How does your game fit the theme?
Game starts with light rain (calm) that slowly escalates into a heavy downpour (storm), increasing the challenge over time.
Beside the narrative of a grill living in peace being interrupted by a storm and fighting it, there also exists the contrast between the calm upgrade sequence and its transition to a literal storm.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, all of the code and art are done by me and all of the audio assets were done by my teammate Fatih Anıl Yıldırım.

Super polished with great game feel! Played all the way through it.
Too addictive, I played for an hour straight. Very good game loop with the upgrade system alongside the upgrades being very unique. 10/10
very polished addictive game!
omg, it's so addictive! awesome gameplay, thanks for the experience!
Very adictive! 10/10 would break my mouse again
Honestly super fun and addicting. The simple art with post processing is just a treat for the eyes and the gameplay is pretty cool, though it gets a bit frustrating as I feel the progress should be faster. Amazing job!
This is an excellent game. Great game design, incredible game loop. The graphics are nice and simple as is fine for a game jam. Fits the theme really well. I played this for much longer than I expected to.
Almost was a 5/5 from me. Here are my recommendations:
- Fix the stutters, they were very noticeable and hindered play.
- Seems like drops don't evaporate when you move too fast. Make sure the collision detection is nice and fast and is done each frame.
- Music is boring and way too repetitive. Pick a tune that's has a faster beat. Check out the kind of music similar games have.
- Better sound effects. Grab a variety. It's like there's one identical sound for clicking on UI and for evaporating raindrops.
Well done!
Thank you for the detailed feedback, I am really happy that you enjoyed the game!
Any particular events or moments that happen when stutters show up? I am pooling every droplet and the pools are only created during a levels load and haven't gotten this sort of feedback before so may I also ask for your computers specs?
It is done every frame, I think droplets with high health or the immunity frames on the drops (which is not really frames but just 0.1 secs) might be the cause of that feeling. If not, you are likely correct and it is because I am circle casting around the target position every frame but I did not consider the area between the current position and the last frames position. I am noting this.
About the sound effects, I also received complaints about the music being too fast and not relax enough. I am not saying there is no space for improvement but I'd say they are more about personal preference so no song can satisfy everyone,.
I hope they were not a big annoyance, it is not a solution but there is always volume options that are accessible at nearly every point of the game if thats the case.
As a final note, did you play the WebGL build or the Windows build? Buttons' sounds are broken on web because of how Unity compresses super short sounds and I could not get them replaced fast enough.
As the actual final note, I might have sounded defensive while I tried to answer all of your feedback/criticisms but that was definitely not my intention, I really do appreciate everything you wrote, to me it shows how much you cared. Thank you.
Grafikler ve ses bayağı hoş olmuş. Upgrade kısmında biraz okuma zorluğu çektim, tam ne nerde anlamam biraz vakit aldı, onun dışında ellerinize sağlık.
Bir tek şey eklemek istiyorum, tıklayarak oynandığı için orta kısma tıklarken ikidebir try again'e tıkladım yanlışlıkla, orada try again'i en çok tıklanan yere değil de başka bir yere alsanız daha rahat olur sanki :3
Oyunu beğenmene sevindim.
Try again butonuna yanlışlıkla tıklamak sol fareye basılı tutarak veya invert controls upgrade'i ile kaçınılabilecek bir durum aslında ama dert etme tek senin başına gelen bir durum değil, jam sonrası muhtemelen ilgilenirim :)
Feedback için sağol.
good gaame
super interesting game! its so visually pleasing and relaxing to play!
Enjoyable and relaxing game. The graphics are clean and nice to look at. The only note I can point out is the UI of the skills, I would have avoided having to mouse over each single skill to see what it does and the cost, but rather have the information already on the screen. Idk if it's a bug, but after I bought the drop scale upgrade, not all of the drops were larger. Overall great work!
edit: I'll appreciate it if the already-bought upgrade shows what he does.
I am glad you enjoyed the game and thank you a lot for the feedback.
Definitely somethink to think about. Ideally I'd have better and unique icons that convey what skills do and additional information about their pricing.
I agree not being able to see maxed skils' information is annoying. Even I find myself refunding skills just to see what they do if they are maxed out which is certainly a design problem.
Very addictive game and a nice consistent style throughout.
It is a very cool and addicting game（￣︶￣）↗

Very simple game but very addicting, upgrades feels nicely paced and rewarding. Excellent job!
Addictive game, had to pull myself away from it!

This is by far the best game jam game I have ever played. Incredibly addictive, the upgrades are rewarding and for every single thing that annoyed me in the game there was an upgrade that fixed it. Thats just great game design. Nice color scheme and game feel, I literally have nothing negative to say.
I PLAYED TOO MUCH! Got to the end in normal difficulty and now my eyes hurt. GREAT GAME! Well done :P
