| Jan 15 19:07:34 | Harvest Festival 64 | ♥ 1 | I love messed-up versions of Animal Crossing, so this is right up my alley! I greatly enjoyed all of the :3s, although I do feel that the game could have been improved with some OwOs. | |
| Jan 15 19:23:31 | 15m 57s | HarvesTurnip | ♥ 1 | Turn up for what! This game is super addictive. I could play it all day if I wanted to. Great job! |
| Jan 15 19:40:00 | 16m 29s | Click On Fish | ♥ 1 | I clicked on the fish! 🐟 This was a concept that sounded simple and easy when at first, but quickly got out of hand as more fish were introduced, which I loved. I also loved the surreal, unsettling designs for each fish; very creative! |
| Jan 15 19:54:06 | 14m 06s | Oasis of Souls | ♥ 1 | This was a nice experience! A very chill walk through a nice desert environment, with the occasional soul showing up to help you through. Good job! |
| Jan 15 20:27:54 | 33m 48s | Doki Doki Ninjin | ♥ 2 | Fantastic entry! This was a great, unique spin on the Mario 2 formula. I'm amazed at how much content you were able to pack into this, and it turned out wonderfully! |
| Jan 15 20:49:33 | 21m 39s | Buzzy Business | ♥ 1 | This is so fun! I've always wanted to be a mosquito, and this game does a great job of letting me achieve that dream! Super addictive and just the right amount of tricky! Great job! 🐸 |
| Jan 15 21:04:23 | 14m 50s | Honey Inc. | ♥ 1 | My whole life, I've had 2 dreams: to be a bee and tell others what to do. I never thought I'd see a game that lets me achieve both, but here we are! This is a fun little experience with fantastic art and animations. I do wish that there were multiple minigames for each of the worker bees, but given the timeframe I think that what's here works well! |
| Jan 15 21:52:05 | 47m 42s | Billiard Hero | ♥ 1 | I've always wanted to be a billiard ball in a magical girl's basement! This game looks and plays fantastically! It's quite challenging, but I managed to make my way through! Now, I never wanna see a billiard table ever again. 🎱 💀 |
| Jan 15 22:44:30 | 52m 25s | Hivesters | ♥ 2 | I've always wanted to command a swarm of bugs to devour wheat and destroy weaponry! This is a cool and unique twist on traditional tower-defense gameplay that I got a lot of enjoyment out of! I just wish we could've seen the aftermath of the swarm's feast 😄 |
| Jan 15 23:30:05 | 45m 35s | Super Plantoid | ♥ 3 | I've always wanted to go to space and harvest crops to unlock new areas! This is a well-designed, well-drawn, and well-scored game. I had a lot of fun with it! I even got 100% completion! That's not relevant to the feedback; I'm just including it for bragging rights. 😄 🥔 |
| Jan 19 01:45:33 | 74h 15m | Fallowtide | ♥ 1 | I've always wanted to be a farmer who also sacrifices my loyal followers! This was a fun, chill (in contrast to the tone), and very polished entry! I loved the risk & reward that came from positioning crops while also making sure there would be enough space for future rounds. I also found it really cool that the game had as much challenge as it did despite not having a lose condition. I do wish some of the mechanics were a bit more fleshed out, such as getting more mulch for composting more valuable cards. I also really wish there was at least dialogue letting us know how everything ended. |
| Jan 19 02:19:13 | 33m 40s | Cropsweeper | ♥ 1 | Cool twist on a classic game! It was a bit clunky and stressful at first, especially immediately being thrown in with a time limit, but once I understood everything I got into a really good groove! I still do think that it was a bit awkward having to press shift along with clicking to plant when that's the only action you can perform on an empty tile anyway, but it wasn't that big of a deal; just a minor nitpick. 😄 |
| Jan 19 02:46:50 | 27m 37s | Hotline Harvest | ♥ 0 | I've always wanted to harvest wheat with guns! This is an interesting mashup of top-down shooter and simple farming simulator. I would not think to combine those 2 genres, but it works! I had a blast blasting my enemies and crops! I do feel that the game could've been balanced better: the most expensive weapon was not the most useful, and if I wanted to I could have easily farmed (haha harvest joke) enough money to buy the win ticket with just the pistol. |
| Jan 19 03:07:50 | 21m 00s | Carrot Season | ♥ 1 | I've always wanted to stab sentient carrots! This is a nice, functional resource strategy game that definitely could use some polish (although you usually can't worry about that for a game jam haha). I don't really vibe with the storage mechanic though; it works, but it doesn't really have a purpose beyond serving as a win button when you reach 5000 carrots (I sadly did not). I really enjoyed the character art and the overall theming of the game, though I do wish the pixel sizing was consistent to make it all look nice and crisp. There were also a few typos and vague labels here and there that could be corrected. 😄 🥕 |
| Jan 19 04:04:10 | 56m 20s | The Shameful Harvest | ♥ 1 | This is a neat little platformer! Movement felt nice to me, and the graphics were quite impressive! I love games that "draw" the world as you explore it. However, this effect was also the game's downfall for me; I could not make it past the second bullet room because I had no way of seeing the bullets from afar. The traps definitely should not start shooting until after the player enters the room. It's unfortunate; I was really enjoying everything up to this point, but I just couldn't persevere. 😓 |
| Jan 22 02:35:45 | 70h 31m | They Hide in the Fields | ♥ 2 | I had forgotten about the nightmare I had last week where I was a mother living next to a cornfield trying to find my son before he was abducted by aliens, but this game did such a good job of recreating it that I don't think I'm ever going to sleep again. |
