Cool play on the theme. I really like the simple character designs and audio. Enjoyable gameplay and fun concept.
Really nice game! Great audio, graphics, and game play. I really like how the screen distortion makes it feel like the game is being played on an old crt tv.
Really cool game. Nice play on the theme, great art style and audio. Really nice work.

I really enjoyed playing this game. Great concept, graphics, audio, and game play. I'm terrible at keeping everyone alive but excellent work!
Nice game, I really like how the graphics and audio style play off each other. I had a minor issue with the forward and backward controls where if I was moving backwards the forward control wouldn't work. I had to use the boost to be able to make the car move forward again. Cool entry into the Game Jam, nice work!
Nice play on the theme. Good presentation and fun to play.
Interesting game. When you figure out how it works you'll want to finish it. Nice atmosphere and fun to play.
This game caused my PC to shut down both times I tried playing the game. It looks like an interesting game but I cannot play it.

Thanks @scott-redrup @asue @captain-nakou @ijzm and @2-odd-diodes for the constructive feedback. I realized the issue with understanding the game mechanic late in the Game Jam but didn't have time to address that issue. I will address the issue when the Game Jam is officially over and upload a new build. Thanks again.
@techsec I plan to make another version with clearer instructions after the Jam officially ends. I will add some text in game that explains that its a word game like hangman and give a hint to hold the letter 'n' for a few seconds to get the player started on the first word. Sorry the game mechanics were not very clear.
@someone thanks for letting me know about the 'tap all the keys' exploit. I plan to update the build with better instructions following the jam. Thanks for playing.
@zsolt Thanks for the comment and for playing. The buzz at the beginning is a guitar amp. I plan to update the game following the Game Jam and will find something less annoying for the beginning of the game.
Enjoyable to play. Nice concept and music.
Interesting play on the theme, nice concept. Takes a little trial and error to figure out the mechanics.
Cool game, nice concept, and good game-play. I really like how you approached the game jam theme. Note: I found a possible exploit, if you hit "E" on the keyboard it seems to send you to the end of the level.
Fun game. Really nice art style and presentation. I like the concept and enjoyed the gameplay. Nice work.
Game looks really nice and the audio complements very well. The gameplay is really well thought out. The web version has a little bit of lag and the game window size is a little too large (I'm using a 3000x2000 display, if that matters). I enjoyed playing the game. Really nice work!
Nice game. I like the mood and how the game fits the Jam theme. I found the f(r)iend movement to feel a little slow but over all nice work!
Cool game and nice presentation. I like the art style. The gameplay is very smooth.
Cool game. The gameplay is rewarding and the puzzles are fun. The UI was really small on the web version on a 3000x2000 display but overall nice work!
Fun concept and I like the art. Mowing the lawn was funny and unexpected. Nice work.
Great presentation, fun game, and plays well. I like the art, audio, and cute dog bark. Nice work.
Nice game, it was enjoyable to play. Congrats on finishing you first LD.
Nice game! The art, audio, and gameplay work really well together.
Excellent game! Fun to play and easy to understand. Nice art, audio, and gameplay.
Nice game. It was a lot of fun to play and an interesting take on the jam theme. Cool presentation.
Interesting take on the jam theme. The UI is clean and clear to read. Nice work.
Cool game. The music and art style work really well together. It was a nice option to have different difficulty levels. Nice work.
Fun game. It's a nice take on a tower defense. The game looks nice, plays well, and has a very unique feel. Great work!
@lone-wolf @tomd1013 @lanalux @southernwerewolf @landerack @axeltherabbit @team-prosit @bergotronic @plantleaf Thanks for the comments and for playing!!
@bjornkri Thanks for playing. I agree that more interactivity would have been nice.
@owl-skip Thanks! I didn't even think about adding some camera movement. I was thinking of adding more of a story element to the game but it would have been too much work for the jam.
@kierancoppins Thank for playing. I agree that there should be more visual feedback on how your fire is doing. It is difficult to see the decline of the fire.
@edmanbosch Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback. I should have spent more time balancing the gameplay. The logs should have more of an effect on the duration and intensity of the fire. I didn't even think of adding in a minute counter to the game, that could have been an easy addition. I agree that the grey buttons needed more work. If I had additional time I would have added in some kind of a cool-down counter for the 'add log' and 'stoke fire' buttons. Thanks again for the comments.
@taffaz Thanks for playing!
@forevertrash Thanks for playing. That's a good point, I'll fix that after the jam ends.
@gwinnell Thanks for playing!
@louis-hong sorry you didn't like the game but thanks for playing.
@fetaprodmout Thanks! I really enjoy doing the audio part of game development.
@entropymaximizer Thanks for playing! I didn't have a lot of time to put into the game so I keep the scope very small. I also needed to balance the game better. The fire intensity decreases at a constant rate and adding a log instantly increases the fire intensity by x amount. The amount isn't as high as you would expect so it isn't very noticeable.
@sli thanks for playing!
@shawn-moore Thanks for playing! I needed more time to balance the game. Adding a log doesn't increase the fire intensity as much as one would expect.
@victor-reiner thanks for playing!
@jelle-vermandere @bilbycoder Thank you both for playing. I agree that there should be fore visual feedback, I was hoping to add into he game but didn't have time.
@gildar76 I also noticed that, I really needed to spend more time balancing the game. Thank for playing!!
@desertmaw Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
@papafhill I agree that there isn't much gameplay the second time around. I think better balancing and adding some environmental elements (wind, rain, etc) could make subsequent playthroughs more interesting. Thanks for playing.
@pixelstuff Thanks! I was really working to highlight the ambience and tone of the experience.
@gurbx Thanks! I agree that there could be much more interactivity. I was contemplating adding a few extra small features but time didn't allow. Thanks for playing.
@theaidency I agree that more visual feedback would be great and I completely overlooked better representing time in the game. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing.
@fififox Thanks! I was short of time so I had to keep it simple. Thanks for taking the time to play.
Interesting concept. I had to read the instructions to figure out the gameplay but after that it was easy to understand. Cool gameplay loop that gets challenging fast. The art style works well with the audio. Nice work.
Really interesting game. A lot of fun and great visuals.
Cool game, I like the jump scare. The only issue I found was that jumping up the stairs was difficult, otherwise nice gameplay. Nice work.
I like the art and concept. At level 3 it starts getting difficult but makes you want to keep doing better. Nice game!
I like the concept, presentation, and play on the theme. The gameplay felt good and the dialogue was interesting. I felt like I wanted to use specific keys to select a specific unit but the j/k keys worked well. Nice work!
Cool feel to the game and nice concept. The art, audio, and gameplay work really well together. Nice work.
Interesting take on the theme. The text was a little hard to read on a 3000x2000 display. Some funny options, nice work.
Cool game. I like the art style and feel of the game. The hit boxes were a little larger than expected but when you understand their size it's a fun game! Nice work.
Interesting game! It was fun to play and I really liked the art and audio. Nice work!
Fun concept! Challenging but enjoyable gameplay. Nice work.
Nice game! I like the smooth gameplay, art style, and it was nice to see the control instructions in the level, it made it much easier to understand how the game is played. Cool game and nice work!

Great game. It has a really cool feel, looks really nice, and plays great. Awesome work!
Great looking game and it plays well. Nice work and fun to play.
@hank-ather Thanks! It took a long time getting the pieces to work together. In the 'About' part of the game it shows how the model was split so it would work properly in the game engine. The album spinning animation was made up of 80 sprites, the tone-arm animation was 203 sprites, and the speed/play buttons were two sprites each.
@bereg yeah I was thinking of doing something like that if I do anything with the project when the jam is over. Thanks for playing!
@andrew-marsh thanks for playing! I plan to expand on this in the future by either making it so you can play additional songs or I will likely use this in other game projects.
@eskooh Yeah, I was thinking about expanding it so you can play more music or even your own music. Thanks for playing.
@nethead Thanks! I also like William Bassinski's work, he has done some interesting projects. I plan to expand on this idea in the future. Thanks again for playing.
@frank-gevaerts yeah there are a lot of little things that needs more work and there are a few shadow issues. Thanks for checking it out.

@lanalux Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed the game.

@geo3d thanks for playing! The mouse issue is because of how the web version is handled by itch. The only solution I was able to come up with was to make a function to for the mouse to lock in the game by pressing 'Q' but it still is buggy in some browsers.
Cool game. Difficult but a lot of fun. Really cool take on the theme. Nice work.
Cool game. It looks really good and you had an interesting approach to the theme. Nice work.

Cool game and nice approach to the theme. The game looks cool and plays well. Nice work.
@hulya Thank for trying it out. I used Godot for this project. In the project I have a unique AudioStreamPlayer (Godot's version of Unity's Audio Source game object) for each apple's pick and respawn sounds. So, in my game there are 8 apples each with an AudioStreamPlayer for the pick audio and one for the respawn audio. It's not a very efficient way to do it but it works fine, and I only had an afternoon to work on the project. I believe you used Unity. You might want to look into audioSource.PlayOneShot , I think that might help with multiple audio sources conflicting with each other. Another option could also be to use the Audio Mixer to route different audio signals though different channels, that would give you more control with overall volumes. It's been a while since I used Unity but hopefully that helps lead you to a solution. Thanks again for trying out my entry.
Great game. It's fun trying to get an many trees as possible all producing apples at the same time. The game looks nice and plays really well. Nice work.
Great prototype. It's fun and works well. Nice work!!
Cool game and interesting approach to the jam's theme. I like the art style and the game plays nice.
Cool game. It looks and plays really nice. The game feels really polished. Nice work.
Nice game. It looks, sounds, and plays really nice. It would have been nice if there was an alternate jump key. Holding the W with Shift and A or D is a little unformattable to do, but otherwise great work.
Cool game. The game looks good, sounds nice, and plays well. Nice work!
Funny game. Nice concept and approach to the theme.
Cool game. I like how you approached the jam theme. I really like the art style. Nice work.
