Jan 8 00:20:17 Harvest Tataki - Whac-a-carrot ♥ 3 A good use of Pico-8. Challenging, but not too difficult. In the end however it was lightning-fast and there was no way I could keep up. Even so, I got a score of 50. Not sure how high that is in the scheme of things, but it's the best I can do up to now. A fun, well-designed game. Lovely music and sound effects. Nice retro graphics as well. screen.png
Jan 9 00:23:15 24h 02m Late Harvest ♥ 1 A fun game. Simple, intuitive interface — you can’t go wrong with that. I like the vibrant, painterly graphics as well. They match the mood of the music, which also has a lot of character. In terms of gameplay, it would have been good to see more variety — e.g. different areas and perhaps different monsters. But overall, this is a solid entry. Very creative.
Jan 9 01:06:01 42m 46s The grand harvest championship (I must win) ♥ 1 A very unusual game. The graphics are polished and the music is catchy. I had a bit of trouble learning the rules, but got the hang of it eventually. I was confused partly by the explosion effects — didn’t realize it was my plants growing. It was easy to confuse my plants with those of the opponent as well. Also, I seemed to get a preponderance of water cards — I wish I had more rocks and plants. Maybe it was the luck of the draw. Still, it’s a challenging game that wasn’t too difficult. Overall, a solid entry.
Jan 9 01:20:44 14m 43s Out Of Sight ♥ 2 Ha! A lot of fun. I couldn’t stop playing until I beat it. Took me 4-5 tries. How I wish there were a "hide" key — but you can’t have everything. Also, I was hoping for a more exciting “win” screen, but who am I to judge? Lord knows, my win screens are often lame. Anyway, one of the better games here. Nice work.
Jan 9 01:34:52 14m 08s Grim Harvest ♥ 2 Ha! You nailed the theme, albeit darkly. Excellent music and sound — the best thing about this game. It was also challenging, especially after Level 1 — there were some intense moments fleeing from the watchmen. I was hoping to see a little more variety in the environment (e.g., different grave stones, etc.), but that’s just a suggestion if you decide to develop this game. Overall, it is fun and imaginative. Nice work.
Jan 16 22:22:52 188h 48m Lightshrooms ♥ 1 Muchas gracias amigo. This is a fun game. I played it with @genie. We both had a good time. The chimes were relaxing and mood-lifting. Also, the game is challenging without being too difficult. As someone else mentioned, the red dots could be more helpful (maybe make their light last longer?). But it's just a small thing. Overall this game has just the right amount of complexity. A well-designed game. Nice work.
Jan 16 23:06:10 43m 18s Money grows on trees ♥ 1 This game is a lot of fun. I competed with one other, we took turns playing. I got a score of 53,000! Not bad, eh? Anyway, one thing I can suggest is to make the timer a little more prominent; we didn't even notice it until the second game. But that is just a small thing. Some music would be good as well. Otherwise, a super-fun game. Nice work!
Jan 16 23:57:47 51m 37s Pig Polly ♥ 1 A fun, addictive game. Graphics and sound are both very good. The music has a nice vibe to it. The leader board is also a good idea. With a score of 17 I got the #9 place (Skeez). We'll see how long that lasts.
Jan 23 22:09:58 166h 12m Pumpkin Panic ♥ 1 A relaxing game once the helpers begin to take over. Though as with others, my hand began to ache. A small price to pay. Interesting concept and it definitely nails the theme. @sirlich raises some good points about the end screen. Otherwise, a fun game and very good work I must say.
Jan 23 23:00:28 50m 30s Cardwork Cycle ♥ 1 This game was a tremendous amount of fun. I played it with @genie. We were both impressed with how well-designed this game is. Definitely one of the best here. I got hooked within the first few minutes, and couldn't stop playing. Eventually played the game through to the end, and enjoyed every minute. Only suggestion I can make is to have a more exciting Win screen. But that's no big deal. Superb game.
Jan 23 23:37:14 36m 46s Beeline ♥ 1 The graphics in this game are superb. It took a while to figure out gameplay but after a while it became more clear. Played it through to the end. Maybe it would be good to make the goal (the final level) clear from the beginning. Just a suggestion. Overall, a fun game. Nice work.
Jan 23 23:45:57 8m 43s Cultist Garden ♥ 2 Very good graphics, the best thing about this game. Took a while to figure out how to play, however, even with the instructions. I agree with @jamesboink. Even so, mood, images, and sound all seemed to fit together well.
Jan 24 00:15:50 29m 53s Disorder ♥ 1 A very unusual game, in my experience. The colors are vibrant and it's fun to scatter the shapes. It wasn't clear just how the percentage score is measured, but I was able to progress to Level 13. I got the magnet but couldn't get it to work. Very good graphics and striking mood. This game, simple though it is, shows a lot of imagination.
Jan 24 00:35:53 20m 03s KICK ♥ 0 A difficult, cerebral game that has a strange appeal. Sadly I got only to Year 24 before starving to death. I like the minimalistic graphics and the unusual mechanics. Just wish I had more clear instructions. Even so, it makes for an interesting puzzle game with a unique feel. A solid entry.
Jan 24 00:50:31 14m 38s tomato harvester ♥ 1 An interesting environment you have created. I was able to get a tomato plant to grow but could not get the knife to work, try as I might. If you could improve the controls and UI, this could be a lot of fun.
Jan 24 01:23:16 32m 45s Sky Harvest ♥ 0 Very challenging and addictive game. Could not get past a score of 5, but will keep trying. There seems to be a bug when the white line overlaps with food. Other than that it works smoothly. The retro music and graphics fit together well. As others have mentioned, I think 100 for a goal is too difficulty. Or, you could slow down the scroll speed. Anyway, a fun game. Good work.
