The character movement feels pretty good, it has a lot of bounce to it and is very responsive ! Although it gets VERY difficult VERY quickly, maybe slower bullets and plants weighing you down would help the player get into it.

Other than that the visuals are great and the story telling is well done !

Great job !

Looks good, and the character feels nice to move around, but the precision you need to dodge the traps combined with the speed of the character made it difficult!

Very nice overall game though!

Great execution! The graphics feel very polished, and the receding fog is lovely. The fog did occasionally feel unfair when it punished me for running forward by only revealing a trap at the very last second. The movement feels good and I think the traps are quite fair, but they're very hard. I found it easier to get through some of the bullet sections by repeatedly trying to jump randomly than by trying to carefully dodge, which I failed at. The dialogue is fun, and adds to the polished feeling. It's a little tenuous with the theme of harvest.

Really a nice game!I was grabbed by the fruit and THROWing them at the right time is the key to winning.The fog,the art and the music aer really nice.It changes my thought about platformer games because it is really cool.I like it because of not only it's physics system,but alse it's story.Though I have no time thinking about the story,I think it is fantastic.Congratulations for your 72 hours' result.To tell the truth,I can't find the word "but".I can just say:It is a little difficult and I've tried many times already.Overrall a nice game!!!

Fun concept! Always nice when you add something new to an existing genre.

Ooof, from the first frames of the game I immediately noticed something strangely familiar I thought it looks like heaps and the haxe language. And it is so! Very strange feeling, hah. I've been working with heaps/haxe extensively in the recent past. Nice game too!

The style of the game is really nice. I felt that the controls are rather floaty and imprecise, which wasn't helping with avoiding those blazingly fast bullets. I had to give up pretty soon. The few sounds are very pleasant to the ear, but more + music surely would've added to the game. I liked the small backstory with the droid.

Excellent platform jumping game. The action and control are both extremely smooth. However, the fruit may be moving too quickly. It is always tangled in my hair.

Nicely done! I really liked the concept of the fruit slowing you down.

Really polished and fun! Love the simple but yet pretty graphics. Just wish I could use the dash during jumping :)

Really good and polished game, I loved the storytelling, art and the sound effects.

Amazing pixel art, and a great deal of juice in the presentation, especially the way the text is presented. Loved the banter as well. Finding out what killed you wasn't super obvious though. Maybe pause the game for a second or so and add an aninamation and/or sound effect?

super ncie game, i loved the art and how the level is discovered and how your text is displayed. i found it a bit hard and punitive because the shots are kinda hard to dodge imo, but i've had a great time playing it!

This is a neat little platformer! Movement felt nice to me, and the graphics were quite impressive! I love games that "draw" the world as you explore it. However, this effect was also the game's downfall for me; I could not make it past the second bullet room because I had no way of seeing the bullets from afar. The traps definitely should not start shooting until after the player enters the room. It's unfortunate; I was really enjoying everything up to this point, but I just couldn't persevere. :sweat:

@alex-garbus Thanks for playing! I was watching on stream, and it was pretty instructive. I felt pretty bad for you by the time you got to that room, sorry!

I meant to add triggers to reveal regions (rather than just going off what the player can see by line of sight) but didn't make it timewise :(

Cool game, had some issues with the low visibility but overall nice game

I like the graphics and story telling. Biggest downside for me was the difficulty. Levels are fine but since the shooters are not making sound or any visual preparation it was hard to guess the rythm and the fact that it shoots even though you cannot see it yet make it even more difficult. Nice entry overall though :muscle:
