Save The Sowing by Lexiiiy

[raw]
made by Lexiiiy for Ludum Dare 52 (JAM)

What can interfere with the simple life of a farmer? Of course, a virus that turns all of his plants into ugly monsters that prey on him. Sow plants, collect their fruits and fight off monsters for points! Planting plants costs points. Remember, the game is 5 minutes long, collect as many points as possible during this time! Welcome to Save The Sowing!

To close the game, press alt + f4. To play the game, download the archive (zip), unpack to any location and run 'Save The Sawing.exe'.

After the end of the game, the game restarts. This is our first game and the first GameJam.

We hope for adequate criticism and that you will like it.

============================================================================================

Control of the game:

Player Movement - WASD buttons. To plant something on the bed, you need to stop near it, point at the bed with the mouse and press the right or left mouse button (depending on the button, carrots or watermelon will grow on the ground). Score is spent on planting vegetables. If you want to harvest, then stand next to it and left-click on the vegetable. If you don't do this for a long time, the vegetable will turn into a monster. To kill a monster, you need to shoot it. The shot takes place on the left mouse button. Each shot is worth 1 score. Score increases by 1 every 5 seconds.

To get a score, you need to harvest or kill monsters. (more points are given for destroying a monster =))

I managed to score 779. At the start I was confused about controls and what to do but after a while I understood it. Game was fun.

Some sort of tutorial in your post or in the game would be helpful. I like the idea and the graphics a lot. The game has potential.

Nice little game! I was confused how to play at first, but then I read your instructions. Smooth movement and control, everything worked for me.

First of all ILOVE THE LEGO/MINECRAFT STYLE AND THE COLORS <3
There is a little bit similar game I tried in this game jam, but different style and manual. This game would be great with more veggies, some reward or upgrades with different levels, possibly more monsters, maybe big boss as well. But kudos and this is your first game jam! This is really great game with a lot of potential <3

Congrats on your first jam! Smooth movement and interesting voxel graphics. I had some issues placing more that 4 veggies at the time, it might be due to positioning of your character. Killing the funny monsters was fun.

Your game is fun, looks and sounds great! The click feedback was a bit vague and it wasn't fully clear how the shooting and sowing works because of that. When hovering and clicking stuff, some more audio and visual feedback would've helped.
