Really well polished game. Agree with other posters that perhaps the hitbox should be slightly larger, but other than that, everything is spot on. Graphics are great, audio is good, creates a nice experience and it's a fun game!
Really impressive game, and well executed. Really liked the visual style and the music fit perfectly. Very smooth. Good work.
Yep. 10/10.
UI is good, audio is good. I think the towers have too little health, and it could really do with a tutorial - took me a couple of goes to realise that the floating circle was the spawn point. Originally I thought it damaged enemies that get too close. Connection to the theme is a little loose, but it could be a really great mobile game.
Looks great, clean, good audio. Really like the 80s feel. I might be inclined to suggest the first few blocks were designed to get you into it and have the random generation starting a bit later but that's just me.
Liked the way it looked and played. Might be inclined to tone down the car sound a little to let the music be a bit more prominent. But good game all round.
That was a great game - huge potential here for a full release. Art and music were great. Agree with other commenters about the wood to make bridges - maybe it would be good to get a warning for that like you have with the trampling berries? I know you get the popup explaining the bridges, but would be good to get something the first time you actually put one down.
Well that was fun. The audio was really nice, it looked good, and it was strangely immersive.
Good idea, it was fun, but I managed to get the robots stuck behind a building somehow and they didn't seem to want to come to me.
Yeah, really liking this game, all the individual elements are great, and it's a creative take on the theme (creative full stop).
It's ripe for some post-jam development. If you flesh it out a bit to include a tutorial and a few more levels it could be a real winner.
Loved it. Brimming with whimsy, couldn't help but smile. Not quite sure how the accuracy is being calculated, some of my attempts were awful but I got tipped and others I thought were beautiful but I got nothing.
All in all a creative take on the theme, the music was perfect, the visuals were great, and it was just good fun.
As with other comments, there were some issues with the lack of a warning, but wow, the art is incredible - looks really professional. A bit more polish and it'd be really very good.
It looks nice, the controls are good, and the level design is top, but I think you need to allow for very slightly harder collisions around the finish point. Doesn't take anything away from the game though, it's great.
Music great, visuals great, good fun, hectic. I think there's a (very) minor audio bug with footsteps being audible mid air if you're pressing A/D but I might be imagining it.
Nice, addictive little game. Another commenter said it would work well on mobile but I can confirm that it already does. For 10 hours I'm very impressed.
👍 Perfection.
That was great. The sound effects were nice and the visuals, particularly the lighting, were superb. Controls were really smooth too, it felt very clean and polished.
Well that was a lot of fun, love the sounds.
Had no idea what I was meant to be doing for a while but I really didn't mind. It was basically meditation.
The visuals are beautiful. It was a bit hard to get going and learn the indicators for the fake floors etc. but I guess that's part of the experience. Nice.
Nice little game. Very smooth and polished, plays well and looks great!
Agree with other comments - looks, sounds, and 'feels' really nice, but would be nice to have a bit more to do.
Really clean and polished game. Plays great on mobile. A lot of fun!
Sounds were great, it looked good, and it fit the theme nicely. Would have liked to be able to see what I managed to take at the end.
Relaxing game - really nice art style and pleasant sounds, even the card flips sound really nice.
So it was good, and a nice bit of silly fun. I can definitely see it working as a premise for a full release. If I were to suggest an improvement, the algorithm could be improved to increase the probability of potential matches based on what's already on the board - I seemed to struggle to get matches after 2nd generation, don't know if that was intentional or if it was just 50/50 and bad luck.
It was a good bit of fun though, nicely polished, and a nice ending, so thanks for the submission!
Wow. Really good concept and great submission. I think the visuals and the audio are great, and it plays pretty well.
A minor suggestion for improvement is that the UI could be a bit clearer. I think this could be done without breaking from the current art style, but given the time constraints are an important feature, the UI for that element should be a bit more prominent.
But thanks for the submission, I enjoyed it!
Nice little platformer and a good concept. Agree with another player that the character feels a bit floaty. Feedback would be great, I couldn't figure out how to eat a mushroom.
The reaper was getting stuck and would also probably be an idea to have the reaper get distracted by the corpses you leave or something.
But the level was good, and I thought it looked nice, was smooth and the music set the mood appropriately. Thanks for the submission!
Pretty hectic, it looks nice, and it's all pretty smooth.
My only criticism would be that prompts should show up only when they can be fulfilled, or a little popup to say what you're doing wrong when you try to douse a fire with no bucket and no water would be great.
But this was a good submission and what was there was done well!
@bixarrio Yup, it was my end, not yours, given it a play now and edited my response. Thanks for the submission, and apologies for the confusion!
I didn't expect this to be as fun as it was, but the polish really sold it. Nice animations and audio. The kind of game you're always looking to challenge yourself to go one better in.
I was a bit confused and also scared. The mood was good and it was on theme, but I didn't really understand how all the various pickups worked, why and when I would lose, and how to purposefully delay that other than just picking up random items.
I really like the idea - updated to take some static troops and different formations this could be a good full release.
If I were to make a suggestion to improve it, it would be that there are some returns for killing enemy troops, and those returns are changed based on distance from commander, would help with scaling as the game goes on I think.
But pretty polished submission, a good concept, and I think what's there is good!
Agreeing with other players here - it was hard to figure out what to do at first, it might be an idea to note on your itch page that you need to click the ranger picture again when the tab's open, that wasn't immediately clear.
There's the basis for a really good game here. I can't think of an in the wild conservation game, but it's certainly something I'd be interested in, and this could very easily be expanded on and made into a full release with other animals, environments, etc.
It was a good game, nostalgic, top marks.
Would have been just as good for the 49th jam (unstable). Really a true to life game though, my sink isn't looking dissimilar. Decent fun and a good challenge.
Doing the jobs of 10 people, then getting sacked for underperforming. 10/10 for realism.
