Good music choice. Well made. Had fun playing it.
Fun casual game. Loved that the cat has a transparent stomach.
Love the idea. Would like to have one for my garden! The sound for typing text was my favourite.
super fun game. would definitely love some pirate speak.
Lovely art and animations. Enjoyed the voice overs
Cute game. Nice art.
Simple funny game. Walls sometimes appear in the wrong place, for example horizontal when I want vertical. Maybe I am clicking incorrectly. Would be nice to have an indicator of where wall is coming up before it is built. Was fun to see them break the walls when path is blocked completely. The eye button is a good addition.
well made. loved the randomness on each try. good music. had several rounds. beaten by pesky firefighters.
Simple and fun game. knocking on the door thrice felt satisfying. gave it the 'sneaking at night' feeling.
took me a long time to figure out that i had to keep holding the mouse button to fire. was surprised when i destroyed my own core. not a bad idea though. adds a little more challenge to the game. also liked the core bouncing off the walls. was expecting to try the weapons but could only use one. played normal difficulty but found it a little steep in level one itself. learning unity, so your source is helping me out. thanks for that.
Nice game. couple of suggestions: 1. You have a web version of the game. so, let people know. people may be put off if they see that the only way to play is by downloading your game. In your case they can just click on the link and play immediately. Advertise it.
2. mouse clicks sometimes did not work. maybe have an indicator for which regions are clickable and change cursor accordingly.
@technodragon253 good that you did what @pilarius said. I clicked the game because i saw the thumbnail and liked the art. else i wouldn't have tried it.
i like the game. would be nice to see when enemies are getting damaged. took me a while to figure out if i had to hit them with the blades or hit the with the centre. make them red or blink or some visual indicator. this is a game well done as it keeps me engaged throughout, requiring me to react quickly and constantly.
not really a bug but maybe my screen is small. I did not know for a long time that I could move to the next level after all enemies in the first level were done because i could not see the top of the screen. maybe a blinking arrow that appears after the level is cleared would guide players.
well made. fun concept and good build up of difficulty through the levels. checkpoints would ease pain from losing after a long run.
Challenging. Always seem to lose one mainframe easily. Is there a way to turn them back on? Loved the little passages when you can hide forever.
Nice concept. Would be nice to see the clock show the time of the day so that players can predict how the sunlight might change. Maybe add a weather report to plan ahead and some variation because weather reports are never true! Lots of potential.
simple and fun. loved it. found the sounds a bit harsh on the ears but otherwise a well made game.
love the art style. Nice cover pic. the moment i heard the turkey sound at the beginning of the game, i was hooked. figured out that you can slow the pace a bit by moving turkey back and forth. gives you a little more time to get the foxes on both sides.
@anuradha @rhys-sewell played several rounds of the game. Fun. kept running out of money. the more expensive characters died out easily. may i suggest that you tweak the balance a little bit?
Nice graphics. took me a while to understand how the game worked. Reading the hints at the bottom right helped me figure out what was required. Having buildings next to each other worked against me as I kept having to delete whole buildings to be able to supply power to a newer construction. Found it to be counter-intuitive at first. Adding screen shots of how connections work can be an easy alternative to a tutorial. It would get players to not give up soon.
fantastic. love everything about the game.
@peterj Hey, I am on a windows 64 bit system. I am not able to run the executable. I get an error saying SDL2.dll and love.dll are missing. Any suggestions? Would love to try your game.
Nice concept. Do finish it.
I can see where the game is going. Got good potential. Beautiful art. Would love to see it completed. GO GO GO!
@nerd-sanctuary Thanks for playing the game and the comments. Would you say that the instructions are different for a windows PC from your experience?
Learning from what others are doing, for windows users, we have now added an exe file in the source folder on github. You can download just that single file and be able to play the game (tested on 64 bit Win10. Not sure about 32 bit). Working on a mac executable. Will update once ready. Please let us know if you have issues. Happy to fix them.
thanks to all new players for giving feedback. A lot of you have pointed out the issue with controls. Will be the first thing we fix post-jam.
@thecze jurassic park? ever played the NES game?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8UJQB-bNaU would love to make a game like that one day.
@isayneigh thats a first. when did that happen? did you bump into something when the bug showed up? will look into it.
@dedjo0 noted. bullets need to be faster.
@javasaurus Thanks for pointing that out. The game is running at 1000px by 1000px resolution. I am guessing that it shows up fine if you have a regular 1080p screen. You are not seeing the edges because we did not add any. Bad design choice on our part. We initially planned to make the world larger with scrolling near the edges but did not end up doing it.
@danilo-freire thanks for trying out the game. Will make the instructions page pop up by default before the game begins. should be clear then.
Relaxing music. Liked the little characters. Would be nice to have health pickups once in a while. Want to keep playing longer.
Skipped the tutorial. Was pleasantly surprised to be able to get into turrets. Reminded me of the old Command and conquer/Red Alert games where you could do that. Mouse seemed slow when in the turret but fine otherwise. Also, after I died, the mouse disappeared on the home screen. Overall, a nice game.
Well made game. like the others pointed out, I am used to using space to jump and found controls a bit tricky but nothing that one cant get used to after a few trials.
Simple game. Good variation and balance. Almost lost but won. Relaxing music.
Fun game. Executed well. Loved that I could shoot through the wife! Good balance between having to explore and getting back to the truck. Zombies switching between going after the player and the wife is a nice detail.
@behdad Thanks for trying out the game. The character can jump with the Up arrow key.
