stationary.
Sorely missing audio, but the graphics were fab.

What a great game! I can see myself coming back to this one!!
Great art, controls, story, theme... I really enjoyed it

Nice game!
Easy to play, but some sound would be great. And a little more about the objective...

dookie 2014-12-08 22:33

Cute little game, I like the idea of having to protect something else from the enemies than the main character. Got super hard really quick, though! :)

pjimmy 2014-12-08 22:34

nice game, very smooth gameplay and great visuals

xwarzonex 2014-12-08 22:34

Really nice game. Its fun to play, but how do you win?

anael 2014-12-08 22:35

pretty game

gwenn 2014-12-08 22:36

Very nice game with beautiful graphics. Really smooth and pleasant controls. Quite challenging though, my little plant died after a few days and I didn't really understood what I did wrong.

cxsquared 2014-12-08 22:37

Nice and simple game. I really like the art and the game play is very enjoyable. Music would really make the game great.

thermite 2014-12-08 22:37

Nice theme and graphics, but the controls were a bit stiff and awkward.

tompudding 2014-12-08 22:37

Looks great. I don't agree that there's no challenge because the player can't get hurt, I liked that. On the other hand the gameplay was a bit repetitive. The bridge was cool though!

dalbinblue 2014-12-08 22:46

Very nice simple game. Completed it o my second time (didn't realize until too late that you needed to ration the water and soil to survive the last two days). The graphics and controls are very nice as well. Controls are very easy to mess up, so it was good to see the first game I rate get this done right.

The only real critical items I have to say are
1. As you stated, no sound, and
2. It was difficult to tell if my attack hit the enemies that take more than one hit or if I was being effective. The first time I played I thought I was attacking a large bug, but it was actually outside the attack box even though I thought it was hitting. A flash, or a little "-1" poppoing up over the head of the enemy (or an audio) queue would have made this a bit more obvious.

Really nice art and a really cool concept. It's definitely better with sound, but I do like the way the difficulty ramps up nice and quickly

ryannielson 2014-12-09 15:02

Nice art, could be an interesting game. The controls really need some work though, much too floaty and temperamental. It could really use some sound as well.

waschtl 2014-12-09 15:03

Technically, this is really clean. Very nice art style. Sounds and music would really add to the experience. Mechanically, the jump seems a bit off and could be higher.

forge 2014-12-09 15:05

Very nice game,
Simple idea, ncie graphics and effects.
Unfortunatly was realy lacking sound / music.

maniulo 2014-12-09 15:13

It took some time to figure out that I could double-jump. Got really hard after the third kind of enemies appeared.

jaycee23 2014-12-09 18:53

I think I found a bug.

alvarop 2014-12-09 18:57

Cute game. The rope is kinda weird and I wish you had had time to put sound in the compo version.

klianc09 2014-12-09 19:15

As others already said: nice graphics, sadly no sound or music, stiff controls, no feedback if enemies are hurt.
And that fifth day is really hard, I just can't beat it. Would be great if the droplets wouldn't go to waste, when your plant isn't even damaged.

dracomagna 2014-12-09 19:19

Yeah I did it!
Really nice and pretty game, it was really fun to play! :D

hazel-bun 2014-12-09 22:04

Great game overall! It took me a second to get over to the water but, after I figured that out things went smoothly. Nice use of the theme and the music was very nice.

belowzerogames 2014-12-10 01:39

Great game smooth controls nice art. Just when I had to use the vine to get to the water I was in trouble.

eduardo 2014-12-10 01:45

Nice art style, it's cute! :D

xanjos 2014-12-10 02:42

Could do with some sound but this is a pretty good entry. The controls (especially the jumping) do need some tweaking though.

endesga 2014-12-10 03:02

Awesome game! I love it :D

murchurl 2014-12-10 06:35

For a compo entry this is pretty good! I enjoyed some of the physics like the bridge and vine! good job!

xhunterko 2014-12-11 03:05

Very nicely done artwork!

boracho 2014-12-11 03:20

good fun. The attack collisions are a little weird, but overall a fun game.

rayman1900 2014-12-11 03:59

Very cool game and well balanced! I really like the switch of responsabilities between the night and day. I like the Pikmin Cameo !

tanner101010 2014-12-11 05:42

NICE GAME. I lost though :( wish I could upgrade my attacks

spotco 2014-12-11 10:27

Liked the feel of the swing vine and bridge (even though they weren't a core part of the gameplay), however the combat needed work.

Enemy hits didn't feel very "solid", especially for such a core part of the game. A lot of the things mention in this video by vlambeer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJdEqssNZ-U) would really help, including knockback, persistence, screenshake, etc.

jupitron 2014-12-11 13:41

Nice game, cool style but controls are a bit weird, it would be nice to see an improved ver. Came here from duval!

snoutup 2014-12-12 00:50

Fighting was tricky, but I did it! ^_^

cabezotta 2014-12-12 03:02

Nice one! good work!

badlydrawnrod 2014-12-12 22:23

Very buggy game. :p In all seriousness, the graphics are really nice.

peeweek 2014-12-13 13:22

Really nice game, imho the jumping is a bit weak and erratic. But it adds difficulty. Since player is invulnerable, Maybe adding more pressure to the player would have added more balance to the game. In the end, this is a really interesting projet.

I've also tested the 3-day's version, the player control seems smoother. And the sound gives a way better feel to the game. Still, the games is rather easy.

Great work!

mrexcessive 2014-12-13 16:23

Hi there. Love the graphics and animations. The controls are a little flaky I think, especially jump off rope and attack - monster can't be too close or you miss... though maybe you intended that one. Shame no sounds. Nice idea protecting a plant. Good job!

rono 2014-12-14 16:17

Nice game and graphics.

HelkeGames 2014-12-14 17:29

Awesome graphics! Well done! Really fun to play

nekith 2014-12-14 18:10

Nice gfx. Sound is ok.
Is it possible to win ?

otrorainteractivo 2014-12-14 18:17

It is possible

barryrowe 2014-12-15 04:35

The graphics and controls are great. I wish the attack collision was extended over your body so if they walk under you it still hurts the enemy. I'm rating on the version without sound. I feel like this game with sound would be very enjoyable. It's great as is, but missing that satisfying sound feedback. Good work.

asobitech 2014-12-16 22:08

Wonderful platforming action. Great presentation.

scam 2014-12-16 22:29

Nice artwork and concept! The lack of sound is the most biggest issue. Enchanted version fixes that and other problems as well, but I am still rating the compo version.

thopis 2014-12-17 08:36

Very cool graphics and the concept is really smart!love it :) (Now with audio is even better)

riocide 2014-12-18 12:29

I like the idea but I am missing a bit of ambience and variety!

markusfisch 2014-12-19 15:16

Nice graphics, interesting concept, well done!

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-21 20:48

Cute graphics, nice game! I Included it in part 13 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/yuPvpTdD-O8
