It's not terrible, you just haven't made it good yet
I like the design for the character!
I really like the walking animation you did. I'm a sucker for farming games, so although bugs kept me from continuing, I was still ready for some more! Nice concept!
Lovely little game, I see what you mean with buggy; mainly the camera/map were a tad glitchy. But the movement and controls were great and very responsive. I found myself managing 4 trees and running to get more water fairly quickly. Great little enjoyable game. Good job!
The game is ok, but I feel like it lacks a lose condition, or something that waters the plants for you while you try to get to other plants... I know, it was probably hard to implement in the short time a Compo game allows, so this is overall a nice game, and I really liked the art, I can see you spent quite some time on it. Good job!
Looks very glitchy and I couldnt quite figure out how to play it, but the character and his animation are really good! :D
Thanks for the feedback guys!
I spent way too much on art instead of gameplay. You don't even want to know how much code that isn't used is in the game. Oh well, something for next time.
Plant and grow 4 or 5 plant/tree and then each time a want to pick up a seed I have the message inventory full the seed disappear but my inventory is empty and I couldn't plant any more thing then :/
@nakami Thanks for the specific bug report! I'll try to fix it in the coming days.
I love the little guy's walking animation, and watching all the trees grow :)
Well, uh, I see what you're trying to do, at least! WIth a bit of bug-fixing and design changes, one would probably be able to grow quite a nice garden~ For now, though, it's a tad wonky to play through, to say the least. Still, good job!
Not bad! I think you should've made the bucket completely fill with water when you click the first time
It's surprisingly difficult and fun to juggle several plants at once. Sadly, I wasn't able to make it far because of the same bug that Nakami mentioned
There's a lot of really neat mechanics going on in this game. It would really benefit from some basic in-game instructions. Took me a bit to realize that I had to hit '3' first before trying to use/fill up the watering can. It was really fun though once I figured out what I was doing.
There was just the 4 plant types right? The graphics are a bit basic, but I liked the various growing plant sprites. On a separate note, it did seem the plants didn't plant quite where the target cursor was at. Would also suggest adding a way to remove wilted plants.
It does obviously need some more work to feel like a full game, but for a compo it has a lot going on. Would be great to see this further developed!
Nice gardening game. It reminded me of Viva Pinata with the watering of seeds and plants. I liked the sprite animations.
The game looks good. I like the art you made for everything.
This is a really cute game! Would be nice if the selection area was a bit more consistent, but otherwise great job!
