Haha this was great. I suppose the incompatible genres were more on the thematic than the game play. Love the art, music, the bear puns. This is a great entry. It wasn't clear to me on the first play through that the fish earned was what was allowing me to buy more bears.

donut-daria 2018-04-24 08:31

@slunkey thank you for your feedback!

malobil 2018-04-24 08:39

Funny game I spend some good time on it =)

dekobii 2018-04-24 08:39

Better instruction would be nice. took a few plays to figure it out. Nice artwork, created a uniform experience. The music was a little too forceful and repetetive, felt a bit like a carnival. Overall a great game!

teo-sk 2018-04-24 08:39

Great game! Very nice atmosphere a fun to play, nice twist to the genre. Lovely art!

firehawk 2018-04-24 08:40

I think, it's very creative ;) Beartist and etc. Also the graphics looks nice. I like your pixelated style.

augunrik 2018-04-24 08:41

That title card is so awesome!

saering 2018-04-24 08:41

Funny game! Took me a few seconds to get how to play it but I had fun! The visual and audio was cool :D

carvster 2018-04-24 08:41

With a tagline of come slap a fish! who am I to resist?!

Funny concept, could have gone on longer got a little too easy after getting a few father bears, would have been nice to have had something to do while waiting for enough credit to by more bears!

eggshelldog 2018-04-24 08:45

I love your artworks and you have a good game name!😂 If there can be some sound effect, that can definitely help players to get into the mood.

donut-daria 2018-04-24 08:48

@malobil Thank you!

@Dekobii we were looking to do a small tutorial, but there wasn't much time left, sorry! Thank you for your feedback!

@Teo-SK @FireHawk @Augunrik @Saering thank you for your kind words! we're glad you enjoyed it <3

@Carvster I hear ya! after three days of working on it we were also craving more gameplay, but alas - not enough time, thank you for checking it out!

cliffordsix 2018-04-24 08:49

I bearly made it through the first time. But now I've played it a few times and I love it. 10/10

donut-daria 2018-04-24 08:54

@GoldRanger thank you, we might have enjoyed ourselves a bit too much writing those bear puns!

@CliffordSix we're beary grateful for your feedback!

drikdrok 2018-04-24 08:58

I get this weird urge to go slap some fish...

For real tho, great game! I only wish there was an endless mode.

Solid entry :)!

tokkiseul 2018-04-24 08:59

Amazing graphics and concept!! I really had fun playing with those adorable bears and fish 😍

donut-daria 2018-04-24 09:00

@drikdrok tbh I would pay good money for a VR Fish Slapping Simulator! Thank you!

donut-daria 2018-04-24 09:07

@tokkiseul we're glad you liked it! thank you for your kind words!

Cool little game, I really enjoyed the russian feel. Because everyone knows all bears are russian, right? I liked the chosen color palette, but I would very much like to know the difference in the two bears. Is the difference only made by the power? Some attack animation of the sprites would also be nice, as it could be much more satisfying to kill those peskky fishes. Domination ending is 10/10!

alexandru-buhai 2018-04-24 11:26

@fox-in-sox Thanks for the feedback! Of course all bears are Russian my comrade. The difference is made by the power, attack speed and range. The Fisherbear has higher range and power, but less attack speed, it's still worth the upgrade though. There are attack animation, maybe we didn't make them clear enough. Thanks a lot for playing!

donut-daria 2018-04-24 12:07

@fox-in-sox @alexandru-buhai unpopular opinion: all bears presented in the game are, in fact, romanian, don't @ me

magicspore 2018-04-24 17:59

Oh cool, nice art style and music))

donut-daria 2018-04-25 04:58

@MagicSpore Thank you!

zak-zeddam-zakaria 2018-04-25 10:33

cant to play the game

mfric 2018-04-25 10:37

Nice and fun game. It's a pity that game it's too short.

animaster 2018-04-25 10:46

Game is pretty fun, but too short. Anyway, the fact that i'm russian myself make me feel like i'm home. Also my pet bear like game too.

kirill-nepomnyaschiy 2018-04-25 10:49

Loved the art, granted i just love bears but pixelart is really well done :D It's a bit short and easy but really nice take on standart TD.

samuel-henderson 2018-04-25 10:57

great game and I loved the pixelated art style. It was fun to play but was a bit easy. Maybe add levels of difficulty in the future?

timotheus-25 2018-04-25 11:11

This game reminded me why I actually love tower defense games so much, thanks man! Love the pixel art!

nander 2018-04-25 11:12

Fun game, but too easy. Also, it feels like the genre combination didn't add much to the game.

donut-daria 2018-04-25 11:18

@zak-zeddam-zakaria hi! what seems to be the problem?

@mfric we're glad you liked it! yeah, we wanted to add something more, but sadly the time was running out, so we had to settle for what we had

@animaster Хей, передавай привет медвежонку! :D

@Kirill-Nepomnyaschiy thank you for your feedback! we worked really hard on it!

@Samuel-Henderson we'll definitely consider adding some stuff! Thank you!

@TIMOTHEUS-25 heeyy, good to hear!

zak-zeddam-zakaria 2018-04-25 12:17

@nander im sorry there was a mistyping, i meant i cant wait to try your game

kyyninen 2018-04-25 12:50

Works great on tablet! Every element works together brilliantly, you guys managed to create a very focused experience without anything unnecessary. I especially loved the final fish domination so much I couldn't _bear_ to look away!

donut-daria 2018-04-25 14:13

@Zak-Zeddam-Zakaria happy to hear that! I hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did while making it!

@kyyninen thank you for bearing such good news!

zak-zeddam-zakaria 2018-04-25 14:17

@donut_daria i will and feel free to check our game hope you will like it https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/incompatible-rally

kovareka 2018-04-25 16:43

It's a pity that the game is short. But I really love this game. ;)

donut-daria 2018-04-25 17:37

@kovareka glad to hear!

arron-fowler 2018-04-27 08:19

I liked it, it worked well. It would be interesting to expand it as I think there is potential.

landosystems 2018-04-28 04:26

I dominated. Nice game, good art and gameplay. Great work!

psychedelia 2018-04-29 12:34

@fox-in-sox @landosystems @kyyninen Happy to hear about all the dominating individuals out there!

jin9310 2018-04-30 09:21

VEry sweet entry. Just too shame that it is that short. Love whole mood of the game and especially the domination part!! :-D Great Job!
