Like the concept, great use of the themes and the visual style is pretty nice too, if a little hard to read at times. Overall though, I like what I've been able to play.
Unfortunately that isn't much as I kept getting fatal crashes.
Nice visual style, simple looking games but pretty tricky. Kept me playing :) Nice job.
Simple concept, but really nice looking and sounding game and fun to boot :)
Great job!
Nice looking game... if only I could play it. I'm just not fast enough to get the required Morse code. Even the 'post-compo easy' version was difficult :(
Nice audio and visuals and a nice concept, great job
Great game, loved playing it. My only complaint... instadeath! Would be nice to have some sort of shield/life scenario, having to restart for a minor electric shock is a little irritating. Other than that though, great effort really enjoyed playing it :)
Nice simple game and good use of the theme. The camera movement definitely makes it trickier. Just a shame it's not that long (or am I just shockingly bad at playing it?), I was left wanting more :)
Too dam hard for me, but I had fun trying :)
Thanks for the comments.
The idea is to grow apples... feed the tree using the bugs and in the spring, flowers will grow. The bees fly past and pollinate them. There should be more to that but right now you just let them fly past them. Then when the season changes to summer, the pollinated flowers turn into apples. You click the apple to hide it (they only stay hidden a while, so get your timing right) when a wasp flies by. If you don't, the wasp eats it. At the end of autumn, if you've got apples left on the tree, it levels up to grow more apples.
Hope that helps :)
@SpiritJZL - Yes, collision detection is somewhat bad at the moment and there seems to be a glitch that fills beetles up even if there is nothing there.
@Silvio - I'd be interested if you could send me the log file (check out my blog for my contact details or message me on Twitter).
@tyrants.not.found.team - The font is '8-bit limit' and it's available free for commercial use from 1001fonts.com. If the cursor moved underground it would be too easy to line up your beetles... keeping it above ground makes it a little trickier. If the control hints at the bottom of the screen show beetles, you can click to create them.
Thanks for all the feedback thus far :)
Controls are a bit tricky to get used to, but once you do this is a great game.
Nice retro feel time eater. Great job. Now... one more go... one more go...
Fits the theme well, but as others have mentioned the economic model means you seem to spend quite a bit of time just waiting.
The lack of a goal and/or some other influence that affects the world limits the appeal for me. But it is a great effort and has potential.
Great use of the theme. Loved it :)
Infuriatingly difficult at times, but brilliant. Love it :)
An all round nice game that's fun to play. Great job!
Fun idea, just too difficult to control when it came to junctions.
Great little game with great potential. Good job.
Had a few problems with some ants getting stuck though, poor little critters :(
Great game. Nice visuals, nice audio and challenging puzzles. Love it.
Great game :) Really fun to play
Overall a great little game, I just struggled with the control scheme which may it somewhat less fun to play.
Great job. Interesting concept, just wish it had been a bit trickier :)
Overall, I like it, just a shame about the controls being a bit tricky and the sound volume being too high. Other than that, great job.
Nice simple, polished game. Great job.
I appreciate difficulty in games, but not as soon as I step foot into them. Try as I might, I couldn't get past the first level.
Not a bad little game, good effort.
A great little game, but my fun was curtailed by the frequency I ended up with unbeatable situations. Get the tractor spacing right and it would be so much more fun.
Great game, nice job!
Nice cross between two classic games, and as others have said the controls were pretty darn good. Shame I just got greedy and kept eating my tail :) Excellent job.
Had problems with being unable to click the GUI buttons (play etc.). Nice style though, interesting idea, just not enough content... I wanted more :)
I'd just like to know how the items that fell into the room related to the content? I couldn't figure out a link.
Nice retro styling, unfortunately I just didn't get it. I get the concept, but the mechanics just aren't clear and I couldn't figure them out by trying to play it.
Possibly the best game I've played from this competition. Very polished, very funny... just great :)
Nice little game, simple but it kept me playing a while :)
Great effort, I'd echo what others have said about the collisions.
Didn't like the installer, but I liked the game concept. It was a little on the slow side especially early on when the growth isn't so obvious and you could add some variety to mix the game play up a little.
Probably the best game I've played so far. Amazing job :)
Fun little game with a nice mix of the themes :)
Nice and simple, kept me playing. Music was nice and the physics were great. Excellent fit with the theme. Nice :)
Nice concept, once I actually read the instructions it all became clear :) Nice take on the theme.
Great game, kept me coming back for more :)
I can't play this, it's still giving the same error with the network :-(
