| Jan 9 10:57:52 | Final Harvest | ♥ 1 | As the others said, great graphics and mood! I also got stuck on the collisions sometimes and I agree that some sort of feedback to the player (be it on form of UI or dialogue or otherwise) would help with the end not feeling so abrupt. But especially for a first game jam entry, this is very good! | |
| Jan 9 11:05:55 | 8m 03s | NITRO Combine | ♥ 0 | A very innovative way of character controls I would say ;) Though I have to admit, a bit more control over the directions would help a little. I'm not sure if there is an ending to the game? I played for a couple minutes, but it continues to go on. Also, the UI is showing me a box that goes over two thirds of the screen prompting me to click inside it to move, but clicks seem to be registered also outside the box. Maybe a resolution thing? |
| Jan 9 11:18:59 | 13m 04s | Not another farmer game | ♥ 1 | This is a great entry! I like that you have a clear game loop that is both chill and challenging and very easy to understand. 2 things I think could be improvements: - A dedicated interact button would make sense, as it would happen a lot that I was on my way to a specific fruit but touched the trigger for the box next to it unintentionally. I would then be stuck with the unwanted fruit until I planted it somewhere - Might just be a bug, but while holding a seed, I was able to trigger the chop animation, but chopping the trees would not work. Maybe consider disabling the animation or allowing tree chopping while holding a seed But these are just minor things, I enjoyed my few runs a lot. I especially like that everything just grows on trees. I'd love me some strawberry tree in my garden! |
| Jan 9 11:34:21 | 15m 22s | Harvest Season | ♥ 1 | With that title screen you had me immediately! Great entry, the mood is very cool. I generally don't like mazes, but since this is not really a maze puzzle, I think it adds to the tension not to know if there's a dead end around the corner. I eventually made it to the exit but played again to see what happened if it got me, did not regret. Well done! |
| Jan 9 11:43:19 | 8m 58s | Noxious Harvest | ♥ 1 | I agree about the movement being a bit sluggish at time, but I still was able to finish it. Took a while to find a place for the third item, as you said earlier, it would probably be better to make the shapes a bit more unique. But overall a good, and good looking entry! |
| Jan 9 11:52:26 | 9m 07s | Shoo! | ♥ 1 | Loved the sound when spamming the shoo button, but I hope my neighbors didn't hear it. Good game with a simple and clear loop, though I also couldn't get past level 3. I feel like the shoos should affect a larger area, like the others said. Overall very well done! |
| Jan 9 11:59:08 | 6m 42s | Fading Souls | ♥ 2 | Very atmospheric and spooky, the music and sfx are very well done and fitting. The only thing a bit weird was the running - it sometimes wouldn't trigger. Is there a hidden stamina system? Other than that, great spin on the theme, well done! |
| Jan 9 12:03:06 | 3m 58s | Petra Rabbit's Carrot Chase | ♥ 1 | Liked it a lot, great presentation! At first I found it weird that I can just walk around the enemies, when they are rushing at me, but then I appreciated it and thought that it adds to the overall design. Nice entry! |
| Jan 9 12:16:47 | 13m 41s | Hobo Burgers | ♥ 0 | Took me a few moments to get it, same as the commenter above me. I ended up selling almost all of my customers burgers that I found in the trash, but they didn't mind and I like that this is a viable strategy for winning the game. And I got a nice reward at the end! Nice, weird entry! |
| Jan 9 17:30:17 | 5h 13m | Let's get this bread | ♥ 1 | Exactly my kind of humor, very good! |
| Jan 9 17:34:42 | 4m 25s | Sticks and Stones | ♥ 1 | Feels great to play and has a nice style, but for my slow brain there's too much going on to be able to succeed ;) |
| Jan 9 17:41:19 | 6m 37s | Maize Runner | ♥ 1 | The art is so great, love the animations and how the character reacts to the maize, small touches like this add a lot to the polished feel. The first few times I died almost immediately, but then I got the hang of it and made it home. Well done! |
| Jan 9 17:57:52 | 16m 33s | Ramming into Trees | ♥ 2 | This was fun! I agree that the trees having names (and eyes?) is a nice touch. The bike controlled very well and I liked the progression system. The feedback and sound of hitting trees was also very satisfying, well done! |
| Jan 9 18:30:59 | 33m 07s | Bloodflail | ♥ 2 | Played this for longer than I thought I would, it is super satisfying. I love how you kept the upgrades seemingly uncapped so at some point the game basically played itself, which again was very satisfying. Music, sounds and graphics are great as well! Well done! |
| Jan 11 00:11:05 | 29h 40m | Aorta | ♥ 1 | Mood and atmosphere are on point, creepy! Well done! |
| Jan 11 00:17:11 | 6m 06s | Harvest Hop | ♥ 1 | Stared at and clicked on the screen for a minute and tried to figure out what to do, then I saw the potato in the corner. Gave me some nostalgic Angry Birds vibes, and I like nostalgia, so well done! |
| Jan 11 00:25:47 | 8m 36s | Ratalie's Escape | ♥ 0 | Had no problem starting the game. And it was quite fun, I managed to save a lot of my rat friends (though, they might have been save under the earth anyway? ;)) I agree with one of the other people who commented that the abilities on 1 + 2 is not really ideal, maybe q and e would have been a choice worth considering. But otherwise, a fun and solid entry, well done! |
| Jan 11 00:31:48 | 6m 01s | Season of Harvest | ♥ 1 | Very hard, but thanks for the tool tips. I think I didn't quite get the hang of it, but I tend to be bad at these kind of games. Visually it's very pretty and the sounds and music work well, too! Well done! |
| Jan 11 00:34:56 | 3m 08s | Carvester | ♥ 3 | Ha, very good idea and a great name ;) Liked the mechanics, would have loved some sound effects, but the music and visuals also work very well together. Cool entry! |
| Jan 11 00:47:17 | 12m 21s | Elite Brain Harvester Zombie | ♥ 1 | Worked pretty well, I think it could use a bit more tempo or some other sort of dynamic element, maybe more enemy types? Other than that a pretty solid entry! I liked the acapella and layered aspects to the music a lot, well done! |
| Jan 12 21:43:01 | 44h 55m | Hidden Tales | ♥ 1 | One of the most creative games I played in LD52, love those tiny narratives. Super cool! |
| Jan 12 21:50:00 | 6m 59s | Harvest Reaper | ♥ 2 | I had a talent of jumping right into the projectiles of those archers, but that definitely was my fault. Otherwise a quite fun entry, which felt good to play even if the movement was a bit clunky at times. The attacking however felt very satisfying and made up for that. Well done! |
| Jan 12 21:57:53 | 7m 53s | Mow Rider Deluxe | ♥ 0 | Very cool, simple game! I love the idea of oldschool cheat codes for a jam game, so extra points for that. Also extra points to your son for his voice acting, he did a very good job! Well done! |
| Jan 12 22:03:28 | 5m 35s | Lil Death | ♥ 2 | I like it, really tight controls and a fast paced game loop. I like how quickly you're back in the game when you die. The knockback sometimes was a bit weird, but overall everything feels well thought out and polished. Well done! |
| Jan 12 22:09:51 | 6m 23s | RED HARVEST | ♥ 1 | I agree with everyone above, very creepy atmosphere. I also think that - at least for the start of the game - the enemies might be a bit to fast or strong. But otherwise very cool concept and execution, also the making of you put up is really interesting! |
| Jan 12 22:17:58 | 8m 07s | Shape Orchard | ♥ 1 | One of the most visually pleasing entries I've seen so far, very cool. Also the mechanic with the color mixing is very nice. I feel like the movement of the circles could use be a bit of work, sometimes it felt quite floaty. Also this game would be perfect for a subtle ambient soundscape, but even without that it's a very cool, and very unique game! |
| Jan 12 22:30:52 | 12m 54s | Oasis of Souls | ♥ 3 | Super cool and pretty game! I made a game with a similar fixed camera once and it was the main thing people complained about, but I think you used it pretty well here, as it guided me pretty efficiently through the level. Special shoutout to the composer, I liked the music a lot. Well done, everyone! |
| Jan 12 22:38:41 | 7m 49s | Veggie Tamer | ♥ 1 | I love a good nostalgic game, and this is definitely one. I don't have a strong affection for pokemon games, but I used to play the first ones back then, so this kind of brought me back there. Only thing I didn't really like were the controls, but that's mostly because I use QWERTZ layout and the Z key was very far from the others :) Overall very well done! |
| Jan 12 22:44:51 | 6m 10s | GRIM REAPER: Harvester of Souls | ♥ 0 | Great one, fast paced and diverse mechanics and enemy types. I didn't get anywhere near the leaderboard ranks, but I still had fun! Well done! |
| Jan 12 22:52:38 | 7m 47s | Whap Harvest | ♥ 0 | Cute simple game! I liked the hit & catch loop a lot. It was quite easy to cheese by just spamming the mouse button, but that's just a minor complaint. Maybe the fish could move at different speeds or change their speed along the way or something like that. Or a longer cooldown for the wha. After all, even bears don't have infinite stamina! But overall well done! |
| Jan 14 15:21:44 | 40h 29m | The Harvest Inspector | ♥ 2 | Fantastic mood, I especially like the music and how it fits the tempo of the countdown. Made me really nervous and anxious (a good thing in this game!). I also liked the way I had to figure everything out just by being given a fixed amount of information, though I think some sort of help or guidance would make it easier to approach for people with bad short term memory (like myself). But overall, great game with an even greater presentation! |
| Jan 14 15:29:16 | 7m 32s | YO, HARV! | ♥ 1 | Great take on the theme, love the audio and the in-your-face presentation! Made it to 11 and got a nice vest for Harv. Well done! |
| Jan 14 15:36:15 | 6m 59s | Damn Rats - LD52 | ♥ 1 | Those poor rats. I just finished playing A Plague Tale and this feels like a spiritual successor of some sorts ;) Great entry, well done! |
