Super clean game, movement is some of the most satisfying I've played this jam. Loved the detail of the wheat turning green when the area's been completed. I saw the progress early into the jam and I've been waiting to play this one!
You guys mentioned that you were hoping for more from the gameplay side of things but the visuals and sfx were great! Had that retro feel that I know many people here mentioned and I'm singing those praises too! sfx when interacting the items were nice but an animation of picking up would've helped a lot with clarity. I found myself running past the RAID can and would accidentally get the hoe but I wouldn't notice I had it until I got to the plot I was spraying. Great little bite sized game tho!
Awesome game! Movement was super responsive and the swinging was great! I found that if you attach yourself to one of the swinging orbs and reset to your last position you stay attached to the orb so you get sent flying back to the orb haha. Sick game definitely one of my favourites!!
Cute little bite sized game! Loved the munching animation when you're eating all the food!!
super simple game but the graphics add so much! the shooting and enemy dying animations are super reactive so the game feels so good to play. playing on a trackpad so tried a few times but couldn't get past that first tomato phase holy haha. great game!Screen Shot 2023-01-13 at 12.56.34 PM.png
This is a game that you play when it's 12am, in a warm blanket and it's -15 outside, it's just so cozy! Took me a second to get used to the controls (playing on a trackpad), and the scrolling through the menu was hard without the mouse, but that's just a small nitpick. Music and atmosphere was great, and not sure if you guys made all the assets but they were awesome! Loved the game :) !
The two player mini-game vibe made me think of old coolmathgame titles. Got to play this with my partner and it was a blast! Good call on making the apples move at different velocities cause it keeps you on your toes. One thing I thought could've been added was a border on the sides that the apples could bounce off of to keep them in bounds. Great little game!
Fun game! Great foundation to an autobattler, looking forward to see what you add to it! Biggest complaint I have after 5 matches is just that the text on the cards is really small, it'd be nice if when you hovered over then, the card would get bigger (kinda like hearthstone)! Great game overall
Really had me hooked. Love that you got a variety of nut allies and squirrel enemies, kept the rounds engaging.
Little pet peeve was that the acorn allies to choose from were right on the castle, felt like it was really cluttered once all of them were bought. Maybe having them in a bar in one of the corners would've cleared that up? Love how the castle grew and added buildings as they units were bought!
Art style was super good and everything matched the aesthetic you had going! Loved playing your game!
Love the warioware style minigames. Definitely one of the funniest entries I've played so far haha if only we knew the company this games referring to.
Main feedback I've got is that the balance minigame didn't seem to be responding to my arrow keys. I'm playing on mac so maybe that has something to do with it?
Either way great entry!
Love the art style and music for this game!! The map and music really sets the tone of a medieval meep quest haha
Really impressed with the gameplay you managed to have in 3 days. The roguelike style really gives this simple game a lot of replayability. Would love to play this game with a more fleshed out trait and battle mechanic system!
Loved playing this one. The background music and physics were a highlight for me. The opening cutscene and end scene really helped make this feel fleshed out. Super fun game!
Kiting game lets gooo. Super solid execution of a simple idea. Only feedback I found is that since I could switch between panels there wasn't really a threat of dying because it seems to reset the enemies position! Great entry, especially impressive for a solo
Such a simple concept but such a solid execution! This felt so polished between the intro segment, the swooping transition into the game, and the cute story. Great puzzle game!
Great game! Played a couple rounds before realizing that you could squish the bugs. Would love to see this game fleshed out with different kind of ants and enemies. Super good entry, especially for a first jam!
Crazy good entry for a solo jam. Atmosphere, music and visual are a major highlight. Found the trading portion a little slow and repetitive but it was cool to see the trading leading into/affecting the TD portion of the game. Super great concept definitely one of the most unique and creative entries I've seen!
