ahaha wow! I had this bug where the truck just exploded and I saw the wheels leave alone. That was a nice run!

ahaha wow! I had this bug where the truck just exploded and I saw the wheels leave alone. That was a nice run!
any game I can go offroad and explore is a good game in my book :D I just hoped that you would get kick back like Motocross Madness!
nice concept, I wasn't able to select the second shape on the 3rd level and I got the completion screen at start!
I'm still dizzy! ;) It has good potential, fitting the cube in holes was nice!
Audio was really nice, it was all so soothing even though I was wrecking ennemies!
man, dieing is so scary, I jumped everytime with the sound lol
Gameplay is solid, nice shoot 'em up!
Puzzle were nice and quiet challenging!
nice mecanic!
The flying animation is really fun!
I'll be honest, I liked the mood and the little story going on, but I was totally lost when in the level. Once, I won(?) and it brought me back to the chapter 1 story. Graphics we also nice!
I think the download is broken :/
lol, I was able to go all Mario Warp Zone style, but no warzone! Nice audio!
cool little game, can see this "loop" being fun if you added combos and stuff. Special asteroids, abilities, etc. Good job overall!
I can see some mini metro influence with the randomized spawn. Great graphics and the aesthetics are coherent! I'd play a full featured game of this for sure! Thanks!!
No vote for audio, but the song was kinda moody and cool. Pretty good loop indeed and the graphics are top notch! I liked upgrading stuff and seeing new models appear. Great job!
Fun little twin stick shooter. I laughed when I saw a trumpet attack. Music was cool.
The google drive link expired.
Great thinking about the recording! It's hard to do without seeing, but it's fun to see your character succeed a good combo. Great platforming mechanics too. Graphics and aesthetics are over the top, you did great. Would be nice to have a kind of hybrid where you can see some times, and other time you can. Also, it's nice to have included a way to just go to any level.
Cool mechanics! Hardest puzzle was figuring out I had to click PLAY to play xD
Wow! Great job on everything. The game is smooth, the audio is really good and the arts are amazing! I would have like to keep guns or press a key to switch as there were weapons really better than others. But, overall you guys a really great game in such a small time! Keep it up
This is a fantastic effort! The music is most excellent. The tone is set right away and it gets really interesting. I only wish that the text would stay up because I didn't fully understand what to do at first and had to go back so I could look for clues aha. Grats for the team, keep it up!
took me a while to understand that bullets are actually projectiles aha. I liked that mobs followed you on the next level.
Visuals and audio are pretty up there. Sometimes the hitbox would feel weird but overall I feel like I should have moved more.
First, the animations are stellar! Good job doing that! The perspective is rather confusing though and it makes it hard to avoid rocks and jump on platform.
Really solid entry. I love the music; was it made with a tracker? Sounds like old tracker music from the 90s. Anyway, bonus point for the menus and espacially a11y settings.
The only way to "die" it to have the field filled with weedsÂ. I haven't really balanced stuff, so you may become overpowered to the point weeds can't take over depending on what upgrades you get.
To anyone that care, I updated the game to address some of the feedback I received here and some from other friends. I also added a lot of new features to tests. Feedback appreciated!

Audio and graphics are pretty. If you get the big flail upgrade, you can just stand on your flail and never get hit.
Like others said, the camera and mouse sensivity what a bit out of control and lag issues happened near the end, but I still was able to complete and win the game! The environment feels nice and the music is good! I wish the game wasn't one shot kill, especialy as I didn't know crops would start to attack me lol. I liked the shooting and the death animation was pretty nice. Good job overall!
I really tried hard to figure out who to sacrifice for a good 30 minutes without any luck. I even tried to "brute force" some names in there, but the lack of any form of feedback made trying or understanding what to do really hard. Also, font isn't the best in the sacrifice screen as names are hard to read. Music was really simple but somehow catchy! I liked the art of the characters too. I don't think this is a bad entry though, I'm bookmarking this and coming back to see if I can figure it out later!
Good execution. I'd swap the spacebar / enter to continue for either a click or a click on an "end turn" button since the mouse is used all the time.
What's not to like! And f these crows for real... Great job overall, camera should show more in front of the car depending on direction, because going down you don't see much.
I salute the effort for the tutorial. One thing I'd suggest is to have the camera follow the player or put interact on a key like E or spacebar. Otherwise, that's the foundation for a good crisis management game!
Ok, I didn't expect the ending. That was funny as hell lol
Can't start game, OpenAL32.dll was not found. (fixed it by downloading openal installer). I can listen to Tim cussing at me because I throw balls to his car ;)
Couldn't play, with or without sound, I got this error in console:
haxe_ValueException {message: "Resource file not found 'bg.png'", __previousException: undefined, __nativeException: haxe_ValueException, value: hxd_fs_NotFound}
Yuri: It's not ok to do drugs in this cell.
Yuri takes some drugs to calm himself down.
Pretty funny ahaha. I'm not sure if the game crashed of if I won? I was trying to getting everyone XD status, and I think I got it but the app closed immediately.
Tried to play on MacOS, but it doesn't seem to be able to start the app. I see it opening (like a blackscreen) and it closes immediately. Not sure if there's a log file or something I can check to help. Sorry I couldn't play.
As far as math goes, this was a pretty clever use of literal math. The out of bound mechanic requires a bit of thinking. Nice teaching game.
Music was pretty good I must say.
Anxiety simulator.
While it's very real that I felt really anxious during this, the atmosphere, sounds and story was really immersive. Really reminiscent of games like Gone Home and the likes, the walking speed and limited actions (well, move and look) are effective.
I liked how the messages were delivered, and I agree with the other commenter about the pacing; it helps selling the narrative.
Great job overall, I'll admit I was afraid of a jump scare the whole time, but it wasn't that bad, a really soft alarm sound.
Thanks for the suggestions. I added a new screenshot and a cover image! Cheers
@daria-toni Sad to hear :( I added a note to use arrow keys to move, I don't know if that could be your issue? Otherwise, the only thing I can think of is maybe that your keyboard layout may not be compatible. Hope it helps!
double message, can't delete :(
Liked overall look of the game. I like how you connect stuff up, I bet it was your intention, but having the cable follow the character while dragging would have really help understand the mechanic better at first. I also liked the idea behind switch characters so you could have a connection puzzle with the girl character, and maybe a platforming puzzle to gather all the coin with the frog (which was really really cute by the way).
Nice game, reminds me of the kingdom series. You really have to figure out a build order at the start and then you start ramping up. More sounds would have been nice, but can't have it all in a jam!
I had to stop cause it become clear you have to grind it out, but I really liked what I saw here. Should have a third speed settings XD.
The upgrade system is well balanced I think, at first I kinda ignored the slimes in favor of the bigger strong units, but I had to go back and get more soakers, and overall dps.
I could definitely see this as a reverse tower defense roguelike. The active skills add a much needed strategy layer.
I don't see the graphic category in the voting section, but I thought the modeling was pretty nice! One thing though, I didn't get any result screen, the game just closed (I did the basement, then got up toward the staircase and the game just ended).
Anyway, I like me a good ol' rail fps, one of my favorite game has to be Deadspace Extractor on Wii. It could have been a little bit harder, maybe add a "civilian" pop out where you loose point if you shoot/kill them. Overall, it's simple but seems to works flawlessly.
Fun game, the gravity effect is well implemented. Objects are fun to place, but don't seem to do much. Still a nice touch. Graphics are really good and sounds are on point. Love the Beach Boys Kokomo reference in the music ;)
omg this is stressful. Really liked the ambiance and scale. I didn't realise this is your nose and whiskers lol, at first I thought you were a spider or something aha. Great jam
nice idea. liked it!
aha, this is fun! the song is good also.
