LD49 — Unstable

Hello ! I liked that game, having fun with a friend is always great and that game looks a lot like Stick Fight that being said, I left good ratings but I have to report some things the wall jumps feels strange, you're almost glued to the wall, some maps are not very fun and when you stand behind someone and shoot, it sends him the wrong way. that's it ! again, great game

Woah I came expecting* a simple fun game to test while on break but I did not expect a game that good. Great job I can't wait to test it with sound later EDIT : I came onto a bug : a cow killed a chicken and it said my pigs went extinct because I used hex on my pig few turns ago. nothing too bad but I think it's useful to point it out

a simple, well thought mechanic for a very fun puzzle game to play while on break I can't ask for more.

LD52 — Harvest

Very cool game ! love the pokemon x mother vibes with the little touch of humour (cacarot)

Such a banger ! the last wave is hard but I had much fun playing this and it's a cool idea for the theme

Grim Gardener by xfinktion 2023-01-09T00:09:04Z

Good job ! the game is cool and works well, the scythe tp is also nice The bosses are quite unbalanced but that's to be expected for 3 bosses in a 2 day jam I had a few glitches where ennemies spawn after the 2nd boss is dead or my scythe tp bringing me to the wrong spot sometimes but nothing too game breaking Also the first boss likes to spawn in front of me so I take a free hit Sounds are not only there but also cool, graphics are very Ok nothing to add, a very clean game jam once again good job

thanks jakobthequizguy ! you're right the game lacks something to make it engaging since it doesn't even have tower upgrades or tower variety like usual tower defense games such as bloons or kingdom rush that I love. I think I'll try to do a TD game again in a future jam but I will try to focus more on gameplay.

CropsnTowers by JackRoxton 2023-01-09T09:47:58Z

thanks scilly-guy ! yes that's a good idea to add interactivity to the game and right on the theme ! to be honest I should have thought a bit more about the theme it didn't inspire me that much so I just went with it

CropsnTowers by JackRoxton 2023-01-09T09:47:58Z

thanks clyde ! I think your idea is very interesting with a bit more thought it would have been a perfect addition to the game

The app crashes when I try to launch the game I'm unable to even reach the title screen any idea why ?

They Are Growing by ADIS 2023-01-09T09:13:06Z

I tried on windows 11 and the game crashed as soon as it appeared in the taskbar no window no sound and lauching it in compatibility mode does not help If that's not a windows 11 issue maybe I lack a library or something ?

Out of Time by XDefault 2023-01-08T23:40:11Z

First things first : great job. The game is fun I spent a surprisingly good amount on time on that one and I think I'll try it a bit more when I get the time.

Now for the criticism

the plus - the visual assets are simple but good, the ghosts are quite fun to look at, the animations are fluid - the planting and harvesting part is fun - your character controller is pleasing (the diagonals makes you go faster be careful) - the time ghosts takes to turn and attack is a good idea to balance the game

the minus - it took me 5 minutes to understand how to play the game. there is no asset when you plant something, only when your harvest them. interacting twice with an empty spot to get something is hard to understand with your tutorial running as the ghosts spawns. - the towers are surprisingly weak. they cannot even take a ghost 1 on 1 and takes too much time to make you end up with an army of ghosts and nothing you can do about it. ammunition management makes the whole thing even worse. - no music. you can try little loops with beepbox.co if you want

other - the strategy I used made me somewhat immortal : packing the ghosts and going back and forth between 2 plant spots planting turrets or ammo. with the time they take to turn around and their attack animation they cannot hurt you. - no zqsd but we're used to it

the game balance is not very good, there is no time or scoring so no real point to keep playing but the game still is fun, quite good looking and works very well for a 2 day jam so once again good work and have a nice day
