Hard Controls ;-) But fits the theme. Congratulations on finishing a game in time ;-)

Developer

Thanks! It was a late submission actually but I did make the  game within the time limit. Thanks for playing!

Well this is certainly unique, props for that! However the intro is too long for what it is, and the controls were very confusing! Intentional bugs I suppose? There need to be some alternatives or telegraphing of such things though. It didn't feel like I had any control over anything, which is kind of the opposite of what a game is so, be careful with that! But definitely a solid core idea.

Thanks for playing, Ill be more careful with the controls and work on telegraphing things to the player. Thanks for the feedback

I love the intro and the art. The idea of having to avoid shooting the lady bugs coming in is cool too!

Loved the intro, and the whole feel in general! Made my child's heart warmer (: The controls were kinda tricky tho! Feel free to check and rate my game (:

Developer

Thanks for playing, Im glad you enjoyed! It makes me happy that I was able to warm your heart!! Ill check out your game soon

Very cool intro! Has a children's story book feel.  Perhaps do traditional mouse controls after updating it.  Great job submitting such a cool and colorful game.  Pls check out mine if you have time.

Developer

Thanks, Im glad that the storybook thing came through. I will play your game soon and thanks for the feedback!

Very cute art and a fun little game. :) But are the mouse controls inverted? That feels kind of wrong. :c

Developer(+1)

thanks! Yes, the x controls are reversed. I made the controls intentionally like that because I thought it was cool, added a challenge, and it fitted the theme. Though with a little practice you can master them if you want. Thanks for playing!!

Yes you are definitely right that it fits the theme very good. xD

That was so cute ^^ really enjoyed the story and the music. The theme is really beautiful. If you could work on the movement , juice and the gameplay,this could turn into a pretty beautiful game! Good job! be proud ^^ especially of your fantasy  :D  keep on going!

Developer

Thanks for playing!! Im so glad you enjoyed the story, the music was found in Youtube audio library. Thanks so much for the words of encouragement, I really appreciate it! Thank you

The game is looking very good Color choices great, was too hard for me to play, but a nice game experience tnx 

Developer

Thanks for playing! Im glad you enjoyed, np!

Cured!  And the flower is a-okay!  The amount of seeds that ladybug was spitting out; lol.

I did find myself waiting around for clovers a lot - I think the idea here is really cute and could be iterated on to make a great game for kids; perhaps instead of protecting one flower you are growing more; with every howevermany things collected flowers get added to a flower patch - but as far as tasking goes for a gamejam; this was well done!

Developer

Thats great! thanks for playing!! These ideas are really good, I really like the flower patch idea. Thanks for the feedback!

The art style is very adorable and it was good to see a jam game having some amount of story to it. I mostly love narratives in games so it鈥檚 always a plus in my books. The mouse seemed to control weird but I believe that adds to the strength considering the theme.

To add some constructive criticism for this. Try to add more player feedback and try to exaggerate movement and actions. If something is happening on the screen that you want the player to be aware of, exaggerate it.

But it鈥檚 a good little game, so good work and Keep at it. It鈥檚 all part of the learning process.

Meanwhile, if you like you can play my entry at https://bit.ly/glitchIn

Developer

Thanks for playing, Im glad you enjoyed the story and art. I feel like I was finally able to tell a story in my games, so yay!! I will try to add more player feedback in the future, mind me telling how to exaggerate the movement please? Thanks for the feedback and I will play your game soon!

Nice game, I love the art. I got realy confused with the whole reverse mouse movement at first and how the bugs are actually helping you. Maybe there could be some enemies added, because I found the most optimal way to play is to just sit at the bottom of the screen and wait for the clovers to come in. Also you made me feel so bad when I got a game over with the art and the music lool

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!! For the enemies, I was thinking about sticks that come from the flower at random, I might add that in a future update. Im sorry for making feel bad when you lose but...  Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

very interesting idea and I loved the cut scene at the start! 

tooke me a while to understand that I shouldn't shoot my friend and mouse aiming felt weird I don't get how it works. 

Developer

Thanks for playing!! Im glad you liked the cutscene. For the controls they are a bit reversed. If you want, you can practice and it should get easier but if it helps It should shoot up if your mouse is up and down if the mouse down.

It took me a couple times to "get" but once I did I thought it was pretty good. Interesting concept and a good fit for the theme with the reversed control. At first I was kinda confused why the flower was withering, but that turned out to be on a timer. Maybe some sort of timer bar or explaining it in the tutorial would have helped to clarify that.

Also the art and story is super super cute. Really liked it, definitly the cutest game I played of the jam. It made me really want to see what happenned after I finished it. Really nice game and concept overall so good work!

Developer

Thanks so much for the review and feedback!!Im glad you like the story and the art. You are right the flower is on a timer that takes health when a certain amount of time passes. Thanks again for the feedback!

cute game! the music was on point. 

Developer

thanks! I got the music from the Youtube audio library

I like the idea but the controls make it unplayable.
Is that supposed to be the intentional bug?
I'd like to play it with normal controls, that would be way more fun.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks for playing, I accidentally made the controls like that and I liked it so I left it in, also yes, the topic was another reason I left them in. I sure its playable and you can beat it, the controls are basically reversed . Thanks anyway for trying it out anyway and for the feedback!

Good game for a jam, realistic scope

Very cut drawings and funny light mood. But this game reminds you that, under the nice coat, life is pain and suffering, it is reaaaally hard ! Too hard to be satisfying imo but you're on something good to improve, and the little storytelling is fun !

Developer

Thanks for playing!! It can be hard but with a little practice you can beat it (if you want). Im glad you enjoyed the storytelling! thanks for the feedback
