I want to play again with my game boy advance..
Otherwise, really great retro game style. The combats are smooth and the idea with the plants is fun. I put (involontary) 2 pots on the same position. I didn't find how to move one so it would be great to have this feature.
Ah that’s unfortunate, I thought I implemented stuff to combat overlapping press but there must be a bug. I’m glad you enjoyed it and thanks for playing :)
The art style has a retro feel, great
Really nice concept ! Could perfectly be turned into a commercial release with more balancing. Does it ever end ?
Thank you! It does end. After 10 levels there’s a boss fight which when you beat it the game is complete. I definitely made it too long for a jam game but oh well :)
I'll check it out then. Thanks !
Good luck!
very cool game! I really like it but the only thing I wanna say is this game have relatively slow movement speed of the player and it makes combat tedious and unnecessarily challenging at times due to how close you need to be to attack.Also,the sound distract when you are focus on the game and it is kind of annoying even if I low the volume.Apart of all of that is a very cool game.Good job!
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll keep that in mind going forward about the sound effects. Also yeah I should have had a dash or something to speed up movement but forgot to add it in the end. Next time :)
This is super well polished. I am especially a fan of the pixel art style you went with. Everything fits in a cohesive theme and really makes the simplistic world design come together. My only real gripes with the game involve the relatively slow movement speed of the player. Because of how slow the player moves it makes combat tedious and unnecessarily challenging at times due to how close you need to be to attack in conjunction with the speed of the projectiles shot by slugs. This could be easily tweaked, and as such I do not think it harms the package as a whole. Overall you have showcased a strong understanding of cohesive game design and polish. Great work!
This is really encouraging :) Thank you so much! Great game on your part too!
Nice work! Intersting combination of genres :D.The art is top notch and movement feels pretty good.I got confused at the farming part at first but managed to learn it.My only complaint is the sound effect they distracted me while i was focusing :/ also sometimes UI follows the camera late and that shakes the UI.Other than these i think you did a pretty good job loved it :D
Thank you :). Noticed that about the ui alright but couldn’t fix it. The sound effects can be a bit loud but I hoped the volume control would alleviate it if it bothered people. Thanks for the feedback and glad you liked it!
Good Job! Great Idea on mixing farming games and a Roguelike. Although, I would say that the farming system is a bit confusing on how you should die first before being able to access it. The art style is amazing! The sound design for the sound effects are really well done but I think the thumping noise from the music is a bit too distracting and a little too loud. Overall great job on the idea and execution. Good luck on your next projects!
Thanks for the feedback. It’s interesting to hear that about the farming system. Good point on the thumping. I hadn’t realised that. Thank you for playing :)
This is beautiful! Really amazing work. I love the art style and the game play feels great. I think the pots mechanic is clever and the action of the slashing feels tight. Well played.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you :)
Nice idea for the theme, and nice crunchy combat :)
Thanks for playing :)
If you have a chance please check my game out and leave it a review :)
I really like the Graphics and music, the fighting is fun as well.
Good job!
Cheers! :)
Yeah, we found that being able to slash the bullets made it too easy but we may have made it a little too hard. Thanks for the feedback :)
Great game, simple easy and fun. I like art and gameplay. Nice! Good job!
Please check my game as well ;)
Thank you!! I will :)
Cool idea.
A bit slow paced though. Wish there was a way to speed things up, like sprinting or so on.
Thumbs up!
Thanks! and yeah that’s a fair point :)
Love this idea, the art style compliments it very well . Really like the music and sfx too, great job! :)
Thank you for playing! :)
The game is quite chanlleging. It have very nice graphics and animations. The idea of plants giving you stats is really nice.
The games is really hard at first but the extra starts from plants makes it easier as you go :) thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback
I really enjoy the gameplay, I would enjoy seeing the same idea on a larger scale, growing plants with materials you get from enemies, and plants give you abilities/stats. Fun game!
There’s definitely a lot that could be done with this. It was hard enough keeping it small enough to do in one weekend. Thank you for playing!
Enjoyable game, really like the retro art style, gameplay is smooth & makes sense, perhaps if developed further adding other attack types would be great. But overall an enjoyable experience
Thanks for playing and the feedback is very much appreciated :)
