Fun game and idea! At first I was thinking it was pretty easy, but the later levels got pretty tough. Great work!

soonthespoon 2023-01-09 13:39

Some nice and unique ideas. Good job!

kromeboy 2023-01-09 16:12

Fairly easy but a nice idea. Great Work!

The best interpetation of the theme I have seen so far! Love it! Some feedback I have got:

- The words were a bit too hard to read while it was moving. Maybe the font could have been a bit clearer for fast moving reading - First I thought there was a penalty to putting the words in the wrong spot, but surprisingly there wasn't! I think the game could have been even more fun if you could somehow put words in the wrong spots. - The graphics and music are very well put together

Wow what a great take on the theme, i loved it. I normally don't struggle finding my words around people, but the nervousness with the bosses almost hitting me on my third try and then starting he last level with half a heart left is perfectly reflecting the mood :joy: Only thing i noticed was that my dash didn't work, i played the html version. But still a great and unique game, good job :thumbsup:

This was a really creative approach to the theme. I do think the enemy AI could have been more varied so some just went back and forth. The rounds would start challenging but then the enemies would end up in a clump chasing me. The game also looks really nice

Pretty polished game. I would only made AI a bit smarter maybe

animatrix1490 2023-01-14 06:13

I made it through it! A cool idea, solidly executed. Good job!

Nice game, solid graphics, sound, and writing. The player character felt a little flat to control with WASD, not sure if it needed some momentum tweaking or if this was just tuned for a thumbstick.

Solid little game. I really enjoyed playing through this.

pikario 2023-01-15 12:18

I had quite of fun ! Great idea ! Last questions are really challenging, it's a great reproduction of the process of "gathering" thoughts and running from intrusive ones :grin:

Maybe I've had a little humor to the questions, it was a very superficial date x)

I laughed at "Kids ? Not on planes" :airplane:

pikario 2023-01-15 12:25

(did you do the music ? as it's a Cantina cover, I assume not ? but maybe I'm wrong)

mika314 2023-01-15 22:27

Relatable problem. Words can be hard. HAHA

pope-paf 2023-01-17 14:11

yai got a second date :D good brain good!

koboldskeep 2023-01-19 02:52

Neat little idea. Would be nice to have a bit more complexity, like having to avoid words that are not in the sentence.

vivyhasadream 2023-01-19 05:23

It's unique take on the theme. everything works together as a whole. I especially like the music. And now, I want to eat tiramisu.. :laughing:

Thanks everyone for taking the time to play and leave feedback for Brain Crops! Really appreciate and humble to hear you enjoyed my game. All your games are awesome and had a lot of fun with them!

For a second I thought would miss LD52, I was struggling with ideas and finding the fun in the game, more so having started 24 hours later.

@kettelcorn Glad you liked it! Level balancing is always tricky.

@soonthespoon Thanks! My mistake is putting ideas prior gameplay and find a way to make it fun.

@kromeboy Thanks! Glad you liked it.

@wouter52 Appreciate your kind words! I tried to keep myself away from the traditional concept of Harvest, maybe I just overthink things. I like the the idea of putting the words in the wrong places! and have it impact your date.

@zluca Thanks! Very happy to hear how you got involved in the game, and how the bosses gave you a run for your second date. Interesting issue about the dash, I will check on it and maybe and can make it have a bigger push.

@ninnec Thanks! Agree that bosses and enemies could have better AI, even pathfinding.

@yogurtthehorse Agree AI could be better.

@animatrix1490 Thanks! Glad you had fun!

@fizzbark Is a good point, in controller feels a bit better, wonder if there is a way to determine if a keyboard is been used and select different values for the movement.

@epicgamefan Nice to hear you liked it!

@pikario I enjoy adding humor in the dialog of the NPCs and sometime throw a curved balls, glad you noticed! About the music, yes, is a Cantina Cover, sadly I didn't made it but add it as a free asset.

@mika314 Absolutely, more so trying to meet someone new.

@pope-paf Great! Glad to hear you made it through! Hope you had fun.

@koboldskeep Nice idea! even having them exploding or chasing you like bad memories. If I made a bigger version of this, I will add it.

@vivyhasadream Thanks for the kind words! And you know.... tiramisu is not a bad idea!

skaaaza 2023-01-27 19:20

Simple and fun game! Good job :)
