Jan 9 21:08:14 Harveeps ♥ 5 Absolutely great little game! The UI and graphics are absurdly polished for such a brief jam, and the gameplay is both interesting and new. Like your description says, it's not quite tetris, it's not quite sudoku, but it certainly evokes both games in the best ways! I liked the innately interesting decisions it puts on the players--do you chase points or try to clear field segments to banish angry farmers? This is my first game I've played since the rating period opened, and what a high note to start with. Excellent work across the board!
Jan 9 21:20:15 12m 01s Expand ♥ 2 An interesting little optimization game! The early portions did leave me wishing there were easier ways to quickly navigate around and do what I wanted to do, but I also liked the rapidly expanding scope
Jan 9 22:21:46 1h 01m Agricultural Ascension ♥ 3 An excellent puzzler! I do love the look, the sound, and the overall impression it all adds together to make. The gameplay itself reminds me a bit of a rubik's cube... brain-teasy in just the right ways. Nicely done!
Jan 9 23:26:06 1h 04m Subnautilus ♥ 3 for some reason it won't let me input my name on the first screen--what might I be doing wrong?
Jan 9 23:30:15 4m 09s BEE A GOOD BEE: And Fetch Me Some Pollen ♥ 3 Excellent work for a first foray into Unity! The flight controls feel smooth and polished, and there's something satisfying about the way that the little pollen bits fly into your character. I do wish that the camera didn't leave our little bee sprite so close to the north bound of the screen when he's flying upwards... a nice little run of 128 ended to a surprise flower :(
Jan 9 23:34:30 4m 15s Glorb Garden ♥ 2 The speed the character moves at makes it a bit tricky to do exactly what I wanted to do, but I love the idea of planting your weapons and harvesting them on a delay to survive. Graphics are clean and the overall feel is very polished. Well done!
Jan 9 23:45:21 10m 51s Inter-dimensional Asteroid Harvester ♥ 1 A nice little Asteroid game! Cohesive feel and a good amount of visual polish; would blend perfectly in a modern arcade cabinet.
Jan 9 23:52:54 7m 33s Collector of _ ♥ 3 A fun game! I do think the game could benefit from clearer explanation to how the push and pull mechanics work... when I hit the first large jump that required using the flame, I had already pressed shift once, so my right clicks were not clearing the gap, and I thought I was somehow stuck. I also think it would benefit from some sort of line indicating which flame the player's right click would interact with. Beyond those minor quality-of-life requests, the gameplay was fun and original. Nicely done!
Jan 9 23:57:51 4m 57s Slim Reaper ♥ 1 Unfortunately, as another commenter mentioned, the tractor goes invisible while driving, which makes it difficult to play. The purchasing is also glitched out, as it let me buy an item I didn't have the money for and I ended up with -$80 USD after
Jan 10 00:13:16 15m 25s Drake's Fortune ♥ 2 I love being a dragon sniper, nailing a tower of enemy archers from a mile away. Fun game that seems to capture similar energy as Angry Birds, and might be a concept worth expanding into a fully-fledged game. Nicely done!
Jan 10 00:23:02 9m 46s WARVEST ♥ 1 A fun little game! I enjoyed the rising chaos aspect of letting one seed slip past uncollected, and then dealing with the consequences of that miss... then you try to chop down one of the plants, and suddenly your problem is substantially worse. Well-designed and fun game loop! This game will also help any players tell if they have the sticky keys windows command active... had a good run defeated by accessibility settings :(
Jan 10 00:30:49 7m 47s 🥕 Grow a Carrot! 🥕 ♥ 3 I know we've reached the future since now I can grow a carrot from the comfort of my phone. checkmate, world hunger
Jan 10 00:45:57 15m 08s (Test) ♥ 1 A nice little framework for a game to be built around... fun to imagine making a little farmstead on a meteor! The space constraints could make for interesting gameplay
Jan 10 00:54:33 8m 36s Dream Reaper ♥ 2 A fun little maze puzzler with good level design! I did find myself wishing I could move each gamestep a bit faster, as you'd figure out a level, but then just be mashing the 'wait' key for things to slowly slide into place. Regardless, a fun game!
Jan 10 01:00:15 5m 42s Harvest Doom ♥ 1 Wish there were a way to reduce mouse sensitivity, since I always play fps games with low sensitivity. Still, a fun and fast-paced little shooter! I'm not positive what the water gun's $100 upgrade does, since I don't think I ever managed to properly use it. I think I was at least able to grow more enemies? It'd be cool if you could grow yourself some new weapons and defensive options
Jan 10 04:37:56 3h 37m Fields of Fury ♥ 2 For the player who has ever wondered what would happen if you took the classic "Doom" formula and applied it to the much-newer "Grounded". Charming little game; nails the old-school vibes perfectly!
Jan 10 04:49:30 11m 34s Cookie Typer! ♥ 1 I do think that typing words rather than clicking a button makes for a slightly more fun game loop... would love to see this developed into a larger project! I also think that the wpm counter at the top makes a fun "number go up" motivator to try typing faster, but, for the wpm statistic to be meaningful, you might want to show the word that will be next after the current word (or at least sell that as a purchasable upgrade). For fast typists, you want to know what comes next so you can start the next word as you're pressing space
Jan 10 23:15:08 18h 25m Brainma ♥ 1 A fun little strategy battler! Somehow, my game seems to have gotten stuck when I used the duplicate ability for the slime blob... it entered an animation where a second copy was walking, but he was clipped inside the first, and the entire game seemed to lock up. Still, a nicely realized concept!
Jan 10 23:25:28 10m 20s H.A.R. VEST ♥ 2 A fun platformer! As others have said, the controls feel fast and snappy and responsive. I also agree with the sentiments that the game is currently quite difficult based on the required input speed, and a UI showing off the abilities would be very helpful--I reached for the wrong button far too often, meaning to teleport only to do a costly lightning blast. On a game where resources matter as much as they do here, mis-presses are quite the frustration!
Jan 10 23:34:34 9m 06s Fox Puppies Want Food For The Winter ♥ 1 A pleasant little base for a game! I loved the visuals and music; they contributed nicely to a cozy vibe. I do wish that the gameplay had some other mechanics to keep the loop interesting, as it really just became a walking simulator waiting for the fox to scamper along after the first couple trips. The enemies themselves were suitably scary-looking, but bumping into them doesn't seem to do anything at all. Would be very excited to see what this cute base could be grown into!
Jan 10 23:45:05 10m 31s Organigrow ♥ 1 You know it's a great little game when the first couple comments on the post are people being angry/toxic about earning the high score 😂 Excellent, charming art style and fun gameplay. Nicely done!
Jan 11 02:59:39 3h 14m Click On Fish ♥ 1 A cute and fun little game! Once it goes from managing two species to eight, the chaos is delightful. Great music, sound, and visuals. Nicely done across the board!
Jan 11 03:11:48 12m 09s Starvesters ♥ 2 Absolutely gorgeous visually and aurally--almost seems more an art piece than a "game" truth be told. Captivating and overwhelmingly pleasant! Navigation was a bit tricky with gimbal lock preventing me from rotating in the direction I often found myself wanting to rotate... game could be a lot smoother and more enjoyable with a quaternion rotation system permitting all the flight turns your heart could want. If that's already implemented, then I'm not sure what leads to the steering hitch, but something's repeatedly catching and it has to do with rotating with A and D
Jan 11 04:00:23 48m 35s Harvest Mouse: Veggie Survivor ♥ 2 Fun little game! The art was all very pleasant, and the enemies coming in with different stats was a nice touch... I always knew those little eggplant emojis would be the death of me :(
Jan 11 04:07:59 7m 36s The Dust Harvest ♥ 1 Very rough at first as you tend to die really quickly to enemies before you can learn what anything does... especially given that you don't spawn with ammo! A slightly more detailed tutorial on your first time playing would really help players figure out what's going on. Once I cleared that early hump, things started to click into place... a really smooth and stylish survival shooter!
Jan 11 04:18:07 10m 08s THE REVERSE CARD: Harvest the ladybug! ♥ 0 when 🚩 is clicked become bullet die
Jan 11 04:41:00 22m 53s Endless Harvest ♥ 1 It's a very pleasant and calming little card game, but the mechanics are currently very game-able: you can just hit 'end turn' over and over again to generate massive amounts of cards; the orange effect cards are never a worthwhile investment, as they cost more than the cash harvest they're saving (with the only exception of using a single rain storm card); there is no incentive for players to try to plant crops under oncoming damage. With some tuning to address the above and more cards added in, this could be an interesting base!
Jan 11 04:47:24 6m 24s Big Aussie Harvest ♥ 4 Playing this game will make you fail 9 of the 14 commercially-available drug tests currently on the market
Jan 11 05:07:28 20m 04s Organ Harvest Season ♥ 2 @kiv it took me a few tries to figure out, but you can hide behind the trees to avoid the police as long as they don't see you hide!
Jan 11 06:02:01 54m 33s Orchard Alchemy ♥ 1 A super impressive compo game that drips with polish! I'm a big fan of factorio-adjacent automation games and this one definitely taps into the same addictive energy. must... fling more fruit
Jan 13 06:35:45 48h 33m Egg Egg Chicken ♥ 1 An awesome little area defense game! I did love the way that the screen fills up and becomes chaotic as you're scrambling and trying to decide if you want to click eggs / generate income or defeat enemies. Nice push-and-pull feeling between progression and defense. Nice job!
Jan 13 06:48:58 13m 13s The PIT ♥ 1 Awesome puzzler! It's really a delight to be home-growing the pieces you play the puzzle with, and it's such a refreshing breath of fresh air to be fitting pieces in a board that *aren't* your classic tetrominos. Great gameplay loop, and the plants' look were interesting, memorable, and inventive. Nicely done!
Jan 13 07:25:41 36m 43s Harvest ♥ 0 The variety of items to stack/balance keeps things both amusing and fresh. The physics seems well-implemented and responsive. Nicely done!
Jan 13 07:53:23 27m 42s Night of the Werevester ♥ 2 Hail, fellow combine-running-people-over team! The opening cinematic was hilarious, and the gameplay was a lot of fun--accelerating through the fields and dodging the cars flying at your face while people raved around you. My record was meters shy of 2km. Hilarious and polished game overall. Nicely done!
Jan 13 08:12:03 18m 40s Art Of Harvest ♥ 1 5:20 overall time, so I'm basically a fully certified farmer now 😎 I found the slidey/drifty controls of the vehicle fun, and the voice sound effects were a nice touch (although given that the track is like 5 minutes long, a slightly longer loop wouldn't hurt :P ) Overall, me and my friend who simultaneously raced had fun!
