Takes a bit to start picking up, but the spikes definitely make it a bit more of a challenge, really interesting mechanic. I really like the whole 'bubbles popping under too much stress' idea. Cool! (Also really like the goofy messages at the end of each level)
I love the art. I also really like the puzzle idea, it doesn't get much time to shine, obviously understandable for a game jam! If I had one little nitpick, the plants growing a little faster would be nice. Really awesome, though!!
Fun! I love the drawn graphics and really like how the cutting the skin effect was pulled off. The randomized to-do list is really neat, too.
Very polished, really cool idea, too. I wish time slowed down a bit/stopped while you're using the plant selection wheel, but that's just my personal opinion. Good job!
I think the destructible towers are pretty cool, and upgrading systems are always cool to have, too. Pretty nice!
Really cool to be able to fit in so much different types of gameplay, the whole concept of collecting and unlocking new rooms for the ship is pretty cool and I could see it being expanded upon a lot, there's some small issues I have, like the movement during raids feeling very odd and hard to control, otherwise, really nice!
Cool puzzle! I really like it, simple but fun. With more polishing up this would be really cool.
Pretty cool, the sandworm is terrifying, I can tell you that. Very interesting to see a game based off Dune!
A bit difficult to get the hang of, but it's a pretty cool idea. Couldn't wrap my head around making a 3D game like this so quickly. The different types of tools are cool, too. But I agree that it's a little too physics-based, with throwing around tools becoming a little tedious. Either way, awesome job!
The art is really nice and I absolutely love the gameplay, for something so simple it is really fun. I just really like tile-based combat, honestly. Would love to see an expanded-upon version of this.
Really like the art and it feels addicting to play, no real challenge other than just collecting stuff as fast as you can and it's really fun. Nice job
Pretty fun! I'd love to see being able to carry more than one weapon at a time, though the concept is really cool.
@john333 Oh yea definitely, the game would need some changing up if you wanted to add more than one weapon to hold, haha. Just thought it would be a fun idea to incorporate in somehow.
Very simple, but a silly and fun idea, I like the art-style that it gone for and the way it uses the theme! I think obstacles can be kinda tough to dodge if you're not expecting them, so it feels a little like some trial-and-error is involved, though that's nothing too bad. Overall, liked it!
Really fun and addicting, I think there's definitely a lot more work to be done, especially when it comes to more feedback with manually clicking the crops and a way to pan the camera would be a huge improvement. But, it's a really good base for something more. I played for about an hour straight and this is how far I got.

I'm playing the HTML5 version so the game screen started flickering and lagging hard at this point, I also understand the robots are broken, so I decided to stop here. Really cool, though!
Really nice for your first game jam! Took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out you had to move the mouse, lol. Fun, though! Cool idea.
Really liked it! Reached day 28. It does get basically impossible later to keep up, though I have seen people get further in than me, haha.. But it is really fun. I think it'd be cool if you ever wanted to add onto it to be able to upgrade your elements in some sort. Also love the art! Good job.
I love these types of puzzles, can never go wrong with them, really cool, I definitely think the movement should also be tile-based to fit more with the gameplay, but a fun puzzle nonetheless!
Thank you! After voting and everything, I definitely wanna come back and add a few more plants.
@cpt-slimers Oh, that is odd, it may have been while you were re-rolling? Think I forgot to set it so seeds can't go below 0 in that case. Thank you, though!
@korvack I definitely think that would be a good change to make, your right as if you lose your footing, it's difficult to really recover, thank you for playing!
@mcbombadev Yea, I've definitely thought about making some sort of mouse-aim mode, possibly a later upgrade? I am worried it'd be too powerful. I'll definitely end up bumping the laser speed up after voting. Thank you for playing!!
@amarokczukay This really means a lot! Thank you!
@ben-toosey That's insane that you'd give it such high praise to believe it could win the whole jam, thank you so much. The support on here is overwhelming.
@phillip-scott Thank you! And yea, balancing in the short amount of time I had left was super difficult, I knew it probably wasn't even beatable but needed to get it out, definitely something I wanna fix in the future!
@the1 Thank you!! I definitely wanted a big contrast between the wave and shop music. I don't think getting to wave 15 is possible right now because of lack of time to balance, but you can definitely try to get as far as you can, haha.
@nodra Thank you for playing and thank you for the feedback!
Jeez! Lots of positive feedback!
@cappa-games Thanks! I definitely have plans in the future to update it. I looked up Octogeddon gameplay, I can see how it reminds you of it. Looks really cool!
@jiri-hysek Thank you! I'm surprised, I didn't even think wave 14 was possible!
@seltzerfish Sadly, music and sound effects are the only thing I didn't make, I don't have the time or skills for that, but at least I know I made a good choice in it, thank you!
@aurailus Thank you so much both for playing and the feedback! I'd love to make some sort of 'plant-leveling' system, whether it's stacking one onto another or some other method.
@mathieuspooky Thank you!!
@qooorti Yea, I've been looking into mouse-aiming for the future. More automation plants I'd love, too. Thanks for the feedback!
@mhorth Thank you!!
@itsboats Thank you so much! The rock was meant to be a bit useless as a gag, but extra defense to adjacent plants is a pretty cool idea.
@grisha Thank you!
@rohanmoon That means a lot! I've been thinking of updating it a decent amount and after voting period putting it up with a very cheap price on Steam.
@treenut Thank you! Yea, I agree, I really want a level of automation later on, but I think automation and the gun laser can be balanced a little better so it doesn't become entirely useless to use properly.
@noeloskar That bug is really odd, must be Linux issue, the game shouldn't have any control over the mouse like that. Thank you for playing!!
Pretty fun, good concept! There's definitely some RNG involved, couldn't get red fruits for the life of me, but I liked the idea of being able to plant them into pots to harvest more!
This is so good, I love the uppercut + air punch combo and the pixel art is really nice. Super polished and satisfying to play! banishpit.png
It was pretty neat! Most of the issues I had with it have already been more than addressed in other comments, such as the odd reversing behavior, but it's pretty fun! It's actually similar to what I did for my entry which is interesting to see.
I really liked it, reminds me of something like "Papers, please". It gets super stressful with the timer, but ofc not in a bad way (otherwise what would the timer's purpose be, right?) I like the dialogue and the goofy talking sounds, too. Really cool!
It's pretty good! I wish enemies had a bit more feedback when being shot at, like subtle flashing. Otherwise, it's fun. I like the little details like the player's eyes glowing and the reflective pool.
I really think the mechanic was fun! Smart idea to have the "speedrun" timer. The level design can feel a bit messy at times, but there's still some fun levels. The art is also simple, but good too! Compo games are always impressive.
I love games like this. Would love to see this expanded on. Could not beat the king, haha. Awesome game!
Throwing the pizza box to bounce off the walls onto the boss is a super fun mechanic and I love the juice of the game. I finally beat the boss after a good few tries, though I haven't tried hard mode yet, haha. Really cool
It's small, but what there is, is really fun. The art is super cool, too. Like the other comment mentions, very polished and the heartbeat is a cool detail. Good job!
@firebelley Thank you so much!!
@hundekuchen Yea, I get that. The controls can definitely handle very difficultly and the camera may be a bit too much for some. Thank you, though! I'm glad you enjoyed it, anyway!
@zettelkasten Thank you!! I love adding little details, so I spent a lot of extra time on that. And yes, warning to people reading this, I am very aware of the car sometimes getting stuck between two objects, but just didn't have enough time to get a proper fix for that. Sorry!
Just be careful when running into some things! haha
@rohanmoon THANK YOU!! Oh yeah, I'd love for different vehicle selection and just have to tweak the controlling of the car in general. GTA2 was definitely one of the games that I was inspired by!
@99jason Thank you! Yes, It's Godot 3.5.2 specifically!
@lichtung Thanks!!
@blue-pin-studio Thanks!! $3280 is pretty good! Yea, a more zoomed out camera would probably be a good idea.
@drainkid Thank you!!! I don't know how I was able to get so much *mileage* in such a short amount of time, either. Game jams are just so fun, haha. The vehicle control is definitely by biggest weakness here, too. I will take that "aspiring" out of my bio now :)
@aurailus Thank you!! Also, you're definitely not alone on that. I didn't realize, but apparently a lot of people are used to the opposite reverse controls. My fault!
@kevin-scroggins Thank you so much! Yea, I definitely see now that the game is a bit tight on the timer and will fix that for an after-jam patch. I'm also glad you found the enemy AI enjoyable, as I was really proud of it and decided to embrace how goofy it was.
@gonzo13 @thomastournoys @rekiem @johnsonhao
Thank you to all of you! Obviously a big issue is controls, and I'm planning to try and fix that in a post-jam patch along with a few other tweaks to make things a little easier (More time, gas, etc.)
@makuck95 Thank you!!
It's really addicting. Though, I couldn't make it to 3 stars. Got to 56 points. It definitely feels a bit RNG with the stampless mail. Still, I liked the simplicity and addictiveness of it!! Really fun.
I love the tiny pixel art. It's a very silly and cute game, even if short. I even played through it a couple times just to get a quick time and got about 52 seconds.
This was surprisingly well-balanced! The upgrades were fun, yet it stayed a good difficulty up until the end. It ended up crashing for me after it got really intense, I'll post the error I got. firefox_VgRx3inwU9.png
Oh wow, this is awesome. I definitely need to come back to it later, but from what I played I love it.
I like the story and setup, not to mention the really charming art. Love a good ol' boss rush, Cuphead style. My game actually froze/crashed after one of the times I got hit by the seed from the bird boss.
Either way, this is really polished for what it is, good job!
Despite there being very minimal art, I LOVE what's there visually. I also didn't realize I could keep track of 5 little guys like that all at once and remember them all! (Don't ask me how well I did once it reached 6...)
Super fun and awesome!
Such a good idea for a simple puzzle game like this. Sliding the tiles around into place is fun and the little animals are cute, nice job!!
Unfortunately I didn't finish it, but from what I played I do really like it! The art is really appealing and I like how all the puzzles are knowledge-based. While I didn't finish much of them, before I knew the game wrote down the code hints for you at site, I had actually gotten out notepad to write them out for myself, haha.
Really cool!
Done did
Really cool. Love the graphics and vibe and a really unique idea. Him disappearing off of the little device was such a "Oh, god." moment.
Fun little puzzle game! I personally think the art is charming, even if it's a bit rough. (Love that little sleeping frog sprite!) I think the frogs could have been made a little more useful, the first level the frog was in, I hadn't even found out what it did. I'd also have loved to see a couple levels that were a little more difficult!
Either way, it's really solid, especially for compo! Congrats!
Not gonna lie, definitely had some trouble later levels haha, but I think it's really fun and could definitely be expanded upon. I really like the puzzle elements and trying to get the gold too during the limit. Really cool!
Really fun! I just put everything into damage and fire rate and cleared through them like crazy. I also want to mention that the music loop for as simple and short as it is, is reallly catchy, haha. Good job!
Wish it was a little longer, I played through it a couple times. First run, I only had dealt with the three-headed dog and little dog, so it was really quick. Second run, the bunny did also end up spawning at some point.
It's cute, though! I like how it's already got the Halloween spirit to it, perfect for October! Congrats on it!
For your first Unity game in such a short time, you should be proud! I think the main issues I have with it gameplay wise is that having to catch that many mice doesn't feel very warranted or rewarding. A few to begin off was fine, but 40+ for level 2 is really crazy! Also, just general mouse (computer mouse!) sensitivity feeling pretty low.
I did like how you added little mouse holes and the traps! Good job on this.
@soul-grinder Oh yea, definitely I understand that. The concerns of scope during jams, sigh... Good luck with your future games and jams!
I really liked it, I love the small bits of jokes in it like the boxing team poster and how the goobers look LOL
I only tried once, but sadly, the five goobers I had sent to the exit door had failed and died and I was kinda hoping on that working. So close.
Really good job, though! It was fun!
@shaolin-dave Oh, that's odd. I'll have to try and look into it, I built the game in 4.3 stable and it works fine on my browser. Does the itch.io page have the same issue?
@lightningst Thank you!
@kenjimarcio Lol, thank you! Yea the creatures might be a little TOO needy, haha. All that matters is you tried your best.
@flipsy Thanks!! Yea, making your game understandable in a jam like this is definitely difficult and I banked on players figuring some of it out on their own, glad it hit for you!
Lots to catch up with, but thank you to everyone!!
@blue-pin-studio The light switch should start the level! For recipes, you just interact with the blue machine on the left, then pink or green depending on which creature wants the food.
@plasmapuffs Thank you! For post jam, my highest priority is definitely fixing up clarity on the food machines as the original intention got muddied a bit in the jam rush. Glad you liked it and congrats on finishing it!
@hakimallazi Thank you! @coltonphillips Thanks!! I've explained a bit of the more confusing aspects in a previous comment if that helps.
I agree with other critiques, controls could use a bit more work and those bees can be really weird and difficult a little later, but either way good job on it! I really like the paper art style.
The hexagonal grid idea is really interesting. Really cool idea for a puzzle game and well balanced on difficulty!
A cute game filled with the most vile evil acts known to mankind. Awesome.
This was kinda addicting. All goals hit in 24 minutes. Really badass, would be cool to see more management choices for nodes, like rearrangement, selling/deleting, etc.
it's a really fun idea! watching dozens of enemies run head first into a sawblade is awesome
Oh, this was so fun. Art and animations are so good and charming, I love the way the upgrades worked, too. Metal detector for the theme is a really creative idea.
vibes are sick, skeletons were genuinely panic-inducing, really cool basis for a game
This is such an interesting idea!!! I love frequency matching puzzles like this and goofing around trying to find the right pattern is really fun. Perfect mix of experimenting around with what might work and logic for the little creatures.
Oh this is sick, I love how it looks stylistically and the warioware-esque minigames paired with searching for the signal is really cool.
@4farandbeyond lol, thank you!!!
@pokeydem Thank you! I'll keep the feedback in mind. Would you be able to clarify on what felt unresponsive with it?
@rta228 The art style was partially inspired by 'No, I am not a human'! Thank you!
@tolviere Thank you!!!
@greenradiation the beer can is just a distracting visual, maybe it's played too often... you don't have to worry about anything other than the wheel and dialogue options. Thank you!
@pokeydem Gotcha gotcha, again thanks for the feedback, either way!
@toshiy THANK YOU!!! <3
thank you to everyone who played! Appreciate all the really nice comments and feedback.
@vary the road is 3D! It's just repeating pieces with a shader to add that little visual curve.
It throws you in very quick and enemies can get overwhelming, but it's really cool!! Art is super cute and it's pretty polished, the variety that is there with the signalmons and enemies is nice, too. I looove tower defense games
The style and presentation is really cool, especially the intro comic which has insanely sick art. I really like the idea, but it is a little rough around the edges. At some point my brain stopped appearing and every time I tried to enter the "haywire mode" (I think it's called?) and after a few seconds I'd be thrown into a stun QTE. I also felt like the enemy was getting hits off me, even though I was a good distance away from the attack visually.
Either way, it'd be nice to see this get fixed up a bit after jam, it's a really cool idea
i like it when the frog screams
A really fun submission, it feels like once you get the right upgrades at the beginning you very easily snowball to the end, but not being able to perfectly balance things is the norm for jam games. Really cool!
took me a second to get (Had to refer back to the LD page, particularly cause I was being stupid and wasn't sure how towers worked)
but, once you get a hang of it, it's really fun. It's really polished and I can definitely see someone getting super into this. I'd love to see it expanded on.
-#1 rock hater
This is pretty cool, I like the enemy variety, I got to the point a vehicle just drove in and finished me off. I like the graphics too, even the silly drawings for the cards. I think the most awkward UI thing really is just the card being on the cursor when using a projectile.
Either way, really fun
It's just "mischievous cat simulator", that's about all there is to it... BUT, it does "mischievous cat simulator" very well and the art is really cute! Good job on the submission.
