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.

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!

I was not expecting an outlet to rant to me about Jigglypuff in Melee ever in my lifetime. Well Done

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!

Heads up, your embedded version does not work.

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

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!

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.

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 :(
