Thanks a bunch! I’m looking forward to replaying the game :D

The windows build is completely unplayable on my pc. In the introduction level the explosions and fire are unavoidable and kill me basically instantly. Completely different experience on the web build of the game where I take way less damage and can outrun the explosions. Highly recommend looking into this issue if you can. My guess is that something is tied to framerate in an unintended way. Unsure if its damage thats the issue, or the player’s movement speed, or the speed at which the explosions catch up to the player on the plane.

This first video is the windows build

This next one is the web build:

Extremely well done on all fronts. I only have minimal gripes on this game that really aren’t even worth mentioning. I really wasn’t sure what to expect, but by the end I found it very engaging. The writing is well thought out and the character designs were honestly incredible. I especially loved the scarecrow’s design. Taking into consideration that basically every part of the experience was made during the jam period really inspires me to achieve this level of finality and quality with my projects.

Congratulations on completing this project!

The presentation and polish is pretty incredible, but I was rather let down by the difficulty. The concept is executed well, and I love the artstyle and sound design, but the gameplay I found frustrating more than fun. The room for error getting around most obstacles could do with some tweaking. Making the glowing orbs smaller in key areas would go a long way. Overall though this is impressive and I wouldn’t be suprised if this ended up as one of the highest rated for the jam.

I had fun with this one but the difficulty curve is steep. Some of the puzzles are way too difficult for a gamejam project. I think introducing some smaller puzzles sprinkled in-between certain levels would go a long way. Overall nice game though. I like the artstyle a lot, and the ethereal vibes the soundtrack brings.

Hello, I am genuienly enjoying myself with this game. I love the fact that you used the music and some of the sfx from Digimon World Championship. However, this game is in desperate need of various fundamental things:

• Volume sliders (preferably individual sliders for sfx, music, etc)

• hotkeys for opening certain menus on PC and the ability to customize them.

• Options for switching between fullscreen/windowed/ and borderless from the options menu

• This one might be user error on my part but I did not see a way to close the app without just closing the application window itself or alt-f4 or something similar. Make a “quit” button in one of the menus

• Also it would be nice to know where save data is stored (on Windows) so that I can back up my profile myself. Or provide the means of managing the save data location from within the game.

I understand that this game may be mobile-first, but please consider patching these changes in, thank you!

That’s incredibly flattering coming from the creator of one of the best games this jam! Thank you! I’ll be making some minor adjustments to fix some of the graphical / technical / general bugs. Expect a small patch this week. Later down the line I might even consider starting from scratch to produce a full release game.

Highly recommend updating the itch.io page to include screenshots or footage of the game.

Highly recommend updating the game’s itch.io page to include screenshots or gifs or something else showcasing the game. You will get a lot more traction that way

Super creative concept that I could easily see being expanded into its own game. Nice work!

Pretty okay overall, definitely could have used a volume slider, not just something to mute the music.

Really well polished and intuitive approach to puzzle platforming. Pretty impressive for such a short jam period. Nice job!

I’m not sure if this is just a me problem but the way bullets bounce off walls seems to be completely random and basically makes this game completely RNG based. It doesn’t affect the difficulty too bad but it does diminish how fun this game could be. Also when firing bullets before they deflect of walls they move slower than after being deflected. The speed of bullets in this state should be increased by at least 2 times.

This is otherwise a pretty well put together top down shooter.

MUCH improved, hopefully this game gets a bit more traction before the voting period is over!

This is a lovely and simple tower defense game. I think it could make for a pretty decent mobile title! You should consider fleshing out the mechanics more and making it a full release!

Congratz on a well polished a fun jam entry!

After triple checking the consensus is that you can. I’ve made minor changes to mine during the voting period. It shouldnt be a problem. You just CANT add things to your actual game unless its to fix game breaking bugs.

This is an easy 5/5 across the board. Simple idea executed flawlessly for such a short jam period. Sad I only recently discovered this one.

My Gripes:

• Not being able to strafe in the air feels like an arbitrary limitation, and not a good one in my opinion
• Visual indication of some sort for when the bomb explodes would have been a nice addition
• Player movement sounds and feels good but visual looks stiff. The particles are perfectly fine but more animation would have gone a long way to juice everything up

Seriously though, once again, this is basically the perfect jam game. Not a flawless game, but a nicely polished experience that executes a good idea well. Very impressive!

You can edit the itch.io page right now if you wanted to. I don’t believe it is against the rules of the jam.

The title is accurate ~ 10/10

Really fun to play! I wish more could have been done to explore the core concept further but the movement mechanics feel fun to use, and although the concept is a bit simple the game still feels cohesive. Nice work!

Thank you for taking the time to play our game! I appreciate your feedback and will be making adjustments in the post voting period patch I am planning on implementing. The randomness was toned up a bit too much and was intended to be pseudo-random to give it a more plant-like feel. Kind of backfired. Level balance was tricky, I’ve come to realize that making the game easier is usually the better way to go.

Once again, thank you for the feedback, and for hosting the jam. It has been such a massive learning experience. Looking forward to participating in any future MashUp game jams!

I 100 percent understand the feel. I tried really hard to maintain clean coding practices but the closer me and my partner got to finishing the game, the more creative liberties I took.

I think starting from the ground up would be VERY worth it as its clear to me after playing that your team is capable of making something compelling and polished in a reasonable time frame. I would HEAVILY consider exploring this game further!

Whether you do or don’t, I still very much enjoyed what is here. And once again, Nice job!

I have a couple of gripes here. One is that the sfx are a bit much. Not volume-wise, they just don’t sound like they fit the aesthetic of the game, and get old fast. The other are the tank controls which on paper sound pretty great, but I would have much preferred to aim with the mouse instead of A and D.

This is otherwise a VERY creative and fun concept executed very well in such a short time frame. Was very fun to play!

EXCUSE ME…. CAN U MAYBE…. make this a full game?

I, and I’m sure many others, are in need of a Plants v. Zombies spiritual successor after the studio behind it got bought out by EA. PvZ hasnt really been the same since garden warfare….

Edit: Oh yeah => 10/10 will play again

This game is beautiful! Hopefully more people will play this before the voting period ends. Really amazing stuff. Its just a nice simple short game with lovely atmosphere and writing.

10/10 for me this jam.

Please, I am 2 MINUTES IN…. 10/10

WHY HAVENT MORE PEOPLE PLAYED THIS! Its a bit unbalanced but holy heck its so freaking fun! YOU NEED TO ADD SCREENSHOTS ON THE ITCH PAGE! DSNGSDKGNDSJKGNEKJGNKNKEGKENE VKLE LNFSL. This could unironically become a real game. Perhaps the Tetris pieces are confined to a space in front of the player’s base and the minions and towers need to be placed in a zone in the middle of the field? I dont think ima be able to articulate this without drawing it. Anyways yeah this game is PHAT

Oh woops, didn’t read. My b

The voice acting is phenomenal, and the dialogue is very well written. Although simple this is a lovely well crafted game for a short jam! This should definitely be one of the highest rated! Nice work!

“Just exit your browser five-head”

>:(((((( 0/10

But in all seriousness, really great work here. Its very well polished and the art is obviously beautiful combined with the music. Very relaxing game! Sad that I’ve missed it until seeing it in the discord earlier today.

You have a strong eye for cohesive game design. You’re definitely improving, and very quickly.

Gosh I’ve been trying so hard to nail jumping in games haha! Maybe character controllers aren’t my thing.

Thank you for such high praise. All of the comments we’ve received have been highly motivating for me. Im not sure what to really do with this little game jam project but it would be a shame not to fix many of the minor technical issues so I will at least develop a patch after the voting period.

I’m honestly just hoping to improve from previous jam entries I’ve submitted. If we win in a category then that’s just a bonus! Glad you enjoyed the game! Thanks for playing!

I gotta know what you use to make games. There is just such a high level of juice and polish for a jam game :D

Highly recommend tinkering with Unity’s 2D tools and getting a grip of what they are capable of. When first learning how to use the Tilemap component and tile palette window it was extremely tedious and probably slowed development time rather than improved it. This time around I knew what I was getting into but I still have a lot to learn.

Anyways thank you for playing!

Very flattering coming from someone who possesses a clear understanding of game design and creation. I’ve played some of your other games. Many are super well polished. Thank you for taking the time to play our game!

Many of the quality concerns are due to time constraints. Next time around I plan on planning out asset development more and streamlining the process. The vision for the game wasn’t as clear early Saturday as it was mid Sunday.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked the game!
