Great graphics and atmosphere. Definitely is cute.
Can't find that 10th carrot, I gave up!
Beside that, the pace of the game is a bit slow because of the movement speed, but hectic because of the 10seconds waves of racoons. I don't know if it's a good or bad thing. The feeling of emergency was strong in this one
@williewlchew sorry for the delay, I'm gonna test your game right now. Thanks for your comment :)
@lukein ohh maybe was the carrot behind the truck. We didn't have the time to properly balance the parameters, I pressed submit when there was only 1 minute remaining xD. Thank you for your comment, as the programmer I had to test the game over and over again and therefore every time I play the game I get the perfect score and couldn't tell if the game is hard
Kept me on my toes. Pressing F causes the every object to swap states? It messes with the racoons which is adequate payback for showboating their moves
Get off my lawn pesky raccoons! This truly is a nightmare. Trampling crops, ruining my laundry, DANCING?! Seriously, when the first wave came in and they just started dancing while the music was playing I cracked up. Who ever came up with this idea is a genius. Made the game 10x more enjoyable for me. Took me a while to find all the carrots because I was too busy getting rid off these racoons (which isn't a bad thing!). Too bad after a restart you need to do the tutorial again, but not a major complain. The graphics were nice and the atmoshpere really cozy. Loved the little story bit at the beginning. On the 2nd attempt I got everything. I don't really know how you could lose. Racoons on all spots? I liked this one! Hope you had fun making it.
I love the racoon dance animation, and the low-poly style looks nice. Wasn't too difficult once I understood what I had to do, maybe could add jobs that require more than just holding down a button. Cute and enjoyable game overall, congrats!
I liked the graphics, especially your menus look and feel very clean and slick!
Gameplay-wise it felt maybe a bit slow and was not as challenging as it could have been. I finished all tasks and found all carrots with quite some time left.
Maybe fending off the racoons with some other action than just holding down the E key would make the game more engaging. First thing that comes to mind may be having to quickly type some random letter combination that resets when you fail it. Something like that to add a bit more pressure.
Also, as someone else already mentioned, the F key seems to do some weird stuff where it swaps the state of all 3 stations on/off. Maybe some forgotten debug-feature? I did not use it to complete the game, I just noticed it.
Other than that I enjoyed the look and feel of your game.
@grizwhirl nooooo!! that was our debug keys, I forgot to disable them, now that I remember there are several keys that perform actions, the controller keys should only be ARROWS and E
@oakhardt hahah amazing! and yeah you can't really lose the game, you just finish it without a bad score. I wanted to make that the tutorial just play on the first try, but didn't have the time. Your game is amazing!!
Really nice walking and interacting animations. Great farmer model. Love the dancing racoons but hate that they steal from me!! Good job to you and your team.
nice, took me a minute to realize what I had to do. I love the cute but meddlesome raccoons! This reminds me too much of dealing with squirrels in my garden..
Graphics are really nice and character movement is insanely smooth! Really nice work!
Very nice graphics - good models and very good colors! The music is also cool - fits the game well and synergizes with the graphics.
Some minor nitpicks: - The whole game is controlled from a keyboard, and yet you need to click a mouse in the menu and to make the text proceed. It would be nice if you could just Enter or Space the text away. - Would be cool to be able to skip the tutorial after the first try. - At the end you get a "Score board" but there is no score there :laughing: - it's just really a list of what you did. Maybe each action should have some points assigned to it, and then you could display the sum of points to the player at the end - giving an actual score along with the list.
Very good job on the game!
Really cute, the graphics and music worked together great to set a cheeky mood, which fit a game about racoons. The various SFX were used really well. I felt ownership over the farm and wanted the racoons to go away for sure. Walking around collecting things felt nice, I actually really enjoyed wandering around before the raccoons arrived :-)
I played through it a few times and never figured out how to get a tick in anything other than "farm" - some more in-game help like highlighting what you can do with items, maybe making the icons next to them more prominent, would help. Also getting rid of the racoons didn't seem to do much, they'd just come back, and fixing what they did didn't seem to improve my end outcome? Also it was pretty hard to *not* get all the carrots, so they didn't seem very important? I think that if your actions had more weight to them (like permanently changing the world, or giving you a score feedback, or whatever) it'd be really fun, with a bit more variety like the ability to run.
I think basically I want a mini farm simutor where you need to chase away raccoons.
fun little game ! Art is really great ! love the raccoon dance ! jsut one note: Its a bit strange that we have to collect carrot everywhere rather than in the vegetable garden but its fine too.

Nice game! I love the little details you added and of course the dancing raccoons!
This is a quick fun game with nice art. If you hold the E key down before you approach the raccoons it skips needing to hold down the button to chase them away.
I didn't look at the controls at first, and was using F, so it kinda prevented me to understand on my first playthrought ahah. When I got that it was a debug key, the second time around it quickly made more sense!
I ADORE the racoons dancing around, and the wee tune going with it. It's adorable. Low poly works great. You could easily build up on the game and do more tasks, more levels... Nice entry!
I like the look of it quite a bit! :smile:
I liked it when the raccoons danced, in fact the game bugged and they got stuck dancing by the fire even though the timer had finished, good for them
This is a really cute game. It's fun to play, looks good, the music fits well and the super cute racoons appear on the prescribed amount of seconds.
Using a key like space for advancing through the text would make this even better (switching from mouse to keyboard and back can be bothersome).
Wow, interesting concept, nice mood, with beautiful stylized graphics and cute raccoons too!
Fun little game with beautiful graphics. The music during the raccoons' shenanigans fits well. I was really confused why you couldn't collect any vegetables from the vegetable garden at first, but figured it out on the second playthrough.
The graphics were really cute, I both love and hate those smug little dancing raccoons. Very fun idea, that I could see being quite a good and chaotic experience with a few more levels each introducing more mechanics to juggle
Very cute game! I really loved the little animation of the racoons messing with your stuff! I found the controls/mechanics both intuitive and unintuitive. Once I figured them out what item did what was obvious, but I got no feedback for doing something wrong. I wasn't really guided into trying a different item on each thing, initially I thought I was using the rake to drive the racoons away, but I was actually using it to get the garden back in shape.
I really liked the gameplay loop of the game. The franticness of going between running racoons off and trying to track down the carrots was nice! I found myself at the very end just waiting for everything to complete so I could run off to get the last carrots with reckless abandon. The timer of course was fixed for this theme, but maybe playing with the walk speed could help incorporate all of this.
The audio fit the game really well as well! The whole thing was pretty nicely cohesive. Good job!
WOW what a polished entry! The gameplay is a little simple, but the art style and UI are really well done! It's such a small thing, but I really loved all the little UI animations that you added- makes the game feel so professional. I think with some extended gameplay this would make a great little indie game. Great job!
Extremely great visuals (easy 5) and wonderful gameplay loop, once I got the hang of it. One of the best games I have played in the 20+ games so far. Well done!
Love the art of the game :heart: I really like the atmosphere of the game, it's cute, the little music is nice. For a game made in 72 hours it's quite impressive :smile: I haven't seen other games in this genre so congratulations to you for the originality!
really fun and cute game! the animations were quite amazing and nice to see! you could totally add a few more levels with increasing difficulty and make it a sellable game for sure!
