| Jan 11 00:17:36 | MONDO LABS | ♥ 2 | I adore the overall mood of this game, from the animated chomping images to the ambient music. And the gameplay is really interesting too! I like how each level progressively teaches the player more and also gets more difficult - I felt that level 5 was a big jump in difficulty, but made for a fitting end. (I am now cancer man!) It's fun how complex the combo of structures gets & how inevitably chaotic the final 'factory' becomes. The addition of the underpass tunnels is a godsend, though I did run into a few occasions where I wanted to place one but it let out onto an edge, and the conveyors seemingly didn't work if I did that, so I had to readjust. It'd be cool too if the delete button had a hotkey, but that's really minor. I really enjoyed this, it feels super polished! Really well done! | |
| Jan 11 00:30:30 | 12m 54s | Crop Season | ♥ 3 | I love the vibe of this game, it's so relaxed! I often found that I'd throw the veggies too far, so that kinda contributed to the chilled-out vibe too by encouraging slowing down. The art and music is really nice as well. A few of the veggies did get stuck on the sides/top of the screen when I tried to throw them, but it wasn't too big of an issue. Nice work! |
| Jan 11 00:47:50 | 17m 20s | abundance | ♥ 1 | Really cool interpretation of the theme and mood here. I love the way the vines shimmer & react to the player, it's a nice detail that adds a lot. Exploring was fun, I only missed one log. Nice work! |
| Jan 11 00:57:42 | 9m 52s | 7 days to harvest | ♥ 4 | Fun game! It's oddly satisfying to harvest a ton of crops at once. I also like the character designs and music. Very well done! |
| Jan 11 01:03:31 | 5m 49s | Plant Harvester | ♥ 1 | Very fun game! I like all of the enemy variety and the art is all really nice. It's oddly addicting & satisfying to mow over things with the front of the harvester. I felt the screen could have been zoomed out a little more, but you get used to it over the playtime. Nice work! |
| Jan 11 01:09:43 | 6m 12s | Melon Guardian | ♥ 3 | Interesting idea to have the two sides have different movement types. I could see some fun strategies emerging about how to block in the harvester, or how to plan your movement as the harvester not to get stuck. Cool idea. |
| Jan 11 01:15:40 | 5m 57s | Slimevulture | ♥ 1 | I really like the idea of having to build up upgrades before this looming boss spawns- it feels more ominous because of it. The "ouch" SFX is fantastic lol. I totally forgot there was a bow until re-reading the description after playing, so it was a sword only win! Nice! |
| Jan 11 01:20:02 | 4m 22s | Harpvest | ♥ 1 | I love that you went for that pun and commited to it. With that predator on the loose I could never fully deliver Uncle Joe's birthday present though... I am so sorry Uncle Joe. |
| Jan 11 03:57:59 | 2h 37m | Forget-Me-Not: Harvesting Memories | ♥ 2 | I really love the art style here, and the music is very nice too! I think it'd be helpful to have a little more info/feedback on what to do, but the idea is very cool and a unique take on the theme. Nice! |
| Jan 11 04:17:59 | 20m 00s | The Search for The Golden Crown Plant | ♥ 1 | The art and the story behind it is so cute & charming! I like the feedback the player character gives and the ability to cross polinate is really very cool - I got a whole lot of turdmelons on my first attempt, yum! It's simple but fun, nice work you two! |
| Jan 11 04:39:04 | 21m 05s | Money grows on trees | ♥ 1 | I'm rich! Final score was 240,000 using the 'banana's all the way' strat - oddly satisfying and addicting to just keep hitting that upgrade button and spam clicking bananas. For whatever reason the bottom left tree stopped producing anything. But it was simple, good fun. Nice work! |
| Jan 11 04:48:57 | 9m 53s | Organ-ized Crime | ♥ 1 | Fun dialogue system! I really like the puzzle aspect, deducing the perfect target by asking each question is an interesting mechanic. I like how the maps get more complex as well- nice work! |
| Jan 11 04:59:25 | 10m 28s | Scholle | ♥ 0 | Simple but fun game! I like the art and music loop. I feel it works well as an idle game due to the rarity of some resources- nice work! |
| Jan 11 05:14:58 | 15m 33s | The Bountiful | ♥ 1 | Beautiful. Rest in peace Farmer Bill ~~but I also regret nothing, except maybe that I didn't also shovel the guy who sold me that 'good soil', because yeah right 'good soil', and I also regret not selling more corn, but one of those regrets feels a bit exponentially more significant than the other~~ Nice game! |
| Jan 11 05:33:50 | 18m 52s | Fallowtide | ♥ 1 | What a fantastic game! I love the atmosphere of it all, from the swaying of the crops to the music to the dialogue sounds of the Doctor. And the gameplay itself is very satisfying and fun to plan out, while remaining pretty stress free and oddly relaxed considering what you're eventually doing. Really well done! |
| Jan 11 05:45:31 | 11m 41s | Elonkorjuu - Live Harvest | ♥ 2 | Love the way the art is both stylish and informative. And I'm a sucker for those crunched voice lines. I'm sure this would be a really fun one for speedrunners w/ mapping out the levels, the timers on the lights, things you can bypass with dash, enemy routes. Amazing work! |
| Jan 12 02:42:36 | 20h 57m | Xenorp Replacement Surgery | ♥ 0 | Love the fakeout with the instructions button. Was a bit confused at what to do at first- but I think that's the point! Eventually I succeeded- nice small game! |
| Jan 12 02:48:46 | 6m 10s | Haywire | ♥ 1 | I really like the idea here, actually growing larger and more powerful by harvesting enemy part is very cool. I took it upon myself to defeat the large robot at the start with almost no upgrades and somehow managed it. It'd be cool to see the game expanded on as it seems you're planning. Nice work! |
| Jan 12 02:57:42 | 8m 56s | Horn of Abundance | ♥ 1 | Love how chaotic it gets straightaway, so you can quickly get back into the action even after restarting. The upgrades & unique health system are also very fun. Nice work! |
| Jan 12 03:17:20 | 19m 38s | Hi!Waste Tomato | ♥ 0 | Wow, you all really nailed the visual style and theming in my opinion! The puzzles here are pretty clever, and it's honestly crazy how many levels you've packed in for a jam game like this. Well done! |
| Jan 12 03:43:33 | 26m 13s | Blood Harvest | ♥ 2 | Very stylish game, both visually and gameplay-wise! I really like the blood harvesting mechanic, it makes for a really unique take on this jam's theme. Speaking of jam, the music is also immaculately jamming. Really nice work! |
| Jan 12 04:07:16 | 23m 43s | Scream of the Crop | ♥ 2 | Really love the overall art style- the design of the three playable characters & the shopkeeper are so great. I tried 'maining' the Arboarist, I like how you can really feel your character get stronger between runs and that it isn't just a minor change. I did run into an issue where all of my characters died right after entering the second boss room and the game didn't progress back to the shop, so I was stuck on that screen. Overall though I really do like the style of this game + the music tracks are jamming! Great work! |
| Jan 14 01:09:51 | 45h 02m | Death 'n' Veggies | ♥ 2 | Simple but addictive game! I like how the music changes as failure looms closer, and I like the creative takes on the harvestable plants. It's a little awkward trying to pick up and drop things rapidly, but in a way that adds to the chaotic charm. Nice work! |
| Jan 14 01:22:28 | 12m 37s | Otherworld Harvester | ♥ 1 | I love the atmosphere and overall mood here, the graphics and SFX are awesome. I got down to the wire on pretty much each level, I'd be interested in seeing how a pro runs this game. I very much like the ghostly jellyfish imagery of the enemies. I never got much use out of the upgrades, since I barely had enough time to begin with, but other than that it feels like a complete short experience. Well done! |
| Jan 14 01:50:12 | 27m 44s | Tune-uki: Human Harvest | ♥ 2 | The ability to rebind controls is very appreciated! Though I still suck at rhythm games, this was fun! Beautiful skills, tanuki. Fun game! |
| Jan 14 01:56:49 | 6m 37s | Apple Harvester | ♥ 1 | I really like the art here! The gameplay is simple but very addicting. The worm mechanic is a nice touch as well as the text popups that react to what you're doing. No issues here, just simple fun. Nice work! |
| Jan 14 02:09:10 | 12m 21s | Slay the Harvest | ♥ 1 | This is really great! I played my main run without doing any planting and solely with the uzi, and quickly became overpowered- which isn't a bad thing imo, I had a lot of fun with it. I really like the different enemy types and the art is fantastic. My only real issue is that the cursor sometimes got lost in the array of bullets and enemies, but with how quickly everything was exploding, this was never a problem for long. Really nice work! |
