| Jan 8 21:25:14 | Virus Harvester | ♥ 2 | Took me a moment to figure this one out, but the way you interpreted the theme is quite clever. There's plenty of mileage to the idea; perhaps you could have some way of influencing the way that viruses spawn, or slowing them down later into the game, when there's too many of them to keep on top of. | |
| Jan 8 21:44:50 | 19m 36s | Ratalie's Escape | ♥ 1 | This could benefit from some indications of how many kernels I've eaten, how many rats I've saved - perhaps a score system? Trying to catch the kernels in midair is quite fun. |
| Jan 8 21:53:02 | 8m 12s | Drillydown | ♥ 1 | Nice graphical style, clever gameplay mechanics, good level design, and an impressive runtime - this is almost a complete package! Some of the sound effects are a bit obnoxious, though. Also, the web build doesn't seem to be working. |
| Jan 8 22:02:36 | 9m 34s | Desdamona | ♥ 1 | This one was a real treat! Great music, really fun art, a really juicy convo system... the only problem I had is that the transition object doesn't fully leave the screen, which means I can't see all of the playfield. |
| Jan 8 22:15:11 | 12m 35s | Organ Trail | ♥ 2 | The interaction between the characters is fun, but what really makes this game stand out is its educational value. I'm going to send it to my nephew and tell him it counts as doing science homework. :P |
| Jan 8 22:21:50 | 6m 39s | HARZARD OR HARVEST | ♥ 1 | I enjoyed this one! It's reminiscent of early 3D platformers, in a way. The way the player character jiggles as he moves is quite cute, too. |
| Jan 8 22:35:02 | 13m 12s | Demon Pact: Soul Harvest | ♥ 1 | As the others have said, the dash mechanic is very satisfying to use. It's a tough game, though - there's very little leeway allowed between souls. |
| Jan 8 22:44:37 | 9m 35s | Noxious Harvest | ♥ 1 | The modelling here is very impressive! One of the pieces didn't seem to want to be placed, so I didn't get very far into the game, unfortunately. |
| Jan 10 10:43:12 | 35h 58m | Harvester | ♥ 2 | I found myself flailing pretty quickly, but the core mechanic is clever! |
| Jan 10 10:54:25 | 11m 13s | Harvest Looper | ♥ 0 | It's impressive how fully-featured this one is. The mechanics meld together nicely, the music is good, and the art - while blocky - is charming. |
| Jan 10 11:02:20 | 7m 55s | Harvest Battle Adventure | ♥ 0 | The art and the writing here really help to bring it all together. Quite compelling! |
| Jan 10 11:06:55 | 4m 35s | lanterns & mooncakes | ♥ 2 | I like how there's more to the swinging mechanic than at first meets the eye; getting a high jump if you get the lantern at the right angle is a really nice touch. |
| Jan 10 11:29:47 | 22m 52s | The Polar Vet and the Non-Swimming Penguin | ♥ 0 | Quite cute, but I don't see how it connects to the theme, and the sound effects can be quite annoying. |
| Jan 10 15:45:07 | 4h 15m | YO, HARV! | ♥ 1 | I feel like I've Harved it up pretty thoroughly now, so I can say with authority that this is, by far, the Harv-est game in the entire compo. No, but really, that was clever. A _very_ unique take on the theme, and a really charming execution. |
| Jan 11 11:26:09 | 19h 41m | Harvest Superhuman | ♥ 1 | I like the way the UI is presented - very clean. The base idea of selectively breeding humans is a little icky, if I'm honest, and I'm guessing you didn't have time to implement all the mechanics you wanted to. |
| Jan 11 11:45:34 | 19m 25s | Encryption Harvester | ♥ 1 | I'll admit I made heavy use of those cheats, but I wanted to see it through! Nice work. The connection to the theme is a bit tenuous, but the story was compelling and it was well-presented. |
| Jan 11 19:47:16 | 8h 01m | Aorta | ♥ 1 | Quite tense! I didn't play it to the end, but you've certainly captured the vibe of the games you're trying to emulate. |
| Jan 13 20:05:08 | 48h 17m | Jack the Reaper | ♥ 1 | A clever take on the classic Pac-Man formula! It's a little too easy for a classic arcade game, but there's definitely mileage here if you decide to make a post-jam version. |
| Jan 13 22:17:15 | 2h 12m | Tractor Tony's Pro Reaper | ♥ 1 | I almost can't believe you did all of this in forty-eight hours! There's an incredible amount of content here for a compo entry. That being said, I wish there had been an option to turn the screen filter off - I found it to be a bit much. |
