Wow the art and animations look really nice! Good job!
Love the art and sound, gives the game a proper feel. Really liked playing it actually, it's fast paced giving a good challenge!
Overall the game looks and feels great. I loved the simple music :D
That gat'dam spooky poopy bird keeps getting me - I run out of my house to distract him from pooping on my plants but he either kills them all then me or just rushes me and kills me before my useless fingers can control me back in my hut.
That was a wild ride
Nice looking game, couldn't water the plants though, how does one do that
Hey! Nice game,
I think the game will gain in visibility if you add a water/thirst level on the plants. It's a bit confusing to see one died whereas you just watered it a few seconds ago. Also, the crop pooper is too easy to avoid.
Nonetheless, good job to you guys on your game.
@ryanjavanshir @officialcodenmore @minemes @mediyaz @oskarolausson Thank you all, i hope you enjoyed the game.
@mediyaz that bird is really a douchebag. Just to keep in mind, your plants have more HP when in final stage.
@oskarolausson you can get water from the river, and then water your plants.
@eptwalabha thank you, i hope you enjoyed the game. The watering level was a thing i planned to add, but sadly my house was broken into and they stole my laptop. =/
Love everything, the music, the art, the gameplay... That bird is a jerk tho, I enjoyed planting and watering, although I didn't know how to do anything other than try to plant the first couple of times, although when I got the hang of it it became very fun. 10/10 would plant again. (note: if you want your game to show up for more people, you have to play other people's games and rate them, which increases your smart balance which in turn makes your game more likely to pop up for other people)
@edwingamedev yeah your game was nice... and about your laptop, sorry to ear that :s
@eptwalabha Thank you, it's being quite difficult.
@driagonv hey thank you for your feedback, i really appreciated it. I'm glad you liked the game. About ratings, i try my best to play other people games since my laptop was stolen yesterday. It's being hard.
Very solid entry! I loved playing it very much. The graphics and music were very good and the animation of the plants was quite funny :D The harvesting of leaves was not clear for me though and I was a bit confused at the beginning but I got it after restarting a few times.
I recommend giving the house a bigger role, in its current state it is nearly useless. I found that staying outside the house helped me to protect the plants and it was easy to evade the boss.
Well done :)
@furiouswitch I'm glad that you liked the game. Thank you for the feedback, I agree with you that the leaves system is not clear, I want to give better feedback for the player, also we wanted to give a better role to the house but we abandoned the idea because we ran out of time.
The link to download the game does not work for me :(
@anastasiats i added another one. Please try again.
I prefer the games where you can be fast and run everywhere, but the fact you're limited by the time and the care you need to have on your plants.
Great job and good luck for retrieving your computer :/
Lovely game, y'all! :) One small thing I have to say is that the font used was a bit hard to read, but I guess that's the style of the game (pixelated)? :) Otherways, I really enjoyed it, especially the graphics and the music .
@number6406 Thanks for the feedback, i appreciated it. About the computer, i already gave up on it, the police won't do anything. =/
@luca1152 thank you i hope you enjoyed the game, yeah the font is part of the graphic style, thanks for noticing it. :heart:
Really fun game! Graphics and audio are awesome as well as the overall mood of the game!
Keep up the good work! :sunflower:
@stefan-jovanovic thanks for the feedback, i hope you had a great time playing it.
cool art guys! funny and a bit challenging at start
@geck0 thanks i hope you enjoyed it.
I really like the option menu right off the cat character.
Pretty good entry, I love the GBC feel to the graphics and controls. I never felt like running out of space was an issue, it was more a practical issue of being able to keep your plants watered before they died, so it was more a game of not enough time than running out of space. Still, good job!
I accidentally clicked through the first part of the instructions when I first played and was unable to go back, so didn't do very well on my first play-through. But otherwise it was a really cute and fun game; the art and small walking sound effects are neat!
@ticklemecolor @sheldonzs @ana Thanks for the feedback.
@sheldonzs About the space, the theme was used based on the tiles with plants, that are now walkable, so when as you progress in the game, less tiles you have to walk and also manage to escape from the monster.
@ana About the tutorial, the intention was to represent the games from the GameBoy era, without "previous button" on story lines.
This was really cool. Overall really enjoyed it. The music was funky and the aesthetics were spot on!
@kalcoslinder thank you, i hope you had a good time playing it!
I wanted to love this game based on the premise (farming) and the graphics (amazing :two_hearts: )... but it was just too difficult and too fast. The days whiz by and the plants die quickly, and then there's no way to recover. Some things I would change: make time go by slower; maybe give a timer to show how much time is left in each day; have the seed salesman give away a few basic seeds for free (so that if you screw up with your first few seeds you have another chance to recover).
Doomed: doom.png
@deathray Thanks for the feedback.
About the considerations, as you can see in the tutorial on this page, you can recover the dead soil by using leaves(5) on it.
Also you everytime you water your plants, they recover full health and gives you leaves based on their level.
You have to water you plants everyday, the next day without watering they dry and the next day it dies.
At the top-right corner of the Screen, it's a count down for the and of the day.
Every day lasts 15 seconds, and 2 seconds between every day. Each plant has different health points, the 2 starting stages die in 1 hit, but the mature ones need at least 3 hits to die.
I hope you play again considering this post. :heart:
Pretty simple and fun. Not sure how to win, though. Is it endless?
@jamison thank you, yes the game is endless.
loved the graphics, excellent gameboy feel to the whole thing. I agree with an earlier comment someone made that the salesman should give away some free seeds; on my first go I didn't know what I was doing and everything died on day 3. I ended up not being able to plant anything else and just running around avoiding the bird until I decided to let him get me.
@amkingtrp thanks for the feedback, i'll consider adding free seed if player has none. :heart:
Nice game, and thank you for watching the stream :)
At first, I thought the instructions were telling me to stay in the house on day 3, but that ended up with dead plants, and then the bird came and shat on me.
I wish the directions would have encouraged me to walk around more so I would have known to distract the bird instead of hiding. In this game, it's more important to protect the plants than to hide.
I liked the predictable pattern. Day 1 walk around, Day 2 Dog trader visits, Day 3 Bird attacks. I wish the dog always gave you one free seed. Once the bird killed my seeds, I couldn't get leaves so that I couldn't buy more seeds and the game changed to just me running around on the third day and waiting for Day 1 and Day 2 to end.
Upon my second playthrough, I tried to be more strategic about using the seeds, but I only had enough leaves to buy one more seed each time the dog appeared. I was frequently left with 3 extra leaves, which were worthless.
I also made the mistake of pressing z instead of x to water a plant, and it destroyed it. I wish it would have put the seed back in my inventory instead. It was so painful to accidentally lose a plant like that because then I had no chance of purchasing more seeds from the dog.
At the rate I was going I am not even sure if it is possible to buy the more expensive plants. Maybe I made too many mistakes by letting one of my plants die early in the game, but it didn't feel good to have no hope of improving my situation. I was staunching the floodgates, keeping the status quo, hoping I don't slip up and make a tiny mistake that will cost me my life.
