TOO EASY <3 Epic game!!!
Really great concept, probably my favorite LD50 game so far. Shooting pieces felt super good and the puzzle aspect kept me engaged for a long time! This is an incredible submission for just 72 hours, so I’m gonna give some critical feedback because I feel like the game is already so great! - I found the pixel font hard to read - The initial volume is way too loud - I couldn’t turn off fullscreen (an option for borderless windowed would be amazing). This was fixed after restarting. - Once you are facing the King 1v1 and are pretty much guaranteed to win so I think the game should just end so you aren’t mindlessly moving around collecting shells. - Maybe I just don’t get it, but the mechanism for moving into an instant loss seems inconsistent to me.
Love the meta aspect, but with I knew how to restart haha.
Took me a sec to understand, but I ended up liking it. Would be nice to have more animations/visual cues!
I really liked the concept of your health bar ticking down as a means for both the theme and putting some time pressure on the player! Obviously would be better with more content like weapons and found upgrades :).
I really liked it. Simple, but fun!
Thanks for your great feedback everyone! Balance is definitely our top area for improvement.
Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. It makes us really happy to see people enjoying it! We just pushed a minor update to v1.1 that will hopefully once and for all keep cabbages from going to $0 (or at least make it super rare).
I never knew I liked the cookie clicker genre until I played this. Seriously incredible in every way. Graphics? Check. Gameplay? Check. Upgrades? Check. Clicking? Check.
This was a lot of fun! I liked the graphics and I'm always a fan of physics type games.
Incredible! Not much more to say. Love the visuals. Love the idea.
Nice game! I wish the card mechanic was more in depth.
Really cool and innovative casting mechanic!
Super fun! Some suggestions are to make the bullet firing/impacts have sounds and a "feel" to them. Also, the boss having a health bar would be great.
This was great and definitely agree with all the positive feedback given above. My one complaint was that it was hard to tell how much time I had left.
Loved the chaos and good AI drivers. It might be worth it to turn down the amount of other cars just for the sake of performance.
As a fellow Dave, this was very relatable. Really like story driven changes to gameplay!
I really like the Harvest Moon concept and your aesthetic. Looking forward to the game being more fleshed out because I wasn't really sure what to do.
I liked the physics aspect! Would be cool to get more feedback when you fail
This game was surprisingly awesome!! I really felt like I was the Waymo car.
I've never been so happy to lose. Awww shit here we go again lamo
Really cool, love the rhythm. Also like the global scoreboard, may have to borrow that idea in the future ;)
This game is super polished! Really impressive work in just 72 hours!! Although I've always been really bad at hockey games haha ;)
This game was a journey. Once I figured out how to play it was easy, until it wasn't again :). I guess I'm not cut out for Mensa...
The art is awesome and the swapping between worlds is always super cool. Congrats on a great entry :)
Thanks for the feedback so far! We totally agree it's a bit too hard, partially due to UI clarity and a lack of animations which we ran out of time to finish. For the future we have ideas to rework the UI and tweak the difficulty so it's not as tied to the theme of every 10 seconds haha.
@Anonymous We appreciate you letting us know. It was not our intent to circumvent the rules. The original Windows build we submitted is now on the page.
We hope others will still be able to enjoy the quality-of-life improvements in v1.1 that are all based on the awesome feedback we received so far!
Impressive work! Agree with a lot of the comments about the initial learning/difficulty curve. One minor quality of life thing would be a way to pause and go back to the main menu or to restart :)
Hilarious! DALLE move over...
This game is really cute :) I agree with the comment that some background music would be cool!
This was really fun! Would love the hotkeys for each item in the shop!
Nice to see another puzzler :). Love the little details like how the tutorial messages seem to come in at just the right time! Beautiful art too!
This game is so cute!! LOVE the artstyle and super crisp controls. Definitely one of the best games I have played so far!
The controls were a bit challenging, but like the concept!
Cool take on the jumping puzzler. My only complaint is that when I kept dying the animation to restart was too slow :).
The best game I've played so far! Super clean graphics, gameplay, love the upgrades. This game is big mode.
I really like the controls + timers on the bottom. That make it super clear how to play. Awesome job!
I love the concept and the graphics where very clean! Like the previous comment stated, I wish there was a gentler learning curve going from the first hand to the second.
Fun game! Can't wait to see what comes next
Super cute game! The pixel art is awesome
Really fun harvest take on the Vampire Survivors genre! The controls were clean. My biggest suggestion for improvement would be to make the game a bit faster paced! I felt like there was often downtime where I was just moving around waiting for ammo.
Sweet combo of clicker and strategy! Loved it.
I just played your golf+gardening game and I have to say, I love the unique concept. The balance between growing plants and playing golf was really fun and engaging. The graphics and sound design were top-notch. My only suggestion would be to add hotkeys for switching between balls, it would make gameplay even smoother. Great job on this, I really enjoyed it!
Time just kept slipping away as I played this game :D. Gorgeous graphics and really polished gameplay. I think these are some of the best fishing mechanics in any game I've played. Also like the Animal Crossing voice acting :P
This was really unique! Launching the monkeys was really fun. I also loved the beautiful background. The performance was also great for me. Maybe @random-storykeeper you should try using Microsoft Edge instead?
One of my favorites of the jam!! The gameplay was so addictive. I only wish there was actually multiplayer because I found the AI to be too easy :)
Fun take on the falling puzzler! This could be the foundation for something big. Perhaps some roguelite elements. I did find that if you don't jump down and stay on a platform you effectively get stuck and never lose :)
Finally the strand type game I was looking for! Always love these types of games with real data
Love to see an FPS game for harvest haha! Awesome job
This unique take on the theme had me hooked from the start. The mashup of resource collecting and rhythm gameplay is a refreshing change of pace and the graphics are adorable. The music was great, but I felt the voice acting could have been more bee-like. The dancing part was an unexpected twist haha. I only wish there was some feedback on when I pressed the right key, or penalizing mashing the wrong keys. Overall, great job on a charming game!
I was laughing out loud the whole time I played this game! Super fun and exceeded my expectations for sure.
I have been playing this game for a while and have made it to day 27! I find the gameplay to be smooth and easy to pick up. The graphics are pleasing to the eye, and the sound design is also well done.
This game is the perfect jam game! My only suggestions would be to improve the control mappings (I found X and C hard to use) and speed up the cutscene animations (I want more balls faster).
Simple but effective :D Love it!
The art is beautiful! Love the game, reminds me a bit of ours :D
Love the use of LLMs!! Hope this keeps inspiring people to leverage Open AI :D
Incredibleeeeee!! One of my favorites of the jam so far, super well polished.
Kojima would be proud :D
OMGGG This game is incredible! My only suggestion would be to save the cart you make between restarts :D And I the music SLAPS. MORE COWBELL LETS GO
This is amazing! Excited to see what you all make next (especially with AI) :D
This is a gem!!! The feel is soooo good :D
Wow! This is such a cool idea to build on top of snake!
I love minigame collections!!!!!! Congrats on the awesome entry.
Ahhh this is amazing!
Amazing game!
This was cool, I really like the dice mechanic. I hope you expand it and publish to Steam someday I will definitely buy it! :)
I have bad eyesight and the font is hard to read :( The game looks fun otherwise though.
This is such a unique and innovative idea! Once I got the hang of it I had a ton of fun!
Mario Party needs to take notes.
I really like the combination of Tetris and Checkers. The smooth jazz was nice too, just a little loud.
The sound effects are SO cute! I also really enjoy the Epic Mickey vibes.
This game is awesome!! Lots of potential here. It was a little easy though!
The graphics are awesome and the controls are soo nice! It is a little hard though :(
One of the great Strand-likes of our time!
This is super fun!
THIS IS AWESOME!!! When can we get a link to the music :D
This was probably the most fun and creative idlers I have ever played!
Wow this so well done. Congrats!
This game is INCREDIBLE! There was a surprisingly fun amount of strategic depth. The one piece of feedback I'd give is that it seems like there is a type of pack gives worse cards than the others but maybe that's just my bad luck.
This is my FAVORITE game!!! It has mining, tetris, upgrades, AWESOME!
This is beautiful. Starting off with the amazing collection animation you had me HOOKED!
This is a really solid idea. It would benefit from a little more polish!
I really enjoyed this one! It was both intuitive and in-depth.
This game was super fun! I broke up the Xbox controller and had a blast.
Super well done! Congrats
YOOO I this is so dang cool. Really appreciate the inspiration from Societies Stranding! One idea that would make it even better is if you took the minimap feature!
Reminds me of Liar's Bar! This would be super cool in multiplayer.
Thank you @oadt you are my hero!!
Wow this game is so impressive visually!
Once I got the hang of it (and didn't blow myself up), I REALLY enjoyed it. In a way it gives me Helldivers vibes. Awesome work! I hope you keep working on it.
Yes the tutorial was helpful for it! It did take me some practice in the actual game as well. But I think it's in a good place. More of a skill issue in my end :D
This is really good. I have not seen a deck builder take this approach to the combat system!
The UX was really nice and intuitive. The scanning mechanic also feels really nice. Awesome!!
This is awesome! I think it could benefit from some UX to on the animals when you hover to say what they do. The art is really nice as well.
Beautiful game! The music was fantastic.
