At first, the game was hard until I figured it out, after several trial and errors. Artwork is cute and fits the theme. I enjoyed the level difficulty increased as each season went by. I was waiting for a new item as the bench had an empty spot. Overall it was a fun experience.
Aw thanks for playing radataz! nice to see you here hehe. we want to expand the game to have more items on the benches too, i'll let you guys know when it's updated!
Nice execution! I liked it. I goofed up my first try by not realizing that the berries were what would shoot. having the bee barrier on the back row was not smart of me. But I did much better on the next run
thanks for playing our game! It's all about finding the strategy that works for you! :- )
Very cool game.
I am a big fan of Plant vs Zombies this is a lot of fun to play :)
thank you so much for playing! ^.^
I did not quite get how to play it, but I love the art-style and theme alot.
Good Job!
Thanks for the kind words! The way to play is placing "towers" to defend i.e lane based tower defense. They have a cost, so you need to generate income (from customers) and then defeat/stall enemies with either tomatoes or honey pots to protect your stand. Hope that helps :), if you want some more guidance feel free to ask.
I was defending my stand from rats and thieves alike, but fellow farmers as well? I'm shook how low some people can go....
some people will stoop to new lows! "If my stand gets destroyed, everyone's stand gets destroyed' smh xD
Cool game! I really like the aesthetics and the gameplay. Good job! :D
thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it ^.^
Very fun game! The art was great and everything played very nicely. It was a nice spin on a well known game. Great work!
Thanks so much ^.^
Nice game! Though its a bit too much like Plants vs Zombies. Would be nice to see something different from them. For a game jam, its still a pretty well done game!
Thanks for playing! :)
Nice game and very similar to plants vrs zombies, which I really like. My only frustration was clicking to plant tomatoes, etc and nothing happens, cost me a few games there. Add more variety of defenders but overall this was good! :)
thanks for playing. With your clicking issue, is that different to the bug warning we listed? I'd be intrigued if you had issues placing tomatoes down if you have enough to buy them. The bug of not placing things down was when you could still afford the one you selected but couldnt afford a different one, it would unselect under the hood. So most commonly honey pots had this but could also happen with customers. Unselecting and reselecting fixes it (until we upload the fix post voting). Is your issue not this?
My strategy, if you can call it one, was to spam the customers to get a lot of gold, Id have the tomato selected with like 200 gold odd left and try and add it to a lane where enemies spawn, Id end up clicking the tomato, clicking the position, not work, click the tomato again, click the position, not work, click it again, the position, it worked, try somewhere else, not work. Not sure if it was unselecting/selecting and then I was unselecting but the placement failed. Was a little inconsistent... Then Id panic click as the enemy got closer... I was at level 3 when this ended up ending the game
ok, I will try see if I can reproduce it based one what you just said. I might have to just bite the update bullet to fix it, if it's like this. As that sounds less acceptable than lead to believe.
I can't reproduce your described problem (using web build). When buttons are highlighted blue that means they are selected. Can you confirm that you had 200 coins, selected tomato (highlighted blue), and tried inserting one tomato and it didn't work? Perhaps, can you play again reproducing this situation to confirm (I know it's asking a lot for you to try again)? The closest I get is having 200 coins and trying to insert a bunch of tomatoes, eventually I couldnt afford more and so the button gets disabled/unselected stopping you inserting more. With high gold income this "running out of gold" can be a brief moment. But that doesn't sound like your description, so I'm trying to understand better. Thanks for your feedback/help :)
UPDATE: I have updated it to fix the selection issue others reported, as this seems to actually be impacting the experience. If you're able to try test to see if you issue still exists that would really be appreciated. If not, no worries :)
I keep getting this error message: The developer has not uploaded a game yet...
oh shoot, it looks like something went wrong when uploading. i'll see if we can get that fixed ASAP, sorry!!
I re-uploaded the file and checked it (incognito) on two browsers just in case it cached something, and it works now! please check again and let us know if you still get the same error message. Thank you for letting us know about this issue, and sorry again!
Hey yes, this cleared up my issue. Thank you for your quick response!
Very FUN and UNIQUE idea on this game! AWESOME WORK!!! GREAT ART!!! NICE MECHANICS!!! This was a fun challenging game. Loved it.
thank you so much! ^.^
Fun little TD! I loved the farming theme. Strangely addictive (as seen from me finishing it!). The animations and soundFX are nice touches.
I have some issues where clicks weren't registering, but its not major. Would have loved to see more turret types!
My basic strategy was to spam as many farmers as I can, then spam tomatoes. My primitive brain enjoyed seeing the gold roll in!
Solid fun!
I'm glad to hear you found it addictive haha. The bug fix for the click will be uploaded after the jam is over. And we definitely have ideas for more turrets/units to add to the game that we couldn't due to the time constraints of the game jam haha. You had a great strategy too! Thanks for playing our game :- )
Thanks for playing and the great feedback! ^.^ My primitive brain is equally "oooohhh moneeeyyy" xD haha
We decided to bite the bullet and update the fix before voting ends because it does seem to be impacting peoples experience .
If you get a chance to re-test and let us know if the clicks are still a problem that would be really appreciated :)
Cool idea for a game! Like the aesthetics a lot. Those rats are mighty powerful.
Thanks for playing!
Fun game. artwork tied together well too
Thank you for playing ^.^
Really fun Plants vs Zombies style game :) Really love the low res pixel art style for it too. Could really expand out if you wanted to keep working on it, would be fun to play more of :)
thank you!! we have plans for expansion, so we are looking forward to be able to update once the game jam rating period is over!
