Love the idea!
Really funny and fun game! I laughed out loud when the guys death sound had reverb on it.
Hahaha love love LOVEE the idea! really funny and cool game :D good job
Very nice. The only thing I would change is to start pouring water (or start steering) after clicking a mouse - sometimes You are taken to the next level only to die immediately;)
Very original idea, the only thing to change here is some indicator when finishing level. Now it feels like random teleport. :)
PS. And full screen option.
I like it! The graphics look great, and I love the silly sounds your character makes! Only wanted more levels!
This is the best "shoot to move" game i have played so far! really fun game :)
wow, we are honored :D thanks

Okay, like wow! The game is soo much fun! :D
I really just love the concept!
The music is so well fitting, and the sfx are so cute XD
Really well done!
Thank you so much, glad you liked it!
That was so much fun! Loved the idea.
Fun game! I never knew gardening tools had such potential as game mechanics. Great job.
Right?:D thanks!
Wow, what a great idea - fits the theme really well! I am surprised you were daring enough to create a game which uses rope physics as the movement mechanic for a two day jam, good job! I would be interested to see this idea explored and polished further ;)
Thanks^^ yeah it would be nice to polish it further
I was a little confused about what I had to do at first, but the moment I figured out, it was a huge LOL moment and I was smiling the rest of the time I played. With some polishing up, this would be a great touch screen game in an app store!
Also, I can't imagine how much time and thought you had to put into the way the hose wrapped around things. I was just reading a whole article on the rope physics in The Last of Us 2, and here you pulled off an (albeit simpler) version in two days! Nice. :-)
As it is, I didn't have much desire to keep playing for too long--the "out of control" nature of the controls don't jibe well with my level of patience--but I think adding, say, an arrow that indicates the direction and force of the water may help better convey how your farmer will move.
I'd love to read that article you mentioned. Can you link it here or DM it to me?
The article is nothing technical... Just about attention to detail. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.polygon.com/platform/amp/2020/6/22/21299451/the...
Would be good to make an app of it, maybe it will happen :)
Really liked this game. It was a little hard to get used to the movement, but i could manage to beat it. Nice work!
This is a really cool take on the hose idea, I really liked your level progression, and the farmer character is super cute! After doing some hose physics myself for this jam I know how hard this is to get right. Great job!
thanks, I'm gonna play yours
Thank you ^^
great idea!
mghRMWHL!!!
haha thanks!
I absolutely love this game, absurd physics games are always a good laugh! The gardeners voice acting was hilarious aswell.
Thanks! it was an interesting first experience for me, hearing my own voice in a game haha "urrrh"
Nice one. It's really simple, yet fun.
thank you!
This is all around a great entry. The navigation felt really good. The music and the art were both great. The cries never stopped being hilarious.
It did take me a minute to recognize that I had to tug on the hose to keep moving. I think that it's a clever mechanic that can be taken much further.
Great idea, and great execution.
Love the art, good job!
Pretty fun, I like the old man's sound effects. One improvement would be that once the hose stops for the level that you can't die anymore. It is hard to beat some levels.
Thanks!
