This is one of those types of games that is hard to balance due to the scope of options that can change difficulty.
I never found myself dying because of the enemies damage. It was always me getting push off the edge. I found that the stars allowed me to level up quickly so that was the first thing I was doing every run. I then managed to get enough beans and gold beans to just get a couple of upgrades. However even with one upgrade into projectile count and 1 into damage. I was not doing enough to counter the number of beans spawning. I was not able to efficiently take out as many as were coming in. Other than that there is a fun game here. May not need as many upgrade options a lot of them are pretty useless at first or are not as good as damage and projectile count.

Thank you for playing and the feedback! A few of the upgrades are pretty useless I do agree, but a few others are also helpful such as reload time/attack speed. Getting flung is pretty annoying yet also pretty fun in my opinion lol. Also, I'm still updating this game so if you want to, you can try out the post jam version on my page (its a tiny bit more balanced).

Sounds good to me! Looking forward to it!

Like everyone else, I wasn't strong enough to take on the beans
Having some beans at the start that are easy to kill would really help get a run going.

All that aside though, loved the isometric art style.

Developer

Thats a good idea, thank you!

Really great art! Map feature is pretty cool!

I think game could be unbalanced, I couldn't kill enemies. Game looks great and have potential.

Congratulations on your submission!

Developer

Thank you!

I love the brotato-inspired feel (I've played A LOT of brotato). Unfortunately I couldn't get past the early game because there were so many bean enemies that seemed really hard to kill (I read the instructions in the description, but maybe I was doing something wrong?) Some variety in the map tiles would have made the game look more interesting. With some re-balancing of the early levels, I think this game could be even better.

Thank you for playing! I think i have a knack for making my games hard lol. I did want to add more tiles but ran out of time, will definitely in the future though!

The art looks very clean and I really believe this game is fun later on. So far I did not reach there tho. I want to be stronger and show those beans!

I wish the beans would pop faster in order to give me this typical bubble-wrap feel. I also wish the beans would not spawn in my face so often.

Please keep at it! I love Brotato-esk games!

Developer

Thank you so much! I tried to make them not spawn so close but they just chose to anyways it seems ;-;

I think the beginning of the game is too difficult to get enough beans to get started upgrading your toast. I like the bean and toast art!

Developer

Thank you! I think maybe starting out with more golden beans would have helped.

Submitted

Cute but the early game is a bit too hard (for me?)

Developer

It's not just you lol, thanks for playing!

I think it was a bit to much of a slog in the early stages. Biggest gripe was that movement on the mini-map isn’t the same as the world which is a quite disorienting. I still played for a while until it was clear I’d have to grind a lot to get any meaningful upgrades. Nice work with the amount of upgrades though, it seems like there’s a lot going on there.

Developer

I do agree that it was very difficult at the start and thank you for your feedback!

Absolutely beautiful!!

Developer
