Very good surprise here!
Gameplay is simple but nice, controls are ok, visuals are basics but works well (especially the rot, which is disgustingly nice) There even are two endings! QA like autofire are greatly appriciated btw Really had a good time here
Only thing I would have wanted is to know more precisely where my hitbox is, but that's minor
These intro and death scenes are really adding flavors to the game Just wished I could skip them after a few deaths, since they are quite long
Easy to play, fun, innovative, perfect fit with the theme, no crash/bugs ... Omega Good Job!
Maybe the beginning of each run is a bit slow, it becomes boring after several runs, but not a big deal
Pretty nice game, looks similar to the bridge constructor serie That was probably not easy to recreate that sort of concept in such a limited amount of time
The idea of having the crashing trains giving you more resources is interesting and prevent being locked on a level Sadly sometimes you just have to wait for multiple trains to crash before you have enough resources to build anything, and it kind of break the flow of the game imo
Very small experience here, but I love the visuals for some reason :D
I didn't managed to really get things working, but a lot of efforts has been put into this. All the interface, different machines, even a minimal tutorial, etc
Didn't work for me in the end, but a Jam game about automation is probably very ambitious ^^
That's impressive!
Everything is pretty well executed, great job! And I reaaaaaally love the visuals
I think the game would have been better if it was more short but more intense There were not that much things to do to keep the player busy, and the game is a bit too long But the core works! (and the merchant is funny :D)
Thank you @lenan! We had some better SFX in store but didn't had the time to add it to the final build sadly
Thanks @syafire!
That's right, we could definitely use more actions/mechanics for the player, or some minor objectives like a reward for killing a lot of enemies in a single shot. Lack of time as always ^^
Thank you very much @kizu!
And thank you @100th_Coin! Don't worry that's normal, you can't escape the trees eternally anyway :)
Hey, thanks @gamedevalexandr !
Games like Plants vs Zombies was one of our first inspirations so no wonder why it feels similar to a tower defense ^^
Thank you for your feedback @orionhart !
All in-game dialogue are just for context, so you didn't miss any important information, just some puns and a few taunts ^^ Definitely gonna check your own game, just hope your tree is nicer than ours :D
Thank you @kronox! Glad you liked it :D
Thanks for the feedback @ryusui !
The language thing was a team decision Front page etc are in plain English, and as stated in the description, ingame dialogs are just context (mostly puns and taunts). Therefor, you will not miss any important information if you can't read them. But yeah, we totally understand that it can be disturbing since playing games that are not in our mother language is pretty much our daily experience of video games.
So that's why we choose to let the ingame dialog in french, for the few fellow french devs that will play it Sure, French vocals with English subs would have been a good solution to that, but out of scope for our 2 days Jam
We hope you could enjoy Arboressence anyway, and thx again for the feedback :D
A bit repetitive after a time, but good enough to enjoy the ride :) Eating the same color three times in a row seems to do something but I have no idea what "^^
It reminds me a bit of the Plants vs Zombies mini game where you can grow plants and earn money from it, but in a more detailed version. There are some tension whenever you have to cut a branch, I really like that.
Also, about your problem with screen-tearing when building WebGl version, we ran into a similar problem and solved it by downloading an alternative builder here -> https://seansleblanc.itch.io/better-minimal-webgl-template I hope it can help you too!
A bit tidious to play imo, but the concept of saving humanity from earthquakes/etc is pretty cool
