Thanks for this game. I plays until the end !

diesdas 2023-01-08 20:20

Love the simple mechanics! Couldn't get past the 3rd level because I couldn't plant the mushroom, maybe a bug or I'm too dumb :) The jump sound was very annoying!

salmonmoose 2023-01-08 20:58

@diesdas You can switch between active seeds (see instructions for keys)

Just FYI HTML5 version is crashing my browser (Version 108.0.5359.124 (Official Build) (arm64))

I'd love to try, but the game freezes my Chrome :( Safari just gives up:

Error The following features required to run Godot projects on the Web are missing: Cross Origin Isolation - Check web server configuration (send correct headers) SharedArrayBuffer - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)

The web build seems to be broken :( Screenshot from 2023-01-08 22-08-35.png

Very fun platformer with a nice idea that fits the theme! The jumping was a bit complicated at times though.

Nice entry, even without much audio everything is coherent and clean. I was wondering if tighter/smaller levels could be beneficial, some levels felt large.

This could become a fun full scale game, congratulations.

Very fun mechanics! Loved your art. I would like to see this further developed.

Lol that jump sound going of repeatedly was a little silly but I think if there was an animation of the player shimming up the branches\vines they grow then it would turn very cute lol. Overall a nice little game I enjoy the concept of a platformer where you have to grow your way to the levels goal. I could see this being expanded out to a larger game. Good work.

I really enjoyed this game, I only wanted more levels. I though you did a very good job of introducing the new seeds and then doing a little more exploration. Oh and this ran perfectly fine for me on Chrome. I think some growing sound effects might have added a lot more. Like some sort of noise when the mushroom bloomed could have really made it feel magical. But yeah, congrats on making this game. Very interesting take on the theme. Cheers!

Neat gamer, killer vibes.

I got stuck prety early with the red mushroom, but really enjoyed it.

Nice little game, I liked how chill it was. I've used some of these assets for a Godot platformer too :p They're really nice.

The controls confused me a little cause I didn't read the description, but I found the right keys anyway and finished the game.

Thoroughly enjoyed it! Had some neat mechanics that could be expanded on for a lot of interesting puzzles.

The jumping sound itself wasn't bad, I think it's high end just needs to be tuned down a bit to make it easier on the ears.

The vine and mushroom growing animations could be sped up a little bit since you are experimenting with the different seed positions. It starts getting tedious waiting on it, especially if you need to restart a level.

The first mushroom part was a clever one that took me a few tries but was a good puzzle, It might would work better later on after you have time to use the mushroom seed a bit more.

I could see this doing well as a casual puzzler or a platformer if you wanted to go that route.

stevie257 2023-01-09 05:52

Not bad, I really like the concept! Could've used some background music though in my opinion

simsax 2023-01-09 11:03

Funniest game I've found so far. I think, as other have said, that you could develop this mechanic further and turn it into an actual game

frib 2023-01-09 13:56

Fun little game, well done! Could use some more levels and puzzles, but that's usually the case for game jams lol

nyxkn 2023-01-09 14:04

Game looks cute. Nice idea with the planting. Sound effects were very loud and annoying. Never set volume to max by default :) Seed selection was a little clunky, and it feels a bit weird to switch from action style controls to the slower sort-through-inventory actions. Art is actually very nice, especially the tiles and plants. Gameplay was maybe not the most engaging, and pace felt quite slow.

matimat 2023-01-09 18:37

Good game done in time. I enjoy to play the puzzle

hoeleboele 2023-01-09 21:59

Missing the music during my long puzzle hours. But i still managed to beat the game. Cool concept cant wait for more plants :)

kuboxxxxx 2023-01-09 22:10

It's nice and enjoyable experience, that's a nice base, you could add some more plants and make it a full game!

robotchimp 2023-01-10 01:06

I love the art. I also really like the puzzle idea, it doesn't get much time to shine, obviously understandable for a game jam! If I had one little nitpick, the plants growing a little faster would be nice. Really awesome, though!!

square-wave 2023-01-10 03:35

Well, it works on Firefox Nightly! (Admittedly I'm probably the only person seeing this who's using that though.)

Also, really enjoyed this. Adorable, compact little gem of a game. The sound effects and the art worked really well together and it was short but pleasant.

rulrite 2023-01-10 11:53

Ah, so this is what you were up to!

This a really tidy little game. The gameplay itself reminded me of Charmed Ridge in Spyro: Year of the Dragon (which certainly isn't a bad thing)! The controller support was very much appreciated, as well.

I think that if you were to expand on seed types and level layouts, it'd be easy to flesh this out into a fully-grown (ho-ho) puzzler. Congrats!

itzemii 2023-01-10 21:11

Oh. It does not work on my latest Chrome on Mac OS, even Chrome crashed. That's a pity. I was looking forward to play the game.

chum-chum 2023-01-10 21:41

Cool submission! Good job! + The levels were a bit too easy, but still well-designed. + Really liked the art style + It needs music!

salmonmoose 2023-01-10 23:00

@itzemii I'm sorry - do you happen to have one of the newer non Intel Macs? I suspect there are issues running on anything thats not x86 or 64x.

juzdepeche 2023-01-11 00:10

Really nice use of the theme, congrats!

The level design is really impressive, cheers to that.

Great job!!

jitspoe 2023-01-11 02:29

Neat take on making a harvest game more of a puzzle game. Shame Godot 4 doesn't work on Firefox, but it's nice that you gave it a try.

aurailus 2023-01-12 01:15

This game is super cute! I love the art, and the plants. The growing animations are great. The controls could use a bit of refinement, particularly with jumping on vines, and I wonder if it would be easier to just use the mouse to select the current seed instead of buttons, at least on keyboard. I love the blend of puzzle and platforming mechanics. I played to the end, I hope you make more of this game!

hypernoodlejon 2023-01-12 04:55

Very fun, very chill, very cute! An incredible amount of care was put into the pixel art and the growing animations. Not difficult but didn't need to be for me to have a great time just moving the character around. Also so happy for controller support! great work!

jellzilla 2023-01-12 14:01

Neat puzzle game! I enjoyed the various plant mechanics :)

arowx 2023-01-13 12:52

Great work. A bit frustraiting that you can't climb back up the mushroom for people not great at jumping/platformers. Especially as it's stem looks similar to the plant you can climb bumps. Maybe if the mushroom was more rounded and drooping at the edges people could jump climb back onto them.

noskro 2023-01-15 07:27

Cool game. The mechanics make for some interessting puzzles. I would have loved to see more puzzle and more plants. But for a game jam the amount of content is great. And the growing animations look great! And the last level can be solved with 1 mushroom seed left :)
