The premise is a really cool interpretation of the theme here, I think - I like the idea of the shadowy people who are demanding that you harvest lives for them.
The actual gameplay/implementation seems a bit rough, however.
@jasond Thanks for the review!
Took a minute to get into the flow, but I ended up having some great fun with it. Love that you put in a leader board feature, as that drove me keep going to be on top.. competition in games; good stuff!
@redhermit Thanks!
I got really sucked in the game, it was really fun to play. The idea to suck lifes out of people is at firs a little questioning but you deliverd it really humerous. The music is great an fits perfect. The only thing I missed is that I didn't got any more plants after the first round, only bandits, so I needed to run around and find some, and got killed by the timer because there were not enough lifes to harvest.
haha, it was fun to play. I like the tutorial, it really helped a lot
@rhiannon Thanks for playing it! Im fixing a game breaking but now as you mentioned it.
@vjmunhoz @rhiannon Thanks for playing it! I've just fixed a game breaking bug. Maybe that could help to get a bigger score on the learder board! 😃
thought it was interesting , i wasn't very good at the game sadly.
Nice... Took me a minute to relise I had to hold left click down to get the hoover to work, initially I was jusing the right click as left didn't seem to do anything. I got into it though. The only issue is that sometimes it seems plants and bandits aren't being generated and the level is kinda empty.
@garys We tried to add some props to make it feel a bit better but we didn't really have time. The plants can usually grow with a 50% chance and they have 50% chance to grow 2 times between days. The bandits spawn with more chance as you survive for more days.
@darkmax14 Anyway thanks for playing it!
Love the bc-music and overall core-gameplay, got hooked within the first couple of minuted :D Great job!
I'm not talking about during general play... I died and played the game several times, and on occaion there would be no plant pots at all (at least, none that I could find) and very few bandits. I think it's a bug... after I die, the next playthrough has plants & bandits again.
@garys Thanks for reporting the bug. Im gonna look into it.
@kultisti Thanks for playing it!
@garys The bug is fixed
Cool cool cool. ;)
I like the leaderboard feature :) But took a while to come into the game and to know whats actually is going on ^^
@nico-fallosch Thanks for playing!
Wasn't really sure if I was playing it right but I had fun anyway! I like the graphic style of the main character, but the rest of the art didnt' seem to match up.
@nayaki-anandan This was the first jam of the artist and he is not use to making art like this. But thanks for playing anyway and for the honest review.
I like the concept and i enjoyed playing for the first time but there is nothing new and after a couple of play it is boring. nice entry but i am not convinced may something more challenging could be added or even the frequency of the monsters could have been increased.
@nexusviper The enemies spawn more and more and they have more health. And you have to collect more. But yeah after 1-2 times it gets boring. Thanks for the review!
So much S U C C, awesome job, keep up the good work!
6 Days for me. This is pretty fun, leader board makes me want to play it more.
@qst0 Nice! Finally someone who tried to survive 😄
That was pretty far out man!!! Needs screen shake though ;) :P
Hand-Draw graphics were really cool. The sound effects were excellent and it was a nice take on the theme. Wonderful entry.
@lurkinmcclerkin Thanks a lot!

I liked the graphics and audio, they work pretty well. Nice take on the theme
@frank-gevaerts Thanks a lot for playing!
Nice. Made it to day 8. A lot of the designs are really cool. The player character and the bandits have really unique and characteristic shapes. I'd encourage you to be even more brave when it comes the design of the other objects as well. Are they hand drawn?
The game system is quite simple and creative as well. The dash is a cool idea as it is a nice multi purpose mechanic (movement and attack).
Ideas for cleaning up the UI: Get rid of the day counter and show the day at the beginning of the level in the center for a second or two. Show souls and required souls in the form of a progress bar. Turn the timer into a little clock that runs out (or at least a clock icon instead of text next to the number). Would raise the tension if it's highlighted when you're about to run out of time.
A little more feedback for when you gain or lose souls would be great. At first I didn't really understand that I lose souls when I touch bandits.
Overall a very creative and enjoyable game. Good job you two.
@jonas-tyroller Thanks for playing! And the spirtes were all hand drawn.
Cool game, interesting concept.
A bit more content would have been nice, but in generall a very nice Game. Everything worked really good and the Style was pretty cool. Especially the sounds of your vaccum cleaner XD
Well Done
@deathstorm Sorry for the late response. Thanks for playing and I'm glad you liked the vaccum sounds! 😄
Hey Préda! Here's my pathetic attempt at playing your game. Really liked that the plants have different stages and that harvesting them is not instantaneous. Here's a video:
