Papers please vibe :). Your game is polished very well with good visuals and nice sound track. And the main gameplay is of course good. Good job man. Where are the rating options? I am new here :p
@terracottafrog yep, now I am able to rate :)
Cool concept of story telling. Love the atmosphere/mood that you created with visuals in such time constraint. Really enjoyable :smiley: .
@tanis cute little game. Music and models are well made. Very enjoyable :v:
A well thought out game. The controls are nice, the background sound loop gives the vibe of the emptiness of the vast space(which contradicts a little bit with the humor from Mr. Crow, but it is a good mix), the game mechanics is well made(easy to plant seeds and picking up during harvest, enables the player to focus on the shooting instead of spending time and energy on repetitive sowing and harvesting, it is a great design choice), the upgradation system is also well made considering the time constraints of JAM. Really enjoyed :smiley: , loved the small details on the game design which made it stand out among others.
The idea is pretty innovative. I liked the visuals, music etc. Wish the map was smaller and the movement didn't have damping. But overall a really well made game. Lighting, sliding door etc. gives it a very polished look :slight_smile: .
@ursagames Just played it and loved it. All the sprites, music, textures, background in lvl ups are just great. The main sound loop is good, THE "OUCH!" is good, love the level up systems and different enemy types. I played till lvl 9 and enjoyed every bit of it.
Vibe is awesome in this one. loved those dancing plants. Good job man.
really nice mechanics. you should add different types of fishes, water flow speed etc and republish after the rating ends.
wow, game is heavily polished, sprites, sound, mechanics, controls everything is top notch. Good job guys.
I really like the concept of having a different food to lose a part in snakes game. The game has a good arcady vibe to it. Nicely made :smiley:
@the-vecter nice game, really enjoyed. The sound design is best of all, sets up the atmosphere nicely.
The music and models are A class. Wish the controls and gun were little more polished. There are some bug like hidden collision boxes and gun rotates to left/right randomly, but that's just due to small time frame during jam. I only played the single player, but multiplayer could be fun with this concept, you guys might have to add different types of weapons, a few good maps etc. But it is a good start, really enjoyed :smiley: .
Haha! very funny game. I scored 9 only :smile: . Nice models and amazing voice acting.
Visuals and music are good. Gun mechanics is also good. There are some bugs which you can fix later and redeploy :v: . Overall nice :smiley:
Oh nice idea. With progression, I was able to detect them faster. Good puzzle game.
Dude the music, it's 10/10 just cause of the main sound loop. Sprites, atmosphere, back story, different bullet mechanics etc are just great. Wish I could progress more, I keep dying before getting enough organs, but that's just me and my low reflexes lol. Overall good job man. Update: Just beat the game after writing the comment lol. I did my moonwalk strat on the enemies :laughing:
Cute game with fun game play, good music and visuals. I don't know what else to say :smile: . Very innovative. Really enjoyed the game. Keep it up.
Very smart puzzle, needs a lot of thinking and pre-planning before each steps. I am not very smart to progress much :smile: , but I understood the concept and played as long as possible before I ran out of options. The DNA system for each plants is really well thought mechanics.
Music and vibe is really good in this one. Nice mechanics too. The sprites are simple but beautiful. Other than few bugs, the game is well made. Really enjoyed :smiley:
Music and art is really good. Really liked the damage mech where you lose pollen instead of lives. Good job :).
Never played shadow of Colossus but really enjoyed the game mechanics. Runs smooth and controls are pretty good. Good job :).
I think I understand the concept. The game looks really well made visually . The joker are funny and really enjoyed.
Cute game. Nice mechanics and visuals. Good job :)
A fresh concept, I never played any game with this mechanics. I loved it. The sprites, music etc. are also very polished. The game looks ready to be shipped tbh. Had to replay same level multiple time because Ernest is too fast :smile: and doesn't wait for commands but really enjoyed :smiley:
Nice music, gives good vibes. The sprites and background also good. I couldn't do much with all the corn seeds, but it was fun to kill the enemies and get band-aids :smile: Fun game, really enjoyed.
Funny little game. Visuals and sounds are pretty good. Wish there was more things to do. But a sloid entry for the JAM. really enjoyed :smiley:
@theseusinabottle yes, I wanted to give changeable keybindings, but couldn't fit that during development time. I wanted to work little more on the sounds but couldn't due to time. But I am glad you liked the overall game :). I spent too much time on the game mechs, like different types of vehicles have different characteristics depending on weather, 2 different kind of enemy movement styles etc. I will keep the feedback on my mind during the next jam.
@phlip45 thanks for the nice words :). playing for 40 days is amazing, double thank you for that. During the design period I came up with more ideas such as upgrading each vehicles, more weapon types, more enemy AI types etc and they will be revealed during progress. But I could only fit 2 enemy types and 4 weapons in 48 hours.
@verttixpertti true. I had set up all the parameters to handle difficulties(enemy count, aggression, weather system) with progression. But didnt get time to tune it, so made it little easy so that at least others can play it without getting stucked. I am planning to update that after the rating period ends and I will redeploy it.
@imyellowfish thanks for playing my game and the feedback :). During development, I already set up the codes to tune enemy types, aggression, weather system etc. But due to time constraint, I couldn't add more variations(I was going to add more enemy AIs and weapons) and also didn't get much time to tune them. I kept it on easy so that at least others can progress and unlock the items easily.
@holysparks ya, I didn't get enough time to tune all the properties (weather, enemyAI, health-damage, vehicle etc). Adding healing potions is a good idea. Also I want to add different upgrades for lightning rod and each vehicles. After the rating ends, I might add few more weapons and enemy AIs and reupload. @adamwatters ..thank you both for playing and honest feedbacks.
@augmotic glad you enjoyed the game. Thanks for the feedback :smile: . At first I thought to put 2 shoot buttons - 1 to shoot left, 1 to right..without changing movement direction. Later I thought, maybe it will be too difficult to shoot while switching to lightning rod, so removed it. But defiantly I can improve more on the controls. For Mr.Harvard I had a whole story planned but couldn't get time to draw it like comics :cry: .
@manchmalscott thanks for playing my game and the feedback :smiley: . Your observation is spot on. So, I am very slow at making UIs. The UI development ate away time from the game balancing...at the end nither UI looks good nor the game is balanced properly lol :laughing: . I was gonna fiddle with the enemy system, weather etc at the end but I ran out of time :cry:
@gcake thanks for playing and the feedback :smiley: . I was going to use K and L for menu as well, later in hurry i thought people might like enter/esc in menu. To each of his own. And also yes, the controls are little weird. Btw, you probably had to run towards the red enemies to kill them because they always keep a distance from the player, unless you just focused on harvesting while dodging bullets and enemies.
@kilirane thanks for playing my game and such nice words :smiley: . I had set up all the parameters to easily tweak difficulties(enemy count, aggression, weather system) with progression. But didnt get time to tune it, so made it little easy so that at least others can play it without getting stucked. I am planning to update that after the rating period ends and I will redeploy it.
@leoatopos hopefully I will get sometime later and I can add some more enemy and weapon types. Thanks for playing my game :smiley:
@taikinaaa thanks for playing my game. Hope you enjoyed :smiley: .
@chompdev thanks for playing my game and the nice feedback :smiley:
@leggy after buying you need to equip it in the menu page 😅
@tanis thanks for playing.. And yes, the controls and ui needs more polishing
@marcoming thank you for playing my game :). The game defiantly needs some more polishing. I am planning to work on the controls and add more weapons, enemies, vehicles etc after the rating period and reupload it.
@mr-lazy thanks for playing my game. Yes the esc button :smile: . This was my first time doing that and I never thought that esc can exit the full screen. I will keep these in mind next time :smiley: .
@alex-de-la-cour thank you for playing my game and the nice words :smiley: . After building all the system i didn't get time to tune the difficulty, finally I kept it in easy mode so that at least players don't get stuck. And yes the controls need little bit more reconfiguration in both menu and gameplay.
@frozenfire92 thank you for playing my game and the feedback :smiley: .
The game is really fun. It is fun to roll down the hill and keep jumping. Whenever stuck in the rocks I just kept spamming spacebar to go over it lol. Good mechanics on the ropes, sparrow etc. Good attention to details, like the hamster slows down a bit just before the jump. Enjoyed it :smiley:
Visuals and vibe are well made. Sound design is also good. I would like to add one point that, make the collision box smaller than the sprite near the sides. It feels better that way when arrows or any other object fly pass the player...almost touching . Overall the game is nice :smiley: .
Very polished game, really liked it. The sounds, graphics, game play everything felt top notch. Never thought that people will be making this much polished game in just 72 hours. Good job guys :thumbsup:
This is really well made. The visuals, music, controls everything is superb. It is awesome that you were able to make FPS mech in such time constraint with a full game around it. Really enjoyed :smiley: .
98d.jpg Cool idea to integrate this game mechanics with harvest theme. Nicely put together in such time frame. Had fun :smiley: .

even though it may seems like there isn't much to do in the game(i was doing parkours btw), but kudos to the dev for developing the FPS mechanics, radar etc in such time constraint.
Wow really good game. The gameplay mech, sprites, sounds, voice acting, humor(high on life / rick and morty vibes)- everything is well made. Looks like a fully complete game and ready to be shipped. Really enjoyed.
