Good game! Thanks for your submission. 10/10
Woo congrats! You did it! Thanks for playing :- )
Great idea <3 it was a fun gave me Plants vs Zombies vibes, I dig the art!
Thanks for playing! It was my first time doing pixel art, so I'm glad you liked it! :- )
Interesting idea! I enjoyed playing the game :) I wish I had something like a lawnmower though haha
Thanks for playing our game! We definitely want to add more elements once the game jam is over, so we can think about a lawnmower!
That’s great to hear! Keep on going 💪💪
Interesting, liked the types of defense you could place and the oncoming enemies. The money coming in helped to be able to build things frequently so that was good. Overall, nice job on it!
thank you for playing it! we're glad you liked the game!
Fun game, managed to complete all 4 levels; just the right amount of content. Easy to understand and very smooth experience. Really like the graphics.
Also reminded me of Plants vs Zombies mechanics wise; think I have practiced doing smth similar with one of the GameDev.TV courses :)
P.S. Coin farmers sound is still echoing in my head
This comment made me laugh so hard haha, hopefully the coin sound doesn't haunt you for too long! Thanks for playing!
Makes us happy to hear it! :D
I love how fun and polished this is! When the theme was first announced, i immediately thought of the Last Stand level in Plants vs. Zombies :P So i really enjoyed playing your game and loved how balanced and satisfying it is, tho I lost in Autumn :(((
Thank you so much for playing and the very kind words! We appreciate it ^.^ and I totally forgot there was a level called Last Stand! hahah how fitting :D
A satisfying tower defense! I enjoyed building up a solid wall of beehaves to protect my army of money making farmers, so that I could eventually defeat all the invaders with the power of tomatoes! :D
Very solidly made, the only slight thing I noticed is that; if you click to place something which you don't have enough money for, it will still remain unbuildable once you can afford it. The icon remains highlighted and you have to un-select, then re-select it to place the tower down. A very minor thing over all.
I love this comment haha xD thank you for playing and the great feedback! But dang it!! I thought I fixed everything button related... I'll have to double check. I might have introduced that when fixing a major bug where it wasnt unselected when disabled. Thanks for pointing it out!! ^.^
I have found and fixed the issue, prime and ready for the next update. I reaallyy wanna upload it haha but in the spirit of the game jam gonna hold off until voting is done. Luckily it's not having that big of an impact ^.^ Thanks again for reporting the issue.
I know how you feel, it's tough having to wait a week before being able to upload bug fixes!
Nice game. Never played a lane based tower defense before (though I am familiar with them) and I really enjoyed it. Might have to give PvZ a shot after this.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it as your first experience with this style of game, that's really cool :D. PvZ is a lot of fun, definitely worth giving a go ^.^
Thanks! I haven't played PvZ in awhile, but making this made me want to play it again for inspo.
Well done. Pvz vibe ofc.
Thank you, and thanks for playing! :)
Adorable sprites, the animations are awesome <3 I could keep playing that
Thank you so much! I just started learning pixel art a couple weeks ago and this was my first crack at a game, so this means a lot to me!
Thank you for playing and the kind words! ^.^
Pretty cool game, getting plants vs zombies vibes of course, tho I haven't played it. I suggest checking out "How I Got My Mom to Play Through Plants vs. Zombies" video on youtube, I really liked it. Sound effects and visuals were pleasing, I'd love to see some tooltip about what each building does and maybe enemy health. At first I felt that ground visuals were a bit noisy, but it wasn't an issue for me at all once I started playing.
Thanks so much for playing, the kind words and feedback! I will definitely watch through it, just searched and saw its a GDC so this should be really insightful (I actually expected a mum playing hahah). The tooltip is a great idea, or at least some indication of what they are, for sure. It does give me ideas to try :D! I can definitely see how the ground could be a bit noisy. There was a lot of learning during the jam to get a balance of detail without being too much. My partner, who did the art, has only started learning pixel art 2-3 weeks ago (her first game ever), and so still figuring what works best ^.^
Kind of plants vs zombies vibe but definitely fun game!
Yeah, lane based tower defense was our genre targetted, and so PvZ was part of the inspiration! Thanks for playing :)
Love it! this is really fun, maybe balancing a bit the cooldown of the farmers to I won't have a ton of coins if I spam them before the enemies come could increase the strategy value, but I really liked it! :D
Thanks again for the kind words, makes us happy to hear you love it! I agree, the balance of coin generation is out. I made the mistake of implementing the coin and cost components last, and left us short to fine tune a lot of things around that concept. Once the voting is done, I want to revisit the tuning and add some features so it feels better balanced ^.^
