LOVE IT! The hand-drawn style graphics and acapella audio reminded me a lot of the Jelly Car series

Very fun and best audio I've seen in a game so far. Few bugs though. The stamina bar didn't work and my carrot died before the health reached 0 :( Also it would have been cool if the growing tail of the worm had a hitbox as well.

Pretty funny. Movement feels good. I think maybe the worm could always follow the cursor?

@masternoob Yes i'm proud of the movement :v: Thank you for playing.

I really enjoyed the sound effects and hand-drawn graphics, it gives the whole game a nice feel :) It would be cool to have a score or something at the end, although I might have just missed it if there's an ending because I couldn't survive for very long :p

Love the sound effects! Movement is smooth and the game mechanic is easy to understand. Really enjoyed the game, reminds me of flash games I've played when I was a kid.

Super fun/funny! The controls were a bit frustrating at times, but maybe that's just because I used a track pad. Love the audio.

@cobear25 Yes, a track pad isn't realy ideel for this game you could try it on your phone :)
Thanks for the revieuw

A very funny and also pretty well made jam game. I love the visuals and the voice over. For some reason I am not sure I can get to all the enemies, or at least I keep getting warnings at long the site of the screen and I am not always able to get there. But overall a good jam game. Well done.

@jk5000 Thank you for playing and leaving feedback. The signs give you an indication on we’re the attack is on the carrot so left or right on top, middle or bottem. You can get to all of them :).

When I click on site of the screen I am not able to get very long to the sites. I believe I can only get to two maybe three carrots.
LDJam user 268934
12. Jan 2023 · 20:58 UTC
@jk5000 there are 2 carrots , the signs on the left are there to see the left carrot has an attacker and the signs on the right are there for the right carrot :)
Then the red dots give you an indication where the attacker(bug) is .

Solid job! Art style was fun, unique mechanic and great sounds :D

I had missed the red dots for the top part alerts initially, so I thought there was another carrot on the side of the screen that was being attacked. The wincing carrot (which is a cute touch btw) helped me figure out that wasn't the case. Maybe larger red dots for the top part or centering the alert on the attacked carrot would be helpful? Honestly, might be reaching for a suggestion but it's the best I could think of. I really enjoyed this :D`

@xfinktion the allert also has a sound trigger so you know witch bug you can aspect. Hard to get that in 1 or 2 plays. Ty for the feedback and reaching!

Pretty fun to play, it controls way better than I would expect. Not sure what to think about the moaning carrots though

Was a little confused about the rats eating me, but I figured it out and beat the game after losing. Overall it was pretty delightful, the sound effects were probably my favorite. I noticed each carrot had their own voice as well, that was cool. Muuuusic was not long enough though.

Compelling core game mechanic! It's very satisfying to launch Bob out of the ground and chomp on some flies as you fly across the sky. The art was enjoyable and the sound effects were good. My main feedback is that the UI was a little cluttered at first glance since there's a lot of bars and meters going on, but overall a fun entry!

That's a hard game. I did not make it. A raven it was the last time ...
Great game!!!
Cool graphics, cool speech-sfx.
Very funny.
Very nice/ fluid controls.
I would have liked the camera a little bit zoomed out.
Too difficult (first level?).
Congratulations for the big, fun game!

It was fun! Jumping out of the ground felt good, reminded me of certain old Flash games that I haven't thought about in a long, long time. Agree with others about the cluttered UI and being zoomed in a bit too much, but it wasn't anything I couldn't get over. I also liked the mole and bird mechanics, having to be careful about how much time you spend doing what. Well done!

Fun game with great graphics and funny sound effects. The difficulty felt very balanced, there was always something to do which kept me on my toes but it never became overwhelming. After one round of figuring everything out I was able to beat it the second time around. I made it, because I'm awesome. The "hurt" face of the carrots was especially cute to me for some reason. Great job, one of the better compo games I've played this jam!
