I liked the tetris one! I think the game would be better if it were just variations of that scenario.
The music and graphics were good, it's just that the 3 stages are too short. But I liked the tetris idea!
I liked it! The concept is really cool and it's well made. The sounds are good, it's well polished. Just the gravity, I thought it was kind of wonky, but maybe I just need to get used to it. Great job!
I really like it, it's very polished, specially for a compo game made by one person. Deeply disturbing, but we are going down that path anyway. I don't think this game is fun, and I don't think it's supposed to be.
I'm not sure if I wanted to play it, it's fucking sad.
I'm not sure if this is a realistic portrait, but looks like so. Hope I don't find any relatives in this situation.
I think it has nothing to do with the theme, but this game is perfect in everything else. Thanks for this, I just want to go hug my mother now.
This game is really good! Good music, graphics, and the concept is quite fun. Honestly I would like to know what each thing does, although I have some guesses. I don't know what the lab does, and I couldn't get enough metal. At the same time, the wall which should be really cheap is really hard to build given the cost.
But awesome game, with an upgrade system it would be a joy to play.
Glad to see a great game made by a team with some brazilians!
Funny thing, we thought about the same concept at first too, but in a 3D game (somewhat borrowed from don't starve mechanic). But since we would probably use free assets, it would look like any generic survivor horror game. But you guys did it in 2D, well drawn, with some cool introduction and the experience fits together really nicely! Charming game.
I do agree that it doesn't pay off to win. It would be cool some ending scene too. But great game!
The game bugged after my first playthrough, and I didn't seem to hit the other guy or hold my ground anymore. I restarted and everything worked fine again. The game is really professional, well polished for a game jam. Great job!
I liked it, but I found it too hard. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but the fire spread too fast and you extinguish them too slowly. Great graphics and music btw. I agree that it would be cool to know when the fire was extinguished too.
I love it. I really miss those tycoon type of games, it's somewhat rare for me to see them nowadays. It's great how you guys did it for a jam since it's well polished. The voices are quite cool and funny, as are the descriptions.
I got a lot of people in my house. Two people left and killed (literally killed D:?) two other people. Another one turned into a ghost. But I was somewhat managing it, some people were extremely happy, others not so much. I think I could perfect the schedule if I wanted to.
Also, the zombie is cool.
I like it, got a score of 70. I'm not sure what's the losing condition, I guess having too many slimes?
Anyway, really liked the game. The idea is very clever, the graphics are cute and everything fits well together. The music sets a cool futuristic tone I would say. I also had the same problem with not understanding it's turn based, but after getting it the game is really fun.
I like that you don't kill the animals in this one :D. I agree with everybody that the recoil after the shot is not cool, makes it too random. I also could get a "high" (192) score by just click crazily at the top of the screen. Maybe put more ducks there to avoid cheesing or limit the cursor area.
Nevertheless, cool idea, gameplay, graphics, music, sound, animations. It's all very well done and polished, great job!
Hey, I didn't rate yet since I didn't understand how to play. I planted all the things, and then I waited and nothing happened. What should I do? I think you should put a tutorial here, apparently I can attack things but there are no controls anywhere (and nothing appeared to attack).
I played for quite some time until a runtime error appeared. But I really liked the game. Honestly I just respawn until I get a God t-shirt, and then I'm too OP and I kill every monster (until I need to get another chest). I like the concept, love that you put the source code at github too and it's your own engine!
Oh, the game is quite cute. The graphics are good and the ending is heartwarming (also, beautifully drawn). I liked the puzzle solving involved in it too. I like the different take on the theme.
Hey, I think you can host the source code on itch.io too. Way better than mediafire.
Can't help you with the building part since I don't have it too.
I agree with the other comment, try to find some other engine. Unity is also friendly (but less than gamemaker I think), but you can build for free. There are tons of others, but mostly are not as newbie friendly.
Congratulation on finishing it anyway! Hope you sort this out!
I loved it. The graphics remind me of harvest moon snes/FomT, and I really like these type of games. The gameplay is also unique but quite addicting, I lost quite some time playing this.
I retried the stage below a lot of times, but I can't seem to stop the vines. I'm not sure what I should do, I realized that depending on the way you cut them they grow in different directions, but I didn't know how to exploit that.
Anyway, really lovely game. Oh, and the music, did you guys make the music? Used some kind of program? While I find most of the music made for jam somewhat annoying after some time, this one is incredibly relaxing and the game is still in background playing the music.
The only downside I can think of, is that sometimes to clean all the weeds you just need a lot of time. The game loses some of it's puzzle aspect, and it's just you going from one side to the other cleaning the weeds faster than they can grow, but still slowly. I did like the idea of an "extra" achievement though, so I don't have any suggestions on how to improve it.
And again, the game is awesome. Hope there is an version with a more gradual difficult curve later.
It's funny, both the concept and the texts when looking/interacting with things... although it is somewhat disturbing haha. I really like the drawings too.
The game is great!
I do think you can't really recognize all the keys at the same time. I tried to lift some just to test and the game didn't care. But the concept is awesome, and I guess it's kinda okay if you don't cheat yourself.
Really innovative, the art is simple but really charming, the music is cool, there are funny comments at the side. The game fits together really nicely, it would be great in a suite of party games or something like that. Also, different but perfect take on the theme.
Cool game. The concept is really cool, and the parcels do sometimes fall neatly into the shelves, I like it.
The graphics are also good, kinda funny/cartoonish, fits well the style of the game. Given the arena, the music fits too.
It does get frustrating when the walls are too high, but I guess that is the idea. I also didn't find any use for the dash (it's not really faster than walking I think), it would be cool if it did something to the parcels too.
Got 1661 at my second try. I didn't really understand why the game ended, I don't think I was hit, and I also didn't fall. The game is simple but it's fun. The meteors are too hard to see though (maybe I was hit?), and I agree that something should show where they are going to fall. It's okay to be random, but I think it's unfair if you have no chance to react.
I know you didn't make the music, but great choice, fits well in the game. The character is also cute.
I spent quite some time playing it. I like the idea. I was somewhat confused about the debris vs space thing, but I think that the debris is some kind of punitive measure if you let your things be destroyed? I also wasn't totally sure about how to defend from monsters. Probably bunkers and maybe decoys?
Both fonts are also somewhat hard to read, the futurist one only because it is too small and I don't know how to make it bigger.
Anyway, I really like the concept, the writing is awesome and the game is charming overall. Hope I can find the chicken nuggets if you guys finish the game :D!
I really liked it. It's cool how many people tried to do some farming horror games and it worked well. The engine looks different too, some web based? Quite cool. Graphics are also really good.
Very cool game! The concept is really unique and loads of fun, I also like you can chain attacks, it punishes mistakes harder. Also really polished. I died in the queen (I would say it looked like a downgrade since you can only attack in diagonals and has a bigger cooldown, but it has a special attack, just saw it now in the description, it may offset that). I think a line drawn in the ground would be better too, it's hard to know the path the piece is gonna make when diagonal with that curved line. The horse was a neat idea too. I may try to get to the king later.
Oh man it's so much like my game. Like, SO MUCH. At least the main idea although the way things happen are somewhat different and you preferred a top down approach (honestly working in first person was so buggy I wish I would go back and do the same). Even the somewhat poorly drawn main menu (I used Piskel too!) and models because you probably aren't mainly an artist, or the tradeoff between planting many things and getting gold but getting overwhelmed.
Your is more fun though tbh. The merchant dialogs is funny and it's really cool how you switch to first person after getting to that place. Unexpected but beautiful. It lacks any polishing, but strangely enough I think it matches the overall mood of the game. And I didn't find any bugs. I guess maybe one: I think there was music at the start, and I've seem you used Incompetech's music at the menu, but didn't hear any sound or music after some time!
I like how you mix the twin stick mechanics into the game too, you need to shoot seeds, water, etc. I didn't understand what to use the water for, though. I thought it was to calm down the plants, but it didn't seem to work. Didn't seem to change how fast they grow too. I also bought other seeds but they didn't change anything I think. Didn't understand what they do.
Loved it, congrats for the game.
I was searching for games similar to mine and found this. And I recognized your name, you just commented on my game!
That's like, really awesome. It's similar to my idea but honestly more fun and way more polished.
In the second day the game froze after I harvested some corn :(. But it's incredibly well made, didn't find any other bug.
I think it's the best game I played until now. Maybe it's just because I wish I had made it :P. Great models, programming not buggy and the banjo music is awesome.
Edit: Tried again, same thing, froze after getting corn. Not sure if "froze" is the right word, it just seem like I can't do anything.
I liked the game, but I think it would be way improved if either there was no space between cards, or you could select them with the keyboard. I ended up missing a lot of cards because of clicking in the middle of them. Also, although I found awesome the idea that the number of cards is the number of mistakes you can do, it's kind of bad when you are gonna click in a card and it's disappearing, and then you miss again, try to click in the other card for the next note (which just disappeared) and things go downhill. I guess I can get used to this mechanic though.
Still, really enjoyable and neat idea.
(Yeah the timing went to negative for some reason)
I liked how the three different levels had different music. I really like rhythm games, so I found it fun. The bar that kept pulsing at the bottom didn't mean much to me, I didn't understand what it tried to convey. When should I hit? when it gets full? Or if it gets full I miss? Something like the beats from Necrodancer works better I think. Sometimes I swear I pressed the button at the right time at the second level, but couldn't make it work. I also sometimes wondered if there was some type of cooldown to the laser, cause sometimes it would miss when I think it shouldn't (but maybe it's just that the sound it makes made me confused).
Overall quite cool game.
All the content by you? Even the music? The music is great! The first one is awesome, I love this style, what program did you use?
I would test by myself, but it didn't work. "ESCAPE" appears on the screen and then it looks like I'm stuck in this screen. I tried to press WASD IJKL and the arrow keys but nothing happens :(. It looks quite cool and I wanted to see the weird ending.
The graphics are really really good, and the music sounds eerie too. The mood was really good. But I couldn't do much. I tried to follow the order 1-4-2-3 l and 1-3-4-2 shown by the green dots (considering it was a vertical or horizontal ordering), neither worked. Not sure what to do. I think that the rhythm part is also incomplete, right? Cool idea, I love rhythm games, I would play if it was improved I think.
It looks like it would be cool. I tried to join a game from a guy called @pcoridan, which is the same name as one of the devs haha? Maybe it was just a default name? Couldn't find anyone on the island and my internet is kind of bad so that's why I disconnected soon after I guess. It was a bigger problem though, considering the view is too angled downwards (as someone commented) and I wasn't sure if I just couldn't find anyone or if there wasn't anyone there since it was hard to look far.
I also don't really think there are two really incompatible genres here. But on the innovation side, really cool to see a multiplayer game, it looks really hard to do something like that. Would be better if it had some kind of AI too, though, but that's really hard for a short project I guess.
It was quite hard initially to understand all these commands. But also I think you provided a the right difficult at each level so it wasn't so overwhelming. I started thinking it would be a lame game, and finished all the levels wanting more. Really creative idea actually, the limitation on control made it look more like a puzzle, in a good way. The only similar game I thought of was There Came an Echo (which I didn't play). The letters were also really small to read in a big resolution, but no big deal. Overall, really fun.
Edit: Oh, also the Webgl version doesn't seem to work here too. Maybe if it's a general problem you may want to take it down so other people don't think the game is bugged.
I liked it, it's a very creative idea. It could work on those .io games, too, with many ships and you stealing their cargos (that shoot). I think the controls were a little unresponsive, it didn't seem to turn sometimes, not sure if I was doing something wrong. But overall quite cool.
It's seems really cool, but sadly I had the same problem as @Hello.Coder :(. I will try on linux later and follow up if it works.
Wow, first time doing the audio? That's awesome. Everything is really good, the graphics, the processing. I want to learn how you did it, I will check the source later, it's amazing the blur and floating things, and it's less laggy than my game that has no post processing at all.
Couldn't beat it yet (died in the "frogger" part), it took some time for me to understand what's going on, but I felt it's really creative after I got it. I didn't like much that the direction he could go wasn't the same as the one the bridges go, I needed to zigzag a bit so I don't fall (and then I got stuck with an almost complete piece doing that). But overall, really great.
I liked it. It's somewhat glitchy, specially underwater. I think that the fishes got trapped somewhere I couldn't see :(. I'm also not sure if I need to hit the far right or the middle of the bar. Concluded it's the far right though because I was getting better fish that way :D! Really solid game, just didn't play much because I got stuck. Also I was super confused with the guy falling on the water. But I got it and thought it was super funny (why opt out of humor?).
The WebGL version is kinda bad (as in general with unity's webgl =/), so I'd recommend the windows version for those who wanna play.
It's incredibly polished. The sounds, graphics and everything are very tight, I really liked it. The only problem is that it takes too long for the spin. It's cool the first few times, but since it's one of the main ways to get money (apart from the tower), it ends up consuming a lot of time. But it's fun and really well done.
I'm the number one now! Died because I didn't see I was going that far. But super fun, it's like the barrel parts of DKC but on its own game. I'm not sure about what genres are being mixed, maybe put in the description? Loads of fun.

I liked it. I really liked how everything sounded, the clicks on everything and the music. I sadly exploded it, though.

It's really simple, but it is a complete game. I like how you tried to animate it through moving the static model. Obviously it would be better to get a rigged model with animations, but it's a cool effect you don't have that. The mouse hitbox seems off, and I think it would be cool if I could click below the deer. You could easily solve that with more knowledge, so your next game will be even better :).
