| Jan 10 08:07:41 | Farm to Table: Wizard Edition | ♥ 1 | First of all: Rice should never ever be used in beer. But that's just the German in me speaking. For the game itself, I have to agree with @plusminus, that the game is very fast at the beginning. I had 3 or 4 customers leave before I had even harvested the first crops. On the second run I was better, but I still think it should be slower/easier at the beginning and then pick up speed. For the controlls, I am still not sure if I like it. They seems pretty simple and after some time I got the hang of it, but especially at the start I got confused a lot when to press left or right mouse button. I have no solution on how to do it better, but selecting a seed or a crop from the bottom menu before placing it felt also strange to me. But besides that I really enjoyed the game. The art is great and the voiced lines are funny and I always love voiced characters in jam games. Makes it seems such more polished. | |
| Jan 10 08:15:11 | 7m 30s | Wurmi | ♥ 1 | Cool little game. The art and sounds are so cute. And the puzzles have a nice progression in difficulty. The last level took me a couple attempts. Would love to see more levels at some point. Also I am not usre if that would make the game better, but sometimes I felt like I cheated by running in circles until I could pass an enemy. Maybe a move limit would force the player to find a good solution instead of trying until you reach the goal. |
| Jan 10 08:57:52 | 42m 41s | The PIT | ♥ 1 | Great concept. I have to take a look on tghe plant growth in the code. That sounds interessting. For the puzzle itself I am not sure if it works out for me. It seems like at some point most of the plants are grown really big and I cannot place them anymore. And I can't grow smaller plants because I cannot get rid of the large ones. So I try to fill fields with seeds to get more space. But once you have 2 or 3 big plants in the inventory it is tedious as you can also only carry 2 or 3 seeds at a time. Maybe I'll have to give it another go after some more coffee. Also hate is a strong word, but I don't like that I have to switch my hand between the mouse and the arrow keys. I would very much prefer to control the player with one hand (A/D to walk and W/S for plant/seed or somethng like that) and have the other hand just for the mouse. But maybe that's just my preference |
| Jan 10 09:13:41 | 15m 49s | Void Reader - A desktop multiplayer game. | ♥ 1 | I planted and harvested the 1 plant I have from the start. But the when I try to enter the protal nothing happends. I have a Server and a Client Panel on the top left, but besides showing differnt colors when I click on them, nothing happens. Any idea what I'm doing wrong, is is there a bug in the game/server? |
| Jan 10 10:32:28 | 1h 18m | Danger in the Potager | ♥ 2 | Oh no it's a boss battle! Cool game with a good increase in difficulty. The tomato at the end was really hard, but that made it exactly the right amount of challenging. And the game is short enough to try multiple times |
| Jan 10 11:21:55 | 49m 27s | Lavender Fields Forever | ♥ 2 | There went my lunch break... Planned on playing 3-4 games. Not It was just one. But I had too much fun to stop. I agree with the comment, that there is no need to explore or anything. I never left the view of my tower, but I also didn't think that that was a bad thing. I also encountered the pathfinding issue once I enclosed myself in walls. I expected something bad to happen. Maybe I expected something like Colony Survival that penalized you, when you surround yourself with wall, or maybe even just prevent you from building the last wall. I'm not saying that it should, and for a jam game I don't even expect soemthing to prevent that. Just pointing out, that the issue exists. Also I sometimes had problems with the UI being stuck in the build menu or wouldn't let me select a building to buy something. But changing browser tabs solved that most of the time. |
| Jan 10 17:59:06 | 6h 37m | CowMower 2000 | ♥ 1 | A solid entry for a first solo jam game. The graphics look good and even when the control feels a bit like driving a brick, I did have fun running over those damn cows :) |
| Jan 10 18:25:09 | 26m 03s | The grand harvest championship (I must win) | ♥ 1 | Super simple game. Very easy and no challenge at all.... and I lost :D My first impression was indeed, that the game looks great, but the gameplan is rather simple. But with more and more card it turned out to be a great stategy game. I'd also love to see a player v player version of that after the game. I can imagine playing that with my with on the bus or whenever we got 5 minute to fill. |
| Jan 10 18:45:50 | 20m 41s | Don't let them bug you | ♥ 2 | Haha, I was already typing, that I enjoyed the game, but it felt a bit slow, as you couldn't do much. One more seed per wave was a bit too few to have fun over 10 waves. But then I saw a comment that you can harvest plants to plant more. So I had to fire up the game again and you know, it was much more involved than before. It also addd a star to the theme rating. Now I am really happy with the game. |
| Jan 10 19:11:40 | 25m 50s | Chess The Second | ♥ 1 | Very chaotic version of chess as you pointed out. But I love it. It is way less strategic, but still a great battle :) Sometimes it was unclear to me when my pieces could move where and why not. Not from the visual part. I could see where it can move. I just didn't understand why it couldn't move that 1 field further... But I guess with some time or reading I would have understood. But besides some quality of life features I think there is nothing much that could make the game better |
| Jan 10 19:23:36 | 11m 56s | BUGGED | ♥ 1 | Cool game. extending your platform with special powers works great. But the constant firing from the ants is very stressfull (in a positiveway). Only criticism is that sometime sthe shooting didn't work for me |
| Jan 10 19:27:28 | 3m 52s | Afterlife Assistance Agency | ♥ 2 | Game started pretty simple. But in the end it was just chaos. I loved it. At the start I was planning on commenting, that the people were too easy to distinguishe, but after the 10th soul I don't think that anymore :D |
| Jan 10 19:35:08 | 7m 40s | Techno Plants | ♥ 3 | I don't really like rhythm games, because I'm just not good at them. I wasn't good at this game either, but I still couldn't stop trying and seeing how far I can get. The beat is just mesmerizing :) |
| Jan 10 19:44:33 | 9m 25s | Cosmic Sweep | ♥ 3 | As everyone else I loved the art style. It looks amazing. For the gemaplay I also think it was a bit strange. Pretty early all debris was laying on the big planet and I just moved 5 pixel back and forth. Not sure if that was intended or what I shoudl doUnbenannt.PNG |
| Jan 11 08:19:14 | 12h 34m | 🥕 Grow a Carrot! 🥕 | ♥ 1 | I wanted to make the same joke, that I'll come back to rate once I've completed the game. But since that has already been done I rated now instead. Obviously since I'm not a cheater I haven't seen the whole game, but the concept is just amazing. I wish I could come up with stuff like this! |
| Jan 11 14:58:17 | 6h 39m | Combine Harv-racer | ♥ 1 | wow. I'm glad so many people found your game and gave you feedback. This game absolutely deserves to be played. My feedback also falls in the line of the feedback before me. A better/forward looking camera would make it easier, since sometimes on full speed I feel it was impossible to avoid the cows once I saw them. Also I'd suggest to make the track (border) better visible. Sometimes I couldn't see where the actual track was going between all that corn. It gets better in the 2nd round, but maybe just make the track border thicker. Maybe even use those red and white racing stripes in the corners? Unless that was intentional and you wanted it to feel more like you're racing on an actual field. |
| Jan 11 15:11:36 | 13m 19s | Harvest Harvest Crush | ♥ 1 | Cool twist on tetris. Or is it it's own game. Not sure, but I still could sink a lot of time into it. Maybe at some point I can figure out how to play with the plants in mind. Right now I just try to match 4 or more blocks. wherever they may be and whatever they might do. It is just the right amount of stressfull enough so that I have no capacity left to figure out in which colum I should place the water blocks best. Just "next to the other blocks there". |
| Jan 11 15:16:53 | 5m 17s | Crop Chaos | ♥ 2 | <Insert exact copy of @detectivelosos's comment here/> |
| Jan 11 17:21:10 | 2h 04m | Seed of hate | ♥ 0 | The game truely has potential. It does have a few bugs and some that can end a run which is annoying. And sometimes the render oder of the cards get confused. But if you'd take the time to figure them out and maybe update some of the graphics this can be a great game. My last try was ended by this bug: Unbenannt.PNG That happend right after I got the cards reshuffled |
| Jan 11 17:30:40 | 9m 30s | Crops on fire | ♥ 1 | Cool game. The controls feel just right and it looks amazing. After 86% percent on hard, I guess now I still have to get a decent score in Hell :D And btw: I first thought I was clever and just ran through the fire, only to figure out on the 3rd fire that there is actual damage :D Otherwise I would have had at least one point to criticize |
| Jan 11 19:15:18 | 1h 44m | The Feudal in the Rye | ♥ 3 | Great addiction game. Gona save it and play it again after I'm done rating other games. I just need to get to the point I'm so overpowered that I win :D Edit: haha. Completely forgot to rate it as I enjoyed it so much. Will do that now |
| Jan 12 17:16:38 | 22h 01m | Dice Wheat Me | ♥ 2 | Cool game. If I understand correctly and teh art is AI generated that it is a great job finding the right pieces for this game. The gameplay is fun, but after some time it feels there is nothing much to do, or did I miss something? I mean, farming wheat and selling it to improve your production is good enough for itself. But I felt a small lack of decisions to be made. |
| Jan 12 17:39:23 | 22m 45s | CROP NINJA | ♥ 1 | Wow. It took me some time to get used to it. But I think part of it was getting to know what the power ups do. Once I got the hang of it I still died a lot, but I couldn't stop before finishing it. It was a real crush to finish in the 3 digits... now it is: Unbenannt.PNG I'm not sure what you can improve. The levels are just the right amount of challenging and the controls felt really good. Only thing I could point out is that I quirte often used both power ups at the same time even if I tried to just press the button once. Not sure if that was intentional, but it felt like keeping the button pressed a bit too long used both. Maybe I would prefer to press the button twice to use both. But obviously I haven't tried how that feels for gameplay and I don't know your idea behin it. |
| Jan 15 07:27:04 | 61h 47m | Bas | ♥ 1 | Cool game. The mechanics make for some interessting puzzles. I would have loved to see more puzzle and more plants. But for a game jam the amount of content is great. And the growing animations look great! And the last level can be solved with 1 mushroom seed left :) |
| Jan 15 07:41:29 | 14m 25s | Rough Harvest | ♥ 2 | Yay! I'm amazing! Just like this game. It turned out rather stressfull, as I always had the screen almost full with weeds and hand to rund in circles trying to get to a planting spot before the timer went down. Maybe I should have used more of the meal, but I only ever made the healing (casserole was it?). But besides the hustle I really enjoxed the game! Also the animations looked really well made. |
| Jan 18 06:53:30 | 71h 12m | The Ballad of Eric Hernandez, Cattle Rancher | ♥ 1 | Since the MoMA seems to not acknowledge this masterpiece, maybe you should consider going international: I'm sure the Louvre in Paris is more open minded for american art. They are currently reviewing my profile picture. |
| Jan 19 11:19:17 | 28h 25m | Carrot Conundrum | ♥ 1 | Wow. I found this game by accident in one of those "my favorite jam games so far" posts. And I am so happy I did find this gem. Like every jam puzzle game I would love to see more levels, but 14 is also a lot for a jam. And they have a really nice progression. Although in the later levels I wasn't sure if I found the correct/best solution or just hopped around until I somehow made it to all carrots :D |
