Great job, the art is amazing! The overall mood is nice and the music is good. It's very well polished and intuitive.
Only bad point for me is the timing between the choices that is a bit too short to read sometimes. And the integration was not working, I had to play it on itch.
Very nice platformer. Graphics are simple but the effects and change of colors are great! At first I found the jump a bit too short, but I understood why when seeing the upgrades.
The time we have left is not super clear, even with the music on, it could be accentuated. And death is very punitive, 10 levels with no death is quite hard, but the fast pace make up for it and makes you want to play 'just a last game'.
Very fun to play and looking so nice. Maybe the only issue I had is the lack of feedback when dealing damage and killing enemies, it kind of felt like my beam was not doing anything. But overall well polished and very enjoyable, plus you nailed the atmosphere.
Art is nice, and animation is fun!
Particles are really cool, but more feedback like changing the sprite color would make it more clear when dealing/taking damage
Following camera is a bit too slow, at some point you can't anticipate slimes coming at you. It's not clear that you don't deal damage without clicking as there is a red line. And maybe you should as spamming the click button to attack is not really interesting.
And small bug : the number of survived waves is not reset when dying.
Best bee management game I ever played!
Overall very nice game, might seem hard at first, but is actually quite easy when understanding how it works. It can be hard to spot flowers with no resources, maybe darkening the one that are empty would have been better.
Interesting concept and the art is simple but pretty. It's quite fun to play.
It seems almost impossible to predict the orbits, feels like having the canon in the same position does not launch satellites the same way (maybe it's me though). But it would have been nice to see the path of the satellite before launching it I think.
And sadly the music stopped after a few seconds, but it seemed pretty nice.
Love the aesthetics! Graphics and sound design are great!
Concerning QR codes, the idea is cool and original, but it breaks the rhythm having to grab your phone every time you want to read something and so becomes annoying.
For the platforming part, the character feels a bit heavy when it comes to jumps, but overall it feels good.
I probably missed something, but to me it was not clear if the blinks would teleport me or not.
Overall a very nice entry, gorgeous and well polished!
Good idea! Fun to play and the humor is pretty good, but either I missed something or you can just use as many cards as you can during the 10 seconds which lose any strategy you may have. And the effect of the cards once you play them is not always clear, maybe more feedback would have been great.
@cosmonautical Thank you for your feedback. The lose of HP in the the bunker is normal, the bunker itself is losing HPs so you need to repair it, which is definitely not clear in the game. The character is intentionally slow to force the player to use the power ups and the resources are limited to make the player think about what upgrade they need and in which order, but it's possible to go everywhere on the map.
@mrmaico Thank you! You have to dash into the wood planks to destroy them.
Thank you @sash-a and @mistagiggles for your feedbacks! Indeed I had some issues with the jump after exporting to HTML so I changed it but did not realize it became so 'pixel perfect'.
Btw you can actually survive to at least 15 explosions and finish the game in 12 (maybe even 11).
Nice graphics, well polished, very enjoyable! To know how far the character is going can be quite tricky even with the blade filling up. But still very nice to play and juicy.
Fun game! The concept works, I have to admit I got hooked.
But I think the game could be paused when choosing upgrades, and sometimes selecting cards is bit buggy, you have to click multiple times to make it work.
Loved it! Very polished, nice looking, sound is good, good game mechanics and super fun! Plus it has a tutorial. Very good job, the only bad point was my brain not managing to move both hands separatly. Maybe having the second hand on the arrows would makeit easier to control.
Good idea! The game is quite slow during the first levels though so not very interesting but It becomes way more fun when the number of spawned kittens grow. The music is good but the loop is a bit short, it becomes quickly anooying.
Overall fun to play, especially when getting to higher levels.
Updating the store is a good idea but make the game not well balanced I think. I was only able to build one turret in a few minutes so upgrading the existing ones was not enough. So maybe you could have done it not completely random (if it's what you've done). And resources were all spwaning at the same place making exploration useless once you found the spots.
Anyway it's quite fun to play and an overall nice entry.
Graphics are nice and the cold atmosphere is well made with the snow falling and the wind sound.
Gameplay feels right, and levels are cool. The sound of the enemies trying to enter is a bit loud and becomes annoying, and sadly I think I had some bug with my character being still slow after restarting, so I wasn't able to go further without restarting the game. And a more different sprite for enemies would have been great as they look don't look like danger at first.
Anyway it's overall a pretty good entry quite well polished.
Graphics are so nice and the concept is good. Might be a bit too hard as once you start loosing buildings it seems like there is no way to come back. Overall well realised anyway, for me the main thing missing is feedbacks when your buildings get attacked and destroyed, and the firegun sound quickly become annoying.
@tengusheath Slightly changing the sound with a random pitch each time you play it is an easy trick to add some variations.
Nice aesthetics, cool concepts but I think you should have displayed the controls in game instead to have to open the pause menu, as I would have never seen it without reading the game description.
The collisions are very buggy which makes the game hard to play.
Pretty fun, reloading every 10secs is a good idea and works well, plus the bonuses are well thought in accordance to it.
Might be missing some feedback when hitting enemies, but overall quite nice!
Overall quite nice, graphics and sounds are terrific, and it's fun! Might be more juicy with better feedbacks when using wrong buttons or adding stuff to the potion. Changing the controls is a good idea but you should keep them displayed as it's already hard enough to switch from one to an other.
Loved the grandpa voice acting! Cool idea and well made overall.
Just wished the Gameboy screen was a less dark (even if that's how it really was) and the platformer character is a bit slippery. Also the music loop is maybe a bit too short so it can be annoying.
The art is simple but works well, and the overall melancholy mood is well realized. I suppose the opportunities missed so quickly are the point of the game, but that may be too much, as I didn't even have time to read most of it, which makes it lose some of its relevance.
Good idea well executed! Graphics are nice, the gameplay works and all the information is clear. Needs some balancing though as quite quickly enemies are killed before appearing on the screen.
Nice concept!
For me the bad points are: at first it was not clear to me you had to type the space and the music loop is a bit short and gets annoying at some point. Also, a score would have been nice, even with no score board to make the player wants to play more and know if they did better than the previous time.
Overall nice to play, I got hooked ;)
