Jan 9 22:32:26 ZenBox ♥ 1 While i liked the atmosphere and the visual of it, it didn't seems much of a game as it is a work of art. Any way you see, it's a fantastic creation. Congrats.
Jan 9 22:44:23 11m 57s Farmtown Mowdown ♥ 2 I really enjoyed the artstyle. It brought me back twenty years or so. Also the sfx are really fitting with the taunts "GET AWAY FROM MY COMBINE" and "HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW". Sadly, the controls felt a bit clunky, i guess maybe because it was running in a browser. Maybe a standalone version wouldn't have the problems of the cursor going out of the screen and such. Also, i got found a bug when i first entered the upgrade menu and the grame wouldn't allow me exiting it. Great entry. Congrats!
Jan 9 22:45:29 1m 06s Oxygen Harvest ♥ 0 404 on itch.io
Jan 9 22:52:57 7m 28s The Last Straw ♥ 3 10/10 horror movie intro Really enjoyed the graphics and the atmosphere. I am wondering if the controls are purposedly clunky for maximize the fun of the game (it kind adds challenge) and i'll assume that's the case. I just am sad that after that intro i don't control the scarecrow from hell. Excellent entry.
Jan 9 23:10:14 17m 17s Chic hen's harvest ♥ 1 Liked the use of 2D sprites over 3D scenario. I felt that the controls are a bit clunky, but it doesn't make the game unplayable. I am only concerned with the chicks staying in the love bed while the rooster and the hen are there doing their business! Also, nice that the chicks are buffed as their father. Good job!
Jan 10 21:33:43 22h 23m Infernal Garden ♥ 0 Whoa, that was a really nice entry. I found everything really nice and polished, from the mechanics to the graphics and the sounds. But what i found most interesting is that the concept is easy to understand and doesn't need tutorials and such. Excellent job!
Jan 10 21:42:18 8m 35s Harvest Humans: Galactic Gathering ♥ 0 I really enjoyed the artstyle and overall idea. I just found the music and the gameplay a little too repetitive, maybe it could have a way to fight back the missiles or request to take specific humans to the mothership, but i understand that given the jam timeframe it is really complicated. Also, i think it has a bug that allows you to go underground for some reason. Other than that, good job!
Jan 10 21:51:57 9m 39s Jacques Boomer's Garden ♥ 1 There seems to be a problem in the html5 version. I couldn't play the web version, it stayed stuck on title screen. However, i downloaded the standalone version and it worked fine. Really appreciated the retro graphics and sounds, which were fitting for the game purpose. Also, while the movimentation style through the platforms (which i expected some jump from one to another and if you fall you die) seemed odd for a moment, in no time it becames natural. Congrats for the game!
Jan 10 22:00:00 8m 03s THE HARVESTING ♥ 1 I found a few issues while playing. The art seems inconsistent, being the player, the enemies and the background done in different styles. Also, i particullary think that the shooting could continue on it's own rate as the mouse button keep being pressed, not requiring to click in every shoot. In the other way, it's a nice twist to the harvest theme, playing as the harvest, not the harvester. The main character "dance" is something nice as well.
Jan 10 22:10:37 10m 37s DeadLyft ♥ 3 I'm not really into text based games, but this seems really nice. The art and sound really sets the ambience of the experience and i'm amazed at the amount of content you produced, even with the Junie part incomplete. Also, nice touch with the wiggling letters to catch the attention to the details! Congrats!
