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!
Cool game, a little hard to control with lots of drones, maybe a robot dog companion upgrade? also, the slimes stopped coming after round 11
Well Done! This game has a very nice concept and good visuals.
Yes I also didn't understand how to control drones until I read on itch page that they flee away from you, Nice game and unique concept though :)
Thanks you! - Sorry it was unclear haha I will be sure to add some sort of tutorial at the beginning of the game:)
I love this concept! It's like low key tower defense but with the setup round integrated within the waves. If you wanted to expand on the idea, it would be super cool to have different types of drones you can unlock? The art is also great, the interactive wheat really takes it up a notch. Only real issue was that I didn't understand how to control the drones until I had got through all of the rounds and then read on the itch page that they flee from the player... Also do they hurt each other with collisions? My drones kept taking damage even without any monsters on screen... Nice job anyway!
Thank you a lot for your feedback! - I would love to add some more drones or upgrades, will look into that in the future. I should also make the drones more responsive to the players movements (and add some sort of tutorial). Atm drones just fail at random, i will maybe make it tied to collisions with other drones, that sounds like a good idea - thanks!
