Be nice if it had a little sound but it can be tough getting all that in in 48 hours!!

@theamazingb Thanks for the feedback! The sad part is that I had already recorded the sounds I wanted, but did not have enough time to put them in. I will update it to a version with sound when LD is over.

I liked how you couldn't shoot back and you were just turtling inside your farm against inevitable death. The different plants were cool, although it was a bit too simple to just build a border of watermelons.

Very entertaining! The art is nice! I got a little lost using the keys when it's fast, but that's because i suck in fast games. Great mix of genres. It's a really good idea that you have a time count to compare yourself, it would be great if i can see the time that has already passed in the game, not only at the end.

Very fun, good use of the theme, and very nice graphics. The target area for planting was not quite where I intuitively expected it to be (at the character's feet), but I got the hang of it. Great job!

Good game! It seemed to escalate rather quickly though.

Pretty cool concept. I think I found myself planting watermelons on the outsides exclusively and then corn in the middle. Not sure if there was much subtlety to the placements beyond that. I think I would have liked if there were a bit more aspects of planting more reactively in response to the enemies that you were seeing but since the enemies just showed up with continuous escalation there wasn't really a clear player heuristic to stray from that planting strategy.

Really liked the art. Really liked the originality. Love the mood of the whole thing - a farmer trying to defend his farm from the army.

Not having sound definitely hurt it quite a bit for me personally, but aside from that, very original, nailed the theme right on the head(which is something I couldn't do).

Very innovative concept, and the graphics are great. Well done.

A great idea that if expanded might make a good "real" game. Right now if I'm on the same vertical line as a Rambo when he comes on the screen I'm toast. As far as I can tell, dandelions don't have a use though...

Still, good idea pretty well executed and could be even better with some more refinement.

It was a very great idea. Playing it was so funny, tho I wasnt able to change items(srry if I played wrong). The graphics are, good but you should add some audio cuz it will change the mood of the game. Just bring a microphone and record sound with your mouth(or just use bfxr) and for the music use BoscaCeoil. Anyways I had fun playing it, good game!

Nice graphics! I like the fact that the plants also have an energy meter.

oab 2018-05-14 15:00

Nice idea. It will be more fun if plants can fight back.

Awesome game! I liked all of the neat mechanics and how the different plants had different abilities. Would have loved some wacky sound effects that matched the art style! Great work

I'd love if you could play and rate my game too :heart: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/win-my-heart-battle-royale-dating-sim

Interesting concept! it felt a bit clunky where to plant and how that worked, but pretty interesting overall work!

crimson 2018-05-14 15:43

Thanks to everyone for the feedback! Some of you asked about sound, the truth is I had already recorded the sound effects I wanted in the weekend of LD41, but had no time to put them in the game. After voting is over, I'll make sure to update with a post-jam version with sound, some small balance changes for the plants and soldiers, and improved hitboxes. Thanks again for your comments!

Nice game! I love the concept. I first thought that the right side was my team and the left was the enemy but I realized quickly that I was mistaken since I was bombarded from both sides :D

The graphics were very nice and it was really fun to play. I think if you could make it last longer and the difficulty more gradual that would be better. Also, you could consider using my first assumption and make this farmer the first line of defense for one of the teams. That could make things more interesting. All in all great work. Congratulations :)

I followed you. If you decided to make a post-jam version let me know :)
