The game is very stressful, that's great! It would be cool if you moved a little faster or there was a sprint function.

Woah. This game is great. Wow. Likes: 1) THE ART. THE ANIMATIONS. CHEF's KISS. CHEF's KISS. 2) The music is great. Very fitting. 3) Gameplay is really fun. I do wish I could run tho.. or move faster to get that precious water haha Suggestions: 1) Make it more clear when a pig gets eaten. Squealing sound or something? Overall: Great job. Fantastic game to play.
Nice little game! The feeling of unstability does pass well, it's kinda repetitive but its shortness compensates for it, everything works well and the art and sound are great!
Nice game! The art looks amazing. I would love it if you could get an upgrade to the maximum amount of water you can carry at a time. Great entry, nonetheless!
@rumiaobsessed @mnursey Thank you for the feedback! Sounds like giving the player better access to water is a common theme, so for next iterations we'll start by implementing a sprint/dash. A pig getting eaten sound does also seem like a good change as well, especially because the player is constantly by the well so they never see the pigs disappear.
@khelian Thank you for the review! I'm glad you liked our entry :)
@pink-shard-games Thank you for the review and the suggestion! Giving the player the option to upgrade their max water does seem like a good idea for helping make water less scarce. It could also give the player an option for what to spend their bones on, rather than making it a one-dimensional resource. We'll definitely play around with that idea, thanks!
The pigs expressions before getting eaten are so sad lol. Seconding the upgradable water limit, but amazing sprites/animations and mood. Perfect October game
nice
Very fun game, music and art are fantastic and the progression is well paced. as many have noted, only thing missing is a water bucket upgrade. Otherwise, one of my favorite entries so far
Good one
Really nice and cute animations and style. Really challenging resource management, my poor pigs got eaten so much! I totally agree with the previous comments that some indications visual or audio that the pigs were eaten would be nice to have. Good job on this guys!
Love the Halloween themed game for October! Seriously haven't seen enough of those this Jam. I really liked this concept and I found it quite fun. Would have been nice to be able to upgrade the watering can limit? Other than that, beautiful game and you did a great job!
so spooky lol, it would be a cute game for Halloween theme. it's easy at first, as I realized the pumpkin will eat the piggies, it was too late... a very fun little piece. good job!
Almost grew the whole garden before it completely went out of control =) This simple concept works well for me - I really enjoyed the game. I appreciate horror theme, so the art style of the game and its spookiness are a big love. Great job!
This game was absolutely lovely! Beautiful art, nice music, and a well executed mechanic! I wish I could have known when the animals were getting eaten, though, and it would have been nice to be able to maybe get a better watering can or raise my speed or something so I had a better chance of keeping up. Lovely game, regardless <3 I had a lot of fun
I really liked the game and the spooky aesthetic (maybe it could've had some darker lighting?). I loved the twist with the pumpkins eating the livestock and especially with how they can also eat you. A sprint/dash mechanic like you mentioned above would really help with the rushy atmosphere the gameplay has (which kind of contradicts the cool/calm character). Very well done!
The visuals and music are awesome. The gameplay fits the theme perfectly and is pretty enjoyable. It's slightly brough down by the slow movement speed but that is part of the balance so it makes sense. I hope this makes it to 20 votes, it deserves it.
Awesome visuals and music but you missed the theme. nevertheless I liked playing your game, it has a solid gamloop of collecting poop and watering the pumpkins
Cool concept! Only took a few seconds to actually understand the mechanics, although it took a little while for things to get going. Great music and art too!
Seconding pig getting eaten sound. I realized the pumpkins were eating the pigs too late since there was no indication it was happening.
Very cool! I agree with others - the ability to go a bit faster, and a better indication when a pig was getting eaten, would add some polish to this. But a really amazing entry as it is - great job!
