| Jan 11 14:02:07 | Space Harvest Wreckage - Extreme 2001 | ♥ 3 | Like others have said, the game and atmosphere is quite good, and the controls are doing the game a disservice. I think that tank controls can be fine, but tank controls that control a very heavy feeling physics thing, which also starts out as inverted (moving from top to down) making up -> down, down-> up, left -> right and right -> left is quite weird. A great idea the game had was the inclusion of a continue button next to the try again button. That was very smart, especially for jam games that aren't always balanced. I might steal that idea for the future :) | |
| Jan 11 15:15:45 | 1h 13m | The Heat | ♥ 1 | I really liked the presentation of this game, it had a good sense of style. there was also something very atmospheric and doomy about seeing the fires in the sky while doing farming stuff. The thing that i didn't quite understand what the mechanics other than the sickle was for. Why would you destroy crops, and why would you try to put out the fire as the fire grows faster than you could possibly put it out? I liked it because of the mood :) |
| Jan 12 11:34:52 | 20h 19m | Untitled Squirrel Game | ♥ 1 | Very nice graphics and vibe in general. The camera needs a bit of work, either angled a bit more so that it looks more down, or just movable by the player. I would also like to have seen something extra gameplay wise to spice it up a bit more. Maybe you need to avoid crows by hiding in the grass or something. Well done :) |
| Jan 12 11:42:39 | 7m 47s | Soul Garden | ♥ 1 | Great art, good concept, just needs some more design work and a bit of polish (like all our games :D). It would be nice to be able to hold WASD to move. I enjoyed that people come out of the hospital and slowly grow and go old over time, but as far as i could tell this wasn't used in any gameplay systems, and i would have liked to see what interesting things you could have done with that. Lastly i think the music loop was a bit too short, and really only served to be a bit grating. I think the game would have been better with no music and some sound effects instead. Well done! :) |
| Jan 14 14:32:31 | 50h 49m | Tile King | ♥ 1 | Got to turn 130. One of my favorites so far, i quite enjoyed it. Like others have said the clicking gets a bit spammy when you have to sell 100 of a resource. The instructions were pretty clear, with the exception of road placements (I think you could place the first one wherever you wanted, and then roads after that had to be next to it?). The only thing dragging it down was the music. I think it would be better to have some sound effects for various actions rather than a very bare bones song that you cannot mute. Well done! ⭐️ |
| Jan 27 07:51:13 | 305h 18m | Sandwich Runner | ♥ 1 | It was pretty fun how you slowly realize whats going on with the ingredients you collect. Sadly my first sandwhich collapsed under its own immense weight. Really fun way of making an otherwise normal game into something weird and fun :D |
| Jan 27 08:07:39 | 16m 26s | Harvest Hewn | ♥ 1 | I has some trouble playing this game as it's set to always open on my main monitor, and also open in the same aspect ratio as my 9:16 main monitor, which caused it to look like this: hewn.png, so i had to change my main monitor to a 16:9 one, and then it worked like it was supposed to. Would be nice with an option to resize the window, or that it was locked to the intended aspect ratio. Aaaaanyway. Really fun game though! Quite polished overall, and a fun loop. Good little dialogue and everything. It took me a bit long to get money for the first upgrades in the shop (3 days), but i think i might have been unlucky in what the shops had in store. Also it wasnt quite clear when the veggies could attack. Well done! ⭐️ |
| Jan 27 08:28:53 | 21m 14s | Harvest | ♥ 0 | Great stuff, very addicting! I think probably everyone who plays this will play to the end, because of how chill and satisfying it is. Good to see the extra-category being put to good use as well Well done! 🌟 |
| Jan 27 08:43:33 | 14m 40s | Harvest Slave | ♥ 1 | I was a bit confused as to where to go, i figured it out after a while. It would be nice with with a little message, sound or indication that you did the right thing by going into the silo room. But otherwise i really liked the game. It ran very smooth on my computer and looks great. A bit weird with the controls though, normally with isometric games with direct controls pressing up moves you directly up relative to the camera, and not up relative to global z or whatever. But i sort of got used to it. Very impressive considering it's a roll your own engine. Well done! 🌟 |
