I like the idea, I just think the execution could use some work. Not being able to see where I was going proved to be more tedious than interesting. Also, the 10 second timer didn't really work well in my opinion. Having said that, I'm a sucker for puzzle games and I did enjoy playing. I think the game could go a long way with a little polish, so don't take my feedback harshly. Good work!
Fun game! I loved running around and knocking things over and causing a commotion for no reason haha. My nitpick with the gameplay is I often found myself just staring at the mini map waiting for a bed to change color. While this didn't make the game boring or anything, I just felt like playing this way almost defeated the purpose. Maybe there could be vision cones on the mini-map so that you have to actively patrol around and look for the monsters instead. Overall, I enjoyed your game very much, great job!
I had a really fun time playing this! I only have one small complaint. Getting only the boxes you want to drop off on to the palette was really tedious at points. The forgiving lock on when dropping boxes was nice; however, when I would drop a yellow box near a blue palette just to put it out of the way and it would fly onto the blue drop-off, that was annoying. Other than that nitpick, I loved it! Great work! :D
This game hurt me. 10/10 would play again In all seriousness, the only complaint (besides not having eardrums after playing on full volume) I have is that there seems to be a point of no return (like 60-80ish enemies?) where all hope is lost. Ut would be nice if you could recover from that somehow. Either way, amazing game :D
@actuallythemoon Thanks for the feedback! Little things like that are so easy to miss when developing a game since you know how to play your own game!
@3ncryp73d so it sounds like the volume sliders needed to be more obviously volume sliders? Sounds like you didn't even realize they existed? (which is on us of course)
Very polished for a game jam! I got spooked many times. Also, I love the lights noise; it really scratched my brain is just the right way. Amazing game! :D
Really simple and fun little game! The only issue I had with the game was not being able to reset your timer by going back to the previous checkpoint. A few times, I messed up instantly and went back to stay alive, but instead I had to watch the timer slowly tick down. Another way this could be addressed is adding a way to reset to the checkpoint with the click of a button. The timers being tight made things fun, but when you messed up right away, I wish there was a way to get right back into things. Overall, great game! :D
As cool as the minimalistic "figure it out yourself" vibes are, I think the game is lacking a way to teach players. I messed around in the first level for a couple minutes before reading the spoiler details and I was still confused. After messing around for another 5 minutes or so, I gave up once I got 4 green tiles to turn yellow (with harvesters next to them) and I still didn't pass the level.
My thought as to how you could teach the player while retaining the minimalistic vibe is to cut back on the mechanics presented to the player from the start. Give them a couple levels of just green, blue, and grey (if soil or pests are required to grow crops, I did not realize) on a small board. Then from there, very slowly add in complexity or a new mechanic. I may simply not understand an obvious mechanic; however, even with the tips, I still couldn't figure them out.
The music and art-style is perfect though! I will likely come back to this game and give it another shot. Maybe my brain is rotting from coding all day every day, and fresh eyes is all I need.
@ditam Here's the setup that gives 4 wheat tiles but does not win. Hope this helps!

Pretty relaxing and enjoyable, great game! My only real complaint is not being able to jump on onto a ledge while hold that direction(left/right). I really enjoyed the music and audio in general!
Took me a while to realize how to hit the cones because A/D work for left and right but W doesn't work as up. Also the game keeps crashing on me :( Otherwise, really fun game! It's got a very unique charm to it and I want to play more!
Incredibly fun and polished! I'm glad Ludum Dare told me to play this haha. Things I loved: -Voice acting (and the title screen) -All that GAME JUICE -Expanding map the further you progress -Slamming packages into mailboxes.. It's just sooo satisfying -The look of everything!
Things the could be better: -The enemies often path-find around the corner boost-pads and end up attacking the center from a different side than they came from. This felt frustrating especially because it's hard to see them while they're flanking you. -I could never tell if I killed an enemy that was right at the center or if it blew up before I shot it. Maybe have a different death effect when you shoot and enemy vs when they reach the center? -Weak shotgun range in combination with all four sides spawning waves at the same time rather than being staggered felt like I overwhelmed no matter what I tried.
Overall, amazing game! I played till Package 15 with a score of 282k (i think? maybe 182k?) before I forced myself to move on so I can play other games.
Heads up, your embedded version does not work.
I was confused the entire time I was playing this game.. 10/10 would recommend :D
@real-human-1000 Yeah they simply look at their options for movement and then choose the one furthest from each player. It weights the closest players as the most dangerous. Other than that, they don't really look ahead more than one move which is why they trap themselves in certain scenarios.
@quinn-patrick The music is simply to lull you into a calm trance so you don't think about all the people you're killing for fun! :D As for that last level, you actually can beat it by trapping two in the middle, it's pretty difficult though; I'm considering changing it before the deadline.
This seems like a largely inefficient way to deliver packages. Just pick a random one and deliver it to whoever is standing at their door? Also what kind of building has an elevator that doesn't go to the ground floor?? ALSO, I simply must know why the cat needs all those packages..
Great game, very fun! :D
This is a great game and I really wanted to enjoy it, but the sensitivity was through the roof for me. Pressing +/- didn't seem to do anything, and even after turning my mouse to it's lowest sensitivity setting, it was still pretty much unplayable. I'd highly recommend adjusting the effect of the +/- aim speed setting to have a much lower minimum setting!
@ironcutter +/- on the numpad worked! I'm surprised I didn't think of that... oops. I'd still try to make sure both +/- keys work. I'm glad I can play the game now!
Pretty fun game! Only thing that felt unfair/frustrating was when an enemy spawned on top of me and instantly ending my run.. I was doing so well too :(
I was not expecting an outlet to rant to me about Jigglypuff in Melee ever in my lifetime. Well Done
