Hi LG, I looked at your game, and yes I'm very interested in working on your project.  Let's message on Discord and we can talk about the specifics :).

Hey all, my name is Colin and I'm an indie game developer/programmer.  I'm looking to expand my portfolio and skillset by collaborating on small projects or contracts with a scope of 1-2 months long. 

Most of my experience is with GameMaker and Unity for 2D games, but I'm open/willing to work on 3D games and learn new engines like Godot/Unreal/Ren'Py/RPGMaker.  I just ask for some patience as I learn the new engines.

Comment here, or message me on Discord if you're interested. Let's talk about your game ideas :).

Also, check out the games I've made/working on here:  https://bearsinteractive.itch.io/

Thank you for the feedback!  Yes, if we had more time, we would have loved to make the game more challenging and added more polish.  You can never have enough polish :).

Thank you for the comment and the kind words!  We definitely planned to have animations for the dog, but ran out of time :p.

• Things I like:
  • shooting the bullets are really satisfying with a good sound effect.  I also like that they bounce.
  • visuals are nice - the lighting looks good and reacts well to player movement
  • music is exciting
  • The game is challenging but fair
• Things that can be better:
  • need sound effects for player getting hurt, enemies dying, and collecting pickups
  • only one type of enemy - enemies have different sprites, but behave the same
  • no replay button after winning
  • I can be hurt by my own bullets.  This feels bad

• Things I liked:
  • Game has a fun concept and uses the theme really well.
  • Gameplay is really smooth and exciting.  It feels really good to click on a large group of plants when health is low.
  • Visual and sound effects are very well done.  The heartbeat adds a lot of tension.
• Things that can be better:
  • Can't use health to buy/unlock anything.  Health is effectively just a countdown :( .
  • The colors are too dark.  It's hard to see what the plants are
• Bugs/Balancing
  • The difficulty (seemingly) does not reset after dying and retrying.  The health seems to go down faster when I retry the game
  • There are balance issues with clicking the plants.  I got a score of about 15k by just clicking randomly

• Things I liked:
  • the game is complete with a proper title, main game loop, and game over screen
  • the enemies look really good.  I liked the snakes
  • the controls and UI are smooth and understandable
  • good balance between enemies and health spawns
• Things that can be better:
  • needs a gun and damage sound effect
  • difficulty is a little too easy; no real reason to buy the upgrades
  • level borders are hard to see
• notes/suggestions
  • add specialized enemies like a tanky spider, or a smaller, faster, snake.  This will give the player more motivation to buy upgrades

• Things I liked:
  • The snot effect is really satisfying; especially the player's sneeze face
  • multiple enemies are look good
• Things that can be better:
  • needs more levels/boss (I want to play more!)
• Other notes (bugs?):
  • you can shoot in all 4 directions at the same time
  • the bats sometimes stop before they collide with the player
