Thank you for sharing this on stream yesterday, the Catbot is so cute!!! I'll definitely be replaying so I can actually SEE the end card. The art is adorable and the bot does get VERY out of control so good job :D
These were neat mechanics, I liked growing the plants, and tossing items around the stage was pretty fun. The out of control mechanics were kind of annoying in the sense that I usually was able to plant 4 seeds before losing it, and then those plants would almost immediately turn to poo. It made the back 4 plots a little bit unnecessary. Once I started turning a profit, too, there didn't seem like a clear lose condition which could have been nice. Overall, the farming aspect was really satisfying and I really liked the presentation and idea. Good work!
I really likthe music of the game! It gives such a cute atmosphere, and the two different track go perfectly well with each other. Overall the game has a very cute aura.
I began stuck for a bit, because there is something I didn't understand immediately: I had to use the mouse!^^ If it wasn't for the cat making actual progress for me, I wouldn't know how o get crops. But then it was ok. The watering can was a bit clumsy to use (a lot of time I was dropping it instead of watering), but it's still managable. Maybe the movements are a bit too slow too.
Still, that doesn't prevent the game to be fun. It's a very feel-good experience, with a silly humor that I really enjoyed! :)
haven't seen a farming sim on the jam yet, good job! the art and music was nice
I loved the art, and thought the game tied all the art assets together really well, from music, to sound, to sprite. I liked that there were both audio and visual cues to what was happening with the cat rage. I did find the gameplay itself pretty confusing. Even after seeing the cat auto do some stuff I struggled to replicate it. I would have really appreciated more player information on the actions I was performing, both audio and visual.
Thanks for enjoying our art and sounds :D
the art is fantastic, the art is very funny, I liked the mechanics, the art contrast, I loved it
Thanks man.
I liked the idea. Was a bit confused at first, and it seemed the automated controls were a doing a lot better than me^^
The interactions are a bit awkward to execute, but the idea is neat. I like that the music changes along with the robot rage mode. I think the raging farmer was better at the game than I was, haha.
Like GreyGoldSturio said, the box placement seem kind weird at times, but everything else was great.
Great visuals! The action box placement and grid-layout seemed a little off to me. But quite fun!
I lost the watering can - out of reach of the field - and the loop further accentuates the loss of control. We are in the subject. But the fun of the game is not complete.
great art and gameplay! i love the core gameplay loop here. such a fun little game! i was a bit confused on how to "win" the game, but maybe i'm dumb haha. great job!
It's in the game description: (You need to get over 10k Nekocoins) :D
Sorry if that isn't made clear in the game. Glad you loved it!
Good visuals, fun gameplay but the aspect ratio doesn't really work for my computer
The aspect ratio we designed this in is 16:9. Perhaps yours is different? Glad you liked it :D
