Very nice feel to the game, Though my computer can barely run it lol. I love the visuals though, and I am sure it would be nicer if I had some frames

Really cool game! Sadly I didn't make it very far because I get like 4 fps on my computer :/. Adding an option for lesser graphics is important when you have games that use cool lighting like this. From what I saw though, it looks amazing, the controls are cool and unique, and the sound effects/ambient noise was awesome. I am sure it is great, I just can't play it.
Very visually pleasing experience, I enjoyed playing this. Also a very creative idea!
Freaking Amazing! Prettiest game I have played so far, also my favorite! I feel like this would be more fun on a controller, since it would be easier to aim the fireballs.
Nifty game, Very cute and I liked the concept. Just kind of hard to remember what all the enemies did, maybe introduce new ones slower
I agree with @dreamer , the game can get pretty challenging at times, but I feel that it actually fits the game very nicely. The art is beautiful and the sounds to go with it really tie everything together perfectly. Great job!
I enjoyed this experience, though maybe some pathfinding on the fox wouldn't be a bad idea. Not too difficult to implement. Also a gate for the farmer to enter instead of him going through the fence. Those two things detract a lot from the game. Other than that though you have yourself a nice cute and graphically pretty experience.
Great game, controls feel quite nice, and wasn't too frustrating. I also enjoyed the aspect of having the plant, great idea :)
Very interesting game! I am a huge fan of these types of physicy movement systems. Makes the game a lot more fun than it should be lol! I felt the game was a little difficult, but other than that this is a top tier title. Love the music too, really fits the game.
Great graphics, but on my computer it was more of a slide show than a game lol. I appreciate that you added the button to change that!
Amazing game! Made me laugh many times. I love the "You are my pet now" That was great! Only thing is I didn't like that the buttons were a different pixel count from the rest, I mean it makes sense but it just kind of looked weird. Even just a lower pixel count would have been nice. All around though a great experience that I enjoyed greatly!
Right off the bat my robot got stuck on top of a building. Other than that little mishap, the game concept was pretty cool! Some more SFX would have been nice, but I love the dialog. Menu could have looked nicer though, even just changing up the font, which takes like less than a minute, makes a huge difference.
I enjoyed that game, the simplicity didn't hurt the experience because the graphics and mood of the game made for a very pleasant and relaxing experience. I really enjoyed the art and ambient noise, great vibes.
Amazing, lots of fun, I just wish I could use this axe on that stupid annoying little fire baby
Amazing game, probably one of my favorites so far. I played the whole game through and especially loved the aspect of the two relying on each other. How Haze(The name of my dragon) couldn't survive if I didn't give him apples, and I couldn't survive without his warmth. Very creative, also I enjoyed the combat quite a bit, it felt very satisfying and had a surprising amount of strategy to it. When I saw that it was going to cost 25 to level him up again I was about to lose it, but it turned out to not be that bad. Also the intro in the beginning was so adorable! And the ending was amazing too! At first I thought the dragon had turned on me, but then it just turned out that we destroyed the world together, a much more realistic outcome! Loved it, thank you so much for the experience.
Edit: I forgot to mention something, FIX THE MENU! The font in the menu really detracted from the feel of the game. Maybe handwriting it like you did in the intro would have been a good idea. But don't worry, the rest of the game was so good it won't detract from your rating!
Edit 2: I keep forgetting things. Anyways I just wanted to say the music also added a lot to the game, really tied the mood together.
Great game! I really enjoyed playing, except when a few of my people just stopped moving, that kinda sucked, also boats don't typically go on land. Regardless a great game that was a great experience
Interesting game, I love the art
I like it, great concept, but maybe add difficulty levels because it was a little challenging for me.
Great game concept and great execution. I just wish there was some sort of in game tutorial that walked you through the difference between all of the towers and introduced things slowly over time. I get it is a jam game but no one enjoys having to read an essay in order to be able to play. Also the graphics are great, very cute
Even something as simple as a different font, which takes only a few seconds to implement would have greatly improved the game. Also even the most simple of sounds like button clicks make a huge difference, it doesn't even require any code, and there are plenty of tutorials on it. Besides that, you have a neat clicker game that could have potential provided more polish.
Solid game, I really enjoyed it the first few times, but I didn't really understand how to get more of the animals in the zoo, and after like 6 rounds of the same minigames I gave up. Really cute though and a great overall experience!
Needs to have graphics settings, I wasn't able to play it because my pc could not run it. The popup when you launch the game didn't even change anything. You should have settings to turn off post processing effects. I really wish I could play this game but I can't!
Very creative interpretation of the theme, I enjoyed this experience quite a bit
Fun game! very simplistic and it helps it out a lot! I love the use of a color scheme, and the very squishy animations. Audio is nice too, great overall game.
Creative experience, but more visual feedback would be amazing, such as animations when flowers are hit. Also audio adds a lot to a game, so by not having it you are missing out on a lot! Though otherwise a neat game that wasn't hard to understand.
Like others are saying it starts out too difficult, and I don't really have time to learn everything or think about what I am going to do. Fix that and you would have a solid game.
Brilliant. I had a lot of fun playing this game! Genius idea, and I love the ominous ticking while you type
The intro made me laugh, creative idea, but you should definitely consider speeding up the typewriter effect during the intro.
@bastian-bresson Shoot I am sorry about that, I originally planned on making it a browser playable game, but for some reason when I exported it as a Web_GL game the camera was extremely zoomed out, meaning that you could see all sorts of stuff you weren't supposed to. I didn't have time to fix it so I just had to make it a download, and forgot to change that! sorry.
@raphy thank you for the feedback, I think I am going to finish this game to what I was planning on making, so I will add difficulty levels maybe, or I might just have the difficulty increase over time. And yeah you are right, currently I have it grapple to the nearest bird from where you clicked, meaning it is automatic, but Maybe i should instead have a small radius around the bird, that way you have to actually aim. Thanks!
@levi I appreciate the feedback, I had originally planned on adding enemies, but as I am very new I spent so much time on everything else That it never happened :(. I also drew a bunch of background objects that I had coded to spawn in every now and then It stopped working for some reason, which sucked because they added a lot.
@rjhelms thank you for the information, I wasn’t aware that was aloud. I don’t think I will update it this time, but in October I will remember that!
@mailman I actually did make some music, it sounded really cool, but once I added it it just didn't really feel right for the game. I didn't have time to redo it so I just opted to not have music. :/
@philip-sawyer Yeah I originally had more plans to use the theme better, but while making the game I completely forgot about it.
Amazing, very difficult but this is a case where that only improves the game
Amazing game! difficult though, I could barely even do it on easy
Great concept, but like others are saying music would for sure help the game! Also maybe being a little more forgiving on the timing
I love the background so much! I need to learn how to do pixel art, and just art in general...
Like everyone else is saying, the camera movement was nice, but also pretty confusing and jerky at times, fix that and you have a killer game
