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.

Loved this. Great idea and throwback to those old handhelds.

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.

ahahahaha, popstation game!, great job on capturing the graphics, sound and mood of those game dude :D
really bring me back to good old 90s :D
lurilsauthor15 Dec 2015, 04:32
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...

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

Perfectly imitated the gamenwatch feel.

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.

That retro feeling is just perfect.

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
lurilsauthor15 Dec 2015, 19:57
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-

Game and Watch! I used to play these as a kid. Good job emulating one!

pure nostalgia to the old super-market handhelds, good job =D

Nice looking game fun to play

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.
lurilsauthor16 Dec 2015, 18:47
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...
ObsessiveNerd17 Dec 2015, 03:07
Yeah, everyone saying you nailed the look and feel of old Game and Watch are 100% correct. Super cool.

Very nice, I like how you keep the faded back sprites. Well executed!

It really looks, sounds and feels like those old game handhelds. The graphics are cute. I like it very much!

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

Game&watch, cool idea. Fits the theme very well, nice retroexperience

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!

Nice entry! It reminds me fo my childhood! Right in the feels, good job! ;)
nassi27 Dec 2015, 13:27
It feels like a Game & Watch game through and through. In both the positive and the negative connotations.
NoWandStudios31 Dec 2015, 11:58
Right in the childhood :o. You've done very nice work.
oparisy2 Jan 2016, 13:49
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 :)
adsilcott2 Jan 2016, 17:34
Beautiful game that makes me feel nostalgic. Great use of the theme too. A little easy, but otherwise excellent.

Super nice. Fun and beautiful artwork.
