Oh my good, this is such a cool idea! And the execution is great too!
The concept of giving up your ability to deal damage effectively and having to move instead in order to herd drones in the direction you want is absolutely brilliant, and immediately made me fall in love with your game. It is true that, as others say, herding the drones is a bit difficult as it is, but the addition of some sort of companion (ex. a dog) to help you direct them where you want could fix that: and what if you had to move this companion with the mouse? ;)
I also love the artstyle and animations, and the absence of music is really a bummer, as it is the fact that the game ends at wave 11: give me some more, I need it! ^-^
Overall nice game.
I really like the animation of the crops if you went through them.
But adding sound would be nice!
This is great! I had fun once i figured out i could rule over a even more drones :D Overall felt like a great Game Jam game. There is room for some growth here too! cant wait to see what you do next
A creative use of the theme!
Overall it's a really fun game, it's a pity it stops working at wave 11
Great game. A few things can be improved:
1) Can't see the broken drones in the cropes.
2) The player does not have a lot of control over the drones. They just fly around.
This could be a very good game if you keep working on it. There could be upgrades , different enemies, new zones, shop , etc..
nice concept, also looks good :) My improvement tips:
cool game! but i didn't understand how to control the drones
The herding idea is really unique. However, it's not very intuitive, I had to read the description, for the first three round I though the drones move just randomly and I killed the slimes myself.
This game is really fun despite being frustrating. Its a shame that the game stops working at round 11.
I found it oddly satisfying just spamming e on the buy drones sign
I love the concept, however I found it hard to tell when I was attacking or not so some sound effects would work as nice feedback. In addition, at round 11 slimes seemed to seemingly stop spawning so I was stuck. Other than those two problems, great submission (lovely art btw!)
Really interesting game! I feel that's it's a little to hard to gather drones toward enemies. (Is it normal that touching enemies with the farmer deals damage to them?)
Cool game! The controls are nice, though theres not really much to do aside from:
1. Steer drones to slime.
2. Collect slime remains
3. Buy more drones
4. Repeat
It would be cool if you could actually harvest your crops, so there was an incentive to fight the slimes. With a bit more polish this could be a great game.
The best farm game so far ! Weel made !
Nice game! It took me a bit to grasp the drone controls, but once i did, it was quite fun. Next time make sure to add sounds to your game because it increases the enjoyment of the experience a lot - i recommend free SFX websites like zapsplat.com or mixkit.co
love the game and its art <3 so simple and looks cool, took me a while to understand the controls I think you need to add a tutorial, but still a cool game
I didn't fully understand the controls, but the game seemed fun and i didn't spot any bugs. Solid submission, try to work on tutorials a bit (jonas even made a whole video about them i think)
Cool game. Rate my game too.
very cool kinda hard to understand but once you get it it's fun
Really cool game! I like how you incorporated the topic! Sounds would have been nice, but the game is pretty cool overall! Good job!
