I really enjoyed this one. It was silly but awesome

crazi456 2020-10-05 02:02

Very cute beaver. Fun little game, Good job!

I never realized the tough life of a beaver. Thank you for teaching me this story of nature. I will be sure to leave more buckets near rivers in case the beavers don't have any.

Seriously though this was great!

The beaver character is cute. The gameplay is intresting but stressful.

oa5f 2020-10-05 13:14

Loved the art style! The gameplay was simple yet fun.

dadiaogames 2020-10-05 15:59

Good gameplay, great graphics, nice submission! If there are some little bonuses added some times, it would be better.

omarmobadr 2020-10-05 15:59

Really liked the art style and the gameplay is very smooth

seanarooni 2020-10-05 16:59

Cute game, looks and feels really good.

m8rix 2020-10-05 20:15

Cute and polished little game! Fun and interesting arcade mechanics :)

axeltherabbit 2020-10-05 21:06

Cute graphics :3

coding4rtist 2020-10-05 21:10

Cool idea! Simple but good gameplay. The art style is cute.

I was far more amused at the simple beaver running animation than I have any right to be. Also, I had no idea how important beavers were to our water cycle! #TheMoreYouKnow

I'd say you made yourself a nice little game within your 12-hour time span. Nice work!

justswn 2020-10-05 23:05

Simple and lovely. Good work, love the art style, couldn't save the beaver that long, but got 127 points :)

alec 2020-10-05 23:52

Really well done. Graphics were on point and gameplay was addicting.

gironimo4 2020-10-06 00:41

Frustrating gameplay, just because I'm a completionist and as soon as I dropped below 100% I knew I was just fighting to keep what I had. Great art! Nice job.

nobleboy 2020-10-06 01:42

That's one greedy dang beaver, the grass needs water to grow too!

Nice simple well executed game.

@voidraizer @crazi456 @neonjeff @nikos @oa5f @dadiaogames @omar-14 @seanarooni @m8rix @axeltherabbit @coding4rtist @fussenkuh @justswn @alec Thanks to everybody for the nice feedback. This was my first jam and didn't know what to expect, but the community here is really nice :-) Hope I didn't forget to mention anyone.

@gironimo4 it's frustrating for me too, should probably start with more than 100 % to satysfy my inner OCD :-)

@nobleboy I don't believe you caught every last rain drop, so I guess the grass had it's share of water too :-)

netmute 2020-10-06 06:53

My score is 37. Did I do well? :cold_sweat:

The art was super great! I wish there was some kind of feedback when the bucket is full, I missed that repeatedly :sweat_smile:

ondy1985 2020-10-06 07:01

@netmute there's a "progressbar" underneath the beaver that fills up, you have have keep an eye on it :-)

geryon-games 2020-10-06 12:34

Fantastic artwork! Simple gameplay loop, but great execution. Awesome fun and educational game!

virtual-turtle-studio 2020-10-06 19:20

Lovely little game you got here! It looks super cute and when the beaver started walking around it was just way too cute. The game is pretty addictive and I think with a bit of music this would have been even more fun for a long time. My highscore is 612, but I do think it's a losing battle. At some point you just see the water going down and there is no way you can keep up, haha. Anyway, good job on this entry!

ondy1985 2020-10-06 19:24

@virtual-turtle-studio wow 612? I have never got that many points, the game starts to be a little boring after a a while :-D Yes, I definitely wanted to add music, but as I wanted to join the compo not the jam, I would have to create the music myself, which was a no go.

ramble-house-games 2020-10-07 00:31

Great little game. I can tell that it was nicely scoped for the compo. The art is cohesive and fun.

arron-fowler 2020-10-08 08:14

Its a really good game for such a short amount of time. I feels like its going to be easy at first and soon snaps you out of that once you realise the tension of a full bucket. The game loop is really good.

skoggy 2020-10-08 19:34

Got 56 points! Probably terrible! Nice fit to the theme, and also very frustrating when you start missing the droplets. I definitely needed a bigget bucket! Great job!

gettingrekt 2020-10-09 16:30

I found this game greatly balanced when it came to graphics, UI, playability, sounds (a bit lacking without music but hey, better than bad music!). I think the limited scope of the game helped it out quite alot. Good job!

island-jam-2-group-3 2020-10-09 21:17

I had no idea about that part of the water cycle! Simple but cool and entertaining game! Liked the beaver and the title ;-)

endurion 2020-10-11 17:54

Very nice little game. Getting a bit tedious later on, but still made 182 points.

flying-dog-fish 2020-10-13 21:26

Very cute game! Also educational and environmentally friendly too. And funny title too.

jakobthequizguy 2020-10-17 14:48

The artstyle and simple gameplay makes me feel like this could be a great minigame for a children's game! It was fun to play, but I didn't like the thunder(?) sound that kept repeating, it got annoying quickly. Nevertheless, this is a good entry!

ondy1985 2020-10-19 21:20

@jakobthequizguy there's no thunder :-) maybe you mean tge sound when you are pouring the water out of the bucket :-) It was the closest I got to the sound of water using sfxr :-D

doraemon 2020-10-23 02:30

Love the sound when I empty the bucket! really enjoy this game, great job!

svarttand 2020-10-26 21:36

Really nice game, and a good spin on the theme! i got a score of 90 so i guess thats decent as a first try.
