A bit of guidance in game would help a lot I was quite lost when fish decided to sit on my farming land ;D It was a while until I figured out that I can remove fishe and get coins for that.
Once I figured how the game works I had fun there laughting about fishe attacking my weed Game idea is cool.
Interesting concept, kinda hard to understand what's going on with the game though
Hey, congrats on making a sequel game in a new engine in a short amount of time :D
It's cool that I thought of a game concept for this JAM similar to that of your original Shark Barrage, from LD42! Haha ha! Well, this game is a quite simple and charming. It could be more challenging, but it's a nice entry! Good job!
Ahah, I also was not understanding, what should I do with sharks eating my crops:)
I'd suggest adding some tips in the game about that. Also, feedback on click would add so much to the game.
In my opinion, gameplay is too short, I'd like some seed market and some game progression (new sharks, new tools, new seeds, new levels)
This make no sens and I like it :D I love the fact that you just have to buy the victory, very funny. It's very cool to challenge yourself to things you're not comfortable with, all the credit goes to the team !
Oof, by reading the comments I realize that I'm not alone in this. It's not the easiest of games to understand, maybe you could provide a more elaborate tutorial on the game's page? Other than that, nice management game, great entry :)
The game was actually pretty fun, so good job! I had the feeling though that some of the plants actually cost more to plant then they pay back once I harvest them. I did complete the game though whoo!
Got a chuckle out of me the first time a shark flew out of the water and ate a crop. The clicking to remove them just feels really rough though to be honest, did suck the fun out of it a bit. I think if they moved a little faster but one click got rid of them, would have helped a lot. Great job learning a new engine though, its not easy
Some instructions would be great, but pretty neat concept.
Simple but addictive gameplay loop
I love that you turned the veggies into little characters with faces! Reminded me of Deku Scrubs from the N64 Zelda games. The concept is definitely interesting and a bit of a laugh (who doesn't want *Sharknado 7: Land Shark*), but I had the same trouble as most people in terms of figuring out what my options were and how to progress. However, once I reread the game page and saw you could kill sharks by clicking (albeit furiously), the objective started to make more sense. Still, I wasn't sure if I was meant to keep sharks away from the farm or somehow trick them into only eating rotten veggies. The lack of looping music was really distracting, but I'm sure that's an easy fix for Shark Barrage 3!
Nice entry! I feel like the hitboxes for harvesting stuff is way too small and there could be some feedback to the player when they are hitting a shark. I also really liked the music!
Cool game. Its always fun making a sequel to something you did before for a jam, so nice work!
