You nailed the looks and feel of a Game and watch type game. I would love to have this on mobile. Great job.

Loved this. Great idea and throwback to those old handhelds.

Fantastic atmosphere you've captured in this entry, down to graphics, mechanics, and even sound. The audio may be the weakest point though, some sound effects sound really fatiguing. I get the aesthetic you were going for but maybe get an equalizer on some of those sounds, specially the one that plays when you complete watering the plant.

This game has the perfect amount of retro-feel to it. It's simplistic, easy to pick up and grasp, and absolutely wonderful. My only complaint is that occasionally I would move into a spot where an object had just disappeared and still lose a life, which felt a little bit frustrating at times. Nice game!

The look and sounds are spot on for a game and watch clone. The game is a bit hard to figure out though. I'm not sure where the eggs are hitting my bunny.

ahahahaha, popstation game!, great job on capturing the graphics, sound and mood of those game dude :D
really bring me back to good old 90s :D

The graphics are really cute. It does make me think of the old LCD games that I got a long time ago.

lurils 2015-12-15 04:32

I'm sorry, seems that, for some reason (haven't figured out yet), an egg will still count as a hit up to a second after it's been gone, trying to figure out why...

deepbluejeer 2015-12-15 04:46

Good job, a very solid entry

diest 2015-12-15 05:43

Perfectly imitated the gamenwatch feel.

tomenluca 2015-12-15 17:41

Great atmosphere in this game. The graphics and audio go incredibly well with the game.

I'm still not sure "what" is going on in the game. I get the rabbit and the water droplets cause the plants to grow in segments... but some how the birds make you lose... The conveyance wasn't there.

visually, it is indeed a game and watch, good work.

2 button controls, yes, though it would have been nice to see something more done with them other than a basic left and right movement.

Pretty great for 3 days.

This really made me nostalgia. The way you recreated these old tiger electronics/game and watch games is amazing! The gameplay in itself is also lots of fun, even if it is a little hard to avoid the crap.

nizar89 2015-12-15 19:40

That retro feeling is just perfect.

brainstorm 2015-12-15 19:46

Really feels as a Game & Watch. Everything in the game is nice, except that it's a bit repetitive after a while. Great game. Also, why have took down the innovation category? :)

4/5

lurils 2015-12-15 19:57

I don't think I added much to it while trying to mimic an old style, so there is no innovation here, in my opinion -w-

jeroen-kappe 2015-12-15 22:28

Wow really like this game

fistmaker 2015-12-16 01:03

Game and Watch! I used to play these as a kid. Good job emulating one!

kbf123 2015-12-16 04:28

Liked the Game and Watch look and feel

roseninja 2015-12-16 04:28

love this little game, nice artwork good job

danielsann7 2015-12-16 17:02

pure nostalgia to the old super-market handhelds, good job =D

liquidmedia 2015-12-16 17:14

Nice looking game fun to play

freddyw9 2015-12-16 17:20

That is awesome, really feels like I'm playing on an old casio watch or something.

newbeings 2015-12-16 18:33

Yeah, you nailed that style you were going for. Good work : )

Is the rhythm of the game supposed to change or is that some kind of lag? That was kind of distracting to me.

lurils 2015-12-16 18:47

the only change that is supposed to happen is a small stop when you are hit, but then it goes back to the usual rhythm... otherwise it may be lag...

obsessivenerd 2015-12-17 03:07

Yeah, everyone saying you nailed the look and feel of old Game and Watch are 100% correct. Super cool.

beetracks 2015-12-18 02:35

Cute graphics. It remembers some old school pocket games. Pretty nostalgic to play this one.

gokottastudio 2015-12-20 19:47

Nice classic look, good job!

blobo 2015-12-20 21:12

Really cool! it defninitely reminds me of a Game and watch.

aeveis 2015-12-21 03:10

Very nice, I like how you keep the faded back sprites. Well executed!

loxo 2015-12-21 16:48

It really looks, sounds and feels like those old game handhelds. The graphics are cute. I like it very much!

kualitygames 2015-12-21 17:46

Really reminds me of those old mini games I used to have, it does get boring after a while, but very original concept.

zener 2015-12-21 19:16

Game&watch, cool idea. Fits the theme very well, nice retroexperience

nightshadow0 2015-12-22 01:00

Ah, i do love this aesthetic. The bunny in particular looks adorable. The game is cute, though it does get repetitive; gradually speeding up the pace might have made it more interesting. Still, solid entry, nice work!

crucknuk 2015-12-25 19:07

Nice entry! It reminds me fo my childhood! Right in the feels, good job! ;)

nassi 2015-12-27 13:27

It feels like a Game & Watch game through and through. In both the positive and the negative connotations.

nowandstudios 2015-12-31 11:58

Right in the childhood :o. You've done very nice work.

oparisy 2016-01-02 13:49

Gosh, my childhood! Very nicely executed, definitely in the theme. Lacked some incentive except highscoring, like I suppose most of those actual Game&Watch did :)

adsilcott 2016-01-02 17:34

Beautiful game that makes me feel nostalgic. Great use of the theme too. A little easy, but otherwise excellent.

2016-01-03 12:03

Super nice. Fun and beautiful artwork.

frederickk 2016-01-05 00:15

This is great!
Really got the feeling of game and watch!
