The concept was really good, kinda like tower defense. The implementation of the concept needed a little work but that is what this is all about. Nice work and a great submission, amazing what you can do in just a few days!
Graphically crisp, with very simple controls. It wasn't clear to me why I needed to move much at all, since the range of the gun was big enough to hit the guys around the garden. If you couldn't shoot through the garden, that would make more sense. It would be nice to have some visual indicator of the health of the guys or the trees, and I think having one hit to kill guys would be better given that they're eventually going to overwhelm you anyway. Good work with this - it was fun to try out.
Very cool idea. Of course the game needs better graphics and some music but the gameplay was smooth. Nice entry!
Understand you were working by yourself. Straightforward concept. I just wish I had a little more feedback for actions. And sometimes I would shoot and the bullets would pass right through the enemies.
Thanks for all your feedback! :smile: Yes the end result was a bit too simple with a few more hours I could have polished a bit more both graphically and the gameplay. Saturday was spent doing a useless (for a jam) map editor and Monday I had to work :disappointed: I also wanted to make the green area decay with enemies and add flamethrowers to the enemies xD
@dob @heyycap The shooting was a bit off and some bullets missed the enemies :disappointed: @dob Instead of health bars I thought of putting the trees with different fire intensities but I didn't reach that point :wink:
@alkis I always miss the graphics and sound! Need to work on that and create a generic library for jams because sound makes all the difference :smile:
@vernalbehemoth My idea was inspired on Tower Defense because I love the genre! :wink: I always like to participate on LD and everytime I do I learn something new! :smile: Thanks!
I think it's a game that lacks a lot of things, the idea seems good, I can even admit that it can be something fun. But it lacks a lot of work. It's normal that a lot of games are unfinished or have obvious deficiencies (mine is the first game that you see that is unfinished, the lack of time plays against us), but you always have to try to plan better in terms of time and the skills you can offer, and be as focused as possible so that the game is as polished as you can get within that planning.
@algebro Thanks for your feedback :wink: I need to work on getting some art and sounds more ready to use as that is usually what I leave for last and end up not doing :thinking: I'm a programmer and I dedicated too much time to gameplay and other technical issues which I was really excited to work on :stuck_out_tongue: But this was a learning experience and on the next Jams I participate I know I will perform a lot better :wink: Thanks! :smile:
well programmed and to the point, you did a good job as a programmer and you would do great with a team!
It's simple, fits the theme. Good Job!
@kostasvs @lestat Thanks a lot for your feedback guys! :smile: it was a great jam and I did what I could :wink: I'll try and polish my skills, practice a bit on getting art and sound into a project and next time I'm sure the end result will look a lot more polished! :smile:
I just wish I had a little more feedback for actions and sometimes I would shoot and the bullets would pass right through the enemies, Nice work!!!
How many inputs do you need for a game? - Well I think I found the answer. Well done litle game.
I’m afraid my character isn’t very good at aiming ;(
