A pretty well made and funny little game. The visuals is cute and funny. And the music is really good and it fit the game idea very well. Overall a very good jam game. Well done.

@jk5000 thank you so much!

Well done pixel-art!

I am the greatest carrot that ever lived!

Awesome graphics and animations. I loved the `>:|` face on the arm and carrot's face, especially when caught! I wonder whether you didn't mix height and width settings on itch.io, because it loads as portrait mode instead of landscape for me:

But that can be fixed easily by making the game fullscreen.

Also, this is a really good music! Not sure if shopping working properly for me - I would prefer instant response from trader, but maybe I was just doing something work. Either way, great job here!

maybe Im just bad at the game, but a little boost to jump height would've helped a lot! The art and sound on this game is fantastic, fuck celery

@v0odo0 Thank you so much!

@miltage Lets go! Congratulations!

@dzejpi So happy you enjoyed the game! I didn't really know what I was doing when I set up the web build, so I probably messed up which is why it is in portrait mode.

@jellybean Thank you so much for the feedback! Happy you enjoyed the art and sound! Yeah, Fuck celery!

@dzejpi @triangle-point if you press the fullscreen button at itch.io, the game is in landscape mode again!

Also, very nice and cute game!

Funny little game. Bonus are really expensive. Jumping over ennemy is really hard i would have liked it to be easier at least for the beginning (smaller mob ?). Audio and visual are cools ! Congrats!

@jonqs thank you for the feedback sorry about the enemy size like 1 hour before the jam ended the script stopped working and I had too many bigger things that needed to be fixed like the hand sometimes doing something weird like not attacking and because the enemy’s were still possible to dodge while harder I had to leave it. Glad you had fun

Nice pixel art and music, good job!

triangle-point 2023-01-10 22:07

@roblaro thank you happy you like enjoyed it (:

Fun game. I liked the pixel art, and the little trail effect when moving the carrot left or right. Jump effect felt a little underpowered, though: it felt like I wasn't jumping high enough, which made it harder to jump over enemies. Well done!

Fun little game, it's got potential. I don't personally think that enemies/the hand should destroy the collectibles, since they kept spawning immediately in front of an enemy or under the hand as it was slamming down and so there was a 0% chance of being able to collect them.

Also the shop just didn't work :D

But I see the potential definitely!

Nice compo submission

triangle-point 2023-01-12 22:16

@digital-bacon @bobbo Thank you so much for the feedback! Happy you enjoyed the game otherwise!

@pusheeneiro Thank you so much!

pennycook 2023-01-13 02:53

This is a great compo entry. The art is good, the music is good, and it's a complete game! :thumbsup:

Like @bobbo I couldn't get the shop to work, and don't think I encountered any opportunities to earn any gold. I kept clicking "Make mad" but nothing seemed to happen.

One other thing that stood out to me was the font (which I think might be the Unity default)? I personally find it really jarring when high-resolution fonts are used with pixel art games, and I think the overall aesthetic would be more consistent if you switched to a pixel font. I like [monogram](https://datagoblin.itch.io/monogram) and [m5x7](https://managore.itch.io/m5x7), which are both CC0.

poboy 2023-01-13 10:13

Fun music and concept! A bit slow in the beginning. I also couldn't get the shop to work.

Also I learned that carrot + parsnip anti-synergy only recently, didn't think I'd see it feature in a LD game :)

juanrod707 2023-01-19 10:02

I like the music and the art style above all else. Nice and complete game, great entry!

verttixpertti 2023-01-24 07:17

I got a little confused because I could jump towards the first enemies and not take damage, but then I tried to jump on a tomato and died.

triangle-point 2023-01-27 01:59

@pennycook Sorry that you had these issues. I hope you enjoyed your time otherwise!

@poboy So happy you caught that! I recently learned about that too and I thought it would be a funny inclusion

@juanrod707 Thank you so much, happy you enjoyed it!

@verttixpertti I will admit the box colliders on the enemies are a little bit, I rushed to put them in last minute. Hope you had fun though!

burnedkirby 2023-01-27 03:56

A bit difficult game, but the music is great. I managed to collect about 6 gold, but wasn't able to buy "make angry" from the shop for some reason. I think it would be nice if one could skip to the next day since waiting for the shop-keep to leave is a bit tedious. Very amusing game though, especially the game-over screen. Good work!

Very fun game. Good job! :D
