The vibe reminded me a lot of stardew valley - is that what you were going for? This is a very cute game, I enjoyed it a lot.
The game's very simple but somehow probably the most fun game I've played so far. I spent a lot of time playing trying to get on the leaderboard.
This was very fun - one of the only games so far that I've played twice. The graphics are pretty, though I agree with some others that the traffic lights could benefit from being bigger or more visible. That doesn't take away from the fact that this is a very good game though.
Very fun and intense - probably the best game I've come across so far.
The art is very pretty, and the game is fun to play but I feel like it's a bit too challenging to win - the comet just always seems to land a bit before you've had time to fill all the cannons. I didn't find the slimes to be too bad after playing for a bit, though maybe a health system rather than instant death would have made it feel a bit less punishing. Overall though, very nice game - I had a lot of fun with it.
Unless this is just a whole type of game that I've never been aware of, this game to me was very new and unique. I found it confusing at times, especially to begin with, but once I began to understand what was going on it was quite enjoyable. Overall definitely a solid submission.
It's a shame you didn't have time to finish - this a nice game, and I can definitely see the potential for it to have been a really good entry. I still enjoyed playing what is there of it - I think you'll definitely do well if you can plan better in your future jams.
This was a nice game. I liked the graphics, and the gameplay was interesting. I will say I found it a lot easier to just swing the pump around everywhere - I think the game may have benefitted from making the other tools more effective and easier to use. The start screen was quite confusing at first glance, but looking at it I feel like it's made to look a lot more complicated than it really is - a lot of it could just be summarised in a few words. It also could have helped to colour the stick figures depending on what they're immune to - i.e. have the red ones be immune to lava but vulnerable to everything else. Overall though, don't let the amount of criticism deceive you into thinking I found this to be a bad game. In many ways it was very polished, which is rare for a jam game, let alone a compo game. Overall it's definitely one of the better games I've played so far.
Edit: High score - 627
I agree with the other commenters - I think the length will have to limit my rating, but I found the game enjoyable and I can tell you could have made something excellent if you'd had the time to.
I don't really see how this fits the theme, but I found it very fun - if you look past the theme, it's an excellent idea and game; one of the few that I think I'll be coming back to.
Really enjoyable game, I was surprised by how much content it seems to have. I enjoyed it a lot.
I don't know if it's just me, but I got an error when I caught the first piece of trash. Hopefully you can fix it and if I remember to I'll come back to this in a day or two.
Edit: That problem's gone now - the game was playable, though the end screen did say my score was zero. I enjoyed playing, but it got repetitive after a while - I think the difficulty did seem to increase, but I think especially later in the game it should have risen a bit faster so that a single round doesn't become too long and repetitive. Overall though it's a nice game, especially the art, and I enjoyed playing it.
This is a nice concept, and not a bad execution, although I think aspects of the gameplay could do with some tweaking. I agree with the comment about the controls - perhaps the bar to signal your speed could serve as an indicator that the length of the press affects it, but as it filled up so quickly I didn't get why I was going so fast until I read the description. That also made it quite difficult to control my speed, so I found myself going generally too fast for the length of the levels. I've focused a lot on the negatives here but overall this is definitely a good game - it has a nice look to it and the concept is good; just would benefit from some simple gameplay tweaks.
@roitchie I completely agree - I'd originally intended on a lot more variety but like you said, time constraints can be limiting. Thanks for the feedback!
