@polinachrr Thank you! My bad for not including instructions, put some basic ones on the jam page right now.
I love it! As a fellow user of mouth sounds as sound effects I appreciate the creativity and the willingness to get on a mic and go "Omm nomm nomm" which I am sure depending on you constitution was either hell to edit or just plain uncomfortable lol. A nice simple game I figured out what I was suppose to do no problem so I would say you achieved the goal of making something easy to understand and get into. I am not a real score chaser type person, but the charming artwork kept me playing for longer than I normally do.
Awesome game! it's like this machines that you can control to get a toy, but actually catching something! really fun. I could see it having more levels with more constrains or different types of crops.
And the sound is incredible, thanks for this!
@theseusinabottle Haha thank you so much for playing and the kind words 😄. I used to always make sounds and music with my mouth for my first games so I've gotten used to it but the older I get the worse it becomes 😅😅.
@mariavalcam Thank you for playing and I appreciate it, I'd love to add more things to the games to spice it up but I decided to play it safe and keep the scope really small.
I must say that this is very original and I dig it! Sound effects are great, fun touch.
Good job!
Wasn't sure what to expect, but I have to say this really came together very well. The art & music play together perfectly, great game entry!
@vrerabek Thank you for playing! Was hoping people would find the humor in the sound effects 😁
@joey-shipley Hope your expectations were met 😅😅 Thank you for playing!
The art style is incredibly cool and I would love to see more games look like this.
What an awesome game!! I really loved the music and the art style :smile: Gameplay was fun but got really hard after a few levels - would be nice if there was a way to restore health so I could continue playing for longer. It's a mystery why the farmers grow out of the ground looking like corn at first :laughing:
Great game! Think I've never played a game with totally hand-drawn art before and it was totally charming. Level of completeness was impressive including the fact you had sound. My main suggestion would be that the spacebar dive command felt a little off in terms of responsivess/feel. The left/right control felt just right though.
Graphics + Audio = ❤️ Simple yet fun mechanic, I enjoyed it! 🙂
Very nice work on the graphics, they sure do stick out here! Nice & simple game that could be expanded a bit more with some upgrades or other additional types of things to grab that would interact differently with you. The audio was really good too! Splendid overall work~
I consider myself an ebic gamer. That's why I am very proud of myself for achieving this epic score. Screenshot 2023-01-13 104846.png. Games like these are the ideal ldjam entries. They are short and easy to experience. That is simple at heart, but still a lot of fun, and they are just filled to the brim with love for the craft. This is great.
the audio and art was amazing! Gameplay was a bit lacking but still fun nonetheless :)
I love the artstyle and audio, it's really cool, i feel like though maybe the crow should dive faster? way too many times i had that i was diving for a corn, and a scarecrow spawned while i was diving for it and i got the scarecrow instead
"ohnononono" realy loved the sound effect haha ! the paper style fit realy nicely and the game itself is very polish. the next step would be to be able to move the bird while going down and maybe catch more than one thing at the same time
Hahaa, the audio is spectacular 😂. Love the graphics too. Simple concept but fun. Unfortunately after a while is starts to be repetitive, I'd like more if the difficulty increases over time.
Simple but effective aethetics, hand drawing sprites and recorded voice SFX combined together and brought it a harmonic vibe. Really cool!
Mechanics is neat, simple, and fun. Enjoyed your game!
I love the artstyle, and it is a funny take on the theme. It is a bit frustrating, that you can pick up people/crops that are just growing, sometimes a human just chose to grow right were I was landing. Overall this is a fun game though and as I said before, it is super fun to look at! Well done!
The audio is so funny, it made me enjoy the game so much more! I loved the simplicity in this one.
I gave the graphics a 5, since the hand-drawn cutout approach to the 2D graphics seems strangely appropriate for this game.
Well made game. I think you did a really good job of making the art feel alive. Even though most of the animations were just one drawing moving around I thought it was very effective and I liked the style a lot. The gameplay was well implemented and the controls were really good but I didn't feel like it had much replayability because at some point there are just too many things running around at the bottom of the screen and it comes down to luck whether you get a human or a corn. I think maybe it would have been better if they ran off of the screen at some point so that it's not just an ever increasing number of spawns. The audio was funny and had a lot of personality.
@petersanford Thank you for playing! It was definitely fun doing the art for this so I'll see if I'll ever do something like this again.
@matank Thank you for playing! Agree with the health, I was thinking of adding some power ups dropping from the sky to help you but forced myself to keep it really simple.
@algo-baker Thanks for playing! I think the spacebar responsiveness is because of the easing in the animation if imma take a wild guess, could've probably made it snappier but at least it's accurate to how slow claw machines are 😅😅 Happy you enjoyed it though.
@aduermael Thank you and thanks for playing!
@svenerik Thank you for playing! Glad you like the audio, wanted to make the entire game have that hand made feel if that makes sense!
@j0ye Thanks for playing! That score is definitely an epic high score!
@mrchickenboy Thank you for playing! Gameplay gets a bit stale after a while I agree, had very little scope for this jam to make sure it felt complete.
@noeloskar Haha thanks for playing! Maybe the dive should be faster, I probably just got so used to it myself I never thought to experiment with the speed, glad you like it though!
@grotfang Thank you for playing! I originally had the crow be able to move while diving but I decided to stop it from moving to make it a bit more difficult so you'd have to time it more, but could 100% be a power up that lets you move.
@richard-jedlicka Thanks for playing! I 100% get that, not that exciting after you've caught a couple of corn. Happy you like the sounds though!
@jfeeefl Thanks for the kind words and for playing! Really made sure to have fun with every aspect of development, glad it paid off :)
@andidebob Thank you for playing! Really didn't know you could pick them up while they're growing, but none the less thank you for the kind words!
@hulya Thanks for playing! I'm glad to hear my homemade audio made it more enjoyable!
@moonlightbomber Thank you for playing! Thanks for the rating as well, glad you found it enjoyable!
@starboihooch Thanks for playing! Glad you liked the art and animations, I see that the replayability is pretty small, was focusing a lot on finishing and keeping the scope tiny.
Very nice mini game with fancy visuals and audio, heh! Good job
Nice drawings - audio is funny too image_2023-01-14_111504063.png
With the full refresh that happens after a while the difficulty resets - so it could be easy to game to get a high score by just waiting and getting some of the easier ones. but its a fun type of mini game as others have said well done!
@yogurtthehorse Thank you! Glad you like it.
@phillip-scott Happy you like the drawing and audio! The full reset was a last second feature I added because after a while the entire bottom filled up with crops and it was basically a gamble if you get a corn or a scarecrow, very lazy solution but it works :sweat_smile:
Simple but efficient gameplay, this is what I call a hand made game ! :) I had fun playing it ! Well done !
Very fun and cute little game! Just a simple but enjoyable gameplay loop, and some lovely art and sound effects.
Good job!
Nice game, easy to understand. I love the scribble-like graphics.
Efficient gameplay, i love the paper-like graphics it spread a good vibe while playin' Congratulations !
Nice small game. Lovely graphics and funny sound effects. The crow moves smooth and makes a satisfying 'nom nom' sound when eating. I thought the swap-to-the-other-side movement of the crow was a nice touch as well. Gets a little repetitive after a while, but it's nice that every now and then the screen clears of all those pesky humans. Well done.
Love the art! love the music! A really great entry!
Cute gameplay, loved the paper art and the mouthed sfx!
Cool artstyle, it fits the game so well!! this would be great as a mobile app, great for time on the throne!
A pretty simple pleasure. I really liked the art and sound. The game loop was pretty straightforward but challenging none the less. Neat entry.
nice :D awesome sound and graphics! This is the perfect example of how anyone can make a game without any advanced tools!
Congrats, this is really creative art+sound wise! And i see its your first time doing it so it makes it even better in a way! :)) Add an explanation when the field restarts, add a scoreboard, and since im guessing you made it in unity just add 3 buttons to move and this is a great little phone game that i would enjoy playing from time to time! Or even a cool precision mode where you give the player 1hp and always spawn 1 corn and 1 scarecrow each time the player eats, so that the scarecrows keep stacking until you miss once! Great entry and good luck! :D
