Was kinda fun. Gotta make sure the popcorn is evenly cooked.
Damn those are some hungry plants
A pretty fun little game, well done ! I just think you could simplify controls by doing the rotation of the popcorn canon according to mouse position, it would be smoother imo.
Fun game!
pokipsy: Thanks for playing and good point! Only switching that could be confusing, though, because the mouse button would shoot with a different thing. But now that I think, it would be possible to make the game mouse-only simply by using right and left mouse buttons. For example, microwave still on left mouse button and the cannon on right button. I don't know if it makes easier to misclick, though. Might need testing.
Looks great, fun too.
The only problem i have is that they dont seem to pop, even if i frantically hit the mouse button.
Still, a small interesting little game.
g12345: Oh, I should have mentioned that you have to hold the mouse button to cook popcorns. However, don't hold for too long, you don't want to burn them.
This is a really charming game. There's something satisfying about popping that popcorn too. I agree with the other comments about the controls though - could definitely use some simplification.
Nice game
Interesting use of the theme. Those plants are hungry!
Clever idea and actually really fun game mechanic! I only had my track pad so it was pretty tough, but I enjoyed it
Fun one. I echo the mouse only comments. It was one of the more unique takes on the theme!
Simple and fun!
Damn, those plants are hungry!
It felt kinda weird to use keys to rotate, but overall, nice entry!
"The sound effects are my recordings"... It's just soo cool :D Really like the music and the sound effects in this game. Good and fun atmosphere.
Thanks for the incredibly detailed feedback on my game. I will check out your game when I get a chance. :)
Really nice concept great graphics. Its really fun gameplay
A fun game, the plants get hungry and wither quickly. Good job and nice entry.
36290 :) Nice gameplay. First I tried to shoot up into the air and hope that randomness will split all the popcorn among the plants but this was inefficient. So I ended up just shooting directly into the plants. It was fun and quite challenging at the same time. Maybe you could increase difficulty slightly over the time :). Good job.
Billiogadar: The difficulty actually does increase over time but maybe too slightly. :) It's just linear with quite a low coefficient. I didn't really have time to balance it. Or, to be honest, I'm not really sure what would be a reasonable way to increase difficulty. It shouldn't be too quick but probably not too slow either (like now). Thanks for playing, though!
really like the concept, could be nice irl
Nice game, like nothing I ever played before :)
