Cool game. Once I clicked the [?] button, all was more understandable.
There is some work to do with the UI:
- I did not like having to always switch from on screen to another.
- Some informations (stats) could be accessible on hover (not by clicking), the "not available" was annoying.
- Did have to abbreviate SPD for speed, and STA for stamina (there is enough place in the UI and it's more understandable).
Once this was ok, the game was fun, and with a massive bet on the right guy, I won.
Well done.
Hey, thanks!
We appreciate the detailed and valid feedback, if we continue with the project we will make sure to work on the points you mentioned
this was so different and fun I really enjoyed it, very creative 5/5
What a lovely game! Really enjoyed paying my debts off. Very cute art too!
Thanks for the kind words!
Okay, that game took longer than I normally would play for a jam, but it was fun! Took me a bit to figure out the timing; kind of wish races were more often simply because most of the time, I had no decision to make as the veggie would expire before the next race. Also, if you do turn this into a full game, I suggest an easy way to compare statistics between your current crops and the ones you pick. I had to exit out and do a lot of back and forth on that bit. I ended up paying off the debt only because I got an eggplant that crushed the competition in the final run where I bet it all. Great job all around!
Glad to hear you had fun!
We're not sure if this will become a full project. But I'm already working at least in a post-jam patch with some fixes and tweaks, so I'll take these into consideration. More frequent races is definitely something we'll experiment with, since it is the most engaging part of the loop.
Thanks for the feedback, we really appreciate it. :)
The combination of the harvest system and racing was a creative idea. Rooting for my veggies made me feel silly in a way (pun intended). Hat’s off to the amount of polish put in the game, the colours and dithering were aesthetically pleasing. I might have already mentioned this but I really loved how you implemented the farming aspect. Super fun! Hoping to see if this can be expanded into a full release.
Thank you!! We were sure aiming for maximum silliness as soon as we had the idea for illegal vegetable racing lol.
About the visuals, I've been playing so much UFO 50 lately, so I was really hyped to make something in an 8-bit aesthetic.
Glad you liked it!
This game was so fun! Really nice and relaxing. It would be cool if you did something more with this in the future! I could genuinely see this game be in the running for community winner. Good luck!
Thank you for the feedback! We're really glad people are enjoying it.
I think community winner might be too ambitious 😅 there are so many great entries in this jam.
But I appreciate the kind words. :)
What a great game. Played through the whole thing, paid off my dept with $2700 on top of it. So fun!
I hope you keep working on it. The game itself was easy to win, I never felt like I wasn't gonna win the race, not with all those steroids! But I had a lot of fun growing, and racing. Very fun entry. High on my list for sure. Nice polish too!
D
Glad you like it!
We actually intended to limit the steroids or add a downside to it, but I think in the end we forgot about it after working on other parts of the game. And yeah, the balancing is could definitely use a bit more of iteration, we'll for sure take another look at it.
Thanks for your feedback. :)
Man what a great entry! While the racing part has been done before, the harvesting portion of it is a really interesting system and unique system. Some minor bugs: starting off with what looks like 0 money, losing and restarting keeps your money and makes the days go past 28 but no races and no "pay off debt event" (went all the way to day 60, harvesting and day count still worked). Charming, unique and a genuinely great time! Great work, good luck with the jam <3
Thanks for the kind words!
I actually thought about adding an endless mode, but never got to implement it, so it's funny that it is there in bug form lol.
But we'll work on fixing those issues in a post-jam patch, thanks for reporting them!
Half-way there, eh? ;) Looking forward to seeing how this grows!
Very cute :)
now i get why this game is so popular, its colorful, fun, and really nice concept, but for me felt really easy, and a lot of skiping days,
also minor bug that made me skip a couple of days for nothing, it says i have 00$, it changed after my first purchase, but really great experience
Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah, looks like we have a lot of thing to fix in a post-jam patch. 😅
Wow, this game is incredible fun! I only managed to save up 4517 gold, so was unable to pay my debt off 😥
The side scrolling "menus" reminds of flash games from when I was a teen. Really great submission
So close!
We wanted to get it somewhere around nostalgia filled and still modern touches. Its definitely not perfect, but I feel like we were close enough :)
Thanks for playing!
I very much liked this game, it was really fun and I was quietly saying "GO GO GO!" as my vegetable raced the others cause I would bet a lot on my little guy. The art was also good. Keep it up! I'd love to see what else you make!
Thanks for the kind words! We are glad to be able to the get the "GO GO GO" sentiment across haha, we were all like this during development as well
Love the Farming aspect, growing and or even breeding faster and stronger crops for your race would add more depth.
Expect to the Rot, Player would experience some crop diseases or the need for a scarcrow, has a lot of depth potential there.
The limited scenes makes it very clear what you can do in this game, transitions can be a bit faster, you can also add a Hotbar for switching scenes quicker, with that you can an Icon to make it more clear what you can do at a scene … or add an sign with “SHOP” on it.
Appreciate the thoughtful and complete feedback! Thanks for playing
Fun game! did go an entire month without knowing how to use the dangerous stuff tho, thats what I get for not clicking the help button.
(Also the font used on the game page is a little bit hard to read for me)
Thanks for the feedback!
We did struggle to figure out how to convey how to play the game to the player. And in the end we weren’t able to manage finishing all the systems we had in place while also implementing a proper tutorial. So the help button was the common ground we found.
But I’ve now added information about the help button and changed the font to a more readable one, the old one was indeed hard to read.
What a crazy good concept !!
Loved all of it ! The visual are super clean & the vegetable are adorable ^^
Managed to pay off my debt and even turn on a pretty good profit (Thanks to cozy the eggplant for winning 2 races in a row... absolute beast)
You guys did an amazing job there !
Thanks for the kind words!
As soon as we reached this concept for the game during the initial brainstorm we were sold. Executing it was a bit of a rocky road, I have to say. But it’s nice to hear that someone enjoyed the final product. Also, props for the two times champion Cozy, not all vegetables live long enough for that feat!
Wow. Love all about this game. Almost pay my debt. Had a good time playing. For sure I will play it again.
Great Work Team.
Thanks for playing!
I hope you had fun at the racing grounds :)
love the idea of farming for sport, and nice to have the deadline to pay off the debt!
couldn't really figure out how to race the veggies though, seemed to be an option that was only available on random days. even so, managed to pay the debt off with one massive gamble at the last minute!
nice work
Thank for the comment!
Races happen every 6th day of the week, but that’s only really shown to the player in the calendar screen as a green mark under the dates.
Maybe that’s something we can improve in a post-jam patch. I’m glad you had fun at the races!
