Jan 8 22:48:31 Night of the Zombie Chickens ♥ 1 Now that's my kind of harvesting. 350 hours in Farming Simulator prepared me for this! Great take on the theme. Took me a little bit to understand how to play. Harvesting (of normal crops) didn't work for me, or I am perhaps doing something wrong. How was Godot 4 treating you, by the way? I wanted to check 4, but I went with 3.5, for extra safety. :)
Jan 9 05:54:29 7h 05m Harvest Mania ♥ 2 Pretty fun game and great job for your first Ludum Dare! I like the night-day transitions! I would suggest some tutorial or "How to play," because it took me few tries to figure everything out. First time, I just harvested everything as soon as it grew and ended up having no pollen and confused. Second time, I waited for pollen to appear above flowers which it did, but then I took the pollen and harvested flower right away. And on third try, I finally figured out that flowers are giving more pollen, so I should not harvest them super quickly. Could be just my sleep deprivation tho. :)
Jan 9 06:17:29 23m 00s Aorta ♥ 2 Love take on the theme, gotta harvest some human organs from time to time as well, not just crops. Great atmosphere and well done with the heartbeat! Two little things - my mouse cursor was visible through the whole game, which was kind of disruptive, I recommend hiding it next time. And would be great if game paused when reading letters. I couldn't read the whole letters due to being chased. But that could be on purpose, when I think about it. Anyway, great job, loved it!
Jan 9 06:34:41 17m 12s Real Harvest or not??? ♥ 2 Great job with your first Ludum Dare! Really well looking graphics and animations! Fights are pretty challenging, but I was able to progress pretty nicely. As comments above said, attack could have some better key, like E or Space, but no biggie. :) Great job!
Jan 9 06:47:00 12m 19s Petra Rabbit's Carrot Chase ♥ 1 Loved the graphics style here. Very amusing music and sounds, I bet you had a lot of fun here! If there is something I would improve slightly, it's the camera - would be great to be able to zoom in or zoom out, and perhaps even be able to move it 360° all around, but that's really nitpicking. Enemies didn't pose a lot of challenge, since their hitboxes were fairly small and you can dodge them easily. But all in all, very well done and had a lot of fun, and my bunny too!
Jan 9 06:54:54 7m 54s A Small Village ♥ 2 Amazing artstyle here - it looks so elegant and good! However, it was a little bit too challenging for me. I think this game would benefit greatly from are some simple animation that would show you that you are doing something, because at first, I didn't even know my villager was doing anything until I looked at the numbers below. But I understand that there was probably not enough time for that. Either way, great job here!
Jan 9 07:05:36 10m 42s Erntehelfer ♥ 4 Really good job with controls here. Harvesting is super satisfying for some reason, it really scratches my itch. Gameplay is fun and kept me engaged. Loved the use of questionable images, really made me laugh. Great job here, one of my favorite games so far!
Jan 9 07:16:44 11m 08s Another Veggie Harvester Unit ♥ 0 This was super zen for me for some reason. Kind of zoned out and just drove around, collecting vegetables. For some really uknown reason to me, the background reminded me of backgrounds in Tabletop Simulator, don't really know why, but it was giving out similar vibe. Btw since your game is Jam one, you still have time to implement the final screen; Jam games have 72 hours time limit, unlike Compo ones. I noticed that vegetables have Czech names too. If you're Czech as well, then zdravím a dobrá práce. :)
Jan 9 07:44:57 28m 13s Carrot Simulator ♥ 1 Awesome graphics and animations. I loved the `>:|` face on the arm and carrot's face, especially when caught! I wonder whether you didn't mix height and width settings on itch.io, because it loads as portrait mode instead of landscape for me: 2023-01-09_08-39-24.png But that can be fixed easily by making the game fullscreen. Also, this is a really good music! Not sure if shopping working properly for me - I would prefer instant response from trader, but maybe I was just doing something work. Either way, great job here!
Jan 9 17:47:46 10h 02m Minerals Planter ♥ 1 Nice first time LD entry! I really liked the graphics and premise. Controls were pretty good and smooth. But enemies are pretty ruthless, I think one hit to kill them would be more than enough. Lizards are properly freaky, with their super fast movements, they set the mood nicely when you see them crawling in the background. :)
Jan 9 18:09:43 21m 57s Island Survivor ♥ 1 This was actually a lot of fun to play, and with wide variety of enemies. Sounds were great, especially "ouch", which was very amusing considering the fact that you are attacked by such a huge animals. Graphics were fairly simple, but worked well! I think that there is a great potential for this to be a really fun game to play, if you went with more shooting directions at once, and to counter that, spawn more enemies; just imagine that possible mayhem, that would be awesome! Great job. :) My results btw: 2023-01-09_19-03-11.png
Jan 9 18:16:44 7m 01s Down to Earth ♥ 0 Nice entry. This got nice mix of smooth and easy to understand controls while having engaging action. Once there is a lot of enemies, it gets pretty tense. Thank god the pickups don't disappear, that would be nervewracking even more. Great job you did here, had a lot of fun. :)
Jan 9 19:30:58 1h 14m Noxious Harvest ♥ 1 Loved this one. Very different kind of game compared to most of other ones. When looking at screenshots, I didn't expect HTML5 game, because it looks beautiful! Really good textures and nice animations, loved it. Just the right amount of challenge and seeking. And thank you for including sprint as well. Well done. :)
Jan 10 06:09:23 10h 38m Operation Carrotfield ♥ 1 Great music and nice take on the theme. My bunny approves, except for the use of nuclear weapons. Is that the reason why some carrots can grow into grotesque sizes? Either way, very fun game, but gets very easy the more you play. Great job here!
Jan 10 06:19:06 9m 43s Charles, the Bee ♥ 3 Wow, what a great game you made in such a small time! I realy loved the visuals - the game looks so good! Music is great too. I liked both sections of the game - dancing was fun (although I would personally like to see some visual feedback when hitting it right or wrong). And the collecting section was realy great. I like that you included the arrow that points where to fly - really useful. Super polished, and definitely one of my favorite games so far!
Jan 10 06:30:28 11m 22s Flush U ♥ 4 This must be the most original take on the theme I've seen yet. Very amusing! Great sounds, "walking" animations combined with their sound were really funny! And you don't see many local coop games. But towards the end, the game spawns so many aliens, that there is no reason to fight over them anymore. When I look at their numbers, I shudder to think how it's going to look like in that shop!
Jan 10 06:43:23 12m 55s Farm Them All- TechNet ♥ 4 This is an impressive amount of work. I was impressed by the AI and environment that can be destroyed. Assets look great and coherent. Fake chat is great and very funny! Too bad that the tractor doesn't have more weight to it, I think it's too easy to flip it to its side. Other than that, super amazing and impressive entry!
Jan 10 15:50:13 9h 06m Harvest Soon ♥ 1 Incredibly beautiful color palet here! Graphics are so simple, yet so well done. I really love the attention to detail like when you have a non-square field and it's not a perfect shape, but edges somewhere are imperfect. Love it! I would realy love to be able to switch between items by pressing 1-9 on the keyboard though, that would be awesome!
Jan 10 15:58:51 8m 38s Reap ♥ 1 You got the looks right; this really looks like old flash games. It has its charm! I think this is a good first time LD entry. And Godot is indeed amazing. :)
Jan 10 16:10:50 11m 59s Apples & Oranges ♥ 1 Very clever idea! Random generation like this definitely adds to the replayability. And glad that enemies are somewhat predictable, with their specific patterns. However, I felt that I had to rely on mercy of RNG gods too much, which don't usually like me, so the game often spawned me right next to enemies, or I got to the dead end quickly. However, great job here, had fun! :)
Jan 11 05:46:36 13h 35m Reaper's Holiday ♥ 1 That was a lot of fun. I was actually able to beat ghosts on a second try because I noticed that you are able to steal the coin from them even after they grab it, so I was stealing it out of their hands. :) Great music choice, assets look good and controls are nice. And 20 seconds of gametime is perfect for jam game. Great job!
Jan 11 05:55:13 8m 37s haarvest ♥ 1 Having your own engine is impressive! When I looked at the source code, then yeah, that's a proper, real programming. :) Although there is not much gameplay, the atmosphere is great and tense, so great job there. Really anxiety inducing. Looking forward your next games!
Jan 11 06:06:34 11m 21s HER-V ♥ 3 Wow, this is very impressive! The game kept me really engaged, and the gameplay is really fun, I love this! Graphics look properly retro and simple great. And the gameplay is super polished for such a small amount of time. I got game over just short of 6/6 phase. Incredible job, really well done! I think if you spend some more time on it after LD, I don't see a reason why this couldn't be a proper, standalone game. :) Who's going to beat my score? 2023-01-11_07-02-38.png
Jan 11 06:14:56 8m 22s "Neighborly Love" ♥ 1 What a great game! Intro is amazing, and never knew tomatoes were pretty much berries, just better! As mentioned above, at first, I thought it was about being your neighbor while everyone working on their own fields, but then he crossed to mine and I was very surprised, so it was on! Got beaten the first round, but I beat him on the next try. Very amusing to push your enemy into the traffic. Great controls, music, sounds and graphics too. And AI felt really smart and human like. Amazing job with this one! I really love it, had a lot of fun!
Jan 11 06:26:44 11m 48s There Was A Day ♥ 5 You don't see many graphical novels this jam, so this is a nice change. Great story and writing! And I welcome our new AI overlords. It's scary how good loking art AI is able to generate. However, more facial expressions would make the characters feel more engaging. And, and I have this issue with almost all visual novels - I am a pretty fast reader, so the text appearing felt kind of slow, I would prefer to have it a little bit faster. This way, I revealed the whole dialogs right away. But that's no biggie. Great job here!
Jan 11 06:52:41 25m 57s Elite Brain Harvester Zombie ♥ 2 Fairly simple, but kept me engaged! Very fun use of music and sounds effects! Updates are great and make a lot of sense. I wish there was some hit indicator, not just for me, but for the enemies as well. At first, I thought my attacks weren't doing anything :)
Jan 11 08:05:05 1h 12m Honey Harvest ♥ 0 Great idea, but a little bit too challenging for me. I think this was the closest call :) 2023-01-11_09-02-57.png
Jan 11 11:47:47 3h 42m Harvest Simulator ♥ 1 Fairly simple game, but fun! LOD is pretty amusing, but what else can be done, right? Haha. I love that you included the online scoreboard. I am third now! 2023-01-11_12-44-28.png
Jan 11 12:06:33 18m 46s Pointless Harvest ♥ 2 Blows my mind how well optimised this is! Runs like a butter and looks gorgeous. I was wondering whether this wasn't made in Unreal, because it looks so good and was surprised that it's actually Unity. You're very talented! Harvesting feels very satisfying with its great feedback and sounds! The only thing I would improve are hitboxes - they felt slightly too big and unforgiving. Another thing would be faster progression, since it feels kind of slow. But that has been mentioned several times already. Awesome job here, you could have a full feature game out of this if you work on it after LD!
Jan 11 12:23:26 16m 53s H. R. Vest ♥ 4 Finished this. I love the use of the hand drawn graphics; nice change from the usual pixel/low-poly look of most of the games, I always have a soft spot for hand drawn graphics. Atmosphere here is just amazing! The use of light going out is superb and works great. Puzzles weren't too hard for me. The only thing to improve would be a text - sometimes it rendered slightly blurry, but that's realy nitpicking. Great game, one of my favorites!
Jan 11 12:32:31 9m 05s Herfst ♥ 3 That's a very unique take on the theme! Loved the graphics. I am a sucker for weird and borderline creepy games like this. Well done! Too bad there aren't pretty much any sounds, those would make this really special. Great game still, loved it!
Jan 11 16:35:19 4h 02m Village of Plenty ♥ 3 Interesting take on the theme, you don’t see many card games here! What I lacked the most is the tutorial or even a simple description of how to play, because card games are not really my thing. So, I am doing something, but I am really not sure whether correctly at all. :)
Jan 11 17:57:46 1h 22m Soul Harverster ♥ 2 Interesting take on the theme! And impressive that you were able to pack the multiplayer into it. I think dod108 said everything that needs to be said. But I have to say that you're very brave to try to tackle a beast that is Unreal on your first try. I was unsure about using 3D in Godot, and I've been familiar with that engine for quite some time, so your bravery definitely inspires me. Keep going. :)
Jan 12 05:53:32 11h 55m The Neighbour's Peanuts ♥ 1 You don't see many games made in Blender directly. Great job, very amusing and perfect length for a jam game!
Jan 12 06:06:02 12m 30s The Harvest of the Corn Children ♥ 1 That's kinda funny, I was thinking about the Children of the Corn when thinking about the this theme, so, interesting take on the theme here! The biggest issue for me were controls - if you stop holding the key, you should make the Donald stop right away. That jump on the right is frustrating, because he just keeps sliding off of it. Otherwise very interesting - seems like your own engine, that's always interesting, and interesting to see the source code in one file! And I realy liked the music. Great job, if you really spent only 15 minutes on it!
Jan 12 06:12:12 6m 10s Harbinger's Harvest ♥ 0 Love bullet hell types of games. I think the huge improvement for the enemies would be a knockback effect - I can see I am killing them, but I don't feel it. And the movement is kind of "floaty", so it makes it kinda hard to dodge projectiles. Otherwise, I had a lot of fun, the music is nice, and I think you did a great job here!
Jan 12 06:21:00 8m 48s (we sell) P.E.O.P.L.E. ♥ 1 Interesting take on the theme! As many, I didn't notice that those boxes were scrollable. Good practice is to make the box a specific side that it cuts the text a litle, which suggest scrollability. Too bad it doesn't scale, would make it easier for me to read everything: 2023-01-12_07-16-44.gif Otherwise, very interesting idea and once I understood it properly, I had fun. But deadlines are sure brutal, just like in real life. :)
Jan 12 06:35:03 14m 03s Penrose Process ♥ 0 I think that this is actually pretty great! The graphics reminded me of old vector graphics games, the music is excellent and the dynamic gameplay where the speed changes depending on your position was very fun! What was a little bit disruptive was the music cutting off and then starting again very often. You have a great music here, so I think it would be better to just have it play in the main menu and then keep playing it without any disruptions. Eventually cut it on the game over screen, but even that is unnecessary, I think. Anyway, great game here, especially considering the fact that you only spent 16 hours on it!
Jan 12 06:48:44 13m 41s Martian Mind Hunter ♥ 1 Impressive for such a small amount of time! Very nice and elegant visuals that felt very smooth and stylish. Surprisingly, I understood how to play really quickly, which is not usual for me as I don't play RTS very much, so great job there! Apart from few tiny things, like squares not always rendering and, I don't have much to add, that wasn't mentioned already. Great job here!
Jan 12 15:39:30 8h 50m Bean Farmer Extreme 2 ♥ 2 This was some proper extreme, button mashing fun. First round is pretty challenging, but once you get into it, this is super fun! Probably the most fun and engaging game I've played this jam so far! Very good choice of colors - it looks great, but at the same time, pleases my eyes! Animations were fun too - especially the sun on the select screen! Also, you have some really great music here! Definitely one of my favorite games of this jam!
Jan 12 17:48:33 2h 09m Heart's Harvest ♥ 0 Very interesting idea! As people above mentioned, controls weren't super straightforward at the beginning, but I got used to them quickly. I really enjoyed listening stories and thoughts of residents! Growing is pretty fun, however, cooking became kind of a chore after a while. Why can't I rate this beautiful game, by the way? 🤔
Jan 12 18:06:18 17m 45s Desert Harvest ♥ 1 Interesting take on the theme! What I missed the most were some indicators - I was not sure about the status of every pod. Even number would be great. But 48 hours is very limiting, so that's alright. And it seems that you wrote the whole game yourself without using any game engine, just with the SDL library, which is always huge plus and I would say usually much more programming than devs who use game engines. :)
Jan 12 18:18:00 11m 42s A Farmer's nightmare ♥ 1 A lot of fun! You really nailed the harvesting now. It feels super responsive and satisfying, which not something a lot of games can accomplish, especially with such a time limit. Art style and colors chosen are great too! But I always got rekt by the blood wheat in the end. The nightmare never ends! Great game :)
Jan 13 16:25:05 22h 07m Pickey (VR Only) ♥ 1 Would love to rate your game back, as I do for everybody who leaves the comment under my game, but I don't have VR. :( Maybe next time. :)
Jan 13 16:30:54 5m 49s a farmer and his fields, bound together ♥ 1 I love how Pico-8 makes the games feel properly retro. Nice graphics and sounds. This surely makes me feel how tedious farming is. One full year was enough, my wrist hurts, I want to go back to the office, farming is not for me! I wonder whether someone went through all 60 years, those would need some extra price :)
Jan 13 16:36:45 5m 51s Radiance ♥ 2 This looks absolutely mindblowingly great! And those sounds... you definitely hit the mood big time. It looks, sounds and feels awesome. Haven't seen any idle game this jam yet. However, as others mentioned, it would need more things to buy. If I were you, I would continue on this after jam, I think you could have something realy great here. :)
Jan 13 16:42:32 5m 47s Harkonnen Daily ♥ 3 Very original take on the theme. Graphics are nice and stylish, and sounds are great! It's totally awesome to throw humans to the worm. However, gets a little repetitive after a while. It ran totally fine and like butter in the browser for me (Chrome, i5-12400, RTX 3060). Great job here!
Jan 13 16:51:55 9m 23s Sparkle Slime Mushroom Man ♥ 0 Nice sprites! And it feels very dynamic with time slowing down on mouse hold and with different velocity depending on the mouse position. Very fun to play and I love timer getting bigger when there are only few seconds left, feels very dramatic! Too bad there aren't any sounds, those would make it even better! Regardless, this is a great entry and you did a great job!
Jan 17 06:14:41 85h 22m Protect the Garden ♥ 2 Haven't seen the tower defence game this LD yet, so, nice one! Having to harvest your "towers" is an interesting twist. However, it is too challenging at the beginning - player should start with a little bit more money. It would also make it easier if the player could select plant by clicking on its icon - I accidentally placed it behind the UI, despite your warnings. Also, the game over sound scared the hell out of me. Otherwise, this is a very nice game and definitely replayable several times. :)
Jan 17 06:21:37 6m 56s Space Harvest ♥ 1 Interesting take on the theme and interesting to see Unreal used for 2D! Good color palette choice and interesting music! I was able to win after a third try. Once you understand what you're doing, it's pretty fun! But it was pretty confusing at the beginning - would be cool to have more different sprites for soldiers, because everyone looking the same made me think that the game was bugged somehow. Then I noticed that I had to harvest them and I understood. Nice entry! :)
