Fun little game! - Fun to slowly fill the forest with more allies and trees - Menus were sick, especially the title! Very cool.

Here is some feedback: - Is there a benefit to charging up your arrows? Rapidly clicking seemed more effective. - Not being able to use WASD controls was odd, you usually want to include both arrow key and WASD for controls. - The shop menu was clunky to close, especially since you open/close it so often. Maby a shortcut key would be nice. - You should probably not be able to move while the shop is open! It lets you effectively teleport by pausing time and makes speed/needle upgrades purely quality of life.

Overall a fun little game!

Thanks, appreciate the feedback.

Fun game, the mechanics are great, it was just a little lacking in polish. sounds for buying items or trying to purchase something when you're out of money. consistency in art, that sort of thing. I will say maybe make the ending less dramatic. It scared me a little :)

douwe-ravers 2020-04-20 21:35

thanks. Haha yeah, the first time I played it to the end I scared too.

A lot more fun when you figure out you don't have to hold the bow. Not sure how PC the story is! Where does he get his money from?

Fun game, on the easy side but it's not a bad thing. I thought the premise was fairly humourous and the gameplay is super fun. With some polish I think it could be something really fun :D

Hey this was super fun to play! You should check out our game (Life of Sparky) - you don't protect the forest, but you play the wildfire instead!

Great little game, great upgrade options, easy to tell what to do, feels like a big area to protect but that just puts the pressure on making it quite fun! Awesome job!

I enjoyed and won your game! The Shop added so much to the pace of the game. At first i just clicked around and did close to no damage but the bonuses added so much power! Awesome! I only have one question: Does powering up the bow string for a while increase the damage?

Pretty solid game and very fun. At the start I had no idea what I was doing, but it just took a while before the enemies spawned. I think it'd be useful if you had a countdown timer or something just to show that the game is responding. I like the limited arrows, really shows that if you spam, then you're just spending money on that rather than upgrades. Nice job!

Nice little game! Easy to play, my suggestion is to add some type of feedback when you hit the angry farmer

badosz 2020-04-20 21:48

Very interesting style of the game! Like the idea

Not bad little game, would have liked to have seen more variation of enemies and possibly a way of seeing the trees expand more. Maybe have some other things that you need to protect in the forest as well such as animals. Definitely some potential there.

great jam game, maybe an endless mode will be cool. why i am shooting an arrow when i leave the shop menu x) ?

Played the HTML build for about five minutes and didn't die. I didn't notice any game-breaking bugs, which is good. I really enjoyed the mouth sounds and bonus points for the animated title screen. I think some people might find the subject matter questionable. Overall though it fits the theme and is a complete LD game.

dryden 2020-04-20 21:54

Alot more fun than I expected. Building up your player made it very fun. and the music really added to the gameplay. Really fun. Well done (:

Fun game! I liked how I could improve my damage and money so much that previous problems (lack of arrows) eventually didn't represent a problem. I did like how easy it was to purchase arrows - lifesaver!

talslain 2020-04-20 22:01

I had good fun playing this! I didn't understand the benefit to charging the arrows though, is there any? But there was some moments I thought I was going to lose but the trees don't burn fast enough, maybe it could be more punishing?

But good game!

Really cool, I love the 3D sound effect to know the torcher positions.

Your link from your itch.io page is to edit the page... And because this site is buggy I can now edit this page?? I think you should change the link :laughing: LD whoops.png

douwe-ravers 2020-04-21 15:08

@njm-games hahah thanks for saying that! I will change it right away.

gwinnell 2020-04-23 21:26

Really neat that you managed to get an upgrade system in there! :slight_smile:

jaywoody 2020-04-27 14:26

This is pretty cool game! I like how you have this big area to cover and you just can't do it and you have to think of strategies to minimize the destruction to your forest. Pretty spot on when it comes to the theme.

The music was a perfect fit to create atmosphere and it's very addicting to upgrade stuff.

Nice work!
