| Jan 13 20:19:55 | Reap What You Sow | ♥ 2 | Always impressive to see a game which has both an AI (which behaves very naturally) and the possibility to play local multiplayer. The gameplay is great, it does not take long to learn the rules but it is still deceptively deep. The clichΓ© "Easy to learn, hard to master" describes it well π The whole game "package" is awesome, everything from the sound to the graphics come together to create a pleasant and cohesive experience. The voice acting was a nice touch, makes it feel more personal even when not playing against another human. But most importantly, it was a lot of fun to play! | |
| Jan 13 21:09:39 | 49m 44s | Verdant | ♥ 2 | Currently my favorite board game is "Spirit Island" (it reminds me a lot of this, defending an island against invaders), so you can imagine how excited I was when I played this game. First of all, great that you have a tutorial in the beginning, it helped with setting up and making your first moves, which made this incredibly complex game feel less intimidating. My favorite part of the game was figuring out the different spell combinations, and there sure were a lot of them. The story created a great feel of importance and gave what you were trying to accomplish a meaning. In the end I managed to win, which felt very rewarding! π a184b80f0dc4df8cfa1269a347d51643.png Overall a fantastic entry π |
| Jan 14 08:49:46 | 11h 40m | Organ-ized Crime | ♥ 2 | So the best defense against being organ harvested is to have a terrible lifestyle, leading to no one wanting your organs... Excellent! π What a great experience that was, I dig the mood and visuals a lot! My favorite thing about this entry is the fact that you actually made me feel a little bit bad, talking to these people and trying to gauge their organ vitality, and then tricking them to follow you under false pretense. Oh and thank you for making failure not take you all the way back to the start. Great entry βοΈ |
| Jan 14 09:17:04 | 27m 18s | I Require Human Parts | ♥ 3 | I was a big fan of your last entry "Cursing Recursion", and I am glad that you continue with your own unique style of games! What makes this game work so very well is the atmosphere you manage to build, not sure how you do it but there is so much tension (though the music and the writing are excellent and no doubt contribute to this). The game had the perfect length where I was at the edge of my seat at all times. Overall another fantastic entry π After commiting horrible murders and self surgeries, I managed to win! a3c78feadec90afaa288aa179cd169bb.png |
| Jan 14 09:31:35 | 14m 31s | Farm to Table: Wizard Edition | ♥ 2 | Ahh the voice acting is amazing! This sure was a challenge, but after a little while I started to get the hang of it. I think stacking up on a lot of seeds early game is a good strategy, and then trying to pick them up as you move past them to brew beer. I like the graphics a lot, they together with the funny puns and voice quips make the game hilarious. This is why Dumbledore had to die in Harry Potter, so that this wouldn't become his fate. |
| Jan 14 12:35:50 | 3h 04m | Heroes, Please | ♥ 2 | The graphics gave me some nostalgia as it reminded me of an old browser game I played when I was young, called "Adventure Quest". It is tough with the limited time, but I respect that you did not give up and actually submitted something, which in my book is a huge win. If you choose to make a post jam version, feel free to @me. Would be fun to see what you had in mind π PS. Some of those bards looked like they lied on their resumΓ©, haha. |
| Jan 14 12:42:06 | 6m 16s | Hackervester | ♥ 0 | I don't think it is malicious, but rather a joke. Regardless I think I won? 58711d8130cceac61753a08f0c384146.png |
| Jan 14 13:55:27 | 1h 13m | Travelling Tea Maker | ♥ 3 | What a pleasant experience, the writing was great and the images where fantastic. This is one of those entries that I will remember after the jam, which is a huge compliment! π I did have the problem with the merchant, but was (thankfully) able to move forward since I read the comments. I would suggest putting info about it in the description π |
| Jan 14 19:54:53 | 5h 59m | Escape From The Ostrobothnia | ♥ 3 | I have played quite a few of your jam entries before, and while all of them have been very cool; this one is my new favorite. Hauska peli! There is so much small details, like the fact that birds come to pick up seeds you did not have capacity of picking up was amazing. π I really found it quite soothing and relaxing, I must have played for around 25-30 minutes. Please tag me when you release the advanced version π |
| Jan 14 20:28:00 | 33m 07s | The Bountiful | ♥ 3 | It's the comment music, boom boom boom, it's the comment music, the muuusic you hear when you read this comment, boom boom boom. Seriously that was the best title music I have heard in a long time, you should get 4th in audio for that (and humor)! No actually, you need to win humor, and overall for that matter because this is one of _the_ best compo entries I have played in my 22 Ludum Dares. I know to expect great games from you but, this takes the price, it's all downhill from here for you! π I don't know how to express how much I enjoyed this, but I laughed out loud when I heard the voice line after stealing on day one "Your not even going to try to grow you own?" π Needless to say I killed a couple of people, stole a bunch of corn and won a ridiculous price. Now we need to get you the most well deserved #1 price as well. π 42890665b5b0a4499a85798025916c78.png |
| Jan 14 21:09:59 | 41m 59s | Cozy Harvest | ♥ 0 | I am getting an error when trying to run the game (Not sure why people have voted on it, unless it broke recently) 12edab8cfc5fd3c42d57a29935cf3332.png @me when you fix it and I will edit this comment with my thoughts and rate the game! |
| Jan 14 21:26:01 | 16m 02s | Barn Busters | ♥ 2 | Well as a (software) engineer I managed to engineer the perfect death trap... er I mean anti escape mechanism for the farm animals. a6d956f639f76dd9a2c78cbc78d9777b.png If you want to see my brilliant strategy, here is a gif: https://gyazo.com/af989e7fca2522040b74fe61d0210500 and this is how it looked after some carnage: https://gyazo.com/04a7e34111e73bf3a8e936aa0a462258 Physics and ragdolls are always fun, and this game is no exception π |
| Jan 16 20:52:43 | 47h 26m | Hex-Yield | ♥ 2 | This was actually exactly what I needed after a long and stressful day at work. What a relaxing experience. A lot of it has to do with the "juicy feel" that the sound & visual effects create. I enjoyed experimenting and mentally mapping them. Very unique take on the theme which was extremely well executed! π |
| Jan 16 20:56:42 | 3m 59s | NobNob's Harvest Heist | ♥ 0 | The characters are super cute and the music really fits the harvest theme - its a nice combo that really sets the mood! The increase in difficulty and pace and the obstacles to avoid makes it fun to run around and try to collect the right produce in time. At one point I didnt have enough baskets and that was pretty stressful! π Overall a great entry π |
| Jan 16 21:14:17 | 17m 35s | Plant Harvester | ♥ 1 | I started playing and felt like the game was pretty cool, but then it just kept getting better and better. I constantly went "HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THAT?". It's difficult to make a top down shooter which does not feel generic, and you really managed to make a unique experience. I absolutely adored the different enemies! My favorite has the be the corn which visually loses the corn after the AOE attack... No the califlower boss... no the little potatoes! My point is that they are all amazing π It took me a couple of tries but I managed to beat the game, at which point I almost got sad because I would have loved if there was an endless score attack mode. f7070c938c60e6bbbf41a9a80827fc6c.png I was sure this was a jam entry, so impressive you managed all of this by yourself, fantastic entry! |
| Jan 16 21:27:48 | 13m 31s | Help! It's Raining Seeds | ♥ 0 | I love that the way you harvest the vegetables is so innovative; I had a lot of fun running around trying to collect as many as possible while avoiding the angry crow! The graphics have a nice retro touch and I like that there are many different vegetables to collect (you have to be quick to harvest the biggest ones!). This is a very nice game that demands you to stay focused! Fantastic job π |
| Jan 16 21:33:54 | 6m 06s | Cardwork Cycle | ♥ 1 | I personally love board games, and this game really ticked a lot of those boxes. It was really nice to be able to sit back, relax and think about what my next move should be. The game has a lot of juice going on as well. For example I really enjoyed the fact that the cards all "handle" really well, making them not feel like static images but actual cards. The sound effects are also very much on point, making it satisfying to interact with the game. Very much appreciate the fact that everything is snappy, all animations are quick and the turns that were obvious could be done in a matter of seconds. Great choice to allow the player to select gold instead of a card, made it so that I felt like I was rewarded even when drawing no cards that were of interest. And that allowed you to have another way to progress apart from the deck building, the items from the shop, which was a neat feature. I haven't seen any other game which reminds me of this, and the farming really was the core of the game, not something that was shoehorned in to meet the theme. Overall I have nothing but praise to give, excellent job π |
| Jan 25 17:42:15 | 212h 08m | Harvest Heist | ♥ 3 | What a glorious entry! the animations are fantastic, the voice acting is phenomenal, the entire premise is so silly that it becomes a master piece. I always have high expectations playing your games, but this time you have out done yourself. This may very well be my favorite Sheepolution entry (and for sure the best Jam entry I have tried this LD), and that is saying a lot. #SheepMagic |
| Jan 25 18:00:09 | 17m 54s | Public service announcement | ♥ 1 | I did not even trust the first time it looped until it had been going for a bit π How hilarious if you had an actual game trigger at that point haha Well this certainly was an experience, and I am glad you participated instead of skipping it. One of the best parts of LD is seeing how you manage to create something cool and unexpected using particles, and this time was no exception. I spent most of the time "Playing", watching the crop particle effect. Glorious! π |
| Jan 28 20:51:29 | 74h 51m | Carrot Conundrum | ♥ 0 | Congratulations on #1 innovation! π π |
