Treevenge by Kr4sh3

[raw]
made by Kr4sh3 for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

9dd5f9c56cb6320ce323c34917ea2ff5.png You are camping out in the woods, when suddenly the trees come alive! The trees are angry about your campfire, and you must defend it with all your might! (and a leaf blower of course). Fuel your fire with logs from your enemies. Tip: Try attacking enemies from behind so your logs aren't launched off screen! There are 20 waves, can you beat them all?

Controls:

Left Click - Attack (Hold for charge attack)

Right Click - Suck in nearby logs, which then can be launched for more damage

WASD - Movement 5e280d6557e0029266a2a3c3455261ad.jpg

I originally had an idea like this, but I wasn't sure how to make it fun. Well done, though it may start off a little bit too hard (but idk I could just suck at games)

Loved the art and the game play ideas, like how everything can hurt you and you can make a decision to either push the enemy away or fuel the fire!

I really enjoyed the sounds. Gameplay is great having to balance both elements of keeping it alive.

Simple and well executed idea. I think the idea can be better worked with a different map format, without the fire in the center of the map.

Wow. This is VERY hard for me. As a terrible gamer with bad eyes, a bad back, a bum knee, a hole in my tooth, and mild brain rot, I need an easy mode.

There's a really interesting concept here; I was initially a bit confused about why there were hearts as sometimes I would die with full health. I think you could have done away with the hearts and used the fireplace as the sole thing you need to protect (especially as the trees were gunning for that and not you personally). Also, perhaps not making the fire damage the player would've been a bit more user-friendly too. I often just lost a bit of health moving around and it felt like an inconvenience to have the thing I'm nurturing harm me.

I really liked the idea of the trees dropping the fuel for the fire and being able to use them to fuel the fire or deal extra damage, which adds a thin layer of strategy.

While the aniamtion is minimal, the artowrk itself is appealing. I like the title screen particularly.

I hope this feedback was somewhat useful - maybe I just suck at the game!

Congratulations on your entry!

Great concept! The controls were tough to get used to and the initial difficult seemed high, but I still enjoyed it. Great art design as well.

Really nice looking game with a simple yet challenging premise. At times I thought the game was really tough as I struggled to get passed wave 3. I felt that taking damage was something that could be worked on or reworked, the only obvious indicator that you have taken damage is the audio queue which I sometimes overlook due to the hectic nature of the game. It would be nice if there was some visual queues too such as a change in sprite or knockback.
