This is an interesting concept for a game.
I know it might be because of the limited time in a game jam, but I would have liked to be able to merge different types of poison together to create unique combinations that you couldn't buy in the shop. You wouldn't need to cover every permutation, but it would be fun to maybe mix the tornado with a "liquid" poison to make something like acid rain.
I also feel like there needs to be a purpose for making the poisons beyond a bank account because after unlocking all the poisons you can just spam the nuke button and get infinite money, making the idea of mixing poisons or buying them from the shop a bit pointless.
I liked the animals bouncing around the world though, it's fun watching them move around the map.
Thanks for the game
The concept is really great, and the game is quite fun! The merging mechanic could be better explained, but otherwise the game is really cool!
I felt like a monster killing them animals, but quite liked the mechanic on merging poisons and then testing them out in the field. The hit boxes were a bit strange tho, and sometimes I would waste powerful poisons for nothing, since the animals would not take damage.
I totally love the game! It’s super fun to play, and once I got the bomb, money wasn’t even an issue.
This is really good game I actually got addicted to it, it would be more fun if you added more updates because sadly It was short game but anyways great game!
This game is really fun! The store system and the use of items are excellent, great job! Game 20/20
This is a nice game! I will say I felt bad landing hundreds of nukes on the animals at the end to rack up money haha. With some UI updates and some balancing of money you receive this is a really cool idea!
Very cool concept for a game! Love the low-poly graphic, don't see too many of those in the jam! Great Job!
yoo the game is cool. i like low poly games, the animations are just like the toys. i love them hove they are like toys for the player. also the posion implementation is good. one question - why next poison is not unloacking ??
I got a cognitive dissonance from the incredibly strong difference in interface and 3D graphics. The interface is worth tightening up. You can get softlocked if you spend all your money on combinations in the beginning. It's very easy to get to the end, that's fine, but the last kind of animal extermination tool broke and displayed as a white square.
I like the simple graphics and the gameplay, while it has some mild flaws, it wasn't too bad! Mostly just the animals moving around too much but its a decent game!
Though the use of AI definitely did cut down the appeal a bit, it's more so just due to the inconsistency of the art cause AI obviously has that "AI style" but the rest of the game is your own work, I suggest using your own art next time especially when it's something as big as a thumbnail which acts as the first impression :D
Still a great job though on completing a game!
I really enjoyed it! If anything, would've played more. It seemed to snowball really quickly, my only suggestion is to tune down the rewards a bit :D
The game is GREAT to say the least, great visuals, great gameplay, very creative, considering you've made almost all the assets from scratch and made a fun gameplay still, all of this in a short period of time you must've never slept, I really want to appreciate your EXCELLENT work and all the efforts put in this game, Excellent!!!.
i realy liked the game and i LOVE how simple the graphics are and overall a fun game
I can't get the animals to stay in place long enough to die, the walks aren't exactly that loop-friendly (although I understand it was what was possible in the time frame), and the aiming clips through the ground. Also, the imagery on the thumbnail is clearly AI generated, which I do not particularly like, but it doesn't affect the gameplay.
The 3D graphics is simple, but it has some strange magic that works on me. It is playful sandbox.
Personally I am missing some "challange" that will make me to think what poison to use or where to use it. For example some "friendly" animals that you don't want to hurt (Just to be safe - disclaimer: in real life do not harm ANY animal :-D ).
Poison combination mechanic can be fun concept, but currently it is too easy to unlock all combinations. Also now you create new poison by combining two same previous one - I think it would be more fun if the combinations was more "sophisticated" (Things like water + air = fog etc.) so it can provide some joy in discovering them.
Overall I think its nice groundwork with potential. And after all - in one week nice job!
