Good audio and art, but had some issues with the game, like not being able to move sometimes, which is only fixed by a reload of the page, the house hitbox being weird (Those 2 points were already addressed), or an old lady being stuck in the fence at the bottom (Don't know how that happened). Unlike others, I could not survive for the whole 2 minutes, maybe I am too greedy :P
Thanks for playing and the feedback, these issues are almost all fixed in the mobile version I'm preparing to launch next year :)
I like the theme interpretation!
However, I couldn't move after failing, so I always had to restart the game :/ The screen isn't sized correctly on my screen as well, so unfortunately I can't read the black box in the top left corner. Also the button art doesn't really fit the pixel art look.
Thank you! Sorry about the issues :(
I enjoyed playing this game :) simple but fun. Good job!
Thank you!!
Nice little game. I quite enjoyed it.
Thanks so much!
Cute, fun game, did you use any asset packs?
Pikpik bro!
Thanks! Yes, I used these:
Chicken - https://butterymilk.itch.io/tiny-wonder-farm-asset-pack
Everything else - https://goblinportal.itch.io/top-down-farming
Looks and sound pretty nice but the gameplay itself has some quite major issues.
The camera lags behind too much so you usually can't see where you're going. Usually it's the opposite that should happen that the camera would "predict" the movement and look forward giving you more time to react to what it coming.
The level layout doesn't make much sense. It's filled with death traps so it's best to just boringly hang in the open start area and collect stuff from there. Doesn't look like there is any downside to doing that either as the corn rupees seem to spawn there too just as much.
The hitboxes for everything were all messed up and made playing feel not that great. Especially when running away from the ladies as you might get stuck any time. Or get hit by their massive hitbox. It just does not feel fair. It's often the best to keep damaging hitboxes way smaller than they visually are to allow more close calls and more of a fair feel. The player needs to be 100% sure they got hit when they do. And for the objects, you really need to think where the base of the object is and place the colliders accordingly to still allow walking behind them.
The hitbox issue was also very bad when trying to collect the corn. It felt so damn bad when you miss out a red one even though you're right on top of it and it just decides to despawn. Their size should be increased by quite a lot (they're the main target of the game anyway) and their hitbox even more so.
The time and points labels are kinda hard to read due to text color choices. They really bleed to the background too much due to the lack of contrast difference. The font didn't really fit the art style either but that wasn't really that much of a big deal.
The scoring system is kind bland and boring. It's really up to luck what color corn are available to you and there is pretty much nothing you can do but hope for the best. The risk factor of the ladies was completely ignored in this aspect and that could be incorporated to the scoring somehow. Maybe getting more points the closer you were to the ladies when grabbing the corn or something along those lines. Would introduce more risk vs reward aspect.
Anyways, good job! ๐
Wow, thanks so much for the detailed feedback.
I agree on all the points, tbh the jam was like less than a week for me instead of 1 month (you can check the github to see how little activity and how messy it was lol), but that's no excuse, it lacks a lot of polish and fixes as you said. Definitely gonna consider all the points you mentioned on the mobile version I plan on publishing. Thanks once again!
Fun game! I like the funky music, maybe next time try to make it loops without a gap! Very fun to be chased by old ladies
Thanks for playing, music was literally last minutes changes, I wouldn't even publish the game lol, for sure I'll do it next time ;)
Made it to 203 points.
Doesn't seem like I have insentive to move close to areas where ladies are as plenty of corn spawns in the midle of the stage. Maybe you could add extra grain spawns on corners so I have a reason to go for riskier play.
Thanks for playing and the feedback!
Really fun game, great job!
Thanks for playing!
This is really cute! Love the art and the sound design!
Thanks so much!
Really cute and relaxing game! Those old ladies really pounce on you out of nowhere haha. Visuals, music and gameplay really work well together :) Nice work!
I think even Marco can't compete with them lol.
Thanks for playing!
Game is very fun. It would be nice if you were able to edit sound in the game
Thanks for playing! Unfortunately there was no time to implement that, but hey, the music is kinda cool :p
Thanks for playing and the feedback!
I'm considering continuing the development and publishing for mobile, your suggestion will definitely make it in then :)
Good solid simple fun. Love the art style and gameplay - enjoyable to lure around the farmers for a bit extra depth. On the feature wishlist could be higher value collectables spawning more often in more risky places (eg in that pen with the farmer inside with only 1 entrance) but I get that could have been hard in the timeframe. Already good fun nonetheless!
Thanks for playing and the feedback!

Short but sweet. The only con I see is that the font and play button feel a bit weird but other than that it's great!
Agreed, that was last minute changes lol
Thanks for playing!
Those are some agile old ladies
Gotta stay fit to catch all the chickens! Thanks for playing!
Nice simple game and easy to play. Smooth movements as well. Love the assets! Great job! ๐๐ฝ
Thank you!!
cute game, I haven't made it to 2 minutes yet though. Those nanas are quick!
Ngl, they used to run marathons back in the days :p
Thanks for playing!
Fun game and music, and cool theme.
Getting stuck into the walls sometimes, but I liked the atmosphere which made me try to score better
Collisions indeed have some bugs at places, sorry about that. Thanks for playing!
