| Jan 9 21:58:41 | Catchy | ♥ 1 | Thanks for playing our game, and yes we do have similar concepts! I really like the way the whole game looks like an old map, and the realistic sailing mechanics. I did feel the controls got a bit overwhelming, particularly the boat rotation vs sail rotation. Also I wish there was a quick reel in button for when I miss aiming at a fish. Overall incredible work for a compo! | |
| Jan 10 04:16:28 | 6h 17m | Harvest Mouse: Veggie Survivor | ♥ 3 | That mouse farmer is working overtime! Love the cute pixel art, the veggies have so much personality! Would love to see some feedback for when the veggies get shot and when they spawn. Nice work! |
| Jan 11 06:09:14 | 25h 52m | Pixel Art'Vester | ♥ 3 | Wow, I really loved this concept, it's really original and makes the pixel artist in me very happy. It was pretty easy at first but as I got closer to completion there was less and less space to plant and harvest the colors I needed (I miscounted lol) and that made it a different type of strategy! frog.png Looked cool while harvesting too Only tiny nitpick was that the tertiary colors were kinda hard to see on the mini preview image (sky blue vs true blue, light green vs true green) and that some of the info is cut off on the left side of my screen (mac browser fullscreen). |
| Jan 11 06:22:21 | 13m 07s | No Farm, No Fowl | ♥ 1 | I had so much fun with this one! Loved all the upgrades, and the extra challenge of having to not only protect your mound to collect the pumpkins, but also ensure you kill the chickens closer to the center of the stage to give it the highest chance of survival. I was so delighted to see the giant chickens when they ate my pumpkins! Dash is super good for getting rid of them. Great work! (My high score is 145) |
| Jan 11 06:29:27 | 7m 06s | Word Harvest | ♥ 1 | Really fun and unique take on the theme, making a typing game. The difficulty really jumps up at level 5, I thought that hitting an obstacle would give stop the tractor for a bit, allowing me to clear some of the next obstacles instead of hitting 3 in a row. Overall I had fun with it, and the graphics are detailed and clean. |
| Jan 11 06:50:57 | 21m 30s | Harvest Survivor | ♥ 3 | Loved the Vampire Survivor inspiration with a farming twist! The vegetable sprites are amazing and the soundtrack captures the stress of having a horde of sentient vegetables chasing after you. Also fun upgrades to play around with. Nice job! I survived for 8 mins both times I played 😅. Need to get better! |
| Jan 11 07:45:26 | 54m 29s | Water Tower | ♥ 3 | Cute and fun idea! The randomization granted me with a single shot that fulfilled both goals at once in one of the earlier levels. Lost on day 6 where there were over 20 fruits and I couldn't for the life of me tell which was the smallest, even when trying to take into consideration distance and relative scale it felt like I had to randomly guess. But ultimately a unique take on the theme with juicy sniping mechanics! |
| Jan 11 07:49:38 | 4m 12s | Harvest "Harvest Simulator" Simulator | ♥ 2 | Funny concept, those poor harvest simulator developers! I had an issue where the hand would get caught in the bottom right corner and be really difficult to get out. I think with a bit of tweaking of the mechanics and physics it would be pretty fun |
| Jan 11 10:02:42 | 2h 13m | Click Click Farm | ♥ 3 | I LITERALLY COULD NOT STOP PLAYING TOMATO.png |
| Jan 12 04:13:19 | 18h 10m | The Cactilogue | ♥ 1 | This game is so incredibly cute and relaxing! The chill gameplay, color scheme, sfx, and particles all work well together. I especially love all the positive messages everywhere! I do agree that the star alignment skill checks are pretty difficult but it didn't bother me since I get so many flowers and chances to play again. One thing I missed is how to replace existing cacti? I accidentally planted duplicates of some species and want to complete the cactilogue! cuteCacti.png |
| Jan 13 03:15:41 | 23h 02m | Homunculus | ♥ 2 | Gorgeous and solid entry. Everything worked together so well to provide us with a vertical slice of gameplay that perfectly encapsulates the feel of a classic point-and-click adventure. The pixel art is fantastic, the music and story all help to set the mood.. even the voice effects are a nice touch! I played through again to try to make the other potions, would have been so cool to have multiple endings, but it's already so well done regardless. |
| Jan 13 03:48:55 | 33m 14s | Journey of the flowers | ♥ 3 | Gorgeous game, took me a while to understand the mechanics but once I did I was really drawn into the puzzle solving. The visuals, animations, and sound design are lovely. Still haven't figured out how to complete all of the mandelas, I think there can be better indication as to what points the stage "cuts apart" and exactly how many seeds I have so I can properly plan my path. I'll keep playing to try to win! Great work! |
| Jan 13 03:59:10 | 10m 15s | Slim Pickings | ♥ 2 | Cute and fast-paced! Love the slime character and its deformations around the terrain. The arcade gameplay makes it for great replayability. Nice work! |
| Jan 13 04:09:52 | 10m 42s | 4 Harvest Bags | ♥ 1 | Surprisingly addicting for such a simple mechanic! Very clear and easy to understand, felt pretty relaxing especially knowing there's no penalty for messing up. Good work! Only issue I found was that (on Mac at least) the default browser scale made it so the "level 1" graphic was overlapping with the tomato bag and I couldn't grab it at all. Easily fixed by rescaling the browser but thought I'd point it out! 4bags.png |
| Jan 13 04:24:40 | 14m 48s | Across the River Styx | ♥ 1 | So cute! I pleased 26 souls and got employee of the month! Loved the graphics and "yayy" sound effects, the gameplay got a bit hectic near the end but I appreciated that it ramped up in difficulty. |
| Jan 13 04:40:19 | 15m 39s | Bubble Rancher | ♥ 1 | Fun and goofy puzzle mechanic that had me really invested until "A Bubble Test". I wish there was a way to freeze the pusher so it didn't slowly drift away from where I left it as I move around, since there was still a good amount of difficulty moving the bubbles out of the starting rooms without the angled corners to bounce them out of. Still, I had a lot of fun up to that point, did not expect a bubble wrangler to come out of the "Harvest" prompt! |
| Jan 13 04:56:18 | 15m 59s | Operation Carrotfield | ♥ 1 | I liked this gameplay mechanic a lot! Feels fresh and innovative and could see myself playing this for a long time. Unfortunately I lost a lot of rabbits and potential carrots toward the early levels when I didn't know the mechanics, and my perfectionism wants to start over and do a better job lol. Is there and end or does the game continue endlessly? |
| Jan 13 05:14:40 | 18m 22s | World's Best Soul Harvester | ♥ 1 | Cute little puzzle-platformer with great pixel art and funny quips from the bag man. I found some of the navigation to be very trial-and-error, where sometimes if fall off a ledge I die instantly, and other times it's the correct path. But with the generous respawn points there was very little risk! Really nice work, best puzzle-platformer I've played in this jam so far! |
| Jan 13 05:25:54 | 11m 14s | Hare Runner | ♥ 4 | The sheer amount of polish here is incredible! I gasped when I heard the voice acting... seriously how many LD games put in fully voice acted lines?! Love the cover image, love the UI, love the soundtrack, and love the bullet hell gameplay. Seriously incredible work. Here's my score on my first run! bunnyhell.png |
| Jan 13 05:58:36 | 32m 42s | What must be done | ♥ 3 | Addicting gameplay loop, I had to keep playing to do what must be done. I actually didn't realize the Do What Must Be Done button has a cost associated with it and ended up using my resources to upgrade everything to Lv 9 and had a blast destroying everything! Slime gun + death by 1000 cuts was SOOOO satisfying! And omg Frankie 🥹 |
| Jan 13 06:06:51 | 8m 15s | Crop Rotation | ♥ 1 | Very unique game idea, there was a lot of randomness and probability involved, but just enough skill needed to balance crop value, rent, etc. Really good work for a compo! |
| Jan 13 06:14:36 | 7m 45s | Harvest Simulator | ♥ 1 | Ok I need to learn some harvesting strategies because the highest I could reach was 8000... Love the highscores system, even though the game is really simple and straightforward I still had an incentive to keep playing :D |
| Jan 13 06:23:12 | 8m 36s | Harkonnen Daily | ♥ 3 | This is hilarious! I love the screams of the people as I drop them to their doom. The gameplay is really straightforward and the graphics are clean and crisp. Overall nice work! |
| Jan 13 06:29:34 | 6m 22s | Bewitched Potatoes | ♥ 3 | Love the music and sound effects! The art is stylish and quirky. The image of an elderly witch wielding a shotgun fighting zombie potatoes is absolutely hilarious. Superb work! |
| Jan 16 21:31:14 | 87h 01m | Mineral Maniac | ♥ 3 | Yes! A Binding of Isaac-like! Super fun gameplay and love the addition of the mining minigame as your own twist on the genre. The art is very clean and consistent and the audio was perfect for the atmosphere. Really great work! |
| Jan 17 06:18:17 | 8h 47m | Barvest: The Iconic Bug Harvest of 2005 | ♥ 2 | Absoltutely phenomenal game, loved every element from the retro style bug models to the clever level designs. The soundtrack was great too! Definitely deserves a top spot! It even innovated on the platforming genre with the unique web capturing mechanic. My only complaint is that I encountered a bug (heh) near the end of the game where it crashed and froze T_T bugbug.png |
| Jan 19 00:07:39 | 41h 49m | Lavender Fields Forever | ♥ 2 | Oh hey it's you guys again! I am in love with this entry, such a cute (and ridiculous) concept, and I haven't seen anyone do lavender harvesting yet! I found the game loop to be very engaging, especially for a jam game. Including automation and gnome warfare added so much to the gameplay. I did find the farming/building UI swapping to be very confusing at first but eventually got the hang of it. Also, after I got around 100 or so lavender my game started stuttering and when the gnomes came out it froze altogether :(. Bummer because I really wanted to see what happens when I Gnomicide! |
