Very cool gameplay.  One of the best on this jam.  The theme of jam is very well inscribed in the story.  Great job!

Submitted

This was cool! I was quite bad at it but I had a good time playing. The sound and visuals are great! Well done 😎

Submitted

I really love the look of the game! Very great job.

Submitted

Fun game, the transition was good and the different growing plants had their variations which was cool idea! Combination of farming and topdown shooter for sure worked in this one well! :) 

Submitted

Awesome!

Submitted

I really enjoyed this. The transitions between dimensions felt really smooth and the change between the peace of the growing and the hectic nature of the fighting makes for a fun time!

Submitted

This was really cool, great interpretation of the theme and combining farming with a top down combat game was great. The music was also an excellent choice, I found myself bobbing my head along to it.

I struggled a bit with knowing what to do in the harvest realm, was my goal to kill monsters or harvest my plants? It seems like the reward you get for harvesting plants is seeds which you can shoot at monsters, but the monsters dropped seeds too. I was also often blocked on not having enough fertilizer and monsters just weren't dropping more of it for whatever reason.

I'm definitely gonna go back later and give it another play, I saw in the video there are more mechanics I haven't quite reached yet. Great job!

Developer

The scarcity of fertilizer was meant to be an economy balancer, so that players wouldn't just spam one upgrade and instead would try the tower-defense mechanics, but I think something I learned from this jam is if I'm going to arbitrarily limit something I have to be very clear about what you have to do to get more of it. If I had more time I'd probably make an enemy that spawns every level that you have to kill to get fertilizer, and maybe make a plant that costs 100 seeds that gives you 1 fertilizer, just to give options.

Thanks for the constructive feedback, it's very helpful!

Submitted

Oh yeah, I like the idea of an enemy dedicated to dropping fertilizer. I assumed the big walking laser guy would drop it and was kinda disappointed when it didn't.

Submitted

Really cool game! The concept is unique and it was a lot of fun. :)

Submitted

Really fun and enjoyable. the FX are good and really polished. Will be even better if the seed selection is easier again (Let player can choose with 1 2 3 key and Q E to make it faster to choose). Nice job overall!

Great job! These are many mechanics to this game and it's impressive you were able to  incorporate them all in such a short time. The transition is great! I love the screen effect and the way the music hits when you go to the growth world

Very original take on the theme! I love the 2.5D style, and both peaceful and exciting nature of it. The game is overall very well done.

Submitted

Fun concept! VFX are very fluid and very well done (expecially the transition effect).

Controls didn't work very well, expecially in the growing dimension, player keep getting stuck, unable to move.

Beside small controller issues, game was pretty fun. :) Well done!

Hey bob, could you tell me what controller you were using and how you got stuck? Most of my tests were with mouse and keyboard, and I would like to fix any controller glitches there are!

Submitted

Hi! I used mouse and keyboard too. It happened only in the demension where you fight, the other one was working fine. I'll try again today and let you know if happens again.

Developer

I'd appreciate it! I thought I caught every bug!

Submitted

Second time around it worked witouth issue, maybe there was a problem with my keyboard. Apologies for the false positive!

Submitted

That was very fun! made it to wave  7 and I had a blast keep up the good work guys !

Submitted

Really enjoyed this! tried to get past lvl 5 twice but couldnt find much fertilizer :( was a lot of fun though!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks! You're right game gets difficult, maybe too difficult. Some well placed plant buddies and ferns might get you through it, but I think I'm going to up the fertilizer rate just slightly. Thanks for the feedback!
