Farm Fury is a fun little action game where you grow your ammunition! Make sure to read the instructions! Either kill enemies and take their loot, or ship the crops by firing them at the shipping container!
It's been noted that the game is pretty difficult. In future releases, I'll work on enemy scaling. It's worth hanging on, though! The fruits you unlock as time goes on are pretty fun to use!
Press Q to go through your different fruits you've harvested, and E to change the seeds you plant!
Ildfuglen, can you elaborate on what was frustrating about the control scheme? Which part of the game's controls were challenging? I'm sorry if the execution didn't live up to the idea, but thank you for trying it!
Welp, shouldn't have spammed all my ammo into the box right before all the enemies spawn D: nice resource management game. great balance between extra points and ammo :D
Jagang, you nailed what I wass looking for :) zo0MER, part of that is my fault. After going to my friends for a bit of playtesting, I think I made the enemies a little too strong. The skeleton, for one, moves a little too fast.
Nice game mechanics, it was really fun to come up with different tactics of which seeds to plant and when to use the ammo to get more stuff from the chest!
Pretty nice plant/grow/kill/repeat gameplay cycle... Enemies moved smartly most of the time. Was there a difference between the different fruit? I used carrots twice and didn't notice any difference so I stuck with strawberries afterwards until I died xD
Shivur, Thank you for the feedback! @esayitch, It does have different effects for different food. Carrots pierce through enemies, and cherries explode like bombs!
Very fun and addictive game. Played several rounds and planting new ammo and using it is hectic in an entertaining way. Regarding balancing, the strawberries are far too powerful as they grow too fast respectively make enough damage against heavier enemies. Or the higher fruits just grow too long ;D Very good job!
Oh snap this was fantastic! The controls were hard to figure out at first, but once I did it got real fun, nice mix of action and management game play. Don't know if I've run into that combo before, well done!
I was too busy trying to defend myself to really care about what fruit I was planting or what they each did. It was only after I gained immortality some how that I slowed down to look at the game.
One thought - when you throw a fruit and you're close enough that it hits instantly, there's no indication that it got thrown at all. Some more feedback there would be nice.
It was definitely a bit hard, but I did improve from one try to the next. It was fun but could have been more so.
Using both the mouse to plant/attack and WASD to move plus more Q/E to rotate options, felt like a bit too much. This game would probably be much better with a tutorial, learning the basic planting mechanic first before there's any threat, etc. But I do think you should try some different control schemes and see if another one is easier to use. For a post-compo version a tutorial would be much better than text instructions. Also, the text was a bit hard to read, due to font/color. At first it wasn't clear why some crops were marked with an X, I actually thought you were supposed to plant on them because of that. I couldn't figure out if it was better to attack monsters with my fruit or just throw it at the chest. Both options gave me money (which I don't think there was a way to use - was there?), so really the point in shipping the crops was unclear. I like the idea that crops would have a multiple use, so maybe if monsters didn't drop gold it would help the decision feel more strategic. Would be nice if there was a way to replenish life (even if it's rare). Music was nice, the tempo fit the pace of the game, and the art was cute.
Great job! This game was a lot of fun. I'd love to see a version of this that is a relaxing game as I really liked the mechanic and wanted to grow more fruit and vegetables!
Nice game. I like the idea that you have to grow your ammo.
There is one annoying thing - movement controls. I expect the character to change direction when I press one key while still holding another one. It works when you move left or right and decide to go up or down, but the opposite does not work. And holding left and right or up and down together stops the character - I would love to use this to fast direction change to the direction connected with last pressed key.
Here is a nice little game! Good idea to grow plants although I prefer the strawberry. The music is good ! Good job!

The hitboxes felt a little large so I felt like I was taking damage I shouldn't have and the fruit/seed controls were pretty hard to use mostly due to how hectic it gets later on. It is a fun game though and a bit addictive. I didn't seem to notice much difference in the fruit though, the strawberries grow in large patches and are fast, and carrots shoot through enemies but oranges just seem to be harder hitting, slower growing strawberries. I did unlock the grapes but died before using them, hopefully they were a AoE thing. I'll give this a few plays later to see if I can unlock more fruit.
I love this concept. The controls are very stiff, which is a frustrating source of difficulty. I would love to see this idea developed further and polished.

Despite that that a good game, well done. :)
