Great job on your game! I feel like its a good challenge and I enjoyed playing it a lot. I like the low poly style a lot as well. I did the same with my game for the compo. Excellent tutorial as well!

Here is my game if you get a chance! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/robot-vs-you

I enjoyed the game a lot, one of the few I will keep.

Good job and great introductory tutorial! One thing: you may want to include a quit game option or at least an in-game menu, if you already have I am sorry I could not find.

Nice game ! I love the style and it is very Zen ! :)

Very good game. No way to quit? Next step for me would be to add different plants.

Trackpad acceleration was a little slow on mac laptop, but it was very enjoyable!

@Shoj92 Yeah I knew about this problem since Day 1, but I couldn't increase trackpad sensitivity (easily) without making mouse sensitivity too fast.

@James Leib Gotcha! An options menu next time so the user could adjust it themselves would be awesome to keep in mind then ^^

@Shoj92 Yeah, I definitely should have added a menu for sound/sensitivity/quitting.

I followed your work throught blogpost, and.. woah! This is an awesome colorful ambient! Loved the game concept also, shooting at trees is damn fun XD I noticed that there isn't a menu for pause-quit, but is ok, just a jam entry! You have plenty of time to improve and polish it.

Thinking about this in a VR enviroment... and WHOA... killer game!

Thanks for your work!

Just to note, the Windows exe-version got hammered by Symantec Virus Proctection. I was still able to run the game from the source in Unity.

This was very calming game. Even though you did not do the music, at least you chose a good tune. There could be some real potential with the idea. This game with actual animations etc. could have real potential.

The only major nitpick I have is that it was occasionally hard to hit the target I wanted to hit. I think this might have something to do with Windows but the bullet did not always go where I expected it to go.

Really cool game game. Overall really good. Intesting concept. I only have i think 2 minor bits of feedback. The mouse moved alot faster horizontally so was a little difficult to control. And the bullet collisions wasn't perfect but still managed to get quite far and had fun doing it :) Thanks for sharing.

@Nash thanks for the info on virus protection.

darkanice 2018-04-23 14:46 ♥ 1

nice game, very innovative puzzles, would love to see this as a full game!

james-leib 2018-04-23 15:35 ♥ 1

@Nash can you do me a big favour and just check if the new windows version works?

benpeterson 2018-04-23 15:38 ♥ 0

i think the hitboxes are a tiny bit off on the trees

nice job on the modeling and land

connor-mcgrory 2018-04-23 17:56 ♥ 1

I noticed that I couldn't shoot through the branches to target other trees.

Nice low-poly models and cool particles! (I'm a sucker for particle explosions)

Such a relaxing game ! Nice graphics. It's a cool combination of genre from which result a unexpectedly fun gameplay.
