| Jan 9 23:36:56 | Our Hill of Stars | ♥ 3 | 2 hours of mine and a friends life going through these puzzles. pain and suffering throughout. Odd difficulty spikes throughout and we had way too much trouble with level 20. Really a lot of fun and great puzzles with room for improvement in design and layout. It got a bit cumbersome to have to wait for the tractor to go through each tile to check our progress. | |
| Jan 10 00:01:15 | 24m 19s | Organigrow | ♥ 1 | Took me a little bit to get to the seed gun as I was exploring - nice solid foundation for a game with good graphics. |
| Jan 10 00:11:26 | 10m 11s | Drake's Fortune | ♥ 2 | I really liked it, it very much reminded me of old flash games I used to play - great gameplay, but had 2 small issues - the mouse cursor being locked to the small ring felt uncomfortable personally and I think the fireball should have hit everyone rather than just the first person it struck. (This may have been in the upgrade path but I didn't quite finish it) |
| Jan 10 01:04:52 | 53m 26s | TurnUp | ♥ 4 | I think there's a lot of good elements setup here, but they don't quite carry through well with the gameplay - There wasn't enough feedback from the upgrades other than watering to tell exactly what the upgrades were doing, and they blocked the view of the turnips a lot. Instead of clicking on a turnip, just holding down click and hovering over the turnips would have helped greatly, especially as the farm expanded. The vibe was great with good art work, music and radio chatter! |
| Jan 10 01:09:37 | 4m 45s | Cookie Typer! | ♥ 1 | Solid typing game, would be good to see it have bit more to it as I had some words repeat a fair bit. The music and art was chill :) |
| Jan 10 01:18:45 | 9m 08s | Space Farmers | ♥ 0 | The whales are a bit too small to be able to keep up with. I think the game needs a bit more to it as the controls were a bit difficult, but you did a good job. I think in terms of gameplay a health upgrade/refill of some kind would help for sure! |
| Jan 10 01:25:41 | 6m 56s | Harvest Pen | ♥ 1 | Unfortunately running it in chrome from the ludum dare page doesn't work at all, can't get beyond the first error message. Downloading it and running it would crash as well sadly. I managed to get through the first level/tutorial before crashing but you have a really nice aesthetic going and nice simple gameplay. Hope you can put out a patched version to be able to try it out properly! |
| Jan 10 01:32:30 | 6m 49s | Honey Harvest | ♥ 0 | I really like the base game, but some of the different levels felt a bit jarring/strict at times |
| Jan 10 01:37:31 | 5m 01s | Dang Crows! | ♥ 1 | A lot of good stuff going for the game, but I just found the gameplay far too slow to enjoy. Also the UI at the top covered the top 2 layers of farmland which meant I couldn't see some of the crows attacking the wheat. |
| Jan 10 01:44:18 | 6m 47s | Energy Harvest | ♥ 0 | I got 2:49! I think I got a coin shape change easter egg for the bronze ball haha! I really liked the effect for the balls when moving zoomed in - weirdly satisfying effect used. Great stuff! |
| Jan 11 22:05:35 | 44h 21m | Feeding Time at the Church of the Cosmic Void | ♥ 1 | The art and animation is very good! The game play was well done, but the control layout was a bit fiddly on keyboard. |
| Jan 11 22:20:01 | 14m 26s | Fenasi | ♥ 1 | Congrats on finishing your first game and gamejam! It's definitely a bit rough with the combat and figuring out what to do, but I like that you started with a tutorial. I think to help with getting into it a delay before spawning/health decreasing to allow for explanation would have worked as I was too worried about killing the monsters to realise what to do haha. |
| Jan 11 22:28:12 | 8m 11s | Harvest match | ♥ 0 | I think you've got a nice base game, but the movement is way too slippery. It's straight forward, but with that it probably needs a little more to it like a clearer end game, or levels of difficulty, etc. |
| Jan 11 22:37:07 | 8m 55s | Soul Gardener | ♥ 0 | The shooting sound was a bit rough and the controls were a weird scheme for me personally. The movement speed and shooting were quick and well done. The levels were decently designed, but I had an issue with not seeing enough of the level, falling down and having to wait for the enemies to navigate towards me. Overall thought you did a good job, with some minor things to hash out! |
| Jan 11 23:02:20 | 25m 13s | Super Fruiters | ♥ 1 | Although I imagine it wasn't intended, the fact I can pre-sell my plants and get into crop debt to invest into my farm was funny. For the time spent you did a great job at creating something nice and simple |
| Jan 11 23:12:10 | 9m 50s | Minetanite | ♥ 4 | Great art and a great base for the gameplay! I think it needed some balancing or speeding up the pace as it got monotonous a bit quickly, but I liked the weapon variety and concept for sure. |
| Jan 12 00:34:02 | 1h 21m | Snake Attak! | ♥ 1 | Despite the graphics and music being a bit simple, I actually really like the potential for the combat. Although mashing click to get hits in as it got harder wasn't great, I think the simple rotate sword and click to attack was good and could be a lot of fun with some additional mechanics. Great stuff! |
| Jan 12 00:42:33 | 8m 31s | Harvest Swarm | ♥ 2 | Cute game with a nice retro gameboy aesthetic. I liked the gameplay too, but I think going between the items was generally unfun personally, especially if you got too close to another tool on accident it would pick it up. Overall though I did like it and you did a great job! |
| Jan 12 00:49:29 | 6m 56s | Soul Harvester | ♥ 1 | Decent game, I liked the idea of going to pick up your reward as a bit of a risk. Only complaint is those goblins have way more reach than they look like they do! |
| Jan 13 01:09:28 | 24h 19m | Crop Circle | ♥ 0 | One of the best in this gamejam I've played, very clean and well executed! Great job! |
| Jan 13 13:56:02 | 12h 46m | Carrot Season | ♥ 1 | Simple, but a fun and well done game - The carrot boss rocked my shit for a bit haha. I agree with the above as well about being able to be tabbed out would help. |
| Jan 14 17:11:26 | 27h 15m | The Time Traveler's Garden | ♥ 2 | Really great work here with a fun concept. My only complaint was that the feedback from hitting the enemies wasn't very clear. You built such a solid foundation for a game in a short span of time and it looks and plays nicely! |
