The web build dearly needs a zoom button, I can't ready any of it...
Downloaded game completed with 1010 gold at the end of day 7....
There were quite some tricky ones to find.
heyo thanks for the thorough test and review! to be completely honest, I did not judge the zoom level correctly and had the fullscreen/zoom thing as one of the last things to implement, but i couldn't get to it due to time haha
It's a thing to configure on the itch page :)
Not a bad little jam game. I struggled a bit with the final day, but it was interesting enough to keep me trying it. There's lot of room for neat stuff here. Keep up the good work!
Loved the vibe of the game - the atmosphere and design choices worked really well together. And the way the main mechanic is taught is much better than a traditional tutorial - creating a more immersive experience. Great job!
Really enjoyed the atmosphere and exploration vibe of the game. The world feels mysterious and interesting to move through, and the visual style gives the project a nice fantasy feeling.
The whole experience feels calm and immersive in a very nice way.
Really cool concept I enjoyed trying the different combos etc figuring out which ones met the customers needs. Great work.
ty! the original plan had 6 stats (adding special/physical def and mana) but i tried gamecrafting how that would look like in terms of balance and it was ridiculously out of scope for a single dev in a week hahaha
I feel that lol I turned mine in with like 3 minutes to spare lmao
i literally submitted my final build fixing a visual bug with the bee that was going in backwards with 17 seconds on the clock, i feel you hahaha. My clock gave me a warning it thought i was having a heart attack 😂😂😂😂
I really liked the core idea of combining plants based on customer requests, and the progression with unlocking new plants through combinations felt satisfying. The visual design was also very nice and clean. Overall, a simple but well-executed concept, good job!
tyy i struggle with art but it was fun getting these somewhat consistent in the end haha
It's a really fun game, love the little bee :D I hope it gets more content like something to do with the coins
