Power Spud Harvest

Fun Dig Dug and the audio cracked me up :)

I liked that I only moved slightly faster than the little bugs, and that my bullets didn't go through the ground, so I had to embark on some super daring potato rescue missions. I also died a lot, lol. Great work! I like the music, too - what did you use to compose it?

Fun - love the retro digdug style. It's got retro music, retro art, everything - cool. I like that the AIs seem to actually do something other than just come after me constantly. That makes the game a lot better.

Took me a second to realize I had to shoot enemies 3 times before they died. Maybe a health bar on their head or something would help.

I really liked that the art changed between levels, I wasn't expecting multiple environments within the context of a jam!

Thanks, I had bigger plans but had to scale back. I used https://www.beepbox.co/ for the audio, I didn't know how to use it before starting and had a lot of fun making the tunes. I was hoping to make a background image, but ended up just using a gradient and then modulating the color for the different levels.

I had fun playing this, even though I was lagging (idk why, probably just my computer). It was very fun to fight the bugs, and made a strategy where you shoot, go back, and then shoot over and over. I wasn't very good at this though, and died pretty quickly. I do reckon if you gave the ground beneath the grass a bit more of a dirt texture (still can change color though, thought that was cool) it might help a bit, but that might just be me.

Fun little game! Gets difficult quite quickly. Wish the gun had more range so we could use some tunnel tactics when taking down the beasties lol

Cool little game! I thought it was funny how the music stopped whenever the player did.

I like it. Sound and music are pretty cool and the potatoes look really good. I wish the bugs were a little easier to kill. It feels a little unfair that they can one-hit me.

Fun little game, i like that u can't shoot throu passages you didn't "dug up" before.
But, like other said - feels unfair that i get oneshot by those bugs that take waaay too many hits from the space gun i got :p

Also the level is pretty repetitive, did u ran out of time to implement more varriaty or were this planed?

This game was really well made and I didn't experience any bugs. I think that you definitely achieved the theme well and I enjoyed the arcade feel of the game.
I think a couple of things could have made it feel a bit better:
1. I don't think the bullets should have a maximum range. Instead they should just be destroyed when they hit a wall. That way you are rewarded more for clearing space.
2. I think the players hit box felt a bit big. I sometimes felt like I died when an enemy wasn't quite touching me and I think it's always better to give the player a slightly generous hitbox so that they never feel like a death is unfair.

Overall I think you did a great job and you achieved a lot for the time given. I also think you got the difficulty level just right which is really hard to do.

Cool little game, i like the retro arcade feel, controls, art and audio really fit together. As others have said, maybe the enemies are a bit too strong. The gun is not of much use, it's easier to just avoid the bugs. Anyway, nice entry!

Nice art!

reminds me of digdug! fun little game, although the enemy movements seem a little haphazard. There wasn't really much point to the digging part, except for giving your bullets room to go, so it didn't feel like there was much impact to digging.

Otherwise fun little game, thanks!

As others have mentioned, it wasn't clear that the beetles take multiple hits to kill. Otherwise, nice sprite animations and a fun entry!

Those are some bigg ass beetles

Neat little game. My high score: 29000. I rarely survived the faster beetles, and often killed one of them at the same time they killed me, not sure if that felt like a bug, or a glorious death ^\_^. I would have liked it if the bullets collision was a little smaller, seemed to often get stuck on a little bit of dirt (or, destroy the dirt with the bullets ^\_^).

Good job, the pixel art is nice and so is the music. It's a fun game to play, I like the terrain destroying. The bullets should be a lot faster and maybe kill in one hit, also it would be good to know which direction the gun is pointing, maybe by using a top down sprite, instead of a side on one. The beetle ai is well done!

Nice little game with smooth animations and an engaging soundtrack. The bugs take a few too many hits to kill so i just found myself trying to avoid them and get to the spuds in time because it felt like by the time i killed one the others wuld have eaten all the remaining potatoes. Nevertheless,quite pleasant to play. Well done!
