In what way does your game fit the theme?
There will be for sure chaos at your little farm, if you are not fast enough! Dont let there be too much chaos. Can you beat the highscore of 9980?
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I have been using a lot of video tutorials from Youtube to get some ideas for implementing the mechanics. No copy pasta! Pixel art is made from scratch. Music is NOT made by me. I have used zapsplat.com for free sound effects and the soundtrack.

the audio was pretty funny, i liked the sound effects you had. the art was nice too, it fit the chaotic theme pretty well. the game was really fun! i think you have a good idea on your hands and the design of the game definitely helped that. i liked running around the stage, dodging cats and chicken and bees. the game definitely needs a tutorial, i was stuck for about 5 minutes trying to figure out which box to store the wheat in until i realized you give it to the cows. my high score was around 2000, i kind of had a spike of chaos at the end there. still a charming little game :)
Thank you very much for the feedback! I also think it would have been great to introduce new game mechanics piece by piece. I tried to use the main menu to give a quick introduction but it seems to be not enough!
I liked how the audio is spatialized and how it speeds up when you are closer to losing. It was fun racking up all the power ups, but the wasps are too darn evil.
Thank you very much for the feedback! You have to try to keep the sunflowers alive so the wasp spawn is not triggered! But I can totaly understand what you mean! :D
dude the graphic are so good, you are lying with the " not good at pixel drawing " xDD
Thank you so much! Happy to hear that! Really enjoyed the part of creating the art. Still it was soo frustrating sometimes :D
Cool game! I really liked the way you implemented the theme chaos in your game. The way the music get faster when there is more chaos is really cool! Great game
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the game!
I really liked this game. The art instantly reminded me of stardew valley and the gameplay really matched the game jam's theme as I tried feeding all the cows.
Thank you so much for the feedback! Indeed stardew valley was a huge inspiration for the art style!
Nice game! I really like the farm mechanics and the graphics are adorable, love the pixel art!
Thank you so much!
Good game, I enjoyed it. Faster music in escalated situations is good idea. But in later phases I found out following:
- The game goes nowhere :/ Try adding animals/events one by one? At the beginning only cows, later add cats, chickens etc.
- There is a chance that a big number of cows runs out of hay. If the number is big enough, player will automatically lose.
- Sometimes, player is far enough, that he won't hear cows don't have food.
thanks for the feedback!! fair point! could have done some tutorial levels!! my idea behind was to chase highscores and get better each time playing. in the end game can be over very fast thats true. balancing is not so perfect.
This game was really fun, and it fit very well thematically. I especially liked the music that changed as there was more chaos, great job!
Thank you very much for the feedback!
Wow this was pretty fun! running around getting everything from one place to another did get very chaotic haha, great job! ^^
Great you liked it!! Thanks for the feedback! Will have a look at your game also in a few mins!

It is amazing for the first game! I think it would be even better if you change controllers slightly(WASD instead of arrows), nevertheless good job!
Fair enough! Def. could have done that! Will remember next time! Thank you!!
Hey, i think its a very good game for one of your first games. Sometimes the sound only comes out on one side of my headphone, thats kinda bad but is probably some bug in ur engine.
Would be awesome if you could play & rate my game aswell! Thank you, tiimo :3
Thank you for the feedback! Could be some "problems" with unity 3d sounds (Havent used them before). You can only hear sound if in range properly. If you come in too late you can only hear the "end of the sound". Could be the problem you are encountering!
The animations and sprites all look really good!
Thank you very much! First time doing pixel art for me. Videos from Adam C Younis helped out a lot! He is a great "teacher".
If interested:
this is the first game i play in the game jam that counteracts against chaos the gameplay and music tied really well here and the pixel art style is superd!.
thank you very much for the kind words!
I really liked your farming chaos, my man, It was really hard aswell, but funny, the only thing I would think is about a way to counter the bees, but all the chaos feels well made. from a farming chaos to a farming chaos, lemme shake your hand! well done!
Thank you very much! Thats a fair point! As of today it is only the time, which counters bee. 20 seconds to despawn. Or even better dont let the sunflowers die in the first step. After sunflowers die you need to water them in a given time frame to not spawn bees.
That's a fair design, I think at the end I felt the bees really chaotic, but maybe I didn't took care of the sunflowers :0000 shit, I'm a bad farmer hahah
Haha! Its more I am bad at making this mechanic clear enough! :P But thats great feedback! Will make sure upcoming mechnics are clearer!
This is a really good game, it is quite unique and I liked it :-) . My notes for you: 1. there should be a possibility, how to survive bee' sting bce otherise you die for being almost paralized, the game punishes you in that way too hard I think. 2. I didn't get the flowers - are they there just to stop you and limit your movement? Your graphics is really good, so is the music :-)
Thanks for the great feedback!! The flowers (if dead) spawn bees. If you keep them alive you can prevent bees from spawning. I wanted to create something which the player had to think about and decide wisley. If he does not water the plants properly he is getting punished through the bees. I think it was not clear enough that you have/can to interact with the plants!
To "counter" the bees speed decrease the idea was to spawn powerups (either more inventory or speed) by gathering the eggs.
Very cool! It was too much chaos too fast for me, I’m pretty horrible at this. Like how the song gets faster as the chaos goes up and I like the mechanics. Rated this! Maybe you can also play and rate mine?
Thank you very much for the feedback! It def gets hard pretty fast. Needs some more balancing for sure! I wanted to have a more quicker game instead of people getting bored to death. Pretty hard to find a good balance. Playtesting was challenging!

-The gameplay is pretty good the movements and the animations are smooth, you have to be real fast so you can feed the cows breed the cats and collect wheat and eggs I really like this aspect of the game
-The UI is simple and fits the game
-The art is great and also fits the game well
-The audio is okay
I am astonished that you managed to make this game in only 7 days, Looking forward for more projects like this :D
Thank you so much for the great feedback! Really enjoyed making the game the last week. I had 1 week of vacation planned for this game jam! So this was basically my full time job :D
