I love the art on this very original game.
I really enjoyed it! I really liked the artstyle and music since they remind me of Winnie the Pooh and they blend in together perfectly. Well Done!
Absolutely loved the art, music and atmosphere of the game! I would actually like to know how you animated the hog in the game if you don't mind sharing. Either way, great game, and please check out my game when you have the chance :)
The artist did most of the animating so I can't say exactly what he did, but from what I understand, he rigged up the sprite using an external software and animated the bones in Unity. He made animations for running, getting ready to charge, charge running, digging, rearing, etc. Then I made attack animations on a parent object to make the boar move while playing the right rig animations at the right times.
Yes, I actually rigged the hog using unitys 2d tools which are already great combined with the PSB importer. To rig it yiu ofc need different parts of it on layers but then its quite easy to animate.
The art is amazing, the game is really fun to play... Just well done !
Wow, what a gorgeous game! One of the best I played yet, and also the music fits really well. Good job!
AMAZING ART! WOW! I really loved the mechanics in the game, very simple yet very effective. This boss was VERY difficult which I didn't expect (I did manage to beat him first time though on 1 HP left quite lucky) The attack patterns just kept getting harder and harder, I learned how to adapt for each one but sometimes I wasn't quick enough haha, very impressive for a 48 game jam, a lot of polish and funny twist to a regular Hero saves Queen type of game! Amazing music too and very fitting SFX for every action! Great job!!!!
I relate to the hero in this pic
Shhh, Spoilers!
The art and audio all came together so nicely, very challenging game, love it. I love the way you need to be alert on both offense and defense at the same time. It felt like living in an actual oil painting. Very solid entry thank you for submitting !
Oh my GOD this is an amazing game!!! Took me two tries to win, and I loved every second of it! The visuals and music were great as well, would def play this again!
I love the art style and gameplay of this game! It has great potential. One suggestion I have is to consider adding a perfect dodge mechanic for an extra satisfying challenge. But overall, it's a job well done!
This was really neat! I thought having so many plants would be somewhat overpowered but the bull really can tear through em, REALLY interesting concept for character movement. It's cool that placing plants is an offensive and defensive tool since it can reliably avoid damage; kind of reminds me of a souped up version of barnacle in Neo Aquarium. Art is fantastic as well, a really quality entry overall!
Amazing visuals and the game play was straightforward but very engaging. I liked that the difficulty ramped up during the fight to make the ending pretty tense. Awesome Job!
Great game, it felt rather intuitive and was fun. I see that you can click a bud without having the mouse precisely on it and that's awesome!
Took me to tries to win
Awesome visuals! Awesome music! Cool concept with lot of potential!
Art style was really great, and the gameplay was fun and kept me on my toes.
Cheers to knight chillin in the flower field while his 'buddies' do all the work ;)
Well done
I like the art style and gameplay was fun
Amazing gameplay, art, and music... What can I say? Congratulations to the team, I loved it!
Awesome! The art style was for sure a treat :]
What a unique and well executed idea! If anyone is considering not playing this game because it requires a download, absolutely download it! The music and sound effects were great and the art style was a feast for the eyes. Great job.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
very fun core gameplay loop, loved the music, and animations!
I wonder if this will plant seeds to be developed in the future ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Good game, great animation/visuals. Music got me hooked from the first second.
I see what you did there ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
