That's tough. I got 16 pies. I do like the audio, but the aiming is really hard. I'm sure if I stuck with it I could get more though. Also it doesn't run on the itch.io launcher. It downloads and everything, but for some reason there is an error.
Nice score! There's definitely an intentional skill curve here, but it's also true that the aiming may not be as precise as I intended. As for the itch launcher issue, i'm not too familiar with it, so I can only assume it's because there's no dedicated desktop build, but thanks for all the feedback :)
I think the itch launcher is a newer thing. It's supposed to work with most games that play as web based applications, I think, but some games just do not work with it. Maybe I'm an early adopter, lol.
This has really nice audio feedback. The music does a good job of making the mood relaxed, too.
If you're planning to continue work on this project, I would only suggest to add some more light to the scene; it's a bit dark at the moment.
Nice work! By the way, I got 42 :D
Woah, nice!, highest score so far. Also, thanks for the feedback and i'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
This is quite nice and relaxing. I got 39. The background music is very low key, which is great. My one recommendation is to tune down the hit sound just a tad, the one that sounds like chimes. Seems to be louder than the rest. Didn't have any issue with hitting the pumpkins or the axe spawning to quickly when trying to spam them.
Sweet score! :D Thanks for the feedback and the tip on the sound. I'm also glad you didn't experience any issues with those bugs from before.
Nice game! Very fun to play.
There are some bugs like if you keep clicking, axes keep spawning as well as occasionally, the main axe sort of gets stuck for a few seconds. Also, sometimes it feels like the axe doesn't hit the pumpkin even though it intersects with it.
I'm guessing you're already aware of these and just haven't fixed them yet. Looking forward to play the completed game.
My highscore was 22.
Thanks! Glad you liked it. And yes, now that i'm aware of them, i'm working on fixing them. Nice score btw. :)
Yo this is a cool game! like the 3-D theme and pumpkin patch vibe...
Thanks! :D
I found a bug, when you spam the axes the eventually clog up meaning when you throw an axe, it will hit the other axes and not go anywhere. Good game though. I got 6
Thanks for the feedback, I didn't even know this bug existed till you mentioned it, glad you enjoyed it despite that though. :)
Nice! I got 36.
Wooah, nice! :D
There are a lot of times the axe will hit a pumpkin but it won't count. I can tell it hits because the axe stops spinning and it jumps upwards a bit when it collides. Is there some sort of mechanic that the blade of the axe needs to hit the pumpkin or something or is this a glitch?
That's definitely a glitch, it's a mistake I made with the pumpkin's collider, hopefully not too hard to fix. :)
