  • Hey there! Nice entry, definitely some hectic gameplay there. I was sweating before I finished. those guys love to get themselves eaten. Overall I liked the music, animation, graphics and gameplay but two things I think I really struggled with were the opening tutorial, which was very text heavy and not very illustrative, and the collisions / triggers for interacting with the objects. I found myself rushing past the objects whenever I tried to pick them up, and it was very fiddly / frustrating. Still, I had a great time and could see this expanded upon into a bigger project. Thanks again!

i really enjoyed this game. it was challenging to handle the creepy bunnies and turnips while doing all the little tasks to grow crops. the sound effects and music suit it well! the control to pick things up is kinda finicky, i found it took several attempts most times to grab a pot.

I'm glad you enjoyed the game! Yes the pickup mechanic was finnicky, it has been fixed already on my end, we are just waiting for the voting period for the game jam to end, and then we will update the game with some new features and better controls, thank you!

Really simple yet innovative concept! Would love some smaller objectives to work towards, as well as some better control options, as picking up turnips was extremely difficult given their hitbox. Would love to see you guys take this further : D

nice game! definitely see the stardew valley inspiration here. i thought the art and mechanics were very charming and the game is simple enough not to need a tutorial. the mechanics were intuitive to learn and simple to use. the controls were finnicky, and i think separating the dash and pickup buttons would have fixed this issue. the rabbits could have been interesting but could easily be avoided by keeping it on the top. it also felt quite punishing to lose a turnip just because i couldn't pick it up. i will definitely not be forgetting the dancing turnips anytime soon though haha

Thank you so much for checking out my game, yeah the #1 feedback i have recieved it the difficulty of picking items up, I thought it would be a funny game mechanic to have the player dashing around and into items, but it seems like it may have been a bad design decision that I did not forsee, in a V2 of the game I will probably change it to be easier to pick up things one way or another, we also went back and forth on whether or not you could pick up the rabbits, but we found that some players struggled to finish the game with that limitation.  My personal goal was to have as many people finish the game as possible, and I was pleasantly surprised to see most people play the game through to the end (even though it may be a bit too easy)... thank you again for your feedback!

i like the work put into this,  the pick up mechanic is a lil rough tho.  but fun game

Developer

Thankyou! yeah haha! for some reason i thought it would be funny to have the player be dashing into stuff, but in retrospect it wasnt a good idea loll.

Super fun and comic farming game to play! Honestly I loved the mechanic of having to take care of the grown turnip while making new ones. The grab mechanic wasn't always working perfectly but once you got the hang of it there was not problem! Thanks for the nice game!

Developer

Thank you! In retrospect having the game be one button was not my best idea, but maybe if i do a version 2 of the game i will have the option to use a different button for grab and dash. I got used to it really quickly when I was coding, but then i should have realised that other players would struggle with it.
