A very impressive game. Good job.
This was an amazing experience! It looked really nice, and the way that you took the theme to making day and night 2 different types of games was very creative. The colours in the game were pleasing to look at, and the controls felt very good. Relaxing and fitting music.
But none of that is important, because whoever thought of putting a random dancing cow in the corner is a genius!
I said To my friend I know our game is nowhere near finished and there are more important things to do! But the cow I must have it... Noo he pleaded, Draw more icons he said! But alas The Cow was created!
This is slander.
Great progress! The dancing cow is a nice touch, good job.
I love the dancing cow! I had a really hard time understanding the controls but it looks like you guys put in a ton of work, nice job!
I can't play this as I don't have a windows PC, looking thought the screen shots it looks like you all put a lot of work into it, I love the screen shot of the tentacle coming out of the ground!
Did you have a go at downloading it? I'm actually very curious if it works on other platforms as I have no idea, myself and the others who worked on this use windows so I just assumed it would only work for that, but having some kind of confirmation would be nice!
Hello, just to confirm I just had a go at downloading it but the .exe doesn't do anything on Mac. My Windows laptop is locked down by work, I am not allowed to run anything not approved by the company on it. hope this helps
Ah no worries, thank you for clarifying!
Very well made, I had a bit issue with the wobly camera. But over all it was a plesant journey!
WOW, very nice game. I loved the dancing cow who give you a bunch of patties!
One of the best games in the current jam. Very good animations and mechanics. You need to make a complete game! Great job!
Honestly such a goofy game I enjoyed it quite a lot, but the spiders were ngl pretty disgusting and terrifying even without arachnophobia
The polish cow easter egg had me cracking up lmaooo (as a fellow Pole myself I adore this reference)
Too bad there is no insensitive to keep playing more or a goal, and saving does not work
haha we were working on the save system till the last minute but it still didnt want to work. sad vibes man :(
oh damn, you should have had something like EasySave 3, it really does make the process extremely straightforward
Unfortunately, it's not an option, since paid assets are not allowed for this Game Jam
Ok well, this is my first jam and I genuinely hope that I did not break any of their terms
Because I actually did use ES3, as well as Sirenix Odin Inspector because im just so used to working with it, the workflow is just amazing
I considered them tools and not assets but yikes now that I think about it
I figured out what was wrong with the save system like 20 minutes too late :c
The current version of the game has save system working perfectly fine, but we no longer can upload it, oh well
I mean they said that bugfixes and patches are fine, especially if its *game breaking*, no saving system is fine, but tbh you could try to patch this if you think it wouldnt break their terms
I already did a 1.0.1 patch that changed a unreadable font and also I made a WebGL port so that people that have to download if they dont wanna do that
can't believe that you made this game in 10 days well done!
farm game yet also an action game. unique combination of it. It feels confusing to know what to do / the objective of the game and how to do it. I also hard to recognize whether my attack to the spider is success or I miss. the art is pretty good. Good job for completing the game!
The game was a bit confusing to me cause i didn't know how to plant the crops so i think a tutorial would be very helpful. But i did enjoy how everything looked and smacking spiders and tentacles with a shovel, though i do think the attack animation is a bit to slow.
Good job!
i really enjoyed this one. gameloop is great. but i mostly enjoyed little things that gave it so much personality. crops look corrupted at night, and also that crops are rotated a bit, so they feel more natural. Oh, and get your damn chickens some therapist. Great job!
This game gets a 5 on aesthetics and sound. Don't think for a second that i haven't noticed the effort you've put in the details of this game. I am the type of player which likes exploring. And i have aexplored. Found the stanic chicken cult, the dancing in reverse cow. All the SFX you've used, for different weapons and attacks, getting hit, etc, makes the game feel put together very well.
What i recommend you do is scale the time sleeping someway. It can become uneventful the first nights, just waiting. Also, the light attack is so overpowered by the heavy attack that it doesn't make sense to use the light attack.
hehe thx for the High praise . So the Hoe is better at light attacks while the shovel is better at heavy attacks. But we wanted to make sure the Game was easy First and foremost.
Thank you so much for the high praise! We had a hard time balancing and with so little time we couldn't do all this and they also play test with others. So we just winged it and made sure the first night was easy with just one enemy... We definitely could have done a better job at telling people what the mechanics were but all in all this was a massive learning experience!
I really loved this, the nightmare colors looked fantastic and the gameplay was fun and interesting. The cow absolutely steals the show! great job on this!
It was a nice game..I can see the effort u put in. But the only thing i didnt like the camera. BTW liked the cow
Wow. Super impressed with the quality and polish here. I thought it was just a planting/farming game then went to bed and was pleasantly (and also frightened!) surprised. It took me a bit to figure out the controls but eventually got it ;) Great job!
Thank you so much for sticking it through!
Great mashup of genres! The visuals are excellent with all the details like the soil being full of skulls at night and the little tentacles and such decorating the fence.
The chickens were behind it all along! 🐔 And that cow is very chill about providing meat.
I'm not sure what to do with the meat, or if the items the enemies drop have any use. I could also go back to bed in the middle of a wave without any consequences that I could see, for example in the first wave I can skip the rest of the timer at around 1:56 and the second night I think it was with three minutes left.
yea we for sure needed to make a tutorial. Watching our friends play it was agony as we see them do the wrong thing. But hey such is game dev.
Pretty cool game! Love whacking enemies with the shovel!
oh wow, that's a really nice visual you have in the game, good job. would you try out mine and rate it according.
Of course!
