Cool game and a really creative idea! I enjoyed it

This is an unique idea, I like it a lot!  Art style and music is pretty good too. Good work :)

Developer

Thanks :)

This is fun! I got to around 14000. Interestingly, I reached the 8000 goal without discovering that you could place down food. Also, it's pretty funny how BurdenBot clears out the entire farm as fast as possible when set to sell :]

Developer

Thanks a lot! Yeah, he can be quite the help sometimes :)

Love the artstyle and gameplay good job !

Haha, I love the personality of Burden Bot and the game play was fun too. These cute lil' 2D sprites and juicy sound effects are everything!

I just noticed that I was able to accidentally click/sell "animals" in the background when talking to the Burden Bot selecting a button but it was kind of easy to avoid once I noticed.

This is a pretty well-rounded game and quite different from what most did for the jam.

Thanks! Yeah, I also noticed this issue post-jam. I guess it never happened while I tested. Happy you tried my game :)

Love the concept, burdenbot has such a cool design and the gameplay is just addictive somehow. Very good game as expected from my partner and good friend, keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot man!

This game is great! Very relaxing, but still engaging! I love how the robot "helps" but its actions can still be annoying, or said otherwise, a burden :)

The trendy animal system is a really good idea to keep it interesting too!

Here's a suggestion: maybe you could add later game elements that speed up gains towards 5000 the more money you have, like some sort of breeding machine or something, idk

But hey very nice work! I will be looking out for more of your projects :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for playing and I'm glad my idea ended up working, at least my intention was to make the robot a burden and helpful, so I guess it worked. Also, thanks for the follow, it really means a lot, I'll follow you back as well :)

Very relaxing and cute artstyle.

In my first run I didn't fed any animal because I clicked a little bit too fast through the tutorial. So I endet up having my Burden Bot buying a lot of food that I didn't know how to use.
What a burden, but was a very funny situation too. xD
I changed his task to buying animals and this was indeed the only option of the 3 that I found very helpful. So I could focused very deeply to get all the animals to the right time.

Yeah, I don't blame you for skipping the tutorial, I also hate long tutorials in games, especially in jams. Wish I had more time to add a more interactive one. Thanks for the kind word, and I'm glad BurdenBot was a burden, that was intended hahaha :)

Seriously chill game! I enjoyed the double meaning of "Burden Bot" haha. It was very enjoyable and the gimic of working with a helpful but unhelpful robot was brilliant ! Great art direction also :)

Developer(+1)

God DAMN! thanks a lot! Really was unsure of the game's direction at first, but seeing your comments makes me feel like a mastermind hahaha. Thanks a lot for the kind words :)))))

Very cool game! The art style was very good and I really liked the music. The game has a chill atmosphere, if you don't count the burden bot (Oh god he stressed me really some times) and the Idea is really hooking (Right now, this is the game that I played the longest for the game jam)! 

Would be nice to see maybe a post jam version of it :)

Developer

I'm really glad you say it's simple, I was scared that the game would be hard to understand. I might expand on it as well. You really made my day :)

Submitted(+1)

I like it! Simply to understand and nice art :)
Please consider playing and rating mine to!

Super dig the artstyle! Love the atmosphere of the whole game. I said "damnit BurdenBot" atleast 50 times across the game

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot, honestly, I started with a color palette and then added random colors here and there, and so I'm glad you like the artstyle :) Damnit BurdenBot!
