Absolutely loved this game! From the name to the game play. Beat it in about an hour and will play again with some friends and different strategies!

A fun, unexpected twist on farming simulators. I loved the different mechanics for each plant and deciding where to put skillpoints. Would like to see the Buy menu on the shop be more visible, I didn't notice it for far too long.

Developer

I appreciate the feedback! We will try to make the Buy-menu more noticable after the jam. Thanks for playing!

As someone who likes farming games and FPS games,  I got into this game very quickly! I was excited to unlock more and see new monsters I could defeat. I loved the style, it reminded me of Minecraft at first. A really fun take on the mode theme. Really good job on this :))

Thank you for the kind words! It's nice to hear the game was easy to learn. Thanks for playing!

Loved this game loop. Took a big to figure things out but I very much enjoyed it. Unique and clear, addictive progression!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it! Making progression feel rewarding was one of our main focuses during development. Thanks for playing!

I really enjoyed this game! What I first thought looked like minecraft with guns quickly hooked me. The skill unlocks you chose fit very well into the game to give the player something to make progress with, and the variety of plants and enemies combined with letting the player choose what enemies to go up against next was a really interesting choice! I also liked the weeds concept which forces the game to become more difficult as you unlock more areas even if you don't plant something in an unlocked patch.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for great feedback.  Yeah, the weeds were put there to make sure that even the lazy farmers had to do some Harvesting  :D  Glad you enjoyed the game. Thanks for playing!

Very fun to play, i could definitely see this becoming a full game.

Developer

I appreciate that! Thanks for playing!

Super fun game! I really like the art direction that you went with.  I love the variety/customization that you can do with farming too. The movement and gun firing felt really polished. The mode switching is really clear. It was a nice idea being able to build up toward a big boss fight at the end. Spectacular game!

Developer

Thank you for your kind words! SurffingBird did alot of great concept art to build the art from. I'm happy that our efforts making content variety and polishing show in the finished game. Thanks for playing!

what an absolute gem of a game! this needs to be worked on post jam and published on steam!! loved it

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing and streaming! I hope the game wasn't too riddled with bugs :D

Submitted(+1)

A highlight of the jam for sure! The art style is great and pairs well with the farming sim style. The movement has some heft to it and the guns have some weight to their sounds. The two different modes play into each other very well; their integration with each other so important the game couldn't work without both. You guys did an excellent job!

Developer

Much obliged! I'm happy how the weapon sounds turned out. I'm also happy how the game turned out overall :D
Thanks for playing!

Super awesome game I would probably spend far too long in if the difficulty was tweaked a bit higher for an out of jam version. Very fertile ground for a longer campaign or tower defense. Had a blast. The charm of the presentation is hard to understate and I enjoyed myself thoroughly. :] 

Developer(+1)

That means alot to us! That gives me an idea for a new game plus. I enjoyed your stream and kept watching long after our game was played. Indie developer interviews within jams is a very interesting concept and I hope you continue doing those after this jam. Thanks for playing!

This game is fun. Very good presentation. Pretty challenging, i like the character designs. Especially the frog. Great game!

Developer(+1)

It's nice to hear you say that! We went through a couple of character designs during developement to find the style we wanted. Thanks for playing!

This was a really cool game, very well done and so much to it!  The only issue I could find was I kept accidentally hitting escape instead of clicking the buttons while in the shop and that could mess up my game state when playing on windows.  But very small bug considering all that's in your game!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! We could definitely add that feature to the game after the jam. Thanks for playing!

This was really well put together and felt super polished. I liked the balance of deciding how much to plant vs how much you think you can take on. The pumpkin boss was a great way to end it, too. Super fun game!

Developer

Much obliged! We put alot of effort into polishing and game balance early on during the development, so I'm glad it shows. Thanks for playing!

The gameplay loop of farming, shooting the vegetables, and then selling their slices for upgrades is great.

Developer

I appreciate that! Thanks for playing.

Really fun from start to finish! Felt very polished for a jam game, this was a great entry :)

Developer

That's kind of you to say! Thanks for playing!

Really fun gardening/fps/tower defense mashup! Great art and music as well! I built so many turrets game started lagging a lot lol.

Developer

That means alot as we haven't done this much art or music before! Yeah, the freedom we give to the players made the game quite hard to optimize. Thanks for playing!

Good stuff! Great trope subversion done in a satisfying way. The way you can build up your own challenge to suit your needs is mechanically interesting, and the payoff is engaging enough that it keeps players invested in the game loop. While the game works great in a small package, this concept could definitely be expanded to great effect. Great work, and I hope you all keep working on it!

Developer(+1)

I'm happy to hear you found the game mechanics engaging! Thanks for playing!
