I was kinda thinking “I wonder what the Unintended Consequence is?” and then BAM Winter hit and it was a whole new game ahahha. Great work, loved it.
Haha I am glad that you enjoyed the twist!
Thank you for playing :)
Wow, I almost didn't stick around 'till winter because I wanted to move on and make sure to review more entries, but boy, am I glad I did!
Art and music were both beautiful. I loved the feeling of farming high on a floating mountain. Play-style was fantastic. Incredibly creative take on the theme.
I agree with others that slightly faster movement would have been nice. It wasn't obvious to me what the blue bar was above the plants, and when I needed to water them and how frequently.
Really wonderful entry. One of my favs.
Thank you for taking the time to reach winter!
I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed the game for the most part, the tutorial was a bit rushed and I never did introduce the water meter haha.
You are incredibly kind in your review <3
Really fun take on the theme! I was so focused on getting as many plants and frog guardians as possible, I didn't notice the seasons changing.. had a rough time surviving the winter:) The game play loop is really satisfying, and I could see you building this out into a larger game. well done!
That is how I have been playing when I test the game as well haha, though I don't know what is optimal. I am considering taking this style of game further with a focus on growing and expanding the farm across multiple islands :)
Thank you for playing!
Wow! Those consequences were unexpected!
An excellent farming game!
The instructions are very clear from the start and in just a few seconds, you get carried away by the game.
I really wasn't prepared for what would happen in the winter and I must admit that I had a lot of fun dealing with this situation.
You really have something to be proud of with this game for your first jam!
That is awesome, I love to know what parts of the game were enjoyed!
Thank you for playing and for the feedback :)
Got 108. Took me a while to figure out I could move the frogs away from the water, which might have saved me in the end, did not expect that. Well done! Interesting loop setting up your farm.
A smaller farm will make survival easier in this version ;)
Thank you for playing!
pretty fun idea, it feels like a mix of tower defense and farming. is there any way to survive winter? it feels pretty difficult. Great submission though!
Winter is survivable based on how many plants you have completed, though once you hit winter 30, you will get a victory screen. With the way that the game is currently set up, I would consider the main objective to be getting the highest score possible. The enemies and end-game are not as complex and balanced as I had hoped but time was running out...
Thank you for playing and for the very valid feedback :)
Very fun! I loved the twist at the end. It felt very sudden. I would increase the player's run speed, because it felt very slow.
Thank you for playing! I agree, was thinking about adding a dash/roll mechanic because it would be funny to have in a farming game and help the player move around a bit quicker
I was just farming and suddenly I die! And also, maybe a running function could be good? I feel way too slow
I like that idea. I didn't give any instructions, but if you try clicking when winter hits, you may survive ;)
It works quite well, but most of the field will probably never be used, especially because there are only a few places to buy frogs and the distances to the bottom would be far too long. If you buy a frog from the carnivorous plants, you can no longer shoot and die. If you survive the winter, the game is also over. Somehow I'm missing the opportunity to continue playing and having to adjust to more. The content is a bit lacking, which is a shame because the basic concept is good! Scrolling through the hotbar would be so much better than having to press 1, 2 and 3 as I never use these buttons.
Ah yes, the frogs should be disabled during the winter, I do not recommend interacting with them during that phase of the game for now and I will disable them in a future patch. The game is intended to end upon completing the full year, though I am considering a future version of the game to be take a farm-builder/defence direction where you would continue beyond 1 year.
Thank you for playing and for your feedback!
awesome stardew valley style game, i like it, but how to get flowers grow up, please help =D
Thank you for playing! The plants need to be protected from bugs, and their water cannot run out. If you do these 2 things, the plant will complete in a minute
Game is simple and fun, though a bit repetitive. I liked it overall! My only complaint would be the theme doesn't really seem to be implemented in the game too well, but other than that it's a fine submission for the jam. Well done!
Thank you for playing and for your feedback! Playing until winter will reveal the implementation of the theme
Ah, that's my bad. I replayed and got to winter, and I change my mind lol, definitely some unintended consequences there! I just initially thought it would be the same gameplay loop throughout the seasons, but I should have been more patient. I love what it turns into at the end, but don't want to spoil it for others. Maybe put a little incentive like "make it to winter" as the goal of the game or something though just in case other players have the same thoughts as me. Overall it was a chill experience :)
Awe thank you for giving it a replay! You're definitely not alone, I did not have the time to make clearer goals for the player to follow as the deadline got close (oops). Cheers :)
Cool idea! I like the chill vibes. Well done.
