Couldn't get it to work as the AI option isn't available, but I like the ambition!

Love the graphics, albeit static. Didn't really get the gameplay mechanics though..
I'm a sucker for zombie games and movies, so you get points for that. Like others mentioned, I miss the actual game feeling.
Very cool, makes me remember those terrible interactive desktop things I used to have in Windows XP...
I had no idea how to keep him alive, maybe there is actually no way he survives... anyhow: loved the whole mood, graphics and audio is neat. The intro was a bit too long for me, it had me at the start but then I lost interest in the dialogue.
Overall I'm very impressed, great job!
I love the way it looks, that's actually what made me play it instead of other games in the list. I agree with the others that it's a tad slow, but hey, farming ain't easy ;)
Nice! I'm terrible at it, but I love rhythm games :)
It was hilarious! Wish I could throw people up in the air that high :') Sometimes when I spammed 'X' a second wife spawned and I could pick one up while the other was still in the air... does the character have a pack of wives?
Love the game concept of protecting the tree with a first-person tower defense like game. Epic atmosphere, great job! Love it.
Thanks everyone for all the feedback. Since some of the bugs are preventing you from properly enjoying the game we've uploaded a new build to Itch.io with some bugfixes.
*Bugfixes* - Unclear/unsharp UI in-game - Hooks not working twice in a row - Getting burped while enjoying an elevator ride
Very absorbing atmosphere, impressive!
Impressive visual style, and easy to grasp!
It’s simple and fun, just what I like for a short playthrough
No clue what's going on, but I enjoyed the visual style and vibe! Slapping things with the wrench felt satisfying as heck :D
@bradur yes I did! Liked the animation very much (rocking the elevator sideways)
I like the color palette, gives off a really chill vibe. The premise is also really original, love to see a future version that’s more fleshed out!
@art-alchemist hmm that’s strange! It uses a rudimentary p2p connection with NAT punchthrough, so it can definitely give hiccups with certain connections and/or ISPs. Haven’t seen it lose connection over and over, that’s a shame…
@borabee thanks for the feedback! We ran out of time with the time limit & obstacles, the multiplayer part + modelling + dynamic sound design turned out to be very, very ambitious.... Getting the p2p connections up and running without dedicated servers and all.
The sinkholes are a bit bugged out, rarely visible and when you hit them you die in flames.
@emsea awesome to see you two play our game and having fun!
Art work +10000, gives it a lovely silly vibe. Also, kudos for belly flops. Original spin on the water interpretation of the theme!
Simple. Fun. Make it into a full game please :)
What an amazing feat to build this in a weekend. Damn. Looks great, playthrough was fun, loving the overall feel!
Love the weird twist, rooting for Blobert ❤️
I love the art and overall vibe! I can see how this would be really fun with a more fleshed out gameplay loop 💪
Great job! I am a sucker for space games, and I really enjoyed a quick playthrough 💪
