this is cool! if i have one nitpick, it's that i wish the instructional prompts would just appear and then fade out in a modal at the top of the screen or something instead of requiring me to mouseover a tooltip when all the other game controls are keyboard-based. if i leave my cursor hovering over the tooltip for the whole game it more or less does what i want.

So sweet graphics! It was hard for me to understand what to do but graphics are 10/10

simxple 2019-10-06 21:50

Nice Game, love the artstyle, a few more instructions would help. :)

fictions 2019-10-06 22:08

The info on the left was realy a huge feature for me and the game is so incredible cute. I love it <3

stefanie-leitch 2019-10-06 22:23

Interesting little game! Tried a few times and the furthest I got was when trophies started spawning. Not sure how much more there was to get to, but it was hard! Lots of fun!

jedineeson 2019-10-06 22:23

This a beautiful artistic game! Hard to understand but it look great and it fell good! GG

kanonix 2019-10-06 22:31

This is so cool I loved it ! I swear I was jumping around for about 2 minutes just to hear that cute little sound, than I discovered the one when changing colors and oh my god, I started doing the same noises as the character ahaha

cooz 2019-10-06 22:34

Really great game.. gameplay is intuitive, graphism are minimalists but beautiful.. i love it! (Ahah i love beatbox sounds too) . However i'd like to "slip" less on the ground in order to be more precise during my move. I think you build a incredible sandbox for a great future videogame! Keep working on it please ! :water_polo:

bobotast 2019-10-06 22:46

Very cool game! Clever mechanics! Pretty easy to pick up on, but fairly challenging to play.

jcmonkey 2019-10-06 23:11

had some bugs playing the web version, like when i rammed my egg against the wall while the screen scrolled out the player got stuck on the wall. then the second bug was when i was a chicklet and i could jump, i jumped into the wall and it got stuck.

kazatan 2019-10-06 23:17

Really nice - very much with the theme. Love the little intro bit :thumbsup:

xacur 2019-10-07 00:19

Very hard to understand at first, when you get the basic mechanics it becomes easy. Nice game.

musicblox 2019-10-07 00:26

Ooh, a bullet hell. I loved the way you naturally made the game progress. Farm food but it might make the game harder, and if you make the game harder you progress. The question mark helped a lot, otherwise the game would have been really hard to pick up.

maximbegunov 2019-10-07 00:40

Game becomes harder very smoothly. I had fun playing it and it's a great use of a theme!

pixelmonkey 2019-10-07 01:01

Lots of fun! Things get hectic pretty quick, but it works to the game's benefit, there's always something you need to pay attention to.

bocodillo 2019-10-07 01:34

Took a little time to get used but this is a really fun game. Looks really nice too! I love the way the game slowly escalates in a really dynamic fashion.

100th-coin 2019-10-07 02:10

Oh man this is adorable! Very nice work, and a great use of the theme.

danny88881 2019-10-07 02:18

I love the simplistic graphics! It took awhile for me to realize that the same colored weeds could kill each other. I really liked the gameplay and how the game got harder the longer you went. I thought the begining was brilliant, with the egg and the shells, though on my first try I jumped on the shells and fertilized ground destroying it, and wondered why nothing was growing for a good 5 minutes.

6smith 2019-10-07 03:28

Really interesting concept! Pretty fun, difficult though.

berkin 2019-10-07 03:30

Tooltip and tutorial system is so good, graphics looks great and it's challenging, i loved it !

jeremy-ryan 2019-10-07 03:33

Art style is neat, fun interaction with elements that all come from the original eggshell. Voice acting is top notch.

gold5games 2019-10-07 05:44

Really fun concept. It takes a second, but the mystery kept me interested. Fun take on the theme too.

neverix 2019-10-07 06:15

Great concept, took me almost an hour of playing and looking at the source code to win!

justinooncx 2019-10-07 07:46

That was surprisingly simple, and yet addictive! My favourite sort of game! I found myself settling down on a strategy, segregating my crops by color and destroying crops if it got more that 9 or so fruits at a time. Even so, trying to get one of each color, and with the weeds only able to kill their own kind, meant that there was at least one bugger shooting at me and making things hellish. Every time I think I'm doing well, I corner myself in bullets and die. I'm most impressed that you designed the jump button to do so many things... Really streamlines the game and makes it less confusing! All in all, well done!

pedromgdo 2019-10-07 12:32

Hard to figure out at first but very very fun. Graphics are great, and the tooltips were a great idea!

bungalow 2019-10-07 13:17

I loved this game. I usually don't enjoy puzzle games, but the minimalist art style, simple sounds, tight controls and no sense of what you're doing whatsoever tie into a great game! Awesome job!

nikita-demidov 2019-10-07 14:38

funny game! I love how you have to eat something which grew out of your poo!

retrobarbare 2019-10-07 16:41

Pretty funny game , love that you literrality start with nothing great game

anne-ogborn 2019-10-07 18:08

Absolutely love the graphics.

odeyalko 2019-10-07 18:12

Cool Game!

evannex 2019-10-07 18:56

For such a simple concept it comes across perfectly, really a job well done! I passed quite a bit of time with this :smile:

the-osk 2019-10-07 19:41

Graphics are just awesome. I was having a blast until I was killed by one of my own creations and rage-quit. Great job!

erebus 2019-10-08 00:49

Really cool game! I liked the art and mechanic. Really thought the tooltips and general learning/teaching in the game was fantastic. Thanks for bringing it by the stream!

plazmaz 2019-10-08 01:23

Really nice! Unique mechanics, and it's awesome to see rust games in the browser! super cool.

porocyonak 2019-10-08 04:36

nice! really tough in the beginning, would be nice to have some sort of continuous resource or persistent data to make restarting less harsh

brokenmirrormedia 2019-10-08 05:50

Very neat idea, and I love the minimalist style and sound effects. Kinda reminds me of Jackbox... The movement felt a biiiit slippy, especially moving and jumping at the same time, but the emergent gameplay was phenomenal!

monish-vyas 2019-10-08 13:09

Loved playing the game. Quite amazing adaption of the theme, literally started with nothing. Awesome

j0ye 2019-10-08 13:32

Game got me like

398.jpg

Still pretty rad tho. Simple but effective. Great game loop. Well done

tricky-fat-cat 2019-10-08 13:42

This game has a superb core idea and realisation, but they are deep enough to entertain me. Nice work!

sillyman987 2019-10-08 14:04

Nice!

joe-williamson 2019-10-08 14:16

Tricky but fun game! Classic LD sound effects. xD

papaver 2019-10-08 14:19

I really liked your game! Graphics are very clean. :) I got 3 throphees in the end, but I am not entirely sure how I got them. ;) Addictive!

- Edit: I got back to this game, and now I see much clearer what the underlying rules are. Very neat! Still didn't beat the game though... ;)

wansou 2019-10-08 16:06

Its kind of confusing at first, but its not bad keep up the good work!

anstabo 2019-10-08 21:20

Thanks for making the tooltip!

el-fideo-rubio 2019-10-08 21:25

Awesome game I just need a house for my little guy when I end to relax :)

unicorn-studios 2019-10-09 01:44

Awesome game, super addicting and fun!

youngblade 2019-10-09 02:35

A very interesting take on the theme. I like the little tooltips on everything - it's a fun way to explain things to the user. The gameplay is nice. Decently challenging - it'll probably take me a few playthroughs to win. Thanks for sharing it with us on stream last night!

ossi 2019-10-09 07:22

I like your take on the theme! Having to micromanage the food you eat and where you place the fertilized soil gave it a lot more depth than I was expecting! The help bubble at the bottom left was greatly appreciated too :P Good job!

fernando-labarta 2019-10-09 17:09

Perfect theme aproach

ithildin 2019-10-09 19:05

This felt super original. Once you grasp the mechanics (I have to thank the hint button at the beginning or I probably wouldn't have figured what to do :expressionless:) it also becomes really engaging.

Graphics and sound are clean, even cute, and in general it all feels quite polished. Congrats!

Now let's get a few more trophies...

benpeterson 2019-10-10 00:51

This was really great, both the way you introduced the theme and the amount of thinking i had to do to figure out the game were perfect. Really satisfying to just try stuff out and have it work like i expected. it's tough to make stuff intuitive like that

ausstein 2019-10-10 01:14

Nice game keeping track of your colors is key :D

yyam 2019-10-10 09:36

This is a cute game! It really feels like you start from nothing. It took a bit of time to figure out what to do, but once I got it, it was quite fun :) and quite difficult! Nice that you wrote it in Rust too!

nocity 2019-10-10 10:17

Lovely and cute. Nice use of the theme. Good learning curve although I think that there is a bit too much going on once you have a few colors. Good job! :smiley:

cirno 2019-10-10 12:13

At the very first glance I thought the game would be a simple collecting game with a cute Kirby-like character. Indeed the character is always cute even when hit by a bullet. What is really impressive is the fruits with color. Bullets cannot hit the angry plant with different color, which naturally adds game difficulty when the progress goes on. The color can even be combined to new colors. This game is really filled with great idea and neat implementation. It's really great work!

p-r 2019-10-10 12:50

Cute

redrising 2019-10-10 12:55

Very clever use of the theme.Awesome game!

bilalch213 2019-10-10 13:53

Very engaging game! The concept is executed so nicely. Graphics are really clean and the gameplay is fun. I really like 'an egg hitting the wall and breaking its shell'. Maybe, add a dark theme because I don't like very bright backgrounds (it is just my preference).

celdur 2019-10-10 16:45

This is a spicy game. I like the nuance of having to place both your health and the enemies around the board without knowing which one you get.

euler-moises 2019-10-10 17:21

There is a great game. Sometimes is a little hard. The simplicity is a great point.

Congratulations!!!

t-bo 2019-10-10 17:34

The game is amazing ! I love the sound effects, the character is cute, the game really fit the theme and the tips on the side are very useful ! Beautiful work ! Congratulations ! :clap:

unept 2019-10-10 19:50

This was so good. Great art style, I love the minimalism, but it was all very clear. Also the "?" hints helped a ton, otherwise the game would have been frustrating. Nicely done!

arkinrev 2019-10-11 02:18

Fantastic work. I liked that the progress made things more difficult, that you gradually learn how to combine things, and it was fun to find the combinations. Great work!

jusw85 2019-10-11 05:46

Minimalist and amazing. Doesn't need alot of explicit instructions, although figuring out how to kill weeds was tricky. Would've loved arrow key movement in addition to WSAD though.

bryvox 2019-10-11 07:36

This game was a lot of fun! It was a great blend of simplicity and difficulty. It was a great use of the theme and the instruction prompts were well done too. Great work! :clap:

iamberf 2019-10-11 16:23

That's amazing! I have played this game many times and I really like it! ! ! Really fit this theme!Great job! !

maskinmask 2019-10-11 16:30

so coool~from nothing to poo everything!

konomizure 2019-10-11 17:56

Really nice game, i really liked it, i just got a little disappointed when i discovered that using the mouse to see the names didn't have any other purpose than just see names... I thought that i would need it to identify what is the weakness of each angry weed or something like that, but nop, i didn't use it for anything. Even so, the game is awesome in all aspects of it

shaurya-juneja 2019-10-12 09:33

Nice game, with amazing graphics! Keep up on it! The only thing I would like to mention is that hovering over the mouse didn't have any purpose, than just seeing the names. I think you should add more things to it and the game can really be expanded upon! Nice graphics again, from nothing to everything! This game has potential and the devs should work on making it into a full fledged game!

cyrolis 2019-10-12 11:18

A really nice game ! and you made this alone in 48h, well dooone !

danilo-freire 2019-10-12 21:01

Great entrance, love the beginning of the game!

ehauckdo 2019-10-13 02:55

Very smart and simple game, following the theme very appropriately. The instructions on the left were a great addition.

hcursino 2019-10-13 08:18

What a crazy game. Break the egg to make fertilizer so it can grow into turrets that you can use to destroy each other in order to make colors, seems legit! Cute graphics and neat sound design, I had a lot of fun trying to beat this challenge of yours. Just a few notes though. - My first run I didn't know what I had to do, so I just kept jumping on the eggs, so I destroyed everything and got stuck having to restart the game. - In one of the runs I got my red "upgrade" before I had the chance of planting blue turrets, so I guess that was lost forever since all blue form there on out would turn out to be purple.

Not sure if those details were planned or not, but it is a good game. Great work!

khud0 2019-10-13 09:37

Incredible game! I love the amount of polish you put into it, particles, sound effects, interactivity. Brilliant game, well done!

lars-erik 2019-10-13 18:56

Amazing! Without words! Might just even return to this.

mharring 2019-10-14 18:20

This game is great. You did a great job of making exploration pay off without being frustrating and confusing - well done! One minor comment is that the acceleration on the movement made jumping a little inaccurate.

jamesolivermusic 2019-10-16 19:33

This was great fun. I had to restart the first time after destroying all the soil. I look forward to seeing what comes next! Maybe some music? :)

sillyman987 2019-10-17 11:09

So addicted!!!!! Awesome game!!!!

bernardex 2019-10-17 17:05

Nice entry bro! I didn't figure out the instructions clearly, and even then it was a pleasant experience of discovery.

dps2004 2019-10-18 14:01

Very nice and simplistic graphics. I liked the mouseover feature.

levidsmith 2019-10-23 05:46

Cute simulation game. Reminded me of the old tamagotchi games. I liked how the different colors affected the types of plants that grow.

elysiagriffin 2019-10-30 00:19
