Hunting Grounds by r3nrohan

[raw]
made by r3nrohan for LD 42 (JAM)

​You are a tiger who has to hunt deer to survive. If there are too many deer, then they will eat up all the grass and die out. If there are less than two deer left on the board, they cannot multiply and die out.

Meanwhile, the village around expands and shifts in territory, causing you and the deer to have less space.

Game by @r3nrohan (programming) and supriya.

Score and ability to return on main menu on the gameover screen could have been cool. The graphical assets are quite beautiful.

Couldn't actually get out of the game when I was finished playing.

The graphics are amazing and the executing of your concept is solid! The pace was a bit slow to my liking and I died a few times without knowing why, other than that, great job!

I really like the style. I would have loved a roar sound or building collapsing - sound but it's a solid nice little game. A handy thing would be to show the score on the game over screen so you dont have to remember it while playing.

@r3nrohan Sorry I'commented in the wrong tab =) But it's corrected now! The game is great but the time between turn is a little frustrating.

It felt a little slow, maybe speed up wait time a little.

Sound would've been nice too, but I know that's not always possible for LD games (:

The art style was very nice.

Nice job!

The concept is good and the graphics are good too. Next it is quite hard to determine what is a good strategy and as said above the pace is to slow for me too.

Some sound would be nice, and I agree that the game's quite slow. I don't quite get why I have to wait between each turn. Is the world updating in realtime? I was under the impression that the world updates only when I move (turn based)
