This game was super hectic, but a lot of fun! I constantly felt just barely on the edge of what I could handle, I think you did a great job balancing it.

This game was super hectic, but a lot of fun! I constantly felt just barely on the edge of what I could handle, I think you did a great job balancing it.
Ambience is nice and gameplay is simple yet entertaining. I surprised myself enjoying the mood and not paying attention to some salads, only to wake up like "Oh crap i let them pass". Really liked the experience!
What a great game design ! Simple mechanic but loads of fun. The difficulty is well balanced.
I tried to play it on my smartphone (Android) but the screen is cropped, not playable.
In my opinion, the game needs something that incite the player to play again.
First time play and win!Look easy at first but at soon I found that it's not easy. The game is well polished, well done!
Simple design but very fun to play. Hooked me with the art even tho not made by you. Good vibes all around and a good game. More levels incoming I hope ? :D
Soo cool, you're creative! It required concentration, but I loved it and I won. Perfectly balanced. Maybe the speed of vegetables falling could increase at some point, for exemple at 1min.
Wow this is really cool. I could totally see this as a mobile game with multiple levels. Unfortunately the tomato bag is hard to grab because it seems to be blocked by the "Level 1" banner.
The idea is simple but really cool. Good mobile game vibe. Otherwise the game is really simple, maybe adding penalty when you put wrong vegetable in bag would be interesting.
What a beautiful game!! I'm very impressed. I'm also very surprised at how much cognitive load this requires! It was a very pleasant feeling of my brain suddenly at 100% focus after playing other more relaxed entries. Thanks for the experience :D Art is really cute, and game feels very polished. It's good to have a win screen and I think you found a nice balance of how long the game is. But I would have happily played longer.
@manchmalscott thanks! at first I was worried about people might think the pace is too slow. turned out it worked pretty well!
@mortith it's nice to hear that. Thank you.
@blublu Thanks for testing on mobile! I agree your saying as well. i think i can make metals or score or the likes to incite player to play again and play better.
@mnikn thanks you very much! I like your game a lot too. I'm also a Kaiji fan. XD
@hoeleboele really must give credits to the artists! i feel a bit cheating though because people are doing original arts... and yes i want to do more levels, and features!
@sdelay thanks for playing! the speed is insane slow indeed! actually i really want to crank up the speed to its limit to see how people do. XD
@masternoob it isn't supposed to happen 😱 thanks for telling me that, and thanks for playing!
@becher We have the same thoughts! the game does feel dry... i guess the game both benefit and harmed from being so simple.
@nyxkn I know! when i was setting the items fall speed for the first time, I was like "that's about right, my brain can handle that 🤔". then hit play, and then that difficulty was just insane! It's really nice to hear that you like it. thanks for playing!
Almost got it on my first go round, but the rng gods said otherwise. Got it on the second though! A very hectic game, and a very interesting concept. I played it on PC, but it looks like it was designed with mobile in mind. There's definitely not enough web based mobile games out there, so big time kudos for that.
I like this! It's a simple premise, but manages to be challenging without being overly-punishing. I struggled with the cabbages, as they have the highest bucket and so you have less time to move it in order to catch them. Luckily, because you only have to catch a certain number of each crop, once you've hit that target you can ignore that crop and just focus on the ones you haven't done yet. I managed to win with 32 seconds to spare.
It's a shame there's only one level, as there's definitely scope here to build this out into a much longer game with more of a difficulty progression (faster fall speeds, higher targets, etc). I understand the constraints of game jams, though, so no worries. Well done!
This game is designed to be played by a Multitasker, intresting concept :D
I started playing without reading anything and I didn't realize you weren't penalized for catching veggies with the wrong basket/not catching them, and I thought damn, this game looks cute but it's actually hardcore. Surprisingly fun, I think an online 'high scores' count would have been a great fit for this game, something like an infinite scrolling mode with only X misses allowed.
I really like this! This was super fun, easy to understand, fantastic presentation, if you released this on mobile with more levels or some progression I could see it taking off.
My one critique - wow this game starts fast. Maybe it's just me but I was struggling to multitask with how much came down to begin with. Maybe start the rate of falling stuff slower, and ramp it up over time? Still, despite that I really enjoyed my time playing.
Very chill but also deceptively hard!
I love how casual the game play is but still fun!
That was so stressful for some reasons for me XD Nice game concept and music! I think it would be even better if it was score based, with some punishment for each crops missed or grabbed into wrong bag. Anyway, great game!
Really fun and hectic!. I love how you can plan ahead a bit and then completely mess up the other rows. Also it is cool to see what other people can do with the same Assets we used in our Game.
Passed the 20 ratings gate. Thanks everyone!
@geraldfingburke thanks. however it's not playable on mobile. 🥲 well, at least i learn something new.
@f1krazy thank you very much! I too have many ideas on making all kind of different levels and mechanics! although i'm not quite sure about the ideas and they need to be explored and tested. but faster fall speeds definitely would be a fun one :D
@andreadbx thanks! and thank you for your streams! it was very valuable watching you play others and my game.
@feor great ideas! i like making leaderboard very much. it seems to be a very effective feature. Penalizing for catching the wrong veggies seems fun too. (at least it's fun for me to torture the players XD)
@sciman101 it's so nice to hear that. thank you! and I really appreciate the critique. it's so true!
@chybby thanks for playing!
@monoh-behavior thanks! btw, love your game and your channel. 🙂
@zimny11 it's very valuable to hear that! thank you. I too feel like being so busy for 3 minutes straight is too much. probably need something to address that.
@schlock omg we did use the same asset! XD The Cozy packs really are gold!
Cute little game! It looked like it would be easy at first, but once all the vegetables started falling, it got enjoyably hectic. I liked how I just had to get a certain amount of each vegetable instead of trying to get every vegetable, that made it a lot less stressful. The fact that some bins were closer to the top of the screen than others also made the gameplay more interesting.
Surprisingly addicting for such a simple mechanic! Very clear and easy to understand, felt pretty relaxing especially knowing there's no penalty for messing up. Good work! Only issue I found was that (on Mac at least) the default browser scale made it so the "level 1" graphic was overlapping with the tomato bag and I couldn't grab it at all. Easily fixed by rescaling the browser but thought I'd point it out! 4bags.png
@shimmerscale thanks for playing! it's nice to hear that you like the idea of having some bins being higher than others! it's important to me because i actually think that is the very main charm of the game.
@rosypenguin holy crap, i didn't expect it will get exposed to you at all! thank you very much for playing and commenting! it means a lot. and thanks for pointing that bug out. it now will get turned off entirely instead of just staying there.
With all the beautiful art and sounds and fun gameplay, it is 5/5. good job mate!

Nice little game, but the difficulty curve is a little bit too high at the beginning. It would be great to open new bugs gradually.
simple but really fun game! the art is cute, and the mechanic is really interesting! and the speed of the falling vegetables is appropriate.
Cute little game that was actually way more enjoyable than i expected. Well done!
The unique gameplay mechanic was very fun (and stressful at times)! I think the game would benefit from slowly ramping up the difficulty and introducing new baskets in multiple levels.
This was a neat game with nice visuals. I found it a bit repetitive after a while but overall nice job!
Extra stressful. Would love to download it as an app
