The art amd atmosphere of the game made it fun to play! It was short so it is understood but having it all kind of be a joke at the end was a tad disappointing, but I had fun exploring :3 I like this games potential a lot!
this was so cute and fun! good work for doing it all yourself. I liked the simplicity of the game, everyone knows how these games work and it does not even need explained. The combination of catching vegetables while trying to keep and eye on the farmer bouncing everywhere was the perfect amount of challenge! The "basket" controls felt a little too slidey, and made precision a little more difficult. Otherwise, it was fun!~
Cool game! I like the mechanic where there is kickback on the gun. And the bridge being destroyed makes you have to pay attention to what youre doing (however I found that holding up cheesed the kickback if you paid attention to not letting the piece of bridge in front of you break). Maybe it is a reflection of societal values but I found destroying the wook a little more natural and fun than collecting the gems xD but maybe that is because the incentivied mechanic is usually the left mouse rather than right. Anyways, only ended up getting a high score of 6. I like the music though, a tad loud but thematic. And the art and design was cool as well!
Like the building on the basics of Asteroids! It was a litle confusing what bits where materials to me at first, a UI element that shows what they look like would be helpful (but I figured it out!). I ran out of fuel so I didn't do too well but I liked it! The rotation speed is annoyingly slow, though, I'd speed that up a bit. If you were trying to go for realism, spin boosters or something would assist that. Otherwise, I liked it!
First of all, this games' presentation is impressive! Very well polished. Secondly, it was kind of addicting! I caught myself playing it for a bit longer than intended. It is fun! It was awkward at first to get used to the harvesting mechanic, but I evntually caught on and it led me to survuve longer, of course :) nice to see the theme not necessarily the goal but rather aiding to the true aim of the game. unique!
DALL-E's commentary was the beast part of the game! The gameplay loop is kind of repetitive, with just walking and going to the freenix harvesting spots. The enemies should have a clearer attack animation rather than just kind of jumping, but otherwise I thought they were fine. Even though it was kind of empty, I liked the atmosphere. The bump map really sold the desert sands! Good work :3
Liked your game in concept! Mixing harvesting with platforming is engaging gameplay! I didn't realize at first that the spot you plant was important so I was speeding by, emptying souls, so I didnt actually grow any plants! The inputs feel nice and responsive, however the key layout is odd. Jump should be mapped to UP, I think, since that feels more natural, or SPACE. And I think having WASD controls would help a lot, too, since people are much more used to that. However, still a fun and cute game! good work!
The game was a really cute concept! Death as a computer voice was pretty hilarious! Game was a little buggy, for some reason when I started the first time it wouldn't let me move so I had to restart. An option to skip the cutscene or restart would be a nice addition. The only other issue is the run speed gets a little too fast, makes it difficult to control. Otherwise, I had a lot of fun and the voice acting was really fun to listen to!
Art style was both adorable and epic. A little confusing to understand at first, especially since the game starts in the gave and not at the town board. Otherwise, fun premise and I enjoyed trying all the different strategies to not get caught! (i was not very good lol)
