Jan 13 20:28:01		No Harvest	♥ 0	Really cool idea for a push-your-luck style cardgame. I found the text a bit hard to read and the space on the cards seems a bit wasted with the repeated text. ALso would ahve loved to see the different stats actually mattering and not just having one number. Also would be great to not be completely kicked out of the game for failing once. I had a game where I put 14 in round 4 and the range was 0-14 and I got knocked out by a 14. Felt a bit unfair at that point. Maybe some sort of HP would be nice so that you have a better feeling for how much you can risk.
Jan 13 20:38:51	10m 50s	Metafarm	♥ 1	Cool that you used the jam to try out some new tech! I really like the mood of DM Dungeon but it was a bit short and could have used some more gameplay than just random effects. Like Farm and Data Leak didn't seem to really work unfortunately :/ In Like Farm I could type stuff but nothing happened and in Data Leak I could move around but again nothing happened.
Jan 13 20:49:17	10m 26s	That Wasn't Wheat...	♥ 2	Great style! The game felt like you really wanted the "Limited visibility" theme to happen :D The rock was a bit unforgiving but I enjoyed "accidentally" harvesting other things. But one time a cow got revenge and trapped me in a corner.
Jan 13 21:04:55	15m 38s	Harvest Heist	♥ 1	Really engaging core mechanic for such a simple game! The game just needs a banger soundtrack and maybe some offscreen indications of where everything is to feel less random.
Jan 13 21:53:46	48m 51s	Underworld Management	♥ 1	Very impressive amount of content for a jam game! The game was a bit on the easy side. I just built a brimstone wall around the core and no enemy was any danger anymore. It took me a while to figure out that I could assign different jobs. But then I had basically unlimited resources and continues just building out my city in peace :D
Jan 13 22:08:18	14m 32s	Don't Stop The Beet	♥ 1	Very unique take on the rhythm game genre and nicely fit to the theme! Unfortunately I'm really bad at this and it was very difficult for me to judge why I'm off on certain "beets". Btw great punny name :)
Jan 13 22:39:19	31m 01s	Harvest Earth	♥ 1	Really awesome tutorial and a nice touch that you can rearrange everything. A bit difficult to get started as you don't have many choices early on.
Jan 14 13:07:35	14h 28m	Corpse Circle	♥ 1	Incredible graphics and a fantastic soundtrack! Took me a few tries to understand the mechanics fully. Could be helpful to have some more details in the game description. But once I understood the game it was a lot of fun and made it into heaven. Really liked the evil look of the harvester!
Jan 14 13:21:05	13m 30s	KRÉ Farm Prototype	♥ 1	Had a lot of fun figuring out how everything works and how much everything costs. I stopped once I had 5650 money :D Great use of state machines!
Jan 14 13:49:30	28m 25s	Soil and Toil	♥ 1	Very charming and addictive! I stopped once I reached 106 food :) Was quite tricky getting started but once you have enough food going it becomes quite relaxing.
Jan 14 14:15:34	26m 04s	Breaking Catnip	♥ 1	What an engaging backstory and simply beautiful graphics. Unfortunately the dialog systems breaks regularly. But since the time keeps running I just kep hammering the space bar anyways :D The characters are super charming but still get repetitive. Would have loved to see some deeper gameplay.
Jan 14 14:58:07	42m 33s	Drake's Fortune	♥ 2	Incredible! Didn't expect to play angrybirds but with a freaking dragon this jam! I enjoyed flying over the cities and laying waste to everything and everyone. Very simple but effective gampelay loop. Would have loved to have some sort of final boss to prepare for and defeat. After destroying a max level city with their fire arrow archers it kinda fizzled out a bit.
Jan 14 15:12:50	14m 43s	CrapCirclz	♥ 2	That was incredibly fun. Very nice looking game and love the punny names :)
Jan 14 15:40:15	27m 25s	Boar'd'Hell	♥ 1	Cool idea to control two vehicles at the same time! It was a bit too much for my brain but the visuals and sounds were so much fun that I could deal with it ^^
Jan 14 15:45:33	5m 18s	Crop Circle	♥ 0	Very polished game! Super consistent art style thorugh the entire game. The gameplay felt a bit hectic and I didn't feel as much in control as I would have liked and I couldn't really make many decision. But when I got some good bounces of it was a super enjoyable experience.
Jan 14 15:54:24	8m 51s	Grow Golf	♥ 1	Wonderful take on the theme! I love golf games and this one is a really unique spin on the genre. Took me a few tries to get going but then it was amazing to just lob around my army of golfballs.
Jan 14 16:08:37	14m 13s	Necrotic Harvest	♥ 1	Interesting concept and nice take on the theme. The controls were sometimes a bit fiddly. Would be great if the symbols were always shown so I don't have to mouse over them all the time.
Jan 14 16:47:15	38m 38s	celestial garden	♥ 1	celestial_garden.png I think I may have overdone it a little :D Once I figured out that the asteroids collide with the suns I knew what I had to do. And after my people were safe from outside dangers (but also trapped and doomed to never explore the rest of the universe) I started cramming all their planets into a single spot. That way I was able to water a lot of planets all at once. That was really fun!
Jan 14 16:58:56	11m 41s	Harvest "Harvest Simulator" Simulator	♥ 1	Great little minigame! The mouse position seems to be scaled incorrectly in the webversion. But once I adjsuted to that it was very enjoyable.
Jan 14 17:11:04	12m 08s	The Dealer	♥ 1	Phew that got quite hectic. I really like the atmosphere. It reminds me a bit of papers please.
Jan 14 17:30:40	19m 36s	Poo Farmer	♥ 2	I think this was the first time where I was happy about a unicorn pooping in front of my house :D The turd launcher felt a little underpowered but the scatling gun was just pure unadulterated fun. Sometimes it was a bit frustrating to have to find the merchant. I think I would like him to either be stationary or to have some sort of map. Because I always felt punished when I went to far away from my home instead of just camping it. Overall a very pootastic game!
Jan 14 23:24:43	5h 54m	Harvesters From Outer Space	♥ 1	Fun and short game! Would have loved some way to fight back against those pesky tanks.
Jan 14 23:27:03	2m 20s	Harvest	♥ 1	Sadly not much of a game here. But good start and solid concept. Not very far from having a nice simple gameplay loop. Keep it up!
Jan 14 23:43:10	16m 07s	The PIT	♥ 1	Very cool spin on inventory tetris :D I especially like the selective breeding aspect as that allows you to plan a bit more longterm and makes you think which ones to plant. I unfortunately got the keys confused quite a lot. (Maybe because the left (A) key was listed below the right (S) key and my brain was always swapping them. Which in the end led to me picking up some plant which didn't fit into the grid anymore.
Jan 15 00:08:03	24m 53s	Folk Farm	♥ 2	Brilliant and bizarre story! Also amazing artwork in the cutscenes. I really like the idea oif harvesting my own ammo! Unfortunately there wasn't much planning involved in the crops I planted as I just planted every seed that I could get my hands on. Also the final fight could have been a bit longer or maybe have some intermediate fights every night. I had way to much ammo left over and didn't even get to use my cool golden banana. But since the story is setup perfectly for a sequel, maybe there's hope ;)
