Your health is currency in this game. With it, you purchase seeds that will grow into more health. Some bugs will try to break the plants, but you must protect them by shooting projectiles. Reach a hundred health and you win ! Good luck !! Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-wqsIQ5YMw screenshot_20190428_120910.png
If you download it, it might look like a virus. I’m really sorry, in that case, please try it out online. If you really want to download it, there is no risk.
A really fun little game. I love the sound-effects and I wish you would have made the music in a similar way. The gameplay is fun but it could me more challenging. All in all a sloid entry!
Sweet little game, cute carrot, looked like an undertale character to me :D I gotta say I was not compleeetely sure about the harvest life thing I just keep shooting enemies for 1 minute until I was dead, but it was decent and challenging, also good balance of enemies and the controls feel natural :) Well done!
Haha. That was much more fun than I thought it would be at first glance. It's a little small, but otherwise super cool. Loved how the carrot also shoots carrots :D
I enjoyed this game! Simple concept that ties into the theme and was executed well. Nice colorful graphics (the player is hilarious haha looks like he's living his best life) and the sound effects were funny as well. It's definitely tough but I don't think that's a bad thing. Good job!
The game mechanic is simple, works well and fits the theme quite clearly. I really felt compelled to defend my seeds, but difficulty is a bit punishing at the moment (green bugs essentially ruin all my crops :sob:)
Graphics could use some work to make the game screen a bit more readable, especially near the buttons.
I also found a weird bug that broke keyboard controls if I right clicked on the game. Not even restarting worked, I had to reload the page.
Despite these two things you've got quite a solid entry, congrats!
@ithildin Thank you for the comment. There is a bug with the flash version. The screen is smaller and the keyboard is glitching. For a better experience you could try to download the game. Thanks again for the support !
Simple but works well. I didn't understand how to play based on the description, but after I watched the trailer I took another shot at it and got the gameplay loop down. The highlight for me was the music and the carrot bouncing to the beat.
There are a couple things that you could do to polish it up. The text is very hard to read against the busy grass background, so even doing something simple like giving it a black outline would go far. Also, there was more than once that I was shooting at a bug and accidentally purchased a weapon upgrade that killed me. The first time I felt like I should have known better, but the second time it happened it was frustrating.
Maybe take away the need for the player to press or hold the button to shoot? You could easily have the carrot autofire at the cursor constantly and then the player would click only when they mean to purchase something.
Also, the flash screen is a little small. The play area itself is fine, but if you scaled it up to twice the size it would work well.
This was really fun, I liked the music and the thumping sound effects. The upgraded shooting was satisfying to use. The dark text was a bit hard to read. Nice game :)
dumn this is frustraiting to get to 100 i was about to quit at 50 but saw u said 100 you win... haha nice game really fun, but its gets to long to get to 100
Pretty alright game, it's fun but gets repetitive quickly. If it was a bit more varied I think it'd be much more addictive, I already think the weapon upgrade feels really sweet, it's what kept me playing.
Interesting concept! Really enjoyable, the graphics do the job for a game jam and the music fits very well. I found the HUD a litte bit messy in my opinion but nice job overall :)
After a certain amount of time has passed a green bug flows from the top of the screen and insta kills me eventhough he doesn't hit me. The sound is nice and the concept of sacrifing health for more health in the future is certainly interesting.
I think there needs to be a little more space to move around. Also, the objective of the game was not immediately clear. So perhaps include a tutorial or even a help screen so that players can jump right in. I felt that the music didn't fit very well either.. Given that you play as a carrot fighting off armies of bugs I would expect something significantly more upbeat and frantic to reflect the gameplay. Some of the SFX sound great, the only one that was a little grating was when hit by the enemy. It's far too overpowering.
I love the carrot character! And how he's trying to bounce to the music. Whoever made the music should give you the tempo so he can line up exactly :) But generally the character and enemies are very cute. Nice work :)
Very good ! The carrot is so funny with its mouth. The concept is good and the theme is very well used I love all the designs, especially the flies, and the carrot, well, all actually ! The music fits the theme very well and the sounds too. The level of difficulty is absolutely perfect : at first is simple, but near the is I was litteraly jumping full of adrenaline and I finally managed to beat it, the waves of yellow flies are very fast a you need to shoot at the right place at the right moment to not get your carrots eaten, the swarm of blue flies are also very hard to shoot at, you need to be precise but fast to kill them all. also, when all your carrots are eaten, all is not lost, which is very good and absolutely not frustrating. The little bonus life obtained from killing the green fly is very welcome and puts the level of difficulty at a perfection level, as I stated before. This is one the best game I've seen in the jam so far, congratulations !
Edit : I just saw that it was a compo, this is impressing, wow !
Funny game. And hard! Specially at the beginning, when your health is low and any hit of the yellow bug kills you. Unlocking harder enemies as your health increases would make the difficulty greater on later stages.
Amazing graphics!! I love the artstyle and the feeling of the game. Felt really polished! The squish sounds were quite funny :D Also... I think this is the ONLY flash entry I saw so far. Just installing flash for it brought back a lot of nice memories. Thanks!
