I'm guessing you guys didn't have enough time to finish connecting the mechanics, but even as it is now it has some good qualities. The first levels have some nice progression teaching new mechanics and steadily increasing the challenge, good game design there.

I had a lot of fun palying this, I love puzzle games and the artstyle was very pleasing to the eye. There was a dog looking the whole time and it bother me, I though he would eventually chase me down or something lol

Hi buddies, I come to test your game! Well done, I really like the graphic design, and the whole thing is fun to play. At first I thought it was a quiet little puzzle game, but it's actually an action survival game!

The graphics were amazing, and I loved the puzzles. The introduction of the combine harvesters caught me off guard and I was pleasantly surprised. The tutorial was handled fantastically as well.

That being said, I wish that there was at least some sounds incorporated into the game. While the graphics are top notch, the game feels empty without audio feedback or music.

Update: I just tried out v1.1 and I was super happy to hear music! I'd suggest that scene changes don't interrupt the music so abruptly if possible. A pause menu with volume controls would also be nice too.

Thank you @multipixels
We are still working to improve the game, a menu, upgrades between levels and more :)

Tank you very much

Interesting games add survival challenges and make the entire process tense, but death is too quick for me, good job!

The artwork looked very promising but the jam version (which I played) let a bit down because the health and other UI elements didn't do anything. The mechanics are pretty cool tho, I like the concept! :)

Needs sounds to really add feedback and game feel. Models are good but something was off with the post processing as the overall visuals didn't feel grounded. maybe to much bloom

I played the jam version and it was a bit of a let down that the ui didn't work. Next time a web version would be much appreciated

Oh the venerable @kilirane came here! :o Great pleasure!!! Hope you'll like the 1.2 version ;)

@cemkaanu sadly we didn't manage to integrate the sound on time, so it's only in the 1.1 :/

@wouterk12 yeah we could'nt get it working for the jam version :shrug:

@deathbysnail good idea for the web version!

I played to something like the 12th level without loosing a life. Quite fun, but it seemed like there was no particular benefit to eating most of the crop or letting the harvesters clean out the field. Which felt a bit strange too. I also never saw any of the special crop. Not sure if there was something I didn't understand there. I played the Jam version.

@local-minimum yeah the corns were supposed to be for buying upgrades in an end level shop. We could not get this upgrades system working on time, so it's only in the 1.21 version!

I was enjoying this and then it cut to a black screen after about the 20th level. Was that supposed to happen?

Great idea, fun gameplay. Game feel is really good when we collect crops. Visuals are very good too. Even if UI and health mechanic does not work in jam version, I had fun playing it. (I played around 21 levels). I like the game design which progresses in a good pace, not too slow to bore player, not too fast to anger the player. Liked the different types of enemies and obstacles. Great in design and gameplay. Also I guess there is no audio in the jam version :( I would like to play the updated version when it is fully ready. Good job mate!

@shiiro-10psi sorry for this bug! In the 1.0 jam version, we have 19 levels, after which it is supposed to loop on the 19th level forever (:sweat_smile:).
So an ending was added in the 1.2 Bowerful update! Don't hesitate to give it a try :smile:

@lizelive thank you! :heart:

@hayricakir thanks! Good news too, the 1.2 is the final greatly improved version you are looking for! :stars:

I've played to the 1.2 version.
I like a lot the game, it's a nice way to make puzzles great again!
The mood is cool, and the game is fun even if the character can be hard to control sometimes.
Well done!
