oops the l looks like a I in the post the L key would be how you go to the next room also the game takes the direction your going in (up down left right) if you are going in two direction before you enter the room it does some weird stuff
fun game, seeing a bunch of characters help shoot looked really cool, the art was really cool, it would be cool if there was a way to see what stage you got to. Good game. :)
Cool art, the racing was pretty interesting, the competitiveness main it fun. Nice Game :)
The game felt pretty unique to me cool game :)
very cool looking game, everything fit nice together, the speed things were cool, I think the Graphics stood out to me the most, can't give much criticism, embed didn't load but the itch link worked. :)
The voxel stuff is really cool it reminds me of a old game called Cube World. Nice Game :)
The audio was a essential part done really well, I enjoyed running around and the straightforwardness of the game. I had a lot of fun playing it. ty :)
It was a cool game, maybe levels before health packs, Graphics were good. :)
The graphics were cool, the node graph looks cool on the map when you build your city, I had fun. :)
The audio was really great. Enjoyable to play and funny. ty :)
The way you had the player start the game by playing the game was clever. It was a fun game and had cool sounds. ty :)
very fun game got 23 minutes in would have liked it to keep giving upgrades even though it might be difficult to balance but it would be better than after 10 minutes, try to see when you make a silly mistake. well done :)
The mechanics were pretty cool didn't know how to hover there for a second. Nice Game :)
I did play another platformer with swapping tiles, but this game was fun, ty :)
The art was really good, it was a fun and interesting game to go through, also the small sound fx were good. :)
upgraded everything, was a little difficult at the start because I didn't read much but after I noticed q to fix walls the start got easier then it just went on a infinite loop. The part I like the most was the idea of switch between two characters to do different task, fun game! If I had to give a piece of criticism, it might be the left character can just get the same gold chest over again. If the character also had to get wood for repairs that would improve the left character. But I know I can't fit every idea I have in my own games. :) fun game!
got to 30 fire, but I think I'm too tired to figure anything out past that, the art was cool, the sounds are cool, good game :)
@ninjavitis, Do you use a non-qwerty Do you use a non-qwerty layout through software? I used to use dvorak on windows through keyboard settings, and a few commands on linux, which used to allow me to hotkey swap back to qwerty if I needed to play a game using wasd. Now my keyboard is qmk compatiable so no software needed for layouts and layout switching but either works. The problem is the qwerty layout was hardcoded. One idea I had was the ability to set your own keybinds in the settings menu, but the problem is I intentionally didn't want to do that because you can set the g and h keys to something easier like space and another thumb key. I made the decision early on that the location of the g and h keys was significant in the simulation of being a snail. Another idea I had which I would probably do next time is hardcoding a few popular layouts like dvorak and colmak since the location of the keys was important, or maybe importing a list of layouts. When I was thinking about this during the jam I didn't see and still don't see a way where a non-qwerty layout user can't temporarily switch to qwerty when playing ludum dare games, as I do and did during testing. So I decided to take that hit and prioritize other things. But I did give another game a criticism of not being alt layout friendly, The situation might not have applied because it required familiarity with where keys on qwerty were. It was about a goldfish and I struggled because qwop was the controls which would swap and change requiring you to have familiarity with the layout itself. I don't think this applies to my game because from my understanding the difference would be when starting my game you would just need to read about how the position of the keys relate to the controls. An example of position relating to controls: wasd being directional where W is above S and D is to the right of A rather than needing to know how to type W A S in qwerty. I will try to think of a good solution. Currently I would probably import a ton of selectable popular layouts next time.
I like the art, the game although simple in it's mechanics it was a good well rounded game. :)
I guess the game won.
Good all around game, the soundfx were good, the art looked cool. Nice :)
super fun game, I think I got 5000 Au and I was moving super fast. There is a lot to keep track of when there is only ten seconds, and you have to decide what you need next. Great Game, super fun :)
Good well rounded game, with interesting mechanics and audio. Well done :)
The music starts and stops are cool, the extra noises are interesting, the cubes look nice. :)
I feel like a quick addition that would have been cool would be w also being jump, It was a fun game ty :)
nice game, well-rounded platformer that fits with the theme. :)
nice game, you had a interesting concept, good first try :)
I think I have 6 items left, the game was really fun, I like the art, music, and humor. The amount of unique items was cool. :)
super cool, nice leader board got 20 boxes, the graphics where cool, the game fits with the theme well. I think if you get a tall tower and knock the top off going fast into the wall you might not lose a life but I didn't try that. Great Game :)
I liked the art, ty for the fun game :)
Cool art, my eyes are spinning to right themselves. Nice game :)
cool game, got 426, it felt like minesweeper but a bit more fun and active maybe? Not sure if it was intentional or not but it seems like the easiest way to play is to intentionally let carrot bombs explode in one side of the map or corners so you have less of a area where they can spawn.
This game was incredibly fun, I can definitely see clearly why certain decisions were made like at first the new plot button I didn't even think about(playing while tired) but It wouldn't make sense to create 12 plot buttons to format in the same way as the other buttons, so I have no critique, perfect game great scope :)
I really enjoyed playing this game, I liked your tutorial, for some reason maybe it was because I'm a bit sleepy, I didn't think to scroll to get the seed bag then right click because I was in reading mode and saw right click to open seed bag but the seed bag wasn't selected, but even while sleepy I found everything super intuitive and the amount of content was pretty cool, especially with upgraded versions of stuff. The progression felt great aswell with a single playthrough I didn't feel as if anything took to long to get or complete. ty for the game :)
I got to 11, didn't really know how I did it though, I kind of understood but could figure out food very well, I looked through the code and figure out the third icon was meant to be Fertilizer but Couldn't figure out much, I'm guessing it got used as food was made automatically. Cool idea though! :)
I enjoyed playing I didn't get to 9000 only 2000 I feel like the hammer should pass into the next season because it doesn't seem very useful because it's 300 every season and it seems quicker to just plant 15 potatoes and spam sleep into the next season and not buy a hammer and more seeds. I had a a lot of fun very cool game. :)
great game, while playing I couldn't come up with something that would be a easy change but clear upgrade, maybe cause I don't play these types of games personally. I really like the length of the game, not too long or short, I like the movement, it felt nice. I think I liked how easy it was to get into. :)
I really like the mechanic, I figured out pretty late that you can go back and forth without much worry, the art was really good. I had fun ty :)
It was a good game, didn't have to be complex to be fun or cool looking. The interaction between crops was interesting. The red was fun to make patterns with. :)
thanks was fun, a little glitchy at the start but I completed the game, I like the way the dash was implemented. :)
662, cool game I think it glitched out a bit when I filled in 2 3x3s at the same time and 3 plants got cleared in a row instead of a 3x3 square and then for some reason I could still pickup the plant I placed down and it broke I couldn't put it back in its spot and both plants (it was a 2x1) has a green box on it, I really liked the game, I'm not very good at tetris, I'm not sure if you are trying to stray away from tetris a bit, but I would have like rotation. cool game though :)
I collected 229 wheat, survived for 54 seconds, and then I failed the bird exam, for a total score of 3038!, cool game I really like the movement mechanics, It seemed pretty hard with the frog's reach since they are pretty spread out at the start after the frog hops I could avoid the tongue by going to the end of the map but I think 3000 is my limit, good game!
@leggy sorry ngl I don't remember what tr stood for, I don't see a line number although I think I know where it is, I can't replicate it :(, I added a single line that might fix it though and uploaded a zip and installer. not set before reading it means I forgot to set a variable to 0, or false or something. super sorry
@fluburbio @dob @gurkenlabs sorry about late response, One thing I know to prioritize is making a tutorial but I really wanted to make the mechanics of my idea work, a simple thing I should have done was mention the platformer controls in the post but It didn't cross my mind, you can gain more than 1 wheat from harvesting it I didn't want it to double everytime since I wanted the player to harvest a small area and not have to walk a great distance so I made it give you 1 and there is a 2 out of 10 chance to get a second and if you do it makes a sound, I should have make the chance higher and been clear about how long it takes to get to the third stage, as for the maze I'm not sure if the gravity made you not jump at all but I think I should have quickly made w jump aswell along with space, or maybe the wall jumping/climbing should have been mentioned, also the sounds are pretty quiet I think? I tried to add them where they make sense. Also more sounds is a must for me next time. Also I wouldn't know off the top of my head what was wrong if the player pressed c and the clock didn't appear, since that never happened in my testing. what you have to press was mentioned in the post cause I knew that would be impossible to figure out. I think also I should have saved the projectile mechanic for something else since maybe a better first experience > the mechanics I came up with, if I think about it in a game jam way. This response is a little long so I'll leave it at that. Thank you for the feedback I really appreciate it. :)
@lizelive not really sure what to put in the readme file, those json yy files are automatically created by game maker studio 2
Incredible game, I really like idle games, Everything was pretty intuitive and easy and fun to get going, the progression was well done, only thing I can think of is maybe raising the price of items on the second planet just a tiny bit, the art was really good, and I noticed and liked the tiny touch of the shop not appearing right away until you get started selling plants, great project!
I really like cookie clicker so I liked clicky a bunch especially since I am a bit tired while playing this game, cool game :)
Cool game, figured out healing is the best option since increasing harvest time doesn't affect the time significantly, I had fun ty :)
I really liked the game, what helped me last longer was instead of slowing clicking and growing 2 more segments if I triple clicked 3 segments would come out of the same spot instead of 2, probably not intentional. I do feel like a extra segment or a bit more health on the chompers making the game last a little longer would be a quick fix and more fun, but maybe shorter progression could be the way to go, very cool game :)
I survived a bit more than 7 mins the slime animation was cool the music fit good game :)
solid all around game, from start to finish it flowed nicely and I wasn't lost, the music fit, not really sure what to critique to be honest, great game :)
The game was really good, I liked the art and the map was pretty interesting :)
really good art. I tried thinking of critiques but the game is well scoped, no glaring problems. One thing I do want to mention just in case and for future reference if you want in gms2 cog wheel on left > Windows > Graphics, there are two options Allow fullscreen switching and Allow window resize. it was really easy to get going and I didn't get confused. I had a lot of fun :)
cool game, I got lucky i think and got just under 23 some how, didn't hit the car at the start. fun game :)
really good game the pigs bobbing up and down was funny I had no problems, intuitive controls, cleanly beat the game I had a lot of fun thanks :)
nice, I'm not really a great artist myself so it was cool to click through :)
pretty good game I got to 94 a few tries in but 109 seems difficult hopefully I didn't miss anything, it was fun to move around. :)
super well made game it was good that you added the control on the screen cause I probably would have forgot in the early stages it made it so I was able to start playing and progress quickly The boss at the end was fun, I liked how I got used to playing and felt prepared to take on the boss aka I wasn't thrown off or struggled cause I had gotten used to the mechanics good scope I don't have much to critique nice game :)
pretty good game, I'm not a fan of tower defense but it was satisfying to play. :)
I thought the audio matched well the game. Putting time into making sure the controls feel good and if the game allows it, simple. I tend to struggle we this because I probably tend to have a preference. I think any in-built initial hint or tutorial goes a long way for me personally, but even with my own games time restricts me. the story concept was funny, the art was nice to look at, very good game :)
solid game, the first screen tutorial thing was cool, it was pretty satisfying to place stuff down. :)
this is my favorite game definitely should polish and continue a bit a work what a amazing game! :)
I won, cool game It was pretty fun to play. :)
fun game I think the tree texture are a tiny bit out of place, maybe snowy top or move the mountain down and have them in the background instead of the foreground? but I like trying something new so just a thought I had a lot of fun, good game :)
cool orbit mechanic, good simple game
really fun game I got two silvers and beat 1 dev time on the last level and I'll probably come back later not sure if just me but I think the audio might have had a tiny bit more white noise than necessary I really like the concept and I think this would be a good game to contiune working on good game :)
good art work the mechanics felt nice the level design was good, aka I wasn't lost and smoothly progressed through the entire game good game :)
very good game. well scoped so not a lot of critique. music fit well . my eyes at the end :( you managed to fit a lot of interesting ideas into the game like red light green light and the frogger?(never played) level with the wood planks It was pretty fun :)
This was a very good game I liked the pixel art and the game concept was fun to play and interesting, there might be a bug though I passed level 5 I think it was and it jumped to level 7 after level 6 was on screen then my character and buildings seemed to have been teleported out side of the map top left (I was able to shoot to tell where I was) really fun game though :)
the art work is really good a good scope so not much I can think of to add reminds me of 60 seconds which I really liked good game :)
This game was really good I really like the low poly textures and along with the mood it reminded me of presentable liberty which is pretty crazy that you managed to spark that mood and interesting aesthetic in a short amount of time, thanks for making something cool!
