Fun game with cool concept. I enjoyed playing this. Would be cool to come up with something that would prevent using the same strategy over and over and force you to find different.

Nice art style and music! Gameplay could be more rich.
This must have been a lot of work! I think it could be a little better with less features but more love spent on polish and fun factor, otherwise good job. I didn't like that you had to confirm dialogs after actions with space key. It felt like it is slowing down the gameplay.
Simple and perfect! Very good job. I've protected my hearts fot about 3 minutes. Phew, my mouse wasn't happy.
I really enjoyed playing it. Awesome job, guys! Score 964
FPS multiplayer game in Ludum Dare! What will be next? 2-hour long animated movie? Anyway awesome job. Some parts of the map are really dark. Not sure if intended but it is hard to see enemy there.
I was so immersed when trying to survive that I couldn't pay attention to environment and enemies. Very nice! Has kind of Half Life vibe.
@pavel-ivanov Thank you, Pavel! :) Font is called Wash Your Hands and you can get it here: https://www.dafont.com/wash-your-hands.font
@reef Thanks for feedback! As for the chicken, it will follow you closely right after you call it. Then it slowly looses interest so if you need more obedience you need to call it again ;)
Love it! I especially like those little things like level turning black after finishing. Rare thing in compo category.
Nice game, took me a while to figure out how to control the little buddy but I guess it is part of the game. Very good take on the theme and you are right, we have it kind of similar ;)
Beautiful game. Took me first game to realize what should I be doing and that I can upgrade my weapon. Plays really well and has nice mood and feel. Music seems to be stereo only in left part of the map.
Nice game! I really liked that it has an ending. Cool artstyle, trees look quite original :) I had problem to "go in the forest" at first - didn't realize that there are paths from main road. This game could definitely benefit from some sounds and an ambient loop but I know it's not easy in compo. Good job
I love how this game surprised me! :smiley: I wasn't expecting much from the screenshots, but boy oh boy was I wrong. Awesome entry :elephant:
Definitely interesting idea that goes well with the theme. Camera control was little clumsy for me which was spoiling the fun a little bit. Maybe rotating around world center (idol) would work better? Otherwise quite polished, good job!
Very impressive work, especially for compo. I liked how the experience was nicely guided by the boss. The calm mood when building reminded me a game called Monzo that I worked on. Kudos for the Blender reference :)
Great game! The sound of incoming bull scared the sh*t out of me :smiley: I've almost missed that there are objectives, it could be a little bit more visible.
Awesome entry - audio, visuals, levels are great. I wasn't really sure how I finished the last level. As for feedback - if anything the character control feel could be a bit better (not sure, probably slightly more dynamic). 5 stars
Great take on the theme! I love how well the controls and gameplay is polished - for example the catch of falling object feels nice. Great job! Btw. I had some visual glitches when rotating, looked like vsync problems.
@mhorth I have the image teared with several horizontal stripes when rotating. It is quite distracting but maybe it is just on my specific setup. If you turned off the vsync then it might be it ;)
Nice concept that can be expanded further for sure. I like the way tractor hits the trees :) I would love to have more speed and acceleration though :rocket:
> @reivilibre Really well polished and fun. Well done! Would love to download a non-web / Linux copy; is that something you have around or would consider making available?
Thank you for your feedback! We do not plan downloadable Linux version currently.
> @sipfindel Do the zombie really say “auvajs”?
Yes, they do! :)
> @reivilibre In the past few days, it seems like the game’s been nerfed and it’s now exceedingly hard to get past wave ~7, before I could get to level 40. (I noticed the price of poppies has increased by 40 seeds as well.) Is there a trick I’m missing?
We did some balancing changes (mentioned in the "Changes after submission" section) so the game is more approachable on start (no crazy first wave) and difficulty is increasing faster. It is still possible to get to higher waves though - current top is Wave 80 ;) Tip: It is all about making the route longer and plants fire effective. In higher waves heavy usage of Mushrooms to slow down fast enemies is a necessity. I hope this helps a little 💪
Crazy super fun harvesting! I scored 572. Some kind of secondary attack or dash with right click would juice it up even more :upside_down: Hit sound is extremely satisfying :blush:
I like the graphics and story telling. Biggest downside for me was the difficulty. Levels are fine but since the shooters are not making sound or any visual preparation it was hard to guess the rythm and the fact that it shoots even though you cannot see it yet make it even more difficult. Nice entry overall though :muscle:
