Love the idea of making a game a day - that sounds like a crazy workload! Fun concept of the game, especially made in such little time. Thanks for jamming with us :)

Took a little trial & error to work out the game play. Didn't always work so had to refresh once or twice too. Such is the game jam life!

However - once it worked and I got the hang of it, a fun and interesting concept and game play. I really liked the art style and the lighting of the scene. Audio worked well to support the ambience & I'm a big fan of the dogs bark.. sounds familiar almost..

Would love to see this again post-jam if you worked on it more. Maybe add a little tutorial, a video of how to play or whatever. 

Good entry! Thanks for jamming with us :)

Absolute king of analogue horror. Despite you assuring me there were no jump scares, my heart rate was up, and I was tense enough that I didn't quite believe you! Really well done, perfect atmosphere. Damn Shadow, you scary!

Another banger of an entry from Maud, Frits & co. Really amazing ambience and vibe for a game jam game! I was really sucked in. The art style is wonderful, game play was smooth & I think you found up some good audio to work with your entry. 

Really enjoyed this!

Thanks for jamming with us again :)

Cute game and lovely visuals! Props to your artists, I can see their style developing and getting better every jam. :)

Fun game, ran smoothly and didn't find any bugs which is always a bonus right?! 

Could be a little confusing at times to work out what combinations were for what request, and not too sure where doppelganger comes in - but a very solid well rounded game all in all!

Fun and cute game! You're right - it does feel cosy. :) Again I had a little difficulty with the watering but it wasn't bad enough to make me enjoy less, just always worth a mention of something struggled with!

I think you chose good audio for your game too. :)

Well done on making this in 48 hours! And thanks for joining our jam. :)

This is very cute!! I like your take on the theme. It reminds me a little of Nintendogs where you could wash and groom your dogs. :)

I like that we can pet the dog!! And love that you used physical drawings and implemented them in the game - so creative. :)

Thanks for joining our jam.

I saw this was your first jam? Well done for making & submitting a game in 48 hours! We hope you had fun. :) 

I agree with lots of the feedback here - but i think you've a really solid and fun foundation to work on further if you wanted to! I'd be excited to see any updates.

Thanks for jamming with us :)

The nails are overgrown!! That's why you're scratching them down. Dogs nails being too long is bad for their foot health!

I love this take on the theme!! Really out of the box thinking there - congratulations. I think it fits overgrown perfectly. :) 

Quite simple - but well made! i liked the visual of the nails shrinking. Easy to use controls and good explanation of how to play.

Thanks for jamming with us :)

This is fantastic. The scream I scrumpt when my own wheat had the audacity to fight me... how dare it. Really cool mechanics and I really liked the sort of jump scare of realising WHY I needed the ability to shove etc.

As others have mentioned - I'd love the option to be able to see how many plants I have harvested somewhere on screen - as I found myself going back and just spam clicking customers faces til I ran out.

Artwork is super cute and the music fits really well. This honestly could be a spooky jam entry AS WELL as a spring one!

Thanks for jamming with us again :) 

Fun game play :) And thank you for listing your AI use! Not everyone always admits to using it. 

I thought the music and sounds you chose fit well for your game and you get the feel of spring in there for sure!

Thanks for joining our jam :)

Oh this is lovely!! Absolutely my type of art style, sooo cute. This feels such a unique game for this jam. :)

I really liked the gameplay. I do think that the "turning circle" of the bee could be a little unforgiving at times, and my clicks were not 100% registered - but that's fine!! I learned as I progressed. :)

I'd like to be able to get rid of some weeds somehow. Maybe you can buy weed killer with the honey you collect or something and make it timed rounds? Just a quick thought! 

Great job on this - and thanks for joining our jam!!

Congrats on a complete game as a solo dev! :) Well done you. Going for a simple idea but making it well has really pulled off for you! Movement feels good, difficulty feels balanced - great job :)

thanks for joining our jam

Cool game guys! I really dig the artwork on this one. :) Really like you using the theme for an endless runner too. I think you really applied the overgrown aspect well!

As others have commented - the timer can feel a little long, especially in the first few attempts when you're finding your feet and a count down is longer than a run.

If you worked on this further, I'd love to see the ability to perhaps upgrade your tool, or perhaps buy a "life" so you can take a hit and continue etc. Maybe earn points per second?? Just an idea. :)

Great entry - and thanks again for jamming with us ya'll! <3

Thank you so much! That's so kind of you. :) Thanks for jamming with us!!

Aww thank you! We've had many jam/hosting combos worth of practise! 

Thanks for your lovely words and thanks for jamming with us :)

Thank you :)

maybe post rating period we add in the famous bear towers...

Thank you!!

We tried to make it not too easy, otherwise the game would be over quite quick! Bears aren't too dexterous... 

You're right though! We had practise from testing haha.

Thank you so much :)

Thank you so much! Cozy gaming is a lifestyle choice that I abide by so that's a big compliment!

Thank you so much! It was quite an undertaking.. but I've definitely done more assets before. The hardest is always the walking cycles as I've no idea how to animate so I just draw every frame hahaha.

Thanks for your kind words :)

Common Agent Jo W, this is incredible! As per usual how much you have achieved as a solo dev is something to admire and behold. Well done Jo!

I really loved your poem at the start - you're right, it did lure me in! The game was fun to play and really did get me thinking to try not only to do it fast but also use some bigger or more unique words. 

One thing I would love is if there was the option to see the story so far on a scroller or something to the side - sometimes I found myself forgetting what the previous sentence had said or hadn't read it properly before I had moved on. (too eager to play the game!!) so I'd love the option to give the story some more of the attention it deserved.

Absolutely great work, and I'll play again to try beat my score after rating some others!

Well done Jo!! :)

Aww - thank you so much Jo! That's really nice of you to say. :) 

We had a real fun time making this one, and I'm definitely getting more comfortable in my art style as I do more jams. We were going to add some stretch goals of enemies or more games.. but 3 plus platforming is quite a lot!

Thanks again, and thanks for jamming with us! :) <3

Thank you so much! We tried to make it a little more fun than usual :)

Thank you so much!! I do too :)

Fun game!! Does it have an end?? if so I didn't find it! I got to wave 15 and had to close the game as I need to rate others. I do love a tower defence though!!

If you updated further I would love to see -

• More tower types
• The bugs fighting back!
• Perhaps the upgrades button elsewhere... I forgot I could until wave 10!! 
• Maybe some brighter or more contrasting colours, at certain points it was hard to see the blue flowers against the dirt. May be an issue for people who struggle with colour blindness!

Super fun game. Thanks for jamming with us again!

Hello fellow bear game makers!!

This is a really cute idea. I'm bias, I love bears. I love his little sword. I can see in your description some things are not working as intended - please update after the ratings!! This seems a really charming game to play :)

thanks for joining our jam!

Fun concept! I love a city builder etc so this was my kind of game. Spent a lot of time playing. :) A little splash screen of some story would really make the game take a new level I think. 

Thanks for joining our jam!

Nice art style! I liked the animations too. Again, I'm not sure exactly what to do. Either a splash screen with instructions/the story would help, or filling in the jam game page further :)

Fun game! Wasn't entirely sure what I was supposed to be doing - did I want more purple carrots?! 

Managed to get a bug where if I planted a carrot behind a bunny at least on the bottom row, they would get stuck and never go back home.

Definitely fun to play, good art and I like the idea of helping the bunnies out! Will play again when updated :)

Thanks for joining out jam!

Well done for doing so much work as a solo dev! That's not easy at all to do so much in the 48 hours. I found it a little confusing at first but got to grips with it after a while. :) I'd love to come back and play if you worked on this further after the jam!

What a helpful little bunny! Well done for getting a complete game submitted as a solo dev :) It's hard when there's lots of teams!!

I'd like the idea of maybe adding that the leaves fold under your weight so there's a time element to it to encourage you to go faster.

Thanks for jamming with us!

I got 3946!! Wahoo! :)  
THanks for joining our jam!

hahaha this is so random!! Good job :) Thanks for jamming with us!

I like the mechanics and the game design here. The art is cute too. However, like others have said - it's quite confusing on what to do or why we are doing it. Either a little title page or even filling out your jam submission page with some instructions would really help players.

Thanks for jamming with us :)

Not sure if the game was working too correctly for me - I just got falling eggs and then some blank boxes appearing! However, the animations were very cute and the art was well polished. The concept from the description sounds super fun to play!

Well done for getting so much done as a solo dev! Fun concept and I enjoyed my time playing. :) Thanks for jamming with us!

Cute little game! :) I like his big scissors. You made everything pull together very nicely
