Missing a tutorial of some sort, I didn't understand what to do exactly
Thank you for your comment!
I got to Earth! And only 1000+ people got eaten! Not that bad if I say so myself.
I kind of understood what I needed to do? To be honest I just planted at random and got the food, and as soon as there was no more water I was off to the next planet. There is some potential here, but I felt like I did not need to spend very much time on a planet before going to the next so I never really slowed down to take in anything else. I did win at least.
The theme is well represented and the idea is quite unique. There are quite a few things that needs improvement: like a more clear tutorial, the music was a bit glaring, the UI was a bit scattered and unclear and the list of planets was very low-res. Also not a fan of having the "logo" of the game right smack in the middle of the play-screen... Feels a bit out of place?
Still! It's a full game, so a great effort!
Thank you !
Hey! I don't see the game entirely on the screen (even on fullscreen mode). chrome_2018-08-15_15-46-21.png
Perhaps you can upload an exe version of your game and/or readjust the canvases? Thanks! :D
Great game! Very cool and interesting! :D
Can you post some description of the controls? I clicked (right and left) the plots, the food, and the people and nothing discernible happened. @netguy204 me and I'll come back and rate.
@netguy204 Controls: Left Mouse Click to seed and harvest. Right Mouse Click remove seed from cursor. Humans, Tomatoes, Gears are not clickable there are just there as information how the space of your rocket is occupied. You can click on repair to repair the rocket and cleared the gear spaces. Launch to jump to the nex planet. Please don't hesitate to comment. Thank you.
Nice game you got here. I really like the concept. Graphics are nice and UI layout works well. Nice entry!
Thank you !
Great but tutorial should be good, good graphics and nice concept ! Good work ;)
It took me a while to figure out that you had to right-click to remove the seed from the cursor before you could harvest. Other than that, the game was simple enough, nice work!
Thanks to everyone who's played our game, as suggested we've added a small how to play section in description.
Nice game! Simple but fun mechanic. I screwed up a little bit on the second planet (So many dead people!!) but because of that i could fit much more food in the spaceship and finally managed to beat the game. It felt a bit like an exploit but considering that so many innocent people had to die for it, maybe it wasn't. I only saved 450 or so. :D
It was hard figuring out what to do because the seeds I think were off screen. The canvas was too small
The idea is great, however There is something missing in the design to push the player to stay on a planet. I can reach earth by just harvesting some yellow crop and launch as fast as possible to the next planet. I guess the number of person you saved and the number you ate act as a score. Also the game pace is a bit to fast, there is no tutorial phase. The audio and graphics are cool though, I think that if you tweak the mechanics a little the game could be very enjoyable.
Lovely game! I really enjoyed.
Good in general, the game gets easier as you let people die. The theme was just a broken gears that clears out automatically or not (maybe bug). Stressfully fun, the moment you stop clicking you're dead, but I liked the mood overall, the audio really fits! Nice little game
Look and feel was good, and the music fit the atmosphere of the game. Was a bit confused at first but after two or three reads through the rules I got it. Didn't really get how the water usage was related to planting, but at some point I ran into a planet where I could stock up on food (one plant seemed to do really well), and I just raced through the last 4 planets without planting anything. The mechanic can be interesting but needs some more balancing I think. One thing I found interesting was that the well-being of your people depended on how fast you played the game. I think this is pretty unusual for these types of games, so this is definitly an interesting design decision.
Hey, I ran into the resolution issues mentioned above. Liked the music though! Felt like some kind of tutorial or in game help would have been good too. Cool concept, can see how it could be developed further.
Can't seem to see the entire game as well. Looking forward to try it
I agree with the tutorial, maybe just a blurb about what to do I am still kinda confused, am I planting to keep the people alive so I can go from planet to planet? Either way pretty solid output for a weekend.
Well Done in creating a full game! I enjoyed playing it however I think it needs a tutorial, or some kinda guided world before it ramps up. The different types of planets and their effects on the growing of plants isn't clear. The music and graphics suit the game and mood. Best of luck if you pursue this further.
Interesting game idea but I think the pace is way too fast. I couldn't even use up all the farm space because the plants would be ready before I could plant 1 row.
Great game. Wery solid looking design and GFX. But tutorial is needed. Anyway 5/5, well done !
Got the same problem, as it was mentioned above. Idea is pretty good, but my low-res screen cannot show me the full picture of the game.
Took me a bit to understand what I was going, but I liked the concept. The music was nice, and the game looks complete, so overall nice job!
I see no seeds on my 2880 x 1800 screen, either. I can tell from the screenshots it's off-screen to the left, so I'm unable to click on it. Here's the screenshot of it, in full-screen:

@omiya-games I think it's the screen ratio. We had some issues and the display is fixed at 1920x1080.
