| Jan 11 04:05:48 | Moon 2023 | ♥ 0 | I struggled figuring out how to play at first, but managed to fill my tanks on the third try! Then I wanted to try strat with just one harvest so I put it right next to the tank which I was surprised worked as well as it did. I think there needs to be some more incentive to move farther from the tanks like there's only specific parts you can extract from or allowing the player to harvest something themselves that the harvesters cant get so the player is encouraged to drive around to the left parts of the map more | |
| Jan 11 05:44:11 | 1h 38m | Harvest Me, Harvest Me Not | ♥ 1 | I love how the stories were connected and how there's a bunch of endings to get. I was gonna go for all of them but got a little demotivated when I couldn't get back to the first menu to check my progress. Also idk why, but I love that death is sitting down with all the people. It gives him a really human quality like he's really trying to get to know the person. Writing and art were great, game was awesome! Well done! |
| Jan 11 07:18:55 | 1h 34m | Grave Harvest | ♥ 9 | Heck ya! took me like 100 times but I finally got it when I realized cutting the weeds gave you fertilizer too oops xD GraveHarvest.png |
| Jan 12 02:04:33 | 18h 45m | Charles, the Bee | ♥ 3 | This was really cute and wholesome and that music bee poppin! I liked how the pollen moved around and there were other bees buzzing about to make the world feel more alive. The crickets and glowing pollen when you enter the night life and the music getting louder as you get closer were some really nice additions! A couple points of minor improvements: -I think the pollen transfer was too long for the larger entrance fees. It could probably just be a set duration, no matter the amount -W key for boosting too since space isn't used for anything else -Could be cool idea to get rewarded some pollen based on your performance in the song parts as more incentive for doing well :D also nice bee movie link xD |
| Jan 12 03:27:22 | 1h 22m | The Orchid's Edge | ♥ 2 | Victory! Really solid character controller, it was fun running around collecting stuff xD Here's some improvements I could think of -less delay at end of dash, character felt really responsive otherwise -more groups of collectibles (like groups of 5 maybe) + more collectibles required to win to balance it out. The collecting sound effects are really satisfying and I think it would feel better to collect more at once -Sometimes the crystals were hard to get after killing flying enemies, could have it so those ones specifically move towards you and auto collect -reduce attack speed of ranged guys a bit. There were a couple times they hit me and I immediately jumped to try and kill it again only for it to shoot me down a second or third time xD |
| Jan 12 04:25:50 | 58m 28s | Adelie - Water Under the Bridge | ♥ 1 | ohhhhhho ho ho u KNOW Im coming back to this one meep >:D AdelieWaterUnderTheBridge.png |
| Jan 12 22:44:11 | 18h 18m | Powered Plants | ♥ 1 | Awesome game! Loved the simple art style and it was very polished! The ability variety of the plants was dope as hek too <3 I was only able to get to 12 and I gave it a few tries xD The interface is all really intuitive without having to read any instructions too, which can be a struggle even for seemingly simple games. Well done all around! The only thing I would have wanted changed would be stacking all the plants that didn't. Even the rock could be something like +def to adjacent plants maybe xD |
| Jan 26 05:36:19 | 318h 52m | Boat | ♥ 1 | Don't worry papa boat. I got you! Boat.png |
| Jan 26 06:30:49 | 54m 30s | Hotline Harvest | ♥ 1 | Sick ending lmao I tried spending a bunch on seeds to see how many I could get spawning xD HotlineHarvest.png |
| Jan 26 06:59:21 | 28m 32s | Harvesting Hustle | ♥ 1 | very cute! I got up to 37 sheeps <3! |
| Jan 26 08:43:31 | 1h 44m | Getting Apples In It | ♥ 1 | Very unique gameplay and I loved the technological dystopian undertones paired with the cute visuals xD I uploaded a vid of lvl 5 here: https://streamable.com/doxnzh Not my best run, but probs the silliest xD I can see how some people would have a hard time playing, but I had a great experience playing your game <3 Slow and steady wins the race! The only issue I really ran into was I kept clicking out of the screen. Even in full screen there's black bars on the sides that dont count as on the screen (21:9 aspect ratio monitor tho and web build) so my drone would just drop sometimes. The bouncy things seemed a little punishing at first too, but you can actually complete both levels that have them without touching them but its hard as heck on lvl 5 (Let me know if the vid deletes and I'll upload again. It gave me a warning that it will last a day but then I signed up so it would stay longer so idk) Also: how do tree shader? I been looking for something very similar but haven't found and I have zero shader skill hehe. is very cute! |
| Jan 27 05:15:42 | 20h 32m | 4 Souls 2 Reap | ♥ 2 | Sick game! That last jump was hard as heck xD The level design does a great job of testing your mastery of the mechanics in clever ways and I loved the character designs and color palette<3 |
| Jan 27 05:35:27 | 19m 45s | The Night Harvest | ♥ 1 | Took me way too many tries, but the ending is well worth every second of it. Very wholesome :3 |
| Jan 27 06:59:07 | 1h 23m | Cattle Juice | ♥ 1 | First run was 14 days, got it down to 7 on the second one (so close to getting 6 too!) xD main strat was spending way less time on the map screen since time progresses and making good use of bombs of course hehehe >:D CattleJuice.png |
| Jan 27 10:30:14 | 3h 31m | They Hide in the Fields | ♥ 2 | Spooky! Great game, everything was very cohesive in making an immersive experience! When we get home, I'm removing Tommy's vocal cords for ratting me out when I almost saved him the first time xD EDIT: Wanted to add I loved the flying saucer ominously chillin above too. I got a picture of it with my handsome baby boy, so cute! Smile for the camera Tommy! (Gonna post this in my FB group: Pictures of my handsome son Tommy) Fields2.png |
| Jan 27 11:17:17 | 47m 03s | Reap and Sow | ♥ 1 | Dang I thought I did pretty good with 1174 then see someone with 2.4k xD I like on your itch page you say you wanted to make fast paced game but thats not something you associate with "Harvest", I tried doing the same! hehe Even in the short play time, through multiple plays I kept noticing different ways to go and I thought that was really well done. Even on the verge of getting swarmed, you are encouraged to explore and I think the chests were always well worth the trouble of getting. Especially those gun upgrades >:D |
