| Jan 9 22:31:06 | Rollin' | ♥ 8 | Amazingly polished game! I really liked exploring the world. Its nicely designed (like you can see what you can do once the powerups are in and then commit to it later) and it looks so goregous. I also feel like perspective from the player hedgehog (who is also super cute <3) being so far down is adding to my curiosity. What I disliked was the pacing, I wanted to explore and go out but was stressed about coming back too late. It took a lot of time until I was able to "see the world". On the other hand that might be okay if you just want to chill playing the game :) | |
| Jan 9 22:51:49 | 20m 43s | Deep Harvest VII | ♥ 2 | The atmosphere is amazing! Never was so happy about fishing some boots out of the ocean floor, but was somehow unable to find other points of interest :( But as it felt so amazing navigating the device that was not mutch of a big deal. Loved it :) |
| Jan 9 23:00:13 | 8m 24s | DaLetterFarm(Word-game) | ♥ 1 | Very creative idea! It also fits perfectly to the theme. I struggled to put words together that I planned out because the day/night mechanism was in the way, but I somehow always found words in the seeds I planted! This is what was the most fun for me (finding the words) rather than planing out. The screen gets a little dark at night. Apart from that I loved it! Good work! |
| Jan 9 23:20:00 | 19m 47s | Harvest Puzzle Box | ♥ 2 | Well made! It feels very rewarding when you solve a puzzle :) |
| Jan 9 23:40:05 | 20m 05s | Harvestigator: An IRS Tax Auditing Game | ♥ 1 | Tried to run the game (embedded) in firefox and edge but both were not loading. Finally got it running on your page (https://crowseeds.com/harvest/). I had so many laughs while playing the game. Absolutely amazing! Loved the voice acting, writing, polish, everything! Awesome! |
| Jan 9 23:54:39 | 14m 34s | Protect the Garden | ♥ 3 | It took me a while to understand that you make money from harvesting your towers instead of killing the enemies, but once I had it I was able to make some progress (it also perfectly fits the theme ;D). It is really punishing though. I had to figure things out by trial and error as it was unclear to me what the different "towers" would do (like the paprika having a waveclear pattern). But I really like your take on the tower defense as it forces you to think differently. Nice job! |
| Jan 10 00:07:39 | 13m 00s | Organigrow | ♥ 5 | Amazing entry in the solo category! For me the controlls felt very nice once I've read up on all the buttons. I felt like the Defib is a bit pointless because once its time to plant there is SO much growing (while I was planting the first seeds were already fully grown). But maybe thats just the case with my strategy. Loved it! |
| Jan 10 09:54:29 | 9h 46m | Plant Donor | ♥ 1 | Solid little game! I really got into optimizing my farm and making more and more money. I wished for some quality of life improvements though, like: - planting a seed should not take it out of your hand so that you can fast plant a bunch of them on the field - having the inventory open when switching between black market and the farm (e.g. you could have permanent buttons underneath the inventory). And finally: scarecrow army for the win! Screenshot 2023-01-10 105124.png |
| Jan 10 10:06:46 | 12m 17s | Harvest Er | ♥ 0 | The game is very neat for what it wants to do! Harvesting the crystals(?) feels nice (the chip-chip-chip sound has just the right timing, especially on max blade quality 👌 ). The turning speed couldve been just a little faster in my opinion :) |
| Jan 10 13:30:04 | 3h 23m | Cave Flowers | ♥ 1 | The jumping is very smooth and rewarding once you figure it out! The levels are well designed but I wished for some checkpoints so I dont have to do everything all over again. Solid work! |
| Jan 10 13:48:34 | 18m 30s | Flee the Farmland | ♥ 4 | I love your game! Somehow the mice level never finished for me but the other levels worked perfectly fine. My favourite was the frog as it had the most precise movement but due to the low speed you had to plan out alot. This is how I did: Screenshot 2023-01-10 144751.png |
| Jan 10 15:06:29 | 1h 17m | They Hide in the Fields | ♥ 2 | The artstyle is amazing! I like that in order to find your target you have to take a risk. Very well made, awesome! |
| Jan 10 15:21:05 | 14m 36s | Apple Harvester | ♥ 1 | I saw a streamer playing your game and thought I can do better - apparently not ;D Simple but very well made and super cute, amazing work! Screenshot 2023-01-10 161644.png |
| Jan 10 15:59:05 | 38m 00s | Organic Mouse | ♥ 3 | Really cute art and I love the idea of the game expanding on certain stories depending on what you pick up. The controls feel a little off though. Well done! |
| Jan 10 17:05:41 | 1h 06m | Avian Reaper | ♥ 3 | I really like your game and absolutely adore the artstyle! Any chance you have been playing Pentiment lately? :D |
| Jan 10 17:18:37 | 12m 56s | Pineapple Surf | ♥ 1 | Simple but funny little game! It was kinda hard though to see where the pineapple seeds go when you shoot as they are so tiny and green on green. But in the end that was not a big deal. I especially liked how the pinapples popped out when they were ready to harvest. Absolutely satisfying :) |
| Jan 10 18:01:08 | 42m 31s | Blood Harvest | ♥ 2 | Amazing job! This feels like a highly polished game even though it was made in such a short time. The only thing I noticed is that for larger levels the framerate dropped a bit, but not so much that it was bad. The controls feel very satisfying and are super precise which I like. I am a little conflicted on the movement speed though. I sometimes ran into enemies when going too fast (you can move an entire screen in like a split second at full speed). Maybe there should be an option to go slower to better "sneak" into the next area? Overall a very nice entry to this jam and very much fun to play! |
| Jan 20 15:39:53 | 237h 38m | The Dealer | ♥ 1 | I think @pkenney has said it all, impressive entry overall! I personally think it could've started out even a little slower so that I have a chance to get a feeling of all the systems in place in the first run. But the game really encourages to take a second attempt and optimize anyway, so thats not a big deal :) |
| Jan 20 16:10:21 | 30m 28s | Shield Bash | ♥ 1 | Hey, came here to beat "The Mage", and I can proudly say: I DID IT :) Screenshot 2023-01-20 170338.jpg I think that your game is amazingly polished gameplay wise. Sure, the visuals are basic, but it feels very precise and satisfying to play. It could use some quality of life improvements like better indicators for the shield strength (it is barely visible when its almost gone. Also I dont see how long exactly it takes until its back), but thats very common for game jam entries. The difficulty is really high for a jam game, but I totally see how that is something at the core of your game. It leaves you room to improve yourself and you can actually feel getting better. That is something I can very much appreciate in games. My victory over "The Mage" gave me an amazing feeling I usually only find in souls-likes. The time and determination required to master your game is above average in jam entries which is why I feel most people dont finish it. Don't worry about it too much. If you want more people to finish the game make it easier and more approachable (in-game tutorials, more QOL polishing, etc.). Good job! |
