This game is great! The depth of systems/progression, the style/sound, the controls and responsiveness, everything is top-notch! I really enjoyed the balancing of building a well-producing farm vs not overwhelming yourself with enemies. There were several times as I was planting crops I was hating myself for making things so difficult, yet loving it at the same time. Tons of fun, great job!
Thank you for the positive feedback! The progression and game balance were playtested alot so I'm glad they feel rewarding.
This is the absolute best game I've played in the jam so far, and it looks hard to top. Fluid shooting gameplay mixed with light strategy and consistent progression. This brought out my inner old-school FPS gamer in a way few games do. Fantastic work!
That means alot to us! I'm happy we managed to capture that old-school feeling.
Super fun game. Really addicting. Playing made me want to unlock all of the plots and get as far as possible, but it seems I am just not skilled enough and got wiped before that point a couple times. Fantastic job
I appreciate that! Yeah, the difficulty can ramp up pretty quickly if you plant too much too soon. Thanks for playing.
Had a blast playing thing
I'm glad you had fun. Thanks for playing.
Great idea and execution! A lot of fun as well, would keep playing this as it develops! Also neat trick with the sprite facing fence posts :p
Thank you for your kind words! We tried to use billboard sprites in the game world whenever we could to keep that old-school feel :)
Very impressive and extensive in content for a 2 week jam. Great job!
Much obliged! Thanks for playing.
the industrial revolution and its consequences on my frames. Amazing game, I really enjoyed it! You had a great idea and an even better execution. I had no idea the how well big HTML games could run too!
That's alot of sentries you got there. It's always fun to see people push games to their limits. I'm happy to hear you liked it!
This is so cute and silly, I love it. Nice idea.
Thanks a bunch! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
This really stands out. I had an absolute blast playing this! The game loop is well implemented, and everything feels quite polished for a jam. The difficulty curve feels more or less spot on.
Incredibly impressive work. Well done!
Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you liked it.
Wow! This game really stands out. It feels super, super polished. Well done!!!!
I'm happy to hear that. Thanks for playing!
Great game, everything works well and the guns are satisfying to use! Minor nitpicks/improvements would be to add screenshake, make the enemies detect you from further away so you cant cheese them, and make the final boss harder. Loistava peli!
I appreciate the feedback. I totally agree on those 'nitpicks'. Didn't realize how long making the content would take so didn't have time to add that final game juice.
true, it's always tough to come up with a reasonable scope for the game that leaves time for polish. Great work nevertheless!
Yeah, that seems to be just enough of the sentry traps... Just barely XD
This was hands down one of if not the best game I've rated! This is like if plants vs zombies was in reverse, you plant your enemies. That mixed in with some QUAKE. Super creative, and super fun. Oh and ahem... I dont think thats how farming works ;)
Thanks for playing! Damn... walked right into that one :D
Well done - I didn't get to the pumpkin but I'm scared of what that would be. I like having the switch to control the differents modes of play.
Thanks for playing. The pumpkin is the boss fight of the game with it's own music. Hope you get too see it one day ;)
Hi OzMaister,
So, I've played the game again and this time to completion which is praise in itself :) Enjoyed the bad pumpkin in the sky!
A few things you could improve for sake of replayability (which I'm sure you're probably aware of):
I hope you appreciate the feedback. Really impressed by the game!
Oh I forgot my other feedback:
Thank you so much for the extensive feedback and playing again! You made some really good points. There are some things that we wanted to improve, but didn't have the time and some things that didn't come to mind at all. We might do a post-jam update with balance tweaks and your feedback will help alot. Thanks again!
Well executed with a great difficulty curve that gradually creeps up on you. Well done!
I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for playing!
This game was fantastic! Definitely my favourite game that I've rated so far.. Initially pulling the lever after planting some seeds and watching the sky go dark instilled a sense of dread.. and I wasn't sure why until I turned around to see an onion coming after me !
One of my friends said "would be cool if it had the building style of something like Orcs Must Die, with gridbased pathfinding so the traps work better". I haven't played that game so I'm not sure if I agree with him, but I thought I'd pass on his feedback (he also enjoyed it)
Had a lot of fun with it and I would definitely buy a full game based on this haha
Thanks for your and your friends feedback! Gridbased pathfinding is a good idea to think about. Orcs Must Die has a bigger grid size and more linear paths for the enemies so I don't know how well it would integrate into our game. Maybe I could just increase the effective area of the traps to make them work a bit better. Glad you had fun!
Man, this was good. You guys really used the 2 weeks well! I loved how well balanced the progression was, the personality you gave the frog, and the fact it was just the right length. I was confused for a minute wondering how to get more seeds, but after I pulled the chunky lever, I instantly understood what this game was. It's a dang good time. As I leveled up my garden with traps I could really start "farming" my enemies. The performance was taking a hit towards the end, but I'm so glad I got a better computer so I could play great 3D games like this! I really don't have any criticism, it's well balanced, paced, has a good presentation, and even a credits scroll. Great game!
That means so much to us! We spent the two weeks quite effectively, but could have used a couple more days to optimize the game some more.
Agreed - the frog getting more and more upset about being sold onion seeds was great! And a clever cue to the player to starting harvesting different enemies.
Super unique use of the theme and really fun gameplay! Really well made overall, I hope you expand on it in the future!
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you liked it.
Super fun game and looks excellent. The team should be proud!
Thank you! As I am half of the team I can confidently say we are proud :)
Nice shooting and interesting aesthetic.
Appreciated, thanks for playing.
