this is very cute. it's basic but something about sucking up the lil poops is v satisfying and fun. I enjoy it a lot
could definitely do with another mechanic or 2 to make it a bit deeper but overall very nice. well done!

Of course, in it's current state it would start to get repetitive quite quick. The poopers could for example be a bit more aggressive so you couldn't so easily just go around and harvest. The options are endless of course time management and scoping is always an issue. At least you made something fully working and finished.
Of course there is the mini game of "kick the poop" 😅
Played through a second time too and I think it's the enemy pooping sound that is really grating sounding on the second level when they start stacking up. That and the sucking sound were a bit rough (especially with no variation). I'm pretty sure jsfxr can do a lot more pleasant sounding sounds too.
The hold RMB shoot acceleration felt a bit pointless as it started off so damn slow that you could achieve more by just mashing.
Really liked the pixel art. Going very low rez like this isn't as easy as one might think. Especially with nice animations. Just two frames of animation for both walk and idle but the bag bounce really sells it.
What a weird looking mouse, the cord usually goes to the other end... 😂

Anyways, good job! 👍
I loved it. At first the dropping speed being slow made me think ooooh no it will take ages to deliver those 50 poop, but then the speed pick up felt super satisfying.
Thank you for your entry!
- Cut content: You could suck the poopers and carry them around, and they'd only poop on grass. But there is no level to do that, and inventory got buggy so I cut that :(
For next jam, I'll try making better sfx this time I wanted to focus on simple animations :smile:
For the mouse, I knew something was off but I couldn't find what. AND THE CORD IS AT THE BACK? :smile: Thanks for pointing out :smile: PS: Next time I'll use ref.
Thanks you for all the nice comments :blush:
