Great game. feeling of rush is great. Trying to plant as much as plants before that tile get dry was fun. However going back to the top to get more seed is bit repetitive. Maybe you can gather seeds from growing tomatoes. But ar and the mechanic really mesmerized me great work.

really nice, the art is amazing, the gameplay is simple but solid

Surprisingly more challenging than I initially thought, in a good way, there was some nice tension in there. Good entry, I'd love to see that water in pixel art :p Congrats

@blk-dg Agree, that was my intention but shader + pixel + 48h That was too much for me :D

Great job on the design and the mechanics! The atmosphere with music and the sfx was very good considering available time for development.

The gameplay is really fun and challenging. Well done!

Your game is pretty fun, so please make it more next time. Not bad, not bad :) I like your art. Overall that game is good, good job.

Wow the music is absolute banger! Love the take on the theme. It was really fun to play. Great job!

audio + graphics are good. Took a bit of time before it was rocking. I kind of liked the first part where I thought that I had to climb the plant to bring the food to the people. But than i got the idea and keep going deeper.

Love what you've got going here! Pixel art is amazing, music is ROCKING (the instruments remind me of Journey to Silius). Losing all progress when you die is brutal - this may be a personal preference, but I find "up" to jump difficult and not ideal controls for platforming. But I really like the use of theme and overall gameplay. Great job!

@Pixelydian Good catch for Journey to Siliu that's the inspiration :D Thanks for the feedback I'll probably use all that at the end of the jam to push a new version !

Really impressive music and graphics. It'd be nice if you got a bit of grace period or health so that you don't just have to restart all the way at the beginning if you fall into the water.

Simple but quite fun. I like the pixel art graphics and the audio. The mechanics were a bit confusing to me at first because I didn't realize I had to return with 100 tomatoes all at once. I thought that the tomatoes I brought back were adding up, so making that more clear in the instructions and/or in the game itself would've been helpful. Also, I noticed that sometimes the tomatoes get stuck inside the ground tiles and I think a little victory song would've been fun for the end. I really enjoyed this game though! Very polished and fun to play. Very impressive that you made this in 48 hours!

Lovely graphics and music. I like the concept too :), and the gameplay is interesting. It took me a while to figure out that I could double-jump. Nice job!

Had problems getting back up to the people, the jump felt a litte bit short

malai 2022-10-14 11:57

Nevermind, found out there is a double jump! Game was pretty fun, loved that you have "exponentially" more seeds available and figuring out when to go back up. Sometimes the game stuttered a lot for a few seconds (Intel Macbook, Google Chrome)
