Thrown Harvest (for LD52) by matimat
Game for LD52, it's my first game for Ludum Dare :sunglasses:
The object of the game is to throw the plants you harvest into the colored baskets. As soon as each basket contains 5 plants you win the game.
You start with a few mature plants. Be careful, the plants disappear if you don't harvest them quickly. Birds come to eat plants contained in the baskets from time to time
Game keys : - Arrows to move the player (square with a white number) - Space to throw, hold the space key to set strength - TAB key to choose which plant to throw

Do the fish not do anything?
I played until I won. I hate that stupid bird.
Also, sometimes the baskets would be pretty synched, so that one basket was blocking the one I needed for a long time. There should be a bit more variation in their speed so they don't synch as much.
It took a while, but I won! This is a pretty cool small game, it took me a while to realize that you could hold multiple balls at once. So, I was only doing 1 ball at a time for the majority of my run. After I realized that fact, the gameplay sped up a bit. The bird constantly coming in and removing my progress was kind of annoying though. This seems like the type of game where the goal would be to accomplish the objective as fast as possible, or as stylish as possible, so a timer or something similar would be nice. This would fit well as a small arcade game. Overall, good job!
Once rocking, the game is pretty intuitive.
It's a bit hard to figure out what to do at the begining and I think we could use a progress bar for the shoot. Otherwise really good game !
@justin-c @pincushion @the3rdhunter @herryfabien : I noticed several questions about fish. In fact I didn't finish the game, the fish had to jump from time to time and eat the projectiles. Otherwise if a projectile fell into the water the fish had to eat it by swimming towards it.
@justin-c @starboihooch @tanis : For baskets, it should have a more random behavior but I forgot to add this little line of code ;-)
@scolondev @alex-de-la-cour @justin-c : Thank you for your perseverance and your interest in my game
nice game, you can play at your own pace focusing on one color or stocking up on all remaining colors and getting back to throwing as fast as possible.
it just took me a second to realize that you had to stand on the throw zone for the spacebar to work
How did you put a video on top of the title of the game (Ludum Dare page)? teach me!
