+The potato gun was fun to use. Could have used some sound though.
+It's an interesting concept, having to go out and scavenge your ingredients instead of being given them.
+The music loop was pretty alright.

-I genuinely had no idea what I was doing. Didn't know what the purpose of the fields or cows were and kind of just ran aimlessly.
-Enemies have a pre-defined spawn. You could've given it some slight variations. Enemies also spawn inside the camera. (hint: Use Random.Range and the Camera's Viewport)
-The game lacked an inventory.
I feel like you didn't have enough time to truly flesh out the game. This can actually end up being something quite unique. I say, keep working on it, you have something here.
It was a bit unclear on what one has to do to get the ingredients but I eventually figured it out. Cute game anyway, though a bit lacking in challenge.
Fun idea, and pretty fun to play! I like lobbing potatoes with the potato gun!

The art is cute, and the idea is pretty unique. Though, I'm not sure it's there is much 'incompatibility' going on with the 2 ideas. It mostly is just a run-n-gun with a specific setting.
Good job!
@call-me-nutty there is an inventory.
No way I'm working on that piece of trash game ever again :joy: It was all rushed and I wasn't feeling like woring. :stuck_out_tongue:
Fun idea but the gameplay could've used some work. Most of the gametime is spent waiting for meters to fill up while clicking on the right side of the screen to keep shooting potatoes. Having to move around and dodge things while waiting could've helped a lot.
Definitely a niche little idea that has at least *some* amount of potential, and the potato gun/stringless guitar definitely had its charm. The graphics were appealing and neat too, and I'm definitely flattered by the many references in the game.
Sadly, I can't say it's an amazing game (and I know you agree with me). Though the gameplay in essence is fun, it's not polished enough in its current state, and about 80% of the game is time-gated content by waiting for bars to fill. There's little challenge except not getting jump-scared by an enemy spawning right on top of you, and a severe lack of interactivity.
I loved the concept of having a potato gun, however I experienced some glitches throughout the game ( going up with a chicken and dying, kitchen not allowing me to cook, etc). Still I think you did great and it was quite fun to play!
Crazy and fun game, I liked it! :potato:
Crazy idea! I loved!
Congratulations for the game!

Fun game.
I like the premise and bizarre mood of this game! After multiple attempts to complete it and not being able to cook everything at the end, I eventually gave up, but had some fun doing so. The graphics could use some consistency, but the music didn't bother me and the controls felt alright enough!
Neat. For a compo, pretty good. There's music, there's proper art, and there's basic gameplay. I found it a little bit confusing at first, but it wasn't a big issue. However, I didn't really have any idea what I'd get from the different food sources. Like that first farm. I can't tell if that's a garlic farm or carrot farm or potato farm or whatever it is. Just some simple text above would suffice.
Why do you use J for inventory? There's not a lot of buttons in the game, so it's annoying that I have to lift my right hand from the mouse to press a button on the keyboard. Not a big deal, just a minor thing that's easy to fix.
Overall, good game. Fun and goofy, which is great for game jams. Good job!
Nice concept!
Is there a way to know the number of actual resources? (didn't find it)
It could be great with more visual/sounds effects (ex: when resources are collected or when percentage completion is complete).
Good job! Especially for a compo game. :)
It's got a super groovy tune. I really liked the music. Could have used more sound effects, but the music was great. The cooking controls were somehow difficult to understand at first, but it was a serviceable enough solution to make it work. All in all it's a really fun entry!
That is probably the greatest walk animation ever, what a solid prance! I liked the idea but the game probably could've used a few more hrs of dev time to get to where it needed to be. Some variety in enemies to shake up the gameplay would've really fleshed this out.
Thank you all for your feedback! :smile:
