Excellent game, this is really good. The ending is funny, and kind of sad. I like the twist in the whack-a-mole type of game. It's hard but not unfair. Good game overall.

I enjoyed it alot. Very nice and funny game concept. Wish the animaiton was a little bit better and slower. Keep up the good work!

Really very fun game! There could be several types of attackers or some power ups!

Damn I love the particle effects as well as the screen shake makes the game really nice as well as the cool intro scene. The controls are nice once you get used to them but can be a little bit fiddly for rotating around yourself. The soundtrack/sound effects are really well made and the particle effect are nice too I would have loved another sprite instead of the Unity Knob, but besides that really cool game.

This is a great game, the graphics is outstanding, and the audio suits the game perfectly. is it made by you? I can actually see this game on the nintendo switch with a little more polish. I don't know where, but yeah.

[SUMMARY] 📊

Weasel real estate is a surprisingly polished game for a week-long game jam. The good use of post processing and the possibilities of unlocking features on completion really stand out. Gameplay, on the other hand, suffers from a slight lack of depth.

[GAME DESIGN] 🎲

An interesting mix of tetris and top-down shooter mechanics. I just wished the game relied more on the "tetris" side and allowed for more interesting interactions between moles and holes. Still, an interesting idea worth exploring further.

[FUN] 🤣

I can definitely say that I had fun playing this game. There's a certain satisfaction on making your weasel go nuts with the hammer and to get stressed out by the sheer number of moles invading one's property. I just wished you guys had a bit more of time to polish the digging and hitting effects. 

[INNOVATION] 💡

I've not seen a game like this before. It's an interesting idea, albeit a bit over-done in this jam in particular.

[THEME]📖

It sticks to the theme, and it does it well. It could have used some more graphics to emphasize it, although just as a "nice to have" feature.

[GRAPHICS]🎨

Spot on and consistent through the game. Also, a fan of the highly polished UI. The mole digging effects feel a bit out of place, but aren't particularly distracting. Very good job on this side.

[AUDIO]🔊

Good enough. The sound effects are there, and the music is catchy and goes very well with the overall theme of the game. As a side note, the music stops when going from the main menu to the game itself. I recommend to use a DontDestroyOnLoad audio source if you're planning on doing this on the future. It gets rid of the "cut" and provides a more seamless transition from main menu to the game. 

[FINAL RATING]  🥇

A top contestant of this jam. Graphics do the game very well, but the lack of polish behind the game design cannot go unnoticed. Also, some graphical bugs bring the score a tad bit down. 8 / 10

Thank you for the highly detailed review! We greatly appreciate this in depth feed back! Our developers will take your points such as the audio cutting into consideration if we continue development on Weasel Real Estate :)

Lots of frenetic action, cute graphics, fun music.  Nice starting menu + cutscreens as well.  I did encounter a bug where my hammer stopped working at one point, though. Overall, a really nice game!

Real polished game. At first i thought "that's easy.." but in the next second i got overrun. That was really fun. One of the best games.

Developer

Teehee, how tricky of us! ;)

Such a cute and fun game! It's so relaxing and enjoyable by knocking the moles. You have even make Easter eggs. Unfortunately, I could only found the top hat.

Developer

Wow! That's impressive actually! I think you can get a 100% tutorial by one of the speed runners that player our game > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSAoN2bXwzc

Omg, that's dope! I don't even know how did I get the top hat LOL

Submitted(+1)

Really cute game! Feels like a cross between whackamole game and plants vs zombies, only thing is the movement and pacing  (especially in the hammering) could be improved. Nice work!

I absolutely love this game! I agree with the comment before me about the aiming, but other than that it was great! The graphics were amazing and love the little details like hitting the moles :)

Very fun and well designed game! Managed to withstand all 5 waves from 3rd try.

I think controls would be much more handy if you could aim with the mouse.
And drawing a grid on the ground is not necessary.

Really cool game design ideas! It was fun to play and control.  The lowpoly graphics are super awesome! Also, there is tons of good game juice. Great job submitting such a polished game to the jam!  Please check out mine when you have time :)
