If you download it, it might look like a virus. I’m really sorry, in that case, please try it out online. If you really want to download it, there is no risk.

A really fun little game. I love the sound-effects and I wish you would have made the music in a similar way. The gameplay is fun but it could me more challenging. All in all a sloid entry!

2019-04-29 11:26

Well made game, fun concept, good idea, challenging enough, actual good sound effect. I'd rate this 7/10 in terms of indie game.

joe-the-really-old 2019-04-29 21:19

Great sound effects... don't want to know how you made them though... :~)

monkeydvrus 2019-04-30 11:01

Great little game! It's funny

pixscope 2019-04-30 21:13

@monkeydvrus Thanks!

pixscope 2019-04-30 21:14

@joe-the-really-old Yeah, I know they sound funny ! Thanks !

pixscope 2019-04-30 21:15

@hellohumans Thank you, I never tought to get such a great rate !

fm-studio 2019-04-30 21:15

Sound effects gives the right mood, graphics is nice and being a carrot is so fun! Nice job.

pixscope 2019-04-30 21:16

@andidebob Thank you ! Yeah, the music doesn't fit, but it was suppose to be funny that the game didn't fit with the music.

pixscope 2019-04-30 21:18

@fm-studio Thank you ! As a kid, I always wanted to create a game with a carrot as the protagonist.

cnnmon 2019-05-01 20:19

fun game! love the little touches like the carrot bouncing -

pixscope 2019-05-01 20:23

@cnnmon Thank you !

fatpenguin 2019-05-01 20:25

Sweet little game, cute carrot, looked like an undertale character to me :D I gotta say I was not compleeetely sure about the harvest life thing I just keep shooting enemies for 1 minute until I was dead, but it was decent and challenging, also good balance of enemies and the controls feel natural :) Well done!

pixscope 2019-05-01 20:27

@fatpenguin Thank you (btw I'm a huge fan of undertale) !

tiffi 2019-05-01 20:35

Haha. That was much more fun than I thought it would be at first glance. It's a little small, but otherwise super cool. Loved how the carrot also shoots carrots :D

philipprapp95 2019-05-01 20:35

Pretty funny game, though i'm not really good at it cause its a bit difficult. Great use of the theme. The sound effects are awesome. very cool!

dflinders 2019-05-01 20:35

great game. nice one!

pixscope 2019-05-01 20:36

@tiffi Thank you !

pixscope 2019-05-01 20:36

@dflinders Thank you !

fashionbatman 2019-05-01 20:44

Great job! I really like the sound effects you used.

cocapasteque 2019-05-01 20:47

Really fun, the sounds effects are perfect ! :D

stefan-laimer 2019-05-01 20:52

Nice little game. A bit hard but other than that, really entertaining.

twan-mul 2019-05-01 20:53

fun sfx and pretty fun upgrade system. A bit difficult to get out of the low life situation where you dont have enough life to buy new carrots.

msalison 2019-05-01 21:19

Nice game ! Graphics and sounds fit well together and the gameplay is challenging :)

craftlord 2019-05-01 21:27

Great job on creating this fun little game!

raphael-maia 2019-05-01 21:27

Nice game in overall, i ran into a few bugs, but thats totally understandable

lakrits 2019-05-01 21:28

The shoot+hit audio kind of creates a music beat.

Happy to see a flash game! Such an amazing format for the web.

denzil-gomes 2019-05-01 21:29

The sound effects had me cracking up. Good job

kalashnikov 2019-05-01 21:30

I love it!

balance686 2019-05-01 21:33

I enjoyed this game! Simple concept that ties into the theme and was executed well. Nice colorful graphics (the player is hilarious haha looks like he's living his best life) and the sound effects were funny as well. It's definitely tough but I don't think that's a bad thing. Good job!

kalashnikov 2019-05-01 21:35

No joking, one of the best compo games so far. Simple and fun

mabry 2019-05-01 21:37

Took a few plays to figure out, especially with the hard to read text. Fun game once we figured it out though!

rheel 2019-05-01 21:41

Nice game, I especially liked to sound effects, they really tied the game together.

nebrazif 2019-05-01 21:44

Funny game !

jm-studio 2019-05-01 22:37

Congrats ! I really had fun playing to your game :) Sounds were very good, difficulty was good (i had some trouble my first games) Well done !

ithildin 2019-05-01 22:58

Cool entry!

The game mechanic is simple, works well and fits the theme quite clearly. I really felt compelled to defend my seeds, but difficulty is a bit punishing at the moment (green bugs essentially ruin all my crops :sob:)

Graphics could use some work to make the game screen a bit more readable, especially near the buttons.

I also found a weird bug that broke keyboard controls if I right clicked on the game. Not even restarting worked, I had to reload the page.

Despite these two things you've got quite a solid entry, congrats!

pixscope 2019-05-01 23:04

@ithildin Thank you for the comment. There is a bug with the flash version. The screen is smaller and the keyboard is glitching. For a better experience you could try to download the game. Thanks again for the support !

minibobbo 2019-05-02 00:40

Simple but works well. I didn't understand how to play based on the description, but after I watched the trailer I took another shot at it and got the gameplay loop down. The highlight for me was the music and the carrot bouncing to the beat.

There are a couple things that you could do to polish it up. The text is very hard to read against the busy grass background, so even doing something simple like giving it a black outline would go far. Also, there was more than once that I was shooting at a bug and accidentally purchased a weapon upgrade that killed me. The first time I felt like I should have known better, but the second time it happened it was frustrating.

Maybe take away the need for the player to press or hold the button to shoot? You could easily have the carrot autofire at the cursor constantly and then the player would click only when they mean to purchase something.

Also, the flash screen is a little small. The play area itself is fine, but if you scaled it up to twice the size it would work well.

brinkhousegames 2019-05-02 01:46

Great job, simple but effective. The shooting and movement mechanics both felt really good. I appreciated the simple nature. Good work!

jk5000 2019-05-02 06:59

A bit difficult, but also pretty fun. Well done.

sundancekid 2019-05-02 07:26

This was really fun, I liked the music and the thumping sound effects. The upgraded shooting was satisfying to use. The dark text was a bit hard to read. Nice game :)

mantou 2019-05-02 11:57

It's simple but addictive. I can't stop playing. Please help me.

cheesepencil 2019-05-02 14:21

I love being a carrot

hugzfnr 2019-05-02 14:21

had fun playing it ! but I stumbled into what seems to be a glitch with my carrot running forever upwards, couldn't win :(

mrstari 2019-05-02 16:06

Funny game. sweet animation. play 30 mins and wouldnt stop it. :laughing: :hearts:

avoca-do 2019-05-02 17:53

ccfdc650c3c53717ff831b132f0b5870.png dumn this is frustraiting to get to 100 i was about to quit at 50 but saw u said 100 you win... haha nice game really fun, but its gets to long to get to 100

jakobthequizguy 2019-05-02 18:47

Pretty alright game, it's fun but gets repetitive quickly. If it was a bit more varied I think it'd be much more addictive, I already think the weapon upgrade feels really sweet, it's what kept me playing.

jutjuan 2019-05-02 20:10

Interesting concept! Really enjoyable, the graphics do the job for a game jam and the music fits very well. I found the HUD a litte bit messy in my opinion but nice job overall :)

mika-la-grand 2019-05-02 22:16

After a certain amount of time has passed a green bug flows from the top of the screen and insta kills me eventhough he doesn't hit me. The sound is nice and the concept of sacrifing health for more health in the future is certainly interesting.

carlos-salazar 2019-05-03 00:11

Fun to play, and also really challenging, even more challenging when playing with the mousepad

luis-j-benitez 2019-05-03 07:29

Nice Game! I have to say the got me playing for a while but im so bad at aiming lol! Good Job!

jamesolivermusic 2019-05-03 08:41

I think there needs to be a little more space to move around. Also, the objective of the game was not immediately clear. So perhaps include a tutorial or even a help screen so that players can jump right in. I felt that the music didn't fit very well either.. Given that you play as a carrot fighting off armies of bugs I would expect something significantly more upbeat and frantic to reflect the gameplay. Some of the SFX sound great, the only one that was a little grating was when hit by the enemy. It's far too overpowering.

I love the carrot character! And how he's trying to bounce to the music. Whoever made the music should give you the tempo so he can line up exactly :) But generally the character and enemies are very cute. Nice work :)

pete-h 2019-05-03 11:53

Lovely little game, nice loop of balancing your hearts / seeds.

Thanks!

myrmyxo 2019-05-03 12:36

Very good ! The carrot is so funny with its mouth. The concept is good and the theme is very well used I love all the designs, especially the flies, and the carrot, well, all actually ! The music fits the theme very well and the sounds too. The level of difficulty is absolutely perfect : at first is simple, but near the is I was litteraly jumping full of adrenaline and I finally managed to beat it, the waves of yellow flies are very fast a you need to shoot at the right place at the right moment to not get your carrots eaten, the swarm of blue flies are also very hard to shoot at, you need to be precise but fast to kill them all. also, when all your carrots are eaten, all is not lost, which is very good and absolutely not frustrating. The little bonus life obtained from killing the green fly is very welcome and puts the level of difficulty at a perfection level, as I stated before. This is one the best game I've seen in the jam so far, congratulations !

Edit : I just saw that it was a compo, this is impressing, wow !

pusheeneiro 2019-05-03 15:03

Good simple mechanics that draws me in. :carrot:

gward2489 2019-05-03 15:48

Nice, fun and plays smooth, I love the carrot character sprite

ianlux 2019-05-03 17:55

Very fun game! Loved the seeding/planting seeds mechanics, quite innovative!

bradur 2019-05-04 05:42

The sound effects were well done :). I managed to beat the game.

christina-antoinette-neofotistou 2019-05-04 16:13

So fun! Love the carrot and the sfx! You also really stuck to the theme, that's amazing. And very impressive for a compo game!!! Well done :)

bbaf 2019-05-05 00:48

Funny game with awesome music :wink:

avsc 2019-05-05 02:45

Funny game. And hard! Specially at the beginning, when your health is low and any hit of the yellow bug kills you. Unlocking harder enemies as your health increases would make the difficulty greater on later stages.

gideon 2019-05-05 14:55

Amazing graphics!! I love the artstyle and the feeling of the game. Felt really polished! The squish sounds were quite funny :D Also... I think this is the ONLY flash entry I saw so far. Just installing flash for it brought back a lot of nice memories. Thanks!

petrocket 2019-05-06 00:15

Very fun and the audio is entertaining. Well done!

edevjogos 2019-05-06 20:21

Fun game, i've enjoyed it.

muchoswaffles 2019-05-08 03:25

Very fun game! The graphics are great and the gameplay is very engaging. Well Done!

sylvie 2019-05-10 18:37

This is fun and cute! I found it a little too difficult though because you lose health very quickly and enemies destroy your seeds very easily.

oivin-f 2019-05-11 12:24

Simple, pretty fun game. I didn't understand that I needed to press the buy seeds button at first and I kept killing myself by pressing the upgrade weapon. That being said, after I pressed the correct button it was pretty straight forward.

avi 2019-05-13 10:57

Awesome game! Man I really had to grind to get 💯 but it was so much fun getting to that point! Really enjoyed the concept!

jharler 2019-05-14 16:35

I like the cute graphics and the thematic elements. Life giving crops giving their life to protect their crops. :)

I too killed myself several times before realizing what I needed to do. The instructions were clear, but I imagine most people won't read a paragraph of text. Maybe try to fit a mini tutorial in the gameplay and not allowing the player to kill themselves immediately could improve the intuitiveness. Overall though, great entry and nice work!

notekri 2019-05-15 17:27

I really like the sound effects they, I also like the graphics, the gameplay was fun and enjoyable, all in all a good game. Well done!

pequenodev 2019-05-17 14:03

It becomes funny and fluid. Maybe the concept theme is a little bit messy for me, and sprite animation could be polished in order to support movement and aiming. I enjoyed it, great job dude!

2019-05-18 18:04

Hi!

Very good game!I like carrots and flies! Funny! Cool! Amazing!

peterfonts 2019-05-20 11:50

Great game! Simply but clever! I think it needs more polish and gamefeel, also the difficulty at the beginning is hard sometimes... the messages that appear in the middle of the screen I think is more intuitive and more readible if you can put on top right area. Overall is a great game, very challenging, with important choices and addictive! Congrats! :clap:
