Nice concept ! Did not expect to see a game from my childhood accurately depicted in video-game form. Well done! The controls are good and the style is clean too. I wish there were more stops on the track and that they looked like actual deliveries.
The menuing was wonky to say the least, but once I understood that I had to click on the crop squares instead of the actual vegetables, I managed to do play. The deliveries are so quick to run out of time and you gain so little hearts per delivery. This was stressful for me, but also i was like "whatever" because I didn't have any context. Do I have to help my farmer grandma who has a broken hip and can't grow the crops ? Am I making illegal vegetables in a world where only synthetic food is pushed to the consumer by BIG FOOD ? It has the potential to be something good. Once you have some graphics, some sound, some feedback overall, and some balancing, you might have a nice little game ! Good luck to you !
(tips: check if raycast pass through UI to block it, either disable vegetable colliders to be able to click plot through it or make it so that you have to click the vegetable itself to harvest it, give players all the info they need easily accessible -such as growth time- with tooltips when hovering the buttons)
Man, I love these kind of games. It's relaxing and engaging even with basic graphics ! Makes me want to make my own Ship-Builder game as side project. Thanks x1000 for including WASD/ZQSD/Arrows as controls. I was fearing I would have to put my fingers in awkward positions yet again. ^^ Also the only problem I had was that I didn't see you could move Up/Down so I was stuck with the ladder for 5 minutes. My bad tho. The game itself is a good prototype of a finished game I would pay money for. Keep up the good work :)
It's pretty fun and the "Pwou" sound is satisfying
Nice game. The controls are hard, but you get used to it. The image in the top right corner and the keyboard placement help. I found that, although it's okay, the physics of the drone could have been better. More realistic, in a way. Still, good work !
Very good game, I could be playing for hours (and I have spent at least 30-40min on it). I mean, graphics are good, tetris is always fun, the atmosphere is relaxing... BUT that damn "wrong placement" sound ! I cannot suffer it. Every time I get confident, I don't look at the the truck and place the block where it can't go and !!!!!! That sound surprises me every damn time.
Still, very good and polished game. Congrats !
@retrific Yes that's a known problem. I didn't have time to fix it before, but if I'm allowed to still fix it now, I will. Thanks for the feedback !
@patatenouille It's not explained in word, but we hoped people would get the "stay mediocre" feeling while playing. If I was going to put more time into this game, I would probably make it so that "Getting Promoted" adds difficulty every time instead of just making you lose right away.
To answer your feedback, it's not possible to put multiple sheets of paper for a very good reason: The papers would clip through each other. The whole folding system was in fact done in 2 days and there just wasn't a quick way to do it. Same thing for the tape.
Thank you so much for the feedback!
@francis The game can last as long as you want ! You just have to stay mediocre (on the yellow level). Glad you liked it !
