The art in this game was excellent! The player movement felt slightly slow to me, but overall the game was really enjoyable. Nice job!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

When I played this, I could feel that various things didn't make the cut as you said, but there is definitely potential! It would be great with new weapons, items that appear from breaking elements, more ennemies variety like fast and rolling tomatoes or some spitting tomato sauce on you haha. I'd also would like the game to be a bit more fast-paced, sometimes the character feels too slow imo. Anyway, the mood is very good and I like the graphics too! You should definitely continue working on it!

Developer

Thanks Jeremy. Great feedback. I'll be addressing the points you have mentioned.

Friend, this is for me the best I've seen in this jam, the style, the sound, the history, the references, etc. Congratulations, you rocked with this.

You should give the option to download.

Developer

Wow, great feedback! Thanks for playing. I think you can download with the itch.io app, maybe.

I don't know if it was your intention but the atmosphere and gameplay reminds me a lot of "Zombies Ate My Neighbors". Really cool sprites! (especially all the player walking animations).

I felt that the player character is a little slow but that may just be personal taste.

cool game! (thank you for adding a map...)

As I was building it I did feel like it was becoming similar to Zombies Ate My Neighbours. The top view of the hedges and all. No trampolines though but maybe that would be cool! Thanks for playing.

Cool little game lol. Chainsawing the tomatoes was oddly satisfying tbh, though it could have used more juice ( pun intended )

I think the game could have benefitted from everything being more faster tbh. Let it be the player or the tomatoes.

The artwork for the game was fantastic though. Loved the animations and the sprites as a whole. Also loved the music as well.

All in all, it's a cool little game which also got a bit of a chuckle out of me lol

Developer

Thanks for playing until the end! And great feedback, thanks!

I like the overall concept of the game. Displaying the map is a fantastic idea. Otherwise, you would probably get lost.

I think the game could be slightly more difficult. Maybe increasing the speed of the tomatoes would be sufficient. I thought also that the character moves a bit too slow.

But overall a nice game and I liked the animations and music.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I did want to add some speed trainers to collect and up the enemy tempo towards the end of the game. But couldn't get those implemented before the end of the jam unfortunately. Thanks for playing.

Fun times! Loved the animations and the catchy tune! I saved the city!

Thanks Johan! An honour you played my game.

The game is awesome! Attacking the tomatoes is super fun and so is the music. Where’s the singing?

Developer(+1)

Haha! You must be as old as me if you remember the singing! Thanks for playing.

What an amazing game! The chainsaw is so satisfying to use and the particles of the tomatoes are incredible!

Well done!

Developer

Thank you. And thanks for playing!

Fun game! Clear sprites and fun animations. The map is a nice touch too.

Developer

Thanks Wammoh!

The walk animation for the character is very satisfying. I did get frozen during the boss unfortunately, but everything worked great otherwise. Having a working map is a cool feature.

Developer

Thanks for playing to the end. Sorry about the boss!

Submitted

Good stuff! I did manage to crash the game on the boss somehow, but I really like this game :)

Developer

That's what I get for trying to squeeze a boss into the game right before the deadline! Sorry about that. Will upload a fix when the voting period over. Thanks for playing.
