Haha! Loved this game so much. Great job :)

I really like that you used shouting and digging instead of violence for 'defeating' enemies! It also has a nice atmosphere with the bird sounds in the background.

sp3sheep 2019-10-07 19:11

Love the art style! The gameplay feels smooth and well executed, nice work!

cpokered 2019-10-07 20:49

Fun Game but I could not dig holes.

Ok, what I have just played? :D Very interesting, but it could be better if you have added text on the middle of the screen. My harvest 10 tomatoes, it was not easy dude! :)

danielhamngren 2019-10-07 21:08

@cpokered did you buy the shovel for 30 tomatoes first? It is in the right part of the 'shop'. Then you dig holes with the C-key.

The shovel buying process could be clearer.

There is also the possibility that you found a bug :)

cpokered 2019-10-07 21:10

Ohhh did not realize you need to buy lol.

I like it, but at first, I did'nt understood that buying things is automatic. Love shouting at big tomato guys.

DON'T TOUCH MY TOMATOES

This is a really good game ! Congrats

transkuja 2019-10-08 11:51

Nice game, only the X button to scare just under the S is not really handy to play ^^' Good job !

alphaden 2019-10-08 16:43

Pixel art work looks great. I personally like the peoples.

tc5550 2019-10-08 18:29

The game was really ease to get the hang of and very fun to play.

nachtwitch 2019-10-08 18:31

Really cool game you made, like the simple theme and tone as well as the pixel art work, absolutely great

black-flag 2019-10-08 18:33

I really like this enrty, the farmin mechanics worked really nicely, and then you added the enemies coming into the farm which was a really good idea as you no longer just had to wait for plants to grow there was something there to occupy the player when they were waiting for the tomatoes to gow! The graphics were also really nice for a farming game like such, good job- had a really fun experience!You could maybe have add ed a few types of plants (even though I understand this is a jam and the game is about tomatoes XD)

misterkeefe 2019-10-08 18:33

The pixel artwork of the plants unfolding and the tomatoes growing was really nice. I also thought the soundtrack of nothing but birdsong was really nice and peaceful, until the nefarious forces of big tomato turned up.

The yelling sound for driving people away could sound a bit weird when it was repeated a lot (for example, when I was wildly spamming X).

Overall a really fun game! Good concept executed very well :thumbsup:

Fun and challenging! Congrats!

seabird 2019-10-08 18:43

Haha, cool stuff. I was aggravated by all the thief's and people that wanted to destroy my farm. ​ Simple fun game. Check out our game: Murder on peacock street, comment and let us know what you think. Visit our Instagram​ for weekly content about game dev, digital art, sound fx and more.​​​

Very cool and intense game :sweat_smile:. The art is amazing, the text is funny, and the shout sound is amazing! Good job!

Fun little game that suddenly turned into utter chaos and I loved it! Graphics were consistant thoughout which is always a nice touch, audio was a little off as it sounded more like a dog barking then a man shouting. Could'nt find the shovel when the diggers started to arrive, but movement was smooth. Also noticed the secret sabotage of the lady selling the seeds, she is also driving the tractors, what a tomato traitor!

jakob-willforss 2019-10-09 17:42

Thanks for all the nice comments, and constructive feedbacks!

@humphreysmedia Happy you noticed that the shop owners also are in Big Tomato :)

ranner198 2019-10-12 01:12

Neat game fun and challenging

space-nomad 2019-10-12 13:51

the game was tons of fun, but a bit way too challenging just way too many enemies spawning

rhymar 2019-10-16 22:17

nice game, but hard to play on german keyboard where Y is near X not Z please use some neutral keys next time^^

jonno 2019-10-19 21:04

A great little game that I hope you develop further post-jam. Reminds me of a game for the ZX Spectrum called 'Pedro', although this is much more fun.

nitroglycerine 2019-10-23 14:22

Hahahah! A very fun game!

shalrath 2019-10-23 16:53

Big Tomato Wins Again! Very dynamic game :)

ryjcio 2019-10-24 23:46

What a crazy concept... But it works! Excelent game, dude!
