This was a really neat puzzle game that gets really hard. I liked the presentation and humor a lot. I do wish with some of the puzzle there was an autowalk as pressing spacebar a bunch after solving was tedious.
Really great twist on a class genre. You did a great job explaining what to do. Each level was a fun puzzle to solve.
haha the story took a few turn I wasn't expecting. It was funny. I do feel like the key could have come a little faster when mashing the keyboard.
Fantastic presentation. Music and Art were great. I loved how the music changed as you swapped in and out musicians. Managing both the crowd comments and music was a bit difficult to get a grip on. Still a great little experience for the jam.
It's been fun playing all the different plant games like mine. It's really neat to see how each team/person approached it differently.
I really like the guide and how you focus on taking care of the different plants. Super cute game.
I do wish you said somewhere that space bar was how to exit looking at a plant though. I eventually figured it out.
Loved the atmosphere here. Would love to see this taken a little bit further.
That was a ridiculous game. It was so difficult to balance everything and seeing everything exploding all the time while trying to throw a pizza is great.
Great use of the theme. The different states of the party as you fail to keep it going is fantastic.
Great little 3d version of Flappy Bird. I like the dynamic obstacles to keep you on your toes. Good amount of challenge.
They have taken that Duck's children. Prepare to die. Lots of fun humor in the presentation. Very simple, but very fun.
You all did a great job. The whole presentation is there from story, to art, to audio, to gameplay. You took a simple click style game and made it unique and fun.
Really fun little mechanics. Easy to pick up, but the way you have enemies come in, gives it a lot of depth. Good job!
Presentation is great. Great graphics and audio. Nice little resource management game. Shooting was much more difficult than expected. The targeting was finicky. Still was a really great game to make.
Really neat little game. The title suggested I would be hearing guitar music which I was missing from this though.
Lot's of great humor in this. I laughed a lot while playing it.
Adorable and simple. Great job getting all the pieces in to bring it all together.
Great job putting this together. It was a little difficult what some of the fixes were at first, but it added a good mix of stress and fun.
Great little game. Pretty difficult, but fair. It was a lot of fun and you nailed the retro vibe. I got some strong Wall-e vibes from the character as well.
Nice little game. Your attack particle felt offset and hard to understand at first.
Wow. There are so many little details here. It was so stressful to manage everything, which mean I think it did its job. Great job.
Very simple, but effective. You do a good job with feedback every time you hit the meteors.
This got ridiculous in the most crowded areas.
It is rough, but that's where we all start. You should see some of my first game jam games haha. Great job finishing and submitting. Keep at it!
This was great! Nice use of the theme and a good twist to the puzzle platform genre. I enjoyed the level design you created to make the mechanics shine.
Love the look and feel of the game. It's a little difficult figuring out how everything works together as I failed twice, but for a jam this is great.
Nice use of theme with Greek mythology and great art style. Fun little platformer.
Really nice and polished little experience. I honestly wish I could have played more.
It's great seeing someone else taking the theme about taking care of plants.
It was a little difficult to know where my tools were at first, but then figured it out. Great use of art, animations, and sound. Really cute little game.
Really Fun retro vibe. Nice work.
Fun twist on the theme.
Really nice little puzzle game. It was really cute and I liked the combos with the animals.
We've all been there. But you completed a neat little game. The art style is great!
Really well polished. Nice little animations and sounds to bring it all together. Controls were a little difficult to pick up at first though.
@doodlebrisk I may have made the threshold for over-watering plants a little too low. No need to immediately water plants.
@png yeah sorry about that. There is a threshold that will kill your plants if you overwater, but it's way too low. You want to water when there are only a few water droplets, if you see a lot that means it has a lot of water.
@ohfiddlediddle Oh man I'm sorry. I wish I knew what was happening so I could help fix it. I'm guessing you don't have these problems in other UE4 games.
@bastian-bresson They do. I didn't get around to surfacing that information. More expensive plants generate more. More expensive pots multiply the plant generation more.
Hey @jason-woerner. The best info I could find is it could be one of two things. Either it didn't unzip properly or your antivirus is messing with the .exe I hope that points you in the right direction.
@jason-woerner thank you so much for the in-depth feedback. I really appreciate it. Yeah the watering mechanics could have been better, but it take like 30 minutes of real time for the plant to die so unless you're really taking time you won't see anything change. Overwatering may have been a bad idea. lol
thanks for the bugs, wish I had caught them a little sooner.
@crumblybread thank you so much. The music was just some good royalty free finds on the internet.
Thank you everyone for the feedback and comments. This was a great first LDJAM
Great job getting all the pieces in there. The effects, audio, physics are felt smooth. It's a fun little game.
This was great! Super simple and effective. Great used of the theme here. This was a fun little game.
