Lovely! I really enjoyed the mix of defense and harvesting, as well as the general mood of the game. I encountered some bugs where the laser sprites from the UFOs were destroying my crops even when no UFO was above them (those damned aliens, haha). Good job and congrats on your entry!
Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it! Those aliens with their orbital lasers.... lol, I'll try to figure that bug out, thanks for finding it!
the gun being attached to the player looks a little bit silly but I dig the artstyle and music a bunch! I wonder if there was some more planned for the seeds.
Yeah, the gun didn't come out the best, looks a little janky, but it works for now XD.
The score system was added last second, originally i was planning to add a whole plant/harvest system where you have to replant the seeds you harvested, but this being only a week long jam that dead line came pretty fast. But I'm happy with how it came out for being my first Jam!
Thanks for the feedback!
Good work! Nice core mechanics, you could add more sfx, plants that have different buffs and different types of enemies, upgrades. You can improve it in a lot of different directions. Enjoyed the game, so keep up with good work!
Cute farming / defence game. I enjoyed the concept of having the player having to defend crops as an objective rather than their own HP. More sound feedback would go a long way and make the gameplay more impactful. I see the vision, great job getting the above done in time for the Jam!
Thanks for the feedback! Totally agree, more sounds for when plants grow/aliens attack would help a lot.
Nice! My first play through, I harvested all my plants at once and accidentally ended my own game, lol. I figured it out though. Very fun! I ended up with a score of 10,000!
Great work! Congrats on the submission!
You’ll have to tell me how I fared score-wise. Can’t tell if it was a good/bad score.
Nice looping soundtrack, and I like the art! The gameplay could use a bit more refinement - I kinda want to have more control over the whole area of my farm to be able to protect it better throughout the waves. Otherwise, great jam entry, the core mechanics work well and it stays on theme! Thank you for making it!
Not bad! I think the most I've gotten was around 8500. Glad you enjoyed it! Defiantly needs a lot more more work, it's very rough on the edges. I like the idea of have more control over your farm, like choosing where to make plots to plant stuff! And maybe adding some defensive plants maybe?
Thanks for the feedback!
I like the ideas you've shared! Another idea could be to use the fences that are now decorative, in some way, in order to increase difficulty levels as you navigate your fields. Or add them as a defensive element as well. Good luck!
Interesting idea to have the plants give you a score and be your health to survive. I would have liked more sfx when you plant, harvest and shoot the aliens. I read the comments ahead of time and saw the corn was one time and the blueberry could be harvested multiple times. Understanding that helped avoid some confusion when harvesting. I was slightly confused on the blue vs yellow square for what was planted but it actually translated well while playing.
Pretty solid, good job!
I hate it when aliens steal my blueberries. I beat the game with 2500 score! Not sure if it's good :)
yeah, probably should have made it more zoomed out, good idea, and a bit harder. Thank you for the feedback!
There were two types of seeds you could plant, corn and blueberries. The corn can only be harvested once, but give more points then blueberries, blueberries can keep being harvested. probably should have written that out somewhere XD.
Oh lol I read 'speed'. Probably tired from the jam. 😅😅
Nice art work and song! The ufos were a bit fast, so it became pretty difficult pretty fast.
I didn't plant anything but I still won haha
whoops probably should have made it so you can't win with a score of 0. Good work! I guess? lol
i would say the visuals are the best part about this game, but gameplay needs to be worked on, nice job neverthless
Thanks! Sadly we ran out of time, and weren't able to add all the functionality we wanted to, but it was a fun project!
