This is awesome! Great take on the theme.
It could be a bit more dramatic in the end and the mouse input wasn't clear enough. At first I ran around the room trying to sit down. However you can only sit down if you're behind the chair. That was a bit confusing. Maybe just add a point in the center of the screen with a mouse symbol when you can click something.
Nice graphics and animations! Add some sound effects and you have a juicy action game.
Awesome game with great graphics and smooth controls. Really fun!
Weird game... awesome! Creative idea, funny execution, good work!
I love it! Animations are juicy as hell and the art style is gorgeous. Two-Button-Controls was executed perfectly. Really great job!!
Nice, kinda meditative game. Not much gameplay, but still nice experience!
I love it! Super juicy card game and I like the buying mechanic.
Only at some point the game stopped having scissors... Only Rock and Paper, round after round, which made it a bit dull. Probably a bug?
Great Art Style and Atmosphere! Music works well with the Storytelling.
Controls are a bit clunky, though... but overall a wonderful game!
Very cool mechanic and excellent use of two-button-control theme, very polished, awesome look. Ace work!!
The game looks really really good, well done! I like the idea but I couldn't find a way to get past the first "guard"... played it on Mac, maybe a build thing.
Superb art and platform-controls, love the growing beard gameplay! Definitively missing sounds, but well... still a great game!
I really enjoyed this game and played it a lot longer than any other LD game yet. It's juicy and it has a really complex strategy part to it. It could need better explanation of the action chain that the player has to go through (at first I played it for then rounds without even planting something), but other than that it's a really nice work.
nice concept. there can never be enough couch co-op/vs games. i think it could need a little more explanation in the beginning and when a player can't do any more actions the game should be over (i had only one defense field left), but i'll definitely play this again with more people soon.
Nice little game. I somehow felt calm playing this even so sometimes is's annoying to get hit by a bird.
Nice variation of the Threes-Idea! But is it intentional that I almost always have one of the goal-tiles at the beginning? Started one level with a 16 tile, next one with 32... made winning quite easy, because those were the ones I needed.
Great Art, smart idea, fun game! Awesome job!
This is a really interesting concept. I always thought that bonsai trees are cool. Maybe you could improve the UI a bit and I think the "leaf a hole in the middle" part isn't working as it always said that I did good even though there were a lot of leaves in the middle. But I really enjoyed playing this.
I like the idea of the colorful pathway that you're following. For a 10-hour game it seems alright. It's stuttering a lot though. Maybe the player isn't moving smoothly?
There's a problem with the mouse not showing in the main menu immediately after you start the game.
Two Buttons taken literally, I like it. Great art and animations and the gameplay is intriguing. And thumbs up for the Kamehameha-Sound ;)
nice idea, had fun playing it.
The falling debris is a bit annoying, mostly because it can stand on the "switch" and then it's hard to reach it.
it's a simple idea but it works well.
Really juicy game. I like the visuals a lot. Also the gameplay is interesting because it gives tower defense a nice twist. However it was not challenging, except for understanding that you basically just need to have ten mines and you win. So I'd say instead of mines call them "Resource Collector" or something like that and then make the map bigger and let game spawn a lot more enemies the further you are from the center. That said I really had fun playing this game. I'd just like to get challenged a bit more. (Also, i didn't have problems with the HUD)
Nice minimalistic card game, Math ftw! ;)
This has the perfect retro feeling. At first I didn't understand the controls/game mechanic at all (the movement kind of wasn't visible enough), but when you get trhough that it's a nice little game.
Nice scenario, interesting design. Didn't know what to do though... I listened to everyone but in the third room he keeps saying "you missed something, Sherlock"
Good music and I like the idea that you plant plants with cards you draw... but apart from that is there much else to do? Also requiring a middle mouse button to play is not the best choice since some play on laptops. You should include at least an alternative button, arrow keys for example.
The atmosphere and graphical style of this game are amazing. What I didn't like so much was the excecution of the movement physics and the plattforming feeling.
i like the idea. it reminded me a bit of Spore. That said I would have expected some bigger enemies and definitely a lot more of them. and it definitely needs better instructions. you obviously put a lot of thought into all these ship systems so make the player understand them instead of having to rotate his ship for a minute to change directions becadin'T figure out what to build. ;)
I love the aesthetic and atmosphere. The gameplay however is a bit too harsh for me.
not working. just snow and weird white shapes. i'm on windows.
while playing this I kind of wanted to know more about the science about it. could get some narration in that regard.
so many fat Sumotori
i liked the game, but at some point the foods became so similar that it wasn't visible anymore which one I was not supposed to eat.
Didn't know what I was supposed to do... still won? Mechanics should be clearer and it needs some balancing (I just spammed Z)
The animations look very good though!
moody game, good atmosphere and visuals. I didn't know how many seeds I was supposed to plant, there was no goal indicator.
Nice Atmospheric game with a unique gameplay idea. However, as others said already, it's very difficult to understand what is going on...
funny concept. i didn't really get the controls though but that's part of the charm.
Nice style, feels like a good platform!
Good use of the two-button-controls!
The animations could use more frames per seconds, but I guess this is because of time shortage. The character moves nice, though!
Nice idea and fitting to the time of the year. Since you can only place one decoration the editor should be a bit more complex, some more features like stamps or stuff. But it's a nice start!
Really nice use of two-button-controls! Was really fun, especially with the upgrade system. Good work!
really nice project.
i think it's interesting how we both went into the same direction.
is there something at the university that made us be into atmospheric music games?
is it some kind of conspiracy? ^^
Interesting use of the two-button controls, although it feels quite awkward to move around, especially when it's a skill-based game and you have to avoid attacks. Overall it looks very good but I think the mechanics need a bit of polish!
Nice graphics and interesting mechanic, good use of the themes.
However there should be better feedback when dying, it happens very sudden and there should be an warning indicator when collectible fish are almost turning back to enemies...
Cute little game, two-button-controls were used well. However it is a bit difficult to anticipate where the next eggs (?) are falling and if you happen to be on the other side it feels a bit out of your control.
Great Game! Love the idea and juicy exexution. Keep up the good work.
The water behaviour is amazing, great work!!
The art of the throwing guy could use some work.
Decent endless runner, like the music. Some items are spawn at positions where they're impossible to collect.
Really funny game. Can't wait to play it on my next party.
The controls could be a bit more intuitive. For example when I dash left I don't want to fall out of the ring. But I guess the game plays with the idea of funny controls. ;) I like the UI style.
Great Artwork and Sound Design! I love that main character, very nice design!
Very interesting mechanic. The movement could feel smoother, maybe controlled by Mouse? Graphics are also well done!
Feels like i'm back in the 90s but at the same time it doesn't. it works pretty nicely. i also like the different mazes on the classic version. Oh yeah and the Next button doesn't work.
I can't seem get past the first jump. Maybe I just didn't understand the controls?
Great use of the two-button-controls theme. I like the style and it's fun to play.
great retro-style game. Good feeling too it. But why kill the dragon? It didn't do anything :(
Ah this is adorable! I really like it, it is very well done and polished. Great work!
It's a nice little game. I like the idea of having to wait for your plants to grow. Feels relaxing after the stressful days of Ludum Dare. ;)
What I'd recommend is giving a bit of feedback on the controls. It's at no point really clear what does what, even if you already used it before. The symbols are just too similar.
