Super fun! Great tie into the theme, loved the feeling of panic when trying to make a snap judgement on how to respond to the text with mild panic about what I'm going to hit. Nice balancing too. Music and art are fantastic and all super polished. Great work!
Really enjoyed this - great fun playing through and really well tied together. Great use of the theme, graphics, audio and overall vibe were great :)
Great idea to try and boil a farming genre into a 10 second loop! I found it a bit hard to follow the results of my actions each round but had fun putting on my virtual farmer hat!
I like the use of 10 second rewind mechanic to tie into the theme - clever! I would have liked some more branching and choices along the way, but enjoyed what was there :)
Love the overall vibe and voxel art style works great! Beam didn't do a lot of damage at the start so didnt feel like I was taking out many enemies, but enjoyed the weapons upgrade path and pacing. Nice work :)
Great concept and the overall experience ties together really well - congrats on such easy to understand tutorial for concepts hard to explain in such a short time! Love the graphics and audio too - you should def continue dev on this, very fun concept!
Great to see such a fresh take on the every 10 seconds theme - enjoyed exploring the different upgrade options, some didnt seem to have as much of an impact as expected but others (eg bombs) made a real difference. You could add some world obstacles in there too? I felt I was walking in the same direction a lot but running into buildings/fences could add in some variation. nice work :)
Neat use of the theme and I like the concept! I found it a bit confusing on level 3 as I felt that the second clone didn't appear to follow the original instructions (went in a different direction sequence) and I didn't understand why - but definitely wanted to play more :)
Love the humour and theme! The per-floor monster destruction works great to contextualise the time limit per level and it's great how consistent the experience is to support the theme. I got a little stuck on one level (I kept dying when hitting the top of the screen, not sure if you die if you go above the top?) but had a lot of fun :)
Love this! Such a great vibe - playful use of theme, LOVE the visual style, music and super easy to get into with tons of appeal for replaying. Awesome work!
Great use of theme and really enjoyed the challenge! The voiceover for countdown is super effective.
The colour/visibility toggle works great - really nice use of the theme. I found myself surprised at things I missed and enjoyed the challenge although it got a bit tough for me!
Love the application of the theme and great composition of different mechanics - challenging but fun!
Ah flashbacks of Y2k Panic, sold-out supermarket shelves and fears of planes dropping out the sky! I love the changing labyrinth mechanic tied to the theme - really original and not seen that in any other entries yet - the bug fixing mechanic works great (esp for programmers :P) and the visuals are a perfect fit for the experience. I got a little confused at follow mouse controls at first but soon got the hang of it. nice work!
Love the art style - so visually rich and the creepy gothic vibe is a great match (audio works great too). I found it pretty challenging to play (maybe as I'm on a laptop trackpad not mouse right now) but really like the concept and had fun!
Suuper addictive - great energy and pacing and ties in great to the 10 second theme. Love the art and music, controls work well - nice work :D
Cute art and like the overall mood - the taking out the monsters mechanic worked well but I was only able to pick up a pumpkin once during the tutorial - after that the e button didnt seem to work again!
The upgrade path feels great - love that sense of increasing power! Knowing when to activate the wormhole to buy upgrades and refresh the ship makes for really interesting choices in the play. It felt a little slow for the first couple of rounds (I wanted to do more) but really picked up after a few. Fun!
Congrats on making something so fun and complete - didn't get theme connection but other than that I loved the progression, clever, great jokes and loved the message at the end :)
Music was great! The "diagonally/start" level I found a little disorienting as walls blocked off the camera view with a lot of clipping but I enjoyed exploring the stones and tree environments. Also, looks like your embedded ldjam version isnt working? Got an error with index.html not found!
Nice message! Enjoyed the small secret :)
@vipbasil Thanks! Yeah we def need to do some balancing :)
@aj-studio Thanks for playing and the feedback!
@partysquadmember Thanks for playing! Yep we would have used wasd too but needed that for the typing :)
@rinkuji Thanks for the heads up around AZERTY! First time using Unity's new Input system - will def fix this one up.
@congusbongus @jejkobb @takexito @falk-hoeppner @suzanne-hardison Thanks a lot for playing!
@chetthonctus Hey great to know you managed to complete it! Yeah def didn't spend enough time balancing and on AI :P
@mar3k thanks for the heads up - just made public!
@marcodeevil You'll need to walk up to her and type in the message that pops up using the keyboard to impress her without causing a stink!
@voidsay should be working now on itch - can take a short bit to load - no loading bar right now in HTML template
The pairing of boost/nerfing on each card is a really nice feature and I really like the way it can change the feel of the game every 10s. Might be fun trying a forced countdown on that screen to increase the pressure and keep up the pace (I found myself taking time to reach each card so pausing the action) but concept works great, was fun to play!
Great humour and fun concept! I love that pressure of searching for a mate as time closes in - works great with the theme too. Art style fits it perfectly and great humour throughout :)
Found it a little confusing but fun concept of rewinding time on ability used! I think the scaling might have issues on the embed btw as to area seemed cut off Screenshot 2022-10-07 at 11.54.47.png
Like the characters and visuals! I wasn't sure how it connected to the theme but I see you mentioned that above - would be fun to show that on the screen with a big alert every 10s. Also I got stuck a bunch on the walls at the edges like others, and I think having diagonal movement with controls and seperate aimed shooting would be fun (like smash tv etc) so you can move in one direction while shooting in the other. Nice work :)
Nice! Love the setting and art and concept works great with the theme (although took me a moment to figure out I have to collect bullets to heal, was looking around for collectibles). Def would have liked audio/visual hint when about to change modes, and found it a little challenging but had a lot of fun, nice work :)
Hey! Having difficulties running in browser (on mac so cant use downloaded build) - getting "Failed to read the 'serviceWorker' property from 'Navigator': Service worker is disabled because the context is sandboxed and lacks the 'allow-same-origin' flag."
Nice concept, fits very well with theme - I struggled to make much progress as found it pretty tough - would have loved a visual countdown on the timer but really enjoyed the experience :D
Like the challenge! 10s per level makes repeat play short enough for the loop to be fun and learn the right route but I definitely struggled a bit with the difficulty and controls. The first few could have been a bit easier! I like the theme of going INTO Pandoras box!
Absolutely loved the style - beautiful art and mood and I have a real soft spot for foxes! Really nice use of 2.5D artwork. Became a little repetitive as I approached 50 foods, but had a lot of fun playing through and really enjoyed the experience. Nice work :)
Loved this! Great puzzle mechanics and rules and fits the theme really well - music and graphics are charming and worked well, great progression and increasing complexity and so awesome that you managed to get a level editor in there too. Great work!
Love puzzle games/escape room games and this hit the spot! Enjoyed playing through to the end, I'd have liked to have some fun little contraptions/puzzles along the way (like in The Room), but I know how tight time was! Nice work :)
Nice concept and real feeling of flow state when juggling all the activities (planting, defending, attacking, harvesting). I found it a bit too challenging and the controls a little awkward at first for me on a laptop keyboard but enjoyed it and wanted to play again!
You managed to use the theme twice (Soul harvesting AND regular harvesting) so kudos! SOME guilt at all the blood spilt but had fun playing through and loved the comedy vibe throughout! Music works great too :)
@sullycollins, @fiat-ventus, @globul, @tomaspraestholm - Thanks for playing, glad you liked it :) @cactusdan - yeah I think the flies are especially hard. Was there anywhere else you found it being a bit wonky? @orhu Thanks for the heads up - wondered if you could let us know the browser/machine you are on? Need to get a bit of experience optimising for Webgl! @crygos @pe7e - Thanks for the suggestions. We'll have to battle it out for space for either hookshot or jump! @sean-esopenko Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the heads up! did it not load on ldjam or just poor performance? Any idea what the issue is on hosting here?
@orhu Thanks for sharing that, yeah that should play fine! Performance seems weirdly variable on WebGL play.
I ate way too much suspicious glorp! Love the style, art and humour - at first I was super confused but enjoyed the process of figuring it out! I wasnt sure if there was gonna be fail state when the board was full of toxic barrels but liked the fact I could fight it all back. Nice work!
Great topic! Clever application of theme and fun mechanic juggling the deflection and encouragement/transfer of the real art. Sometimes packages seemed to get stuck at an edge so I couldnt move but was super satisfying to nudge the poop into the AI arm. Had a lot of fun, nice work :)
Enjoyed playing through this! Reminds me a bit of some of the timing/planning challenges of Crypt of the Necrodancer. Some of the mechanics weren't super clear at first (like why you need to have the phase mechanic) but made sense later when there are limits to use. Fun level design, some frustrations when the traverses are long and you die right at the end (happened to me level 8) but had fun! Nice work :)
Hey! Yep getting the same issue - the embedded webgl build and linked-to build arent working for me (Chrome)
Fun concept and enjoyed the blend of puzzle and platform mechanics! I got stuck a couple of times (didnt know do use Lightning power) and found the platforming a little frustrating at times, (more coyote time?) but had fun playing around with the powers, solving the puzzles and figuring it all out, nice work :D
I seem unable to rate this one too - no rating options? Like a good upgrade game though! More upgrades along the way would be fun (carry more cargo, better turning speed). Maybe things to avoid too? Had fun, nice work :)
Had fun playing through this - felt like a neat little puzzle and I enjoyed the time pressure as I slowly age. I wasn't sure why I was aging so fast, but hey mystery is always fun. 45 souls and died 9 times!
Looks super fun but I can't seem to get the first incision right either - I wanna open up the creature! Also, yep don't think this can be rated at the moment?
