⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⊱ 🍓🦔🍃 Welcome to Critter Cannon! 🍃🦔🍓 ⊰⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄

Ready to unleash your inner Sweet Shooter? Join our adorable animal army on a mission to gather the juiciest strawberries ever! 🎯✨

Load up your magical cannon with cute critters 🦊🐿️, aim for strawberry paradise, and watch as your fluffy friends soar through the sky in a berrylicious frenzy. Whether you're launching Armadillos, Moles, or tiny pillbugs, each shot brings you closer to strawberry stardom! 🚀🍓

How to Play



#### Load Your Cannon
Choose from a variety of lovable critters like :bug: pillbugs, :frog: frogs, or armadillos 🦔. Each critter has a unique ability some dig, while others are smaller and fit into smaller passages, giving you different strategies to master.

#### Aim & Launch
Use simple controls to aim your cannon. Adjust the angle and power by dragging the cannon with your mouse. Hold Space bar to load your guns with as many critters as you need. The goal? Launch your critter toward the strawberry fields ahead, collecting as many berries as possible on the way!

#### Score & Progress
Rack up points by minimizing the number of shots and critters used. As you hit berry-filled milestones, you'll unlock new critters and exciting levels to keep the adventure going!

Controls

* Click and Drag the cannon to adjust the angle and power.
* W/A/S/D to move the camera
* Hold Spacebar to load more critters into the cannon — the longer you hold, the more critters you'll add.
* ESC to pause the game.

Nice job with the mechanics! A restart level feature would be nice :)
MrMaico7 Oct 2024, 23:25
@george-k we have a restart function when hitting the ESC key. You should be able to restart any level. Appreciate the feedback

Loved the voice acting and the general mechanics. I felt the camera movement was a bit wonky at times, since it didn't feel smooth or very responsive. Apart from that, it's a fun concept and I really enjoyed trying your game out! :)

This game broke my browser haha. Lots of lagging and it froze entirely when i tried to fire the cannon. I'll try again on a more powerful machine!

The art is really cute and the voice acting is top-notch! Maybe the critters could despawn after sometime? The trampoline kept getting covered in critters and I had to restart a few times. Really cute concept!

I can't really explain why, but it feels like the whole game is AI generated

I love it when people voice their games on ld. Good job

I felt bad for the amount of time I missed with these sweet loads of armadillos.:D
Great idea and I loved the gameplay!
Kluvenlaroplan8 Oct 2024, 18:28
THESE HEEEDGEHOOGS ARE ADORABLE!!!!!!!!! - such cute art, great job!
Mashas8 Oct 2024, 18:33
What a mood and funny voices! Great work team!
Maria Sh8 Oct 2024, 18:34
voice over is dope!
btw it was hard to cope with mechanics and understand what exactly I need to do
MrMaico8 Oct 2024, 18:36
We really appreciate all of your comments. We keep sharing them in our discord whenever a new comment comes in. We are very sorry for everyone that is experiencing the crash. It seems to be the first shot in every level that causes the issue. It's not happening in our debug godot build. We are investigating it and we hope we can fix it soon. Hope everyone had an amazing Jam!!
Shlolo8 Oct 2024, 18:40
I'm very sorry if I'm getting this wrong, and you guys actually made all those assets yourself, but to me this game gives off a strong vibe of being largely genereated with AI. Obviously it's not against the rules or anything, I just think it is a bit disingenuous to sell AI generated content as your own, since it is essentially stealing from real artists. Again, I'm really sorry if my assumption is wrong.

Other than all that, I think the game is actually quite fun gameplay-whise, so good job on that :)

This was a cool idea! I would have liked a way to clear extra animals when the trampoline got buried. Overall, great job!

Very funny game. Loved the voice lines!

Good tutorial with voice-over. Nice art and game idea.

Really funny game, so far, one of my favorite entries. It's most certainly a game about tiny creatures.
MrMaico9 Oct 2024, 13:42
@korzhik I love it! Thanks for sharing this screenshot. That's what we wanted to see!

@wyvex thank you for your kind words. It means a lot.

Fun little game. I loved the voice over and the sfx. I faced a couple of freezes when playing from ldjam website.
Joshua_Reumann10 Oct 2024, 09:28
Really funny audio :D Was laughing alot playing it. Great job ;)
tremisabdoul10 Oct 2024, 09:40
Sorry to comment this but i agree with @shlolo i'm a composer and i know that the music is AI generated and the main menu bg looks like an pixelized AI generated art for the reasons that shlolo explained i feel bad abt it. D:

Sadly i couldn't play the game bc of a crash when i did try to shoot an animal but the tutorial voice was funny !

Don't hesitate to ping me if u fix the error so i would try the game !

This games neat! I love the voice acting, it's very fun! I did notice a little freeze when I shot for the first time but after that it was ok.

Nice work!

Nice game =D And difficult tbh. Love the voices, they're very funny
asfdfdfd11 Oct 2024, 15:26
That voiceover hahahaha. Damn animals!

i am absolutely loving the voice over on the tutorial. nice effort, thank you

Great fun, perfectly silly concept. Aiming with a mouse (admittedly, I was using a trackpad) was sometimes a bit clunky, but it didn't hurt that much

This was fun - unfortunately got stuck when I had a pile of creatures blocking the trampolines and was also freezing my browser occassionally. I do agree with above and think some of the assets look AI generated, which is less ideal, but gameplay is fine.

This was wonderful!!

I kind of lost track of time after starting with this game, and I enjoyed every bit of it! The fabulous voice acting had me laughing, and the art is well done and just enjoyable to look at while you toss around critters being uncertain if you're the good or bad guy.

Thank you so much for this game, awesome job to the whole team :heart:
