Love the graphics! The game is pretty cool. Maybe you could add some collisions on teh big carrot to force the player to move all over the place. Great work!

tritegames 2014-12-08 23:07

Thanks! could you explain, what you mean by "add some collisions"?! I guess you found a weak spot. Feedback much appreciated :)

Cute game, this is the kind of game that would have done well on my old arcade site guildhallonline.com when it was active!

mincemeat 2014-12-09 09:43

Pretty fun game. Music was a little grating in my opinion but other than that, it was fun.

nuclearnapalm 2014-12-09 09:48

Art style is awesome! These children...so ugly...I want to shoot them so much!))) Great job!

tokw 2014-12-09 09:49

Cool game accidentally stress tested it, when i couldn't move and had no problems with lots of mutants on the screen. However i wasn't killed and neither was my carrot.

jhice 2014-12-09 09:51

Well made game. Voted 4 for theme, graphics, audio and humour.

rocketship 2014-12-09 09:51

Everyone knows killing (mutant) children is the best way to spend your past time and this game offers a ton of that so it's fantastic

klave 2014-12-09 09:54

The fact that when a carrot enters in contact with the enemies triggers a camera movement is quite enjoyable.

mrbadivan 2014-12-09 10:00

Nice graphics!

naoistheguardian 2014-12-09 10:15

A fun, silly game, not much missing from this one.

tuism 2014-12-09 10:28

Great:
> Juiciness
> Animation
> Sounds
> Juiciness!
> The zombies moving through the forest seems to add a level of anticipation because you can't hit them there, which is cool, though if the carrots hit the forest itself and not went through it would have made more sense.

But:
> The carrot attack was way too loud and repetitive. Got irritating fast.
> You're throwing a million carrots to save one carrot :) It's big, sure, but doesn't make sense :p
> The first zombie arrow indicator seems superfluous, especially when there's already the zombie head in the forest one.
> Too easy? Too easy.
> Lack of variety in attacks and situations.

tritegames 2014-12-09 14:41

Thank you all (@Tuism, @Tokw, @Mincemeat) for the positive and critical feedback! We will keep it in mind when working on a post jam version. We are glad to hear, that the game, despite some minor issues, is actually as fun to play as we hoped to achieve :)

digibody 2014-12-09 19:18

It was suprisingly fun.
Need to make the carrot grow and grow and the level progresses. Otherwise it was getting a bit monotonous. Was hoping it gets more hectic as time went on but it didnt.

jhrrsn 2014-12-09 19:21

Very solid, great job with the art & sound especially. I got to about 56 kills and died, I'd be interested to see different enemies or something in a post release version!

imaginarymonsters 2014-12-09 19:23

Pretty fun and manic. Maybe some pickups or more things to compel players to move around the arena? It seemed like I could stand still and do o.k. but I may have quit early before difficulty scale caught up with me. Nice work!

notnasiul 2014-12-09 22:50

Basic gameplay but properly implemented, well done! : )

kchplr 2014-12-09 22:54

That's a lot of fun, but indeed there's no incentive to move. I reached 240 kills before I decided to move (only to die a little after). A nice way to make the player move might be to make so the enemies randomly drop some bonuses the player needs to pick up, or something along those lines maybe ?

buzzjeux 2014-12-09 22:56

Ahah very funny and really cool pixel art, need a bit more polished to become a very great game congratz !

flegmatical 2014-12-09 23:03

Very good graphics and audio. It's a bit too easy, though, as I ended up quitting because I was starting to get bored. So mybe up the challenge a bit? Also nice and tight controls and feedback from the game, it feels very "juicy" when you fire carrots and defeats enemies.

madcapacity 2014-12-09 23:04

Great artwork, the mechanic was fun but I found the audio of throwing the carrot to got a little annoying once you were firing a lot of them. It drowned out the awesome music.

Felt good to play - nice job!

the-arrival 2014-12-09 23:04

Well, we ha a pretty similar idea... kind of ;)
If you want to play another carrot defender, check out our game :)

Well done, mate!

gnutek 2014-12-09 23:06

Simple and fun. Nice audio and neat graphics!

cyrixd 2014-12-09 23:07

Simple & solid game play, I really dug the sound track and the art style!

adventureislands 2014-12-09 23:09

Not bad, pretty solid entry. There is some things that could be improved, like the gameplay could be more varied, and the throwing sound is too loud and gets very irritating fast. Also the game doesn't seem to get any harder.

oinariman 2014-12-09 23:12

I like the music and the strange mood. Enemy indicators are cool.

lukepilgrim 2014-12-09 23:16

very cool animations!

danidre14 2014-12-09 23:17

Really an awesome end-less game! I never got bored, even at my death of 116 kills and 47 as my score!
The music is awesome, the art and fun was top notch!
XD
Play my game too, would ya? :3
YOU DESERVE 5 STARS FOR ALL!

ltyrosine 2014-12-10 00:08

Cool gameplay, amazing graphics. Sounds needs some adjustments on volume. Controls also need some work. Overall, a good game.

egos 2014-12-10 01:11

love the graphic but after few second i say too myself what i am doing .....

Anyway good entrie

ryannielson 2014-12-10 13:31

Pretty simple but I really like the art and animations. The game's a bit easy, and I think the enemys should be able to uproot the carrot a bit quicker. Well done though.

badlydrawnrod 2014-12-10 19:16

Well, that was definitely not what I expected from an arena shooter. Quite stylish in its own way, and I like the chiptunes.

guldlock 2014-12-10 20:41

I laughed a bit out of suprisea when my first carrot hit an enemy, did not expect it to slice his head off. haha. Nice game! Love the little pause and shake when the carrot hit. Really nice detail! Well done

bio-bob 2014-12-10 21:47

I like this, it's a good bit of fun, but I think the attack sound effect should be a little quieter, and maybe the carrot attacks should collide with the larger carrot, just to force the player to move around a bit more. I love the art style! And the music is cool too.

sorlok 2014-12-11 08:07

Game is a lot of fun! Really wild art style, with a whole bunch of gore added to a cartoony world. Love the juxtaposition.

It's not clear to me how long the enemies will crowd around the carrot until you "lose". But either way, it's exciting. Great job!

HelkeGames 2014-12-11 08:17

Awesome graphics! I like the concept ^^

threstle 2014-12-11 08:35

Awesome game ! It feels really good to play and the graphics are neat ! I love the music too. ;)

dunin 2014-12-11 09:04

nice start. need more features and a better rythm (more different moments: quiet, rush...).

spotco 2014-12-11 09:11

Wasn't a whole lot to the game in terms of content, but was polished.

inhelli 2014-12-11 09:21

well done ) graphics is awesome)
i found some good ideas here for me)

waiting for your honest opinions)

rottenmage 2014-12-11 09:25

Cool! The audio levels ought to be tweaked, though. The sound effects were pretty loud for me.

larzan 2014-12-11 10:47

Beautiful splatterfest, great gfx, good sound, fun to play, just missing some power ups / level

drzanuff 2014-12-11 12:19

Gore! I like it, thank you. The dead animation is very nice.

rzuf 2014-12-11 13:34

It's so nice and juicy and... gory! :D Sadly, it gets old too quickly. I hope you add more variety and depth to this, game deserve's it!

tonbery 2014-12-11 14:50

Nice animations and action feedbacks.

Maybe more progression would be fine! :)

sublustris 2014-12-11 16:04

5 for fun :)

fil00dl 2014-12-11 18:42

frenetic fun gameplay and pretty graphics

andrewkennedy 2014-12-12 00:51

I got to 62!

I like the little slowdown mechanic when the enemies explode, nice touch. Also consider turning the music down a few notches, it's pretty loud at the moment.

hotboxgames 2014-12-12 01:19

Great little game. Animations are good, audio is nice & the game concept is great fun.

I think ammo or cooldowns would have been a good idea. Finally stopped after 420 kills when I realised there wasn't a win condition haha :)

hazard 2014-12-12 02:46

The graphics and music are great!
Some constructive criticism:
The difficulty ramps up WAY too slowly. You can't keep the excitement up when you do the same thing for 5+ minutes without much challenge. Also the ability to move seems pointless, because it doesn't give you any benefit over just standing in the middle. Collectible power-ups would have been a nice way to make it more interesting and make movement useful. Also the carrot throwing sound is way too loud for a sound that's playing pretty much constantly on loop.

deyteris_team 2014-12-12 10:07

Really liked the graphics, fun to play. But would be better if add more character animation

pixelcrust 2014-12-12 12:44

Nice, gameplay would feel repetitive after a while but overall its a neat little game :)

tritegames 2014-12-12 12:47

Wow, we played so many different games and got so much appreciation and constructive criticism from all of you. We really try to play all of the games of you guys, who comment here. It might have happened, that we skipped one or two and we are very sorry, if that's the case for your game. If you haven't received a comment from us, maybe you can remind us again. Thanks :)

dracomagna 2014-12-12 13:49

Really cool game, I love the graphics and the animation.
It's like killing a lot of Krillin xD
Good job! :D

gre 2014-12-12 14:14

zkenshin 2014-12-12 21:02

Solid entry, well done!

snickersnacks 2014-12-12 21:43

I laughed out loud at the animations when I lost. The game concept is a little simple, so elaborating on that with powerups or some extra flavor items would be cool.

tritegames 2014-12-12 22:32

Haha thanks @snickersnacks I actually had to laugh so hard myself, when I finished the dying animation ^^

thopis 2014-12-13 08:52

Very nice and funny characters!It's fun to play too!Great work Trite Games!

gameproducer 2014-12-13 12:40

Great graphics, nice audio. Very funny animations. Would have wanted something more besides killing carrot-stealers.

Others suggest collisions (like small carrot hitting bigger carrot and so on): that actually could be interesting improvement for this game.

Well done entry.

mrhill 2014-12-13 22:20

nice game, the sound effect on the shootingthingy made it so that I couldnt hear the music. Still liked it alot though ;)

tonbery 2014-12-14 17:25

hey man, send me your twitter :)

tritegames 2014-12-14 21:58

@Kuupu I shared your game with our Twitter account @TriteGames. I linked you as @kuupudev in it, couldn't find the other member accounts of your game.

ponk 2014-12-16 22:17

Your website is down ?
Will be back later, looks beauty and fun

tritegames 2014-12-17 01:41

@ponk Sorry for that. Unfortunately I can't check right now, what the problem is. Hope you can wait another day :)

metalchouchen 2014-12-21 03:55

Damned, the music is so awesome ! The game is also really fun. Great entry. Congrats!

johnro 2014-12-21 04:43

Fun game! Very hectic.

alter 2014-12-21 06:29

awesome game!

camlang 2014-12-21 09:58

Nice art, i really love it. Simple and fun little game, nice done!

gameattack 2014-12-21 17:29

Ah ah fun! I killed my mouse button!

rico-albe 2014-12-21 20:42

If shots couldn't pass throught the big carrot you would be making the player move around.

I'd probably put the camera a bit further and get off with the indicators. Make the heads only appear throught the forest some times, like flickering. That way you'd build a lot of tension and you'd have to move around towards where you think you've seen something coming for your carrot.

Really fun game, the graphics, the screenshake, and the continous clicking made it fun to play.

Lost of possibilities for it, good job!

vikingpotato 2014-12-21 21:49

Fun game! gets overwhelming quick though

ponk 2014-12-25 23:12

Bbeaaauuttyyy and fuuUUunn :) ...!

intogamesuk 2014-12-30 00:51

Great presentation -- everything feels very satisfying, although like some other people I would've liked a bit more challenge. Lovely stuff!
