Nice concept and very cool graphics! I loved it!

It’s a shame that the tanks goes down so fast, hahaha, but I guess that’s the point too. Nice!

Definitely the funniest game in the jam!  Oh my god that quit button had me rolling...  And the wordplay with pumpkin was phenomenal.  Maybe a bit more feedback on where your pump is spraying, since it was a bit fiddly to hit the moles.  Powerups were a nice touch!  Had a great time, nice game!

Very nice game!!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it.

Few minor graphical things, like when you are facing right the gas sprays into your face and the font doesn't fit into the timer and enemies boxes. But over all it was a really fun game!

Developer

Yeah, the whole polishing part flew over my head... Ill have to test more and maybe ask someone for opinion before I submit next time.

Happens to the best of us. Special when you are developing alone. If you ever need an extra set of eyes, let me know!

The quit button was brilliant... Didn't think I'd be typing that today, but here I am. I did find it a little fiddley to hit the pumpkins with the spray, but it was still a solid submission!

Developer

I was really happy with that quit button idea, ty for admiring it.

Nice work, complete game! I enjoyed the cutscenes and presentation - but felt the gameplay loop was a little basic, some of the collisions weren't very accurate. Enjoyed the ending, didn't stick around too long - was well paced for a jam game, good work!

Developer

Yeah, i understand that the loop was pretty basic, ill try to focus more on it in the future. Thanks for the well constructed comment.

Interesting mini game!

I really like the pixel art and music. Also the pun in your title is awesome. I felt the music was a bit too loud and the world was bland (too much gray). Gameplay was fine and the myth was funny, great work.

Developer

I started the jam with an artist friend but she did like 3 sprites and left because she was too busy, sadly. So I had to finish the art myself and im not the best artist (yet). I'm glad you enjoyed it though.

Nice little game ! :D
I have to admit, at the beginning, I didn't really knew how to refill, but at the end, I saved the planet (so yay)

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I should've  put something more impactful or just tell the player where to refill. Anyway, I'm glad you had fun!

What an intriguing story :) 

Those moles will never get us!

Keep up the good work!

I'm glad you liked it!

It definitely had an interesting story and the art was a nice presentation of that. I liked the wild satire of it for sure!
My biggest issue was that when you attack the tank goes down. But I never figured out how to make it go back up. Sometimes standing around would refill it. Other times when I started to walk around it'd refill. The health packs which I was confused by because I didn't think the enemies attacked and I didn't see a health meter; but that'd give me some gas back. I pressed every button to find a refill button and searched the map for a more clear answer; but I'm still confused on it.

Good job on finishing though! And I feel the energy drink part, a couple Swiss Chocolate Monsters a day keep the sleepies away.

thanks for liking the story part, and i tottaly get what you mean by not being able to understand. I dont know how something simple flew past me. I'll blame it on myself and will try to improve the user experience in my future projects. Gl on the jam.

It was funny!

Great story to develop, animations are nice, music and sounds are nice too.

Special thanks for the exit button))))

Developer

Thanks for liking the puns, and I really appreciate that you liked that exit button I was kinda proud when I thought of that simple detail. GL on the jam.
