Any chance on getting this one as web version (or for mac)? Looks nice but I don't have a Windows PC  😔

Developer

I'm sorry I thing I won't have the time for a MacOS export :/

And the HTML5 export didn't work because some plugin doesn't support it.

The premise is silly and charming, and I love it. Also, this is very polished for just a three day jam – it just feels nice to play. Really good stuff here!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!

"Silly" is the word :')

This is great! Lovely art and music, made it to the 300s and I will continue playing in the future.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you like it :)

(High score is at 1300 atm!)

Wow! This is actually really fun to play, and it seems like there's a fair bit of depth here. And the amount of polish and juice in this is off the charts. The art and music are lovely and professional, the writing is funny and sets the tone well, and everything seems really solid (I didn't encounter any bugs or other hiccups).

My compliments to all three of you, it seems like you each hit a home run! Great job!

Thanks! To be honest, I can't stand the music I've done anymore given all the debugging and iterations we've done during the weekend. I guess this is the price to pay!  We've also written a lore description for all cards you can pick up in the game. Sadly it didn't make it through because of time :') there was some (I hope) cool puns in it.

Thanks for playing our game. 👽❤️

Submitted(+1)

That's a shame, honestly, although I get the feeling. After marinating in my project over the past weekend, I definitely just ... kind of hate what I've made, sadly.

Regardless, I know folks always say this sort of thing a lot while giving jam feedback, but seriously -- y'all should consider incorporating the stuff that didn't make the cut due to time constraints and releasing a revised version of this, it's a ton of fun to play!

Submitted(+2)

Very cool idea nicely executed. The soundtrack and art are great. Gameplay is also cool. Maybe some sort of progression in things you can place would have made it better because after a while it feels like you are doing the same stuff over and over but otherwise very good!

Submitted(+2)

This. Game. Is. Incredible. An absolute winner for me! Everything from the get go was just so intuitive. I love LOVE that you have a lil radio to change tunes while you play this game. Everything about it makes it such a vibe. Seriously incredible work guys!

Developer

Thanks. A. Lot.

It mean a lot to us, we're so glad when a player like what we've made.

It wasn't our first jam, and we can feel the progress year after year which is super satisfying!

Submitted(+2)

an interesting game) true, I did not fully understand the essence, but it was interesting) music and gameplay can attract!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing! :)

Submitted(+2)

Are you planning to add a web build or a way to download on the itch app?

Developer(+1)

It's done! :)

Submitted(+2)

Cool game, super fun!

Developer

Thanks!

Bravo pour ce jeu ! C'est hyper clean de A à Z, bravo pour avoir fait ça en 72h !

Petit hic : je trouvais ça frustrant de ne pas commencer par poser des humains sachant que les premiers items rapportent pas de points sans humain ^^' (à moins que j'ai mal compris)

(+2)

Merci pour le feedback! Effectivement c'est pas la première fois qu'on retrouve ce retour, on a peut être une solution élégante en tête!

Submitted(+2)

Eh bien je suis curieuse de voir ça ^^

Developer(+1)

Hyper clean c'est l'exact opposé de mes nuits de sommeil durant la Jam... et merci pour le compliment ! :D

On va regarder tous les retours mais celui-ci est déjà revenu plusieurs fois en effet.

Submitted(+2)

Love the game! Five stars in all categories.

Waoh! Thanks a lot.

A very good game and quite the addictive one ! The musics are very chill especially the funky one ! Overall, the game mechanics is really interesting and it gets very challenging as we continue to play ! Very good work !

Developer

Thanks a lot! Glad you like it :)

Un jeu hyper interessant, avec un gameplay très soignée, de très beaux graphismes et une OST qui colle parfaitement à l'ambiance du jeu. Très impressionnant, surtout pour une Game Jam de 72h ! Très hâte de voir la suite de vos projets (Another Door dans la Wishlist) ! ❤️

Developer(+2)

Merci pour ton commentaire ça fait plaisir :)

Content que le jeu te plaise !

(Merci pour la Wishlist, ça nous aide énormément ❤️)

Dude you were right this game is so awesome I love the strategy and this game in general please make this a full game.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks for the kind words and for playing the game!

Let's wait for the results of the game jam before embarking on an adventure like this!

Submitted(+2)

I like the unique concept of the game, it's like a farming simulator but with humans xD. The music and design are really well done and fit perfectly. The only criticism I have is that I had trouble installing the game and it would reach a wider audience with a web version. All in all, I really enjoyed your game!

Thanks for rating our game ^^

Developer(+1)

We've tried the web version but some of the libraries we use don't work with HTML5 export :(.

I've upload the game to the official itch.io app, which make it easier to install on your computer now!

Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+2)

Well polished game provoking thoughts about modern-day problems of dopamine driven lives and the destruction of the environment. I like the design and the synergies between the Assets. One thing I would have liked is to see the range of the Asset before I select it or a way to revert the selection, as I often found that I picked asset which range wasn't working for me.  Also RnG wasn't kind in most cases and I felt humans weren't popping up enough as a selection. maybe the humans could grow on their own around the map or from humans already present in the level to guarantee having humans around?

Other than that a great game! really enjoyed abusing Fight Clubs with reactivation. :D

"really enjoyed abusing Fight Clubs with reactivation" 🎯 This is the way!

Thanks for playing the game and for your helpful feedback, Antti!

One idea we had was to "force" the first card choices with human packs in it, but there is undoubtedly something to dig into and think about here.

Submitted(+2)

Maybe the human packs could have heavier weight on random selection, reversely correlating on the amount of humans already on the level. This way the player isn't forced into a choice and the game will never run out of human packs when the player needs them the most.

That's a really good idea, thanks Antti
