Impossible to get all the rain drops, due to speed of player. Just make it faster. Some other ideas to make it more interesting:
- only when acid rain hit a flower should remaining hitpoints decrease.
- only the gray box should collide with the rain drops, not the whole player
Overall the raindrop placement coupled with the player's speed were really problematic. Often you were to far away to catch them. To change the game flow a bit, you could maybe vary the raindrop speed or make it so every once in a while you get a water raindrop that heals the plants if it hits the ground so you have to avoid it.
I'm also not sure how the score works. The value increasesd every few raindrops in an unpredictable way.
The graphics weren't bad. Maybe some more sound effects could have helped though, but other than that good job!
Thanks for your feedback! I like the healing rain drop idea, and when I go back to this game, I will change the system for how the rain drops fall. The score adds one point when you collect a rain drop, so unless there's a bug that I haven't seen that's how the score system works. What other sound effects would you think be good for the game?
This isn't a "Terrible Game" at all. Would recommend adding some sound, because if there was any I couldn't find a way to get it to play. Also, some of the raindrops were physically impossible to catch, so maybe adding something to detect a possible raindrop spawn location would be cool. Overall cool game and great for your second trijam ever!
Thanks! The "terrible Game" thing was just a joke that I must not have removed. There was some music and one sound effect but that was it. Thanks for playing!
Of course!
Nice work. adding a little screen shake would add a nice little touch to it.
I didn't think about that, Thanks for your feedback!
