Really fun, very visually polished and the gameplay is simple but just deep enough that it doesn't get old. I know you mentioned it in your description, but I really think the only thing this game is missing is sound, I also wish you could see your kill count as well as number of mutations on the leaderboard. My highscore was 15 mutations with around 1200 kills
Very cool game! Really like the art and ascetic. The gameplay is fun an can keep you playing for a long time
What I noticed though, that the player isn’t that relevant if you get a few plants/towers to help you out. So you maybe need to look into that (maybe add upgrades for the player?)
Overall a very nice and polished game :)
i mentioned this earlier, but i do wanna come back and add different classes of mutants that you can pick from, and one of these would be plants that will give the player bonuses to make them stronger, didnt have time for it though because thats just how game jams are
Great aesthetic! I loved how you can grow little friends to help you fight. The game just needs a little music to get the party going!
The game is awesome! I wish it had sounds and music, but everything else is done just perfect.
Loved the art and really enjoyed the gameplay loop, quite addicting you might say! Great game, good job!!!
I really liked the art. The gameplay is also as fantastic as art. Different enemy types make the game way more enjoyable.The thing that I don't like is that the player gets weaker (has less impact on the game). It would be cool if you could choose the mutation type or some sort of upgrade (even if that doesn't give you some good advantage). Well done!
i think if i were to come back, i would make some mutants give bonuses to the player and/or let the player pick between 3 mutants, but with the deadlines of the jam i was only able to add pretty simple entities which is just the nature of a jam
i have a question for the community and the devs: what is everyone's high score (kill count)? mine is 545.
obviously mine doesnt count as the dev, but this is my personal best
the 2nd is like 15 mutations this is very much a fluke
Really beautiful game, I wish I had your pixel art skills !
It took me a while to understand that some bullets are friendly.
it takes time but you can get there, for reference this was one of my first arts from 5 years ago, practice *does* make perfect
Cool! Finally can kill some bees
Too soon
Looks amazing and the feels very satisfying to play
As many folks have said, very pretty but no sound!
While the gameplay is fun, there is a lot to be desired as far as clarity goes. I couldn't easily tell what mutations I was getting outside of things like the pea-shooter or spike plants. I would've liked to see some text pop-up when I completed a mutation with maybe a little blurb on what I gained.
The game seemed to get too difficult too quickly, which it understandable. Balance is tricky during game-jams.
You're a very talented pixel-artist, and should be proud of what you've made here! Great job!
Amazing aesthetics all that it needs is sound.
Such a beautiful game!
the aesthetics are very cool. but its sad that there is no audio.
very nice game but It's a real shame there's no audio, really nice art syle and animations
It's sadly really missing audio but the game feels great and looks awesome too
Amazing level of visual & gameplay polish, but the lack of sound really takes away the 'oomph' that I was craving from an enemy massacre game like this. A little hard to see enemy bullets when the screen gets filled up. Love the variety of bullets, enemies, and the graphics are amazing. I know you were pressed for time, making this even more of an impressive achievement. I also like how the health bar is tomatoes haha. Great job on this entry!
Cute little game, with simple mechanics to understand and man, i love this art style :) Sounds and Music would improve the game a lot, but i know, there is no much time in a Game Jam :)
Really cool game! I liked the visuals a lot! The gameplay is also quite fun!
