I finally washed the wolf from the were! Really fun to play once you know all the gameplay elements. The actions are very smooth, everything works well. Very nice athmosphere and original gameplay ! Congrats for the shadow hiding mechanics, it does not seem easy to put together. Great jam game !
Wow!
- I love the graphics, reminds me of Obra Dinn. - Level design is done well so you can learn the game while playing. - The controls are both dynamic and smooth. - Music and sounds are well designed too.
Everything works well together. Really good take on this one !
I would love to play a more polished version of this game, controls (cutting things in parts) and graphics (plants behaviours) are already sooo good ! The only problem imo is the flow, it seems it is balanced for testing but the plants grows far too quick and the astronomous amount of orders makes it quite not enjoyable to me, I do not have time to think about what to do. But beside that again, this is a great foundation for a more complete game, I could definitely spend hours taking care of these plants. (and pay for that :p) Really good job, hope your plan is to make something out of it in the future, because it is promising. :D
I'd like to understand the game because it looks like a nice one could you explain me some things? 1) What do you do with the map ? The "find resources" button doesnt seem to trigger anything. 2) When using F I am surrounded with black and can't tell if I'm moving. If I press F again, all my crops has disapeared. 3) It seems I have potato but i can't interact with it, how do I feed exactlty? I look forward to your response so I can play it again and give my feedback! I all the graphic part for now, it really feals "spacy"!
Interesting Idea! Mice first thougt are: - Nice work on the bugs model. - It lacks some music, I personnaly use Busca Ceoil wich is free, small and user-friendly (kinda) - Adding sounds to the bugs could make them easier to spot in advance, currently players only randomly spot one while moving but kinda move helplessly. - difficulty is well ballanced as it is. - Adding round with objectives to reach and upgrade on the guns will make it a even more fun. Good take for a compo ! Well done!
The mechanics are interesting. It really is a mix of cleaning and gardening. The music is very good. Chill game (at first)! Good Take !
edit: I could'nt understand the ingame instructions so I had to look at the YT walkthrough to understand the cascading part* ^^
Wow! Everything is good in this game. Art, Music, Gameplay, UI, can't find one mistake. Harvesting those tile is sooo satisfying! Rated full five stars without hesitation because is my favorite so far! 173 days to complete for me :) I'm sure I can improve on that by micro-managing using all the layers each day. I keep it on desktop for next time I need something to chill on. Well done!
edit: I also had the bug mentioned above.
@matinat I had this issue until I realised it uses mouse click to fire, or space to jetpack.
@justin-c Really good game, I enjoyed it a lot. The art is good (growing buildings, missiles) but the difficulty should be balanced better. It is very boring at the beginning ( not a lot of enemy,, nothing to buy for a while) but passed 1ktime it's suddenlty unplayable bc of how you are surrounded by flying saucers.
Except that part it was very nice to play 5/5 fun game!
Clever idea ! This is one of the most interesting gameplay i tried so far. It would be interesting to add a snow cloud to balance it with some difficulty, dunno if it would fit correctly but might be interesting. Well done for this game, it is very inspirationnal!
Nice chop chop ! Scored 1200 1/1 ratio^^ We need more visual feedback on what part of the body we cut if its part of the game. Also you might want to add a Quit button so we can close your game after playing! Controls are great but I would have like something a bit more dynamic, don't know if its relevant for this game though. Nice game anyway!
Never felt mighty before this game.
Scored 141d five members! The art and animations are excellent, the gameplay is simple and smooth. Overall its very polished and pleasant to play. Is there a use to the plots that look like orchards maybe on the top left? It was confusing me, i did not know what to do with it. Great game, it deserves more ratings!
Very rich game, but I could'nt find how and in what order to use the different tools and cauldron, there is just too many things in the workshop, I coul'nt even name everything on the shelves. I think this type of games needs a proper tutorial so the player can get hook to it (at least me TT). Impressive work anyway !
Music is nice!
This game needs more ratings! The graphics reminds me of Risk Of Rain 2 and the foggy athmosphere and the morrowind-like monsters had a real unique mood to this LD entry. I could'nt get past second level on normal difficulty, the gems were very far away. Also how do you make skill point on first level? Do I have to collect more gems than the objective? Controls are good, except that shooting up while looking down is a bit confusing at first. It's nice you even took some time to add a menu and game states, it works well. Good game, i liked it !
The game is short but its style is very good. I laught a lot after realising what just happened getting the salt! Not sure if there was something I missed at the end though (let me get this bread!) but also really fun part. Good job!
Most bizarre aesthetic nominee here, I loved it. Congrats on the hand drawing and animation it's so smooth. Good game, very well put together.
edit: omg I just realised it has sounds, It's even better! I especially liked the farmer walking sound!
Noice!
Loved it ! It gets really hard with 3 characters ! Nice music and arts too! Well done!
I saw your Art in LD News thread and thought it was promising! I Love the game esthetic a lot, I got even surprised when it gets Kandinsky-like. It is a well polished, original and relaxing experience! :D
Could'nt go higher than rank A even after knowing I can rotate the pieces x) Very fun game, quite addictive! I like the mechanics you added according to the theme, great idea! Only step down is the music imo, a bit too dissonant to my taste :p Beside that I loved it !
Agree, the sounds are so cool. Love graphics also, simple and effective desaturated colors. Im not sure if i understood the gameplay well, I have destroyed all planets but nothing happened after that... Really fun anyway :)
Very nince relaxing game, I'm curious about your tileMap expansion code, always wanted to try something like this. The game has a good relaxing atmosphere (both art and music are excellent), the game flow is well balanced and my only advice would be to reduce the initial amount of click (I always thaught endless clicking was bad design). I think harvest/plant tool drag mechanic would make the game more statisfying. Anyway I had a great moment and it is a very good game ! (the end part was unexpectedly funny :) )
I cannot move, on HTML version neither.
Interesting game, I couldn't go very far though. It's seems a bit unbalanced by the fact ai always grow in number and your ships doesnt repair if destroyed on fight so you cannot play more than 2-3min. I try numerous time and got bad RnG, couldnt beat 3 opponents wave. Beside that i really enjoyed the gameplay, the art and music are really good, nice take, I hope you will pass 20 ratings and have a good score!
The art is very nice, but the ux is kinda clumsy, and it is a bit tedious to close all those popups i didnt want to open in the first place. Couldnt find how to harvest or how to use the harvester I bought. The didacticiel is a really good addition even if it did not help for what I mentionned above, its always nice to have one. Apparently the game does not reset the money when you go back to main screen and restart. The game froze the second time I tried to restart, on loading. I think it needs a few more code updates and I'm sure i could spend a lot of time on this game!
You did a really good job on art and music! Gameplay is good too, chaining orders great addition to it, though it is easy to miss a click from time to time and ruin the complete routing. I don't know if it is part of the game but it is kinda frustrating. It could be just me playung bad! Nice job anyway, I liked it !
Very fun game, I'd like to play more, unfortunately the game crashed 2 times on new event. (can't click on event, windows turns white, processing smthg? ) The game is very well written its humour is a nice take !
@const_arch You're welcome! I played the game on windows 11.
Excellent puzzle game wich makes good use of isometric road building mechanics. Sweet and simple, I recommend !
Nice improvement on snake gameplay. Graphics, controls and sounds are very good! The game flow is nicely balanced with new things to unlock. Not my type of game usually but the harvesting part match quite well with snake mechanics and I could'nt help but finish the game anyway. I'm globally impressed by this 48h project :D Great Job!
Super original take on harvest theme! Very fun to play! It get so suddenly hard (around 3k points) i could not move anymore, things keeps chain appearing around me. I love the concept anyway! Great game !
edit: I forgot to say the tutorial is a really good addition to the game, and contribute a lot to its overall quality!
Esthetics/music/mood are amazing. The game mechanics are quite simple, though it is difficult to beat! The game is carefuly well polished and overall it was a very good experience! Excellent !
- Music +++ - Graphics ++ - Combat - - Atmosphere +++
Good game !
The music is epic !!!
Funny game! - Nice pixel Art - Polished controls - would have been nice to have a tutorial (I could not cook anything before gettting caught) - also it needs a "Quit" button method since you gave an .exe file instead of WebGL (did i miss it?)
Globally its a really good take for a solo Jam, well done!
The main-menu button are easy to miss because of color palette, i have been clicking endlessly "ESC' to go to the menu without realising I was in it already ^^ I miss some tips on how many object do I have/ miss. Otherwise, beautiful game with a lot of effort put in music and art. Out of the danger zone ! :)
The creepy athmosphere and style are very well put together !
Hello guys! Could you edit the screen size on itch.io so it is less wide? I can't access the bottom right fullscreen button to adjust as it is now. Pin me in your response, I'd like to give you feedback, this looks promising ! :D
Nice little game ! Here are my thoughts:
- I Like the idea that only a fire breathing dragon could cultivate vegetable in middle of the winter. Creativity resides sometime on finding path around our expectations. - The music is soo good and relaxing, especially the smooth saxo solo part, it's from another time, I love it. - Realy good job on the graphics too, the snow effect works great. - It's a little short on gameplay maybe, I couldn't find how to cultivate anything but carrot (did I miss sometihng?) so the player quicly has no more objective when the inventory if full of these. - Queuing orders works really well gameplay-wise : excellent addition.
Promising game, by talented peoples !
I think I cant build to HTML for Unity 3D project sadly, I may be wrong but I couldnt find how. Also I do not know OSX :sorry: This is my first game jam so any advice on how to share it to more people will be much appreciated :D
edit: Im d*mb, I did not install Unity WebGL module on this machine. WebGL Uploaded
Yes I asked myself if I should lower the difficulty a bit, but it would have removed the whole satisfaction of reaching the objective and i hadn't enough time to balance it again properly. How many days did you took? :p Thanks for your review !
( psst! There's a secret debugging key that artificialy increase player's money, I forgot to remove it :facepalm: )
The cow part definitely needs more in-game feedback, yes :s I use the tips to fill the lack of it but I can understand how player can stil get confused.
**@nyxkn** Glad to hear you had a good time ! I tried to make the text small so it does not bother the player, but I could make it appears to be really small in fullscreen yes. Thank you for feedback !
**@Pincushion** Wow Day 163 is a very good score ! (I scored 188^^) I'm currious if the the WebGL version would cause some physics odds like this, they should always fly to the same point. Adding some more features after the steack/bread part was my original intent but didnt had time to, so I made that intern part helplessly gathering the burgers and selling them. I take ngood ote of your ideas though.
@**all** Thank you all for your precious feedback!
@lisyarus First of all thank you a lot for this complete feedback ! - 1) Unfortunately I never experienced that yet, do not know where it could come from. Where you using HTML version? - 2) Definitely ! - 3) Yes I chose the other way so the money tips appear in front of player camera, but I may have done it the wrong way. - 4) Yup, I didn't focus on the background at all, needs improvement. - 5) I do not know what you are talking about, I think I'm gonna spend more time on Unity tutorials x).
Thanks for your review again !
@lisyarus Hmm, ok I think the problem comes to the amount of objects, I never stocked more than 20 to 30 I think, I'll investigate this way !
@kr4ft3r Indeed I made it kinda difficult but it really should'nt be that bad, I'm curious to know what made you go bankrupt so quickly everytime. Especially after you made your first burgers. I forgot to add some in-game tips that I added in the game description here, did you miss one of them maybe? :s Like turning off the bread factory? (i bet on this one ^^), or maybe didn't make enough bread or transport grain in one go? Did you know that cows will not die if their no grain left? I may tune things a little depending on your answer, If you want to try it with lower difficulty, just use V key for an extra starting money :p
Thank you anyway for your kind words and precious feedback, my first participation and those exchanges with the LD community is a great experience! I already hope joining a team for the next jam !
I had a hard time realising that I had to select the unit with rectangle, I was clicking things without understanding what to do. After that I agree the game is tough, the idea is original, the aesthetic excellent and overall it's very well put together. Great Game, well done !
I guess I won't make it this winter ahah. I loved your retro style graphics, remind me of those old consoles I played with my uncle, was it a super NES? I just don't know :')
The art and music are fantastic ! it needs a bit of originality in the mechanics though, maybe we could get some "likes" out of all those harvested followers ? This could make it even more fun! A really good take with room enough for improvement!
Pretty fun game ! Unfortunately I do not have number pad on laptop and numbers on top of letters doesn't work so I can't claim any upgrade. So sad because I'd like to play more !!!
Great game, my second favorite so far, the concept is hilaruous and works very well. Maybe add a tooltip "press multiple time on bin", I got stuck quite a long time right at the beginning. Also I wish I could make Art like yours, my burger-game friend. Well done !
