Gardening Rabbit by lurils

[raw]
made by lurils for LD34 (JAM)
A and D are the only controls
Should be pretty straight forward

Wanted to try to make something based/inspired on Game & Watch games (and other similar ones) just for fun. Thanks to some unexpected issues only one of the "game types" work, but either buttons should take you to it.
Hope you like this simple game.

You nailed the looks and feel of a Game and watch type game. I would love to have this on mobile. Great job.

Fantastic atmosphere you've captured in this entry, down to graphics, mechanics, and even sound. The audio may be the weakest point though, some sound effects sound really fatiguing. I get the aesthetic you were going for but maybe get an equalizer on some of those sounds, specially the one that plays when you complete watering the plant.

This game has the perfect amount of retro-feel to it. It's simplistic, easy to pick up and grasp, and absolutely wonderful. My only complaint is that occasionally I would move into a spot where an object had just disappeared and still lose a life, which felt a little bit frustrating at times. Nice game!

The look and sounds are spot on for a game and watch clone. The game is a bit hard to figure out though. I'm not sure where the eggs are hitting my bunny.

The graphics are really cute. It does make me think of the old LCD games that I got a long time ago.

I'm sorry, seems that, for some reason (haven't figured out yet), an egg will still count as a hit up to a second after it's been gone, trying to figure out why...

I'm still not sure "what" is going on in the game. I get the rabbit and the water droplets cause the plants to grow in segments... but some how the birds make you lose... The conveyance wasn't there.

visually, it is indeed a game and watch, good work.

2 button controls, yes, though it would have been nice to see something more done with them other than a basic left and right movement.

Pretty great for 3 days.

This really made me nostalgia. The way you recreated these old tiger electronics/game and watch games is amazing! The gameplay in itself is also lots of fun, even if it is a little hard to avoid the crap.

Really feels as a Game & Watch. Everything in the game is nice, except that it's a bit repetitive after a while. Great game. Also, why have took down the innovation category? :)

4/5

I don't think I added much to it while trying to mimic an old style, so there is no innovation here, in my opinion -w-

That is awesome, really feels like I'm playing on an old casio watch or something.

Yeah, you nailed that style you were going for. Good work : )

Is the rhythm of the game supposed to change or is that some kind of lag? That was kind of distracting to me.

the only change that is supposed to happen is a small stop when you are hit, but then it goes back to the usual rhythm... otherwise it may be lag...

Yeah, everyone saying you nailed the look and feel of old Game and Watch are 100% correct. Super cool.

Really reminds me of those old mini games I used to have, it does get boring after a while, but very original concept.

Ah, i do love this aesthetic. The bunny in particular looks adorable. The game is cute, though it does get repetitive; gradually speeding up the pace might have made it more interesting. Still, solid entry, nice work!

It feels like a Game & Watch game through and through. In both the positive and the negative connotations.

Gosh, my childhood! Very nicely executed, definitely in the theme. Lacked some incentive except highscoring, like I suppose most of those actual Game&Watch did :)
