Very nice concept and well executed!  I had a lot of fun playing this.

Thank you for the feedback!

204 seconds, so close to 200 :(

A very solid execution of an arcade-style game, I liked the balance of managing the tomatoes, boars and rats. I can see where there is added difficulty if you're trying to go fast.

Really had a fun time, great job!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it :)

Very nice work! I kept mistaking spacebar for jump but other than that I loved this game! 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! What controls you can recommend for Player 1: Jump (Space) / Hit ( ? ) and Player 2:  Jump ( ? ) / Hit ( ? )? I can improve it in the next version :)

I not gonna ask why the main character literally genocide these rats with his axe instead of placing some poison baits:) Actually a good game with nice pixel art style. I didn't find any bugs.Actually this can be a little confusing at first because usually space is for jump, so i was chopping everything  until got used to the controls

Developer

Thanks! Haha, he doesn't care from what he will make a ketchup :)

What controls in your opinion will be the best? It will be 2 players game, so I need to set up Player 1 : Jump (Space),  Hit ( ? ) and Player 2: Jump ( ? ), Hit ( ? ). I have more experience in mobile gaming, so not sure about the best practices on desktop))

Thanks in advance!

for singleplayer i usually use keys that close to WASD like E,Q,R,F. for 2nd player you can use numpad (if you have one), there is no space key for this player, but i think jump is okay with W, just remove hit from space, so if the player accidentally press it, he won't have to wait until the chop end.

So the best way is just make a control settings menu so players can themselves choose the best. But here is good standart

1st player:

A,D - move

W -jump

R - chop

2nd player:

NUM_PAD4, NUM_PAD6 - move

NUM_PAD8 - jump

NUM_PAD7 - chop

Developer (1 edit)

My keyboard even doesn't have NUM_PAD block xD

I've investigated a few popular web platformers and some of them are using the following:

Will check a few more. Thanks anyway!

Pretty cool game!

203 secs on my second attempt!

Nice result! Thanks for sharing :)

The controls feels nice and polished and the gameplay is simple yet entertaining. As others mentioned the speed could be higher or there could be a possibility for upgrade for either the tomatoes or time. Overall an enjoyable game. Good job.

Developer

Thanks, I'll will make it faster :)

Submitted(+1)

I wish the player moved faster or you had a count for killed rats. But super solid game, not a whole lot of notes

Developer

Thanks!  I'll improve it in the next version :)

The atmosphere is charming and the game is nice overall ! My only critique is that the gameplay feels a bit slow.
Good job !

Developer

Thanks!  I will increase the speed in the next version :)

Got 230s, apparently I'm very slow from reading other comments :p
Game looks very nice and controls well. Could be expanded on with a upgrade system if you wanted to continue it : carry more tomatoes, have more tomatoes growing at once, etc... 

Thanks for playtesting my game on discord! I did end up making the inventory more visible (and added a background)

Developer

Thanks for playing and suggestions! I think 230 is not bad at all, I'm slow as well haha) Will be happy to pass your game one more time :)

Submitted(+1)

Solid game. Really got into it after a few seconds. Made sure I killed that boar every time! The player physics stand out with my only critique being that all you air momentum gets killed if you stop holding forward before you jump

Developer

Thanks! Will try to improve controls in the next version

I agree with the other user. The game is very polished and fun to play.

I agree B1nus, very polished. Liked the overall mood, the music fits well the game.

Wow, I can't get less 200. Haha xD

The game is very polished for a Gamejam game!

Thanks for playing ;)

I think this game was well executed, but not innovative.  The art is cohesive as is the audio.  If you wanted to expand this, I would like to see the ability to pick up more tomatoes and something indicating the tomatoes are about to be ripe.  Animating the tomato plants would also be a good improvement.

Developer

Thanks

I like it. Movement is nice, although a bit hard to spot rats

Developer

Thanks you for the feedback :) Yeah, hitting rats with axe should be difficult  XD
