Cool game! I really like the mechanic of dodging when the arrows show up. Very fun!
That was the most intense seed simulator I've ever played. I finished with just under 30 seconds on the clock. I don't have anything negative to say, I really liked this game!
Thank you!
I love pixel art games like this! Interesting puzzle/reaction mechanic - my only suggestion would be to explain the game through gameplay rather then having all that text.
You are right! In my first game I created I had 3 different pages of tutorials which definitely was super boring. This I improved a little bit, but I still have much to work on. Thanks for playing my game!
Really simple and fun game! The tutorial at the start was vague at first, but when I hit the first mine it was clear what to do. Great music and sound effects, as well as visuals. Good Job!
Thank you!
I like this game!
It's fun and quick-paced, and also not too overly-difficult. I like the story and art; it's cute and charming.
My only problems with the game is how the yellow mine is a tad too punishing; maybe having the forks be a bit more spaced apart? Also, at the end of the game, I think it should say "YOU WON!" rather than "GAME OVER!". Having a written conclusion for the story would also be nice.
Overall; really fun game! I enjoyed it.
Both points are very valid! Thank you for playing!
Fun and simple game! Good job
Thank you sir!
Super cool game! I love it. The art is simple yet efficient and the gameplay feels very nice!
i just have troubles seeing the relation to the theme.
Keep it up!
Thank you for playing! The connection to the theme is not as strong as I hoped, but I edited the description to say why I feel like it fits decently enough.
Such a lovely little game! The art and music is fantastic and the gameplay was simple but very satisfying. I really enjoy playing this! Great job!
Thanks Bro!
Music and art are very very good. I loved playing through, even though the timer might be a bit loose as you can just rush and keep dying and still make it out ahaha
Nonetheless, that was good and a good concept !
Thank you! You are right about being to force to just a little. Next time, I probably should just have the timer deduct a certain amount after you get hit instead of respawning.
Give this satisfaction feeling! Music and art are also spot on! Well Done!
Thank you so much!
Pretty fun game! I'm not sure I like that the mines are left behind when you go back to your checkpoint, but perhaps that's only because my reflexes suck and I kept going back. Other than that, I really like the art style and it's a pretty fun simple game. My only question is how it fits into the theme.
Thank you for playing! I updated my description to explain how I believe it can fit the theme.
one of the most satisfactory i've played, great job!
music is awesome, the tutorial and checkpoints are neat. thank you for your game
Thanks man!
Great game! And the idea is very creative and i loved the background music!
I appreciate it!
Great game! And the idea is very creative and i loved the background music!
The pots controls felt great! I loved the hopping mechanic it was fun just jumping around.
The main thing that bugged me was that there was no real effect or animation when you died, you just kinda got bonked and teleported back with no real feel of impact to it. I think if you added an animation or even just some particle effects it would go a long way.
I would also randomize the mines so they aren't the exact same every time. It would add some replayablility.
Other then that I enjoyed it! I'm not really sure how it fits into the theme but aside from that great work!
Thanks! You are right about a lack of animation in some areas of the game. I wanted to implement them but I ran out of time sadly. Also, I updated the description of the game to explain how I believe the game fits into the theme.
The gameplay was super inventive! The idea of playing as a bag of grain is especially cute, lol. I really liked the game, and cant seem to find much wrong with it. Felt a little like those dancing games in arcades. Nice work!
Thank you so much!
I like the music and the visuals.
the blue mine is a bit insignificant since you can just walk away from it normally, and I don't know how exactly does this fit to the theme.
aside from that it's a good game 😁
Thanks! Yea the blue mine is a little easy I could probably of increased the difficulty. Also, I updated the description to describe how the game can fit into the theme.
Love the gameplay! but i suggest you should just restart the scene. and make every mine random to make a bit of diversity. and also a snappy movement on the pot would make the gameplay more nicer!
Randomization is a create idea! Thank you.
Great game!
Thank you!
Love the gameplay! With some refinement it could become a good reaction based game! One piece of feedback I have is I'm not sure how it hits the theme of the jam
Thank you! I updated the description to explain how it can fit the theme
