Very good entry. Liked the graphics.

I like the simplicity of the game play. You were able to include the theme as part of the game in a nice way.

I think the audio side can be improved a little bit, maybe to give a better feel when farming. Also camera sometimes doesn't help to much to spot enemies when moving arround.

Maybe the camera could be panned to where you're aiming or where you're moving?

Overall a nice entry.

This game seems very fun, but as French people, I have a AZERTY keyboard, so i play using ZQSD, pretty hard with WSAQ :(

What a fun game. I like that the game has a small storyline to frame it as well.

The goal is immediately obvious, and it's very satisfying to go around picking things up Pacman style. The firing mechanic feels a little bit goofy, but it fits really well with the overall feeling of the game.

Good entry. :)

Thanks everyone for the feedback so far, we really appreciate it! <3

@aendawyn Thanks for letting us know! This is something we didn't even consider, but definitely should have... Maybe we'll manage to add a fix a bit later on, and we'll definitely keep it in mind for next time.

Cool graphics! Maybe you could hold down the mouse to shoot :D

zonoxx 2023-01-09 11:48

@ab0303 thank you for your feedback! We definitely considered it but decided against it to make shooting and aiming a more conscious effort ;)

I made it into double harvest time and racked up a good score. But double the blue turkeys proved fatal, they cornered me after a while and that was my demise.

Very fun entry, it's's satisfying to just roam around on a patch of wheat and collect them all. The turkeys prove a reasonable challenge too, mostly the blue targeting ones. The voice clips added a lot of style, I liked those. All in all great job on your game!

Game looks quite cute and fun characters! Gameplay is very simple though and gets stale very quickly. Aim system with the fixed crosshair is always a bit clunky. Also suffering from the "weak pistol" problem. You **definitely** need a much more powerful weapon as a tank! Overall a nice looking game that isn't quite fun enough just yet.

zonoxx 2023-01-09 17:30

@nyxkn Thank you very much for the thorough feedback and I completely agree with you. As mentioned above, we had to cut out a major game mechanic due to time constraints, which was an upgrade shop were you could buy upgrades and make your tank stronger with the points you earned, giving you better fire rate, larger projectiles, other weapons etc. But as these things go, we had to boil things down to where they are now.

zonoxx 2023-01-09 18:24

@aendawyn I just updated the game to include multiple keyboard configurations. Try it out and let me know if this helped.

aendawyn 2023-01-09 18:54

@zonoxx Awesome ! Perfect thanks a lot

bo-dangles 2023-01-09 19:33

game was fun and made me laugh

kodingnights 2023-01-09 20:00

TanksGriefing! :laughing: The game would benefit from some more animation, and some player reaction when hit by enemies.

seppo-saamaki 2023-01-09 20:57

Funny characters, and simple, fun gameplay. Difficulty level is carefully adjusted.

wouterk12 2023-01-09 20:58

Funny game! I like the original idea!

ben-toosey 2023-01-09 21:38

A great game, especially considering it's your first ever! Would be great to have the aim target follow your cursor instead of being fixed a certain distance away from the player. Really enjoyed it :)

kuboxxxxx 2023-01-09 22:03

I love how those duck just do a kamikaze attack at your tank, reminds me of the old days on the front

phillip-scott 2023-01-10 00:16

Fun and chill - think I was doing too well, it crashed :cry: image_2023-01-10_001656352.png

jormarysky 2023-01-10 01:50

From graphics to movement to idea to voice acting it is unapologetic jank, and that is good. World needs more these kind of games.

zonoxx 2023-01-10 07:41

@phillip-scott Thank you for making us aware of this. There seems to be an issue with the WebGL version that crashes the game at around 10200 points. I will try to fix this tonight, in the meantime please use the standalone version.

Also, thank you everyone for taking the time to play and and give feedback on our game, it means a lot to us!

zonoxx 2023-01-10 19:35

@phillip-scott The bug is fixed, game should not crash anymore. Its also embedded directly on the site now as well. Let me know how high you can score ;)

So cute! I really like this, the colour coordination for different enemy types was super useful and when everything went double it was so fun. I like the tank and plane graphics and the wheat works well even if its more simple, its still nice to look at. Great game well done :)

greenphox 2023-01-10 21:01

If anyone asks the definition of "innovation" I'll just send them this game. It is a game called "TanksGiving" you control a tank that harvests yield and shoots airplanes down. It is by far the most unique idea and my favorite so far, just amazing. The implementation is also very good, the controls are smooth and everything works fine. Well done!

zonoxx 2023-01-10 21:19

@phillip-scott Holy moly, I think you beat my personal best. Well done!

zonoxx 2023-01-10 21:21

@greenphox and @whalejam Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to play the game!

stefan-laimer 2023-01-11 07:24

Really fun game! I especially liked the way the difficulty ramps up every time you clear the field.

Cute little game, good for a coffee break. I'd say it would require upgrades and more additional features, but the base is solid and the loop feels good. Besides that graphics were decent and pleasant to look at! I'd love an stronger effect when you lose an life though, so I'd notice. Difficulty could be ramped up at start a bit too perhaps as before the double it was too easy to just even evade the turkeys without any shooting going on. The audio while looping still felt quite good to the ears

Overall a solid & fun entry!

devin-bulut 2023-01-11 09:37

Simple yet very fun game, nicely done, definitely need a leaderboard :)

harlow 2023-01-11 09:41

A fun lil game! I enjoyed the difficulty ramp up, and as you've said above, that Upgrade shop would have been really cool for this game (was gonna be my main feedback but I read that was planned!) Overall I had a fun time! :)

zonoxx 2023-01-11 10:03

@harlow Thank you very much for your feedback and yes, sadly we were not able to get the upgrades to a point were it made sense to implement them.

deathbysnail 2023-01-12 13:24

Well done, great job for your first game! Love the bird planes and te tank design

witchgf 2023-01-12 14:18

The tank is kinda sus, ngl

paconedved 2023-01-13 20:32

Great entry, I really liked the voice acting and the background was really pleasant. The game starts off quite slow and eases you into it. When the double everything part starts that's when things get a bit challenging. especially with the blue targeting turkeys. Had fun playing the game, good job!

thomasward 2023-01-13 20:55

I got 20575 harvest points. Died some time after the "double everything" kicked in. Simple, fun and funny game. If I were to change something, I'd make the tank run a bit faster. Also, make proper animations for the tank and maybe one-two more types of enemies. But it's just me complaining -- the game is good, so don't worry. :D

dimesto52 2023-01-23 17:28

the resolution in html mode is much too large and is even annoying

psv-games-studio 2023-01-26 20:05

Fun game! The graphics are beautiful, the music matches the gameplay, I liked the voice at the beginning and the concept of the game. Good work!
