| Jan 8 22:18:30 | HARZARD OR HARVEST | ♥ 1 | Cute platformer! I like the aesthetics of the characters and levels! Sometimes when falling it wouldn't trigger death which meant I had to reload the page and restart from the beginning, one thing I've found works well is adding a y sanity check on a player model to kill them on platformers if it is far enough down. I also noticed that jumping didn't work when walking off the edge of platforms, so adding a bit of coyote time to your floor detection would help there. Did have fun though, great compo entry! | |
| Jan 8 22:36:46 | 18m 16s | Desdamona | ♥ 1 | Wow that was so polished and full of content! The aesthetic works so well and the characters and writing is cute. Puzzles were a little on the easy side, but still very enjoyable! One of the best compo games I've played not just out of this jam but out of all the jams! |
| Jan 8 22:43:59 | 7m 13s | Maize - Harvest Edition LD52 | ♥ 2 | I like the concept of speeding up with the combos and trying to optimize your route! I also ran into some teleportation and a bit where I got stuck off the track, but it was fun zooming along and clearing out the fields, nice theme tie in! |
| Jan 8 23:49:14 | 1h 05m | Chewberries | ♥ 1 | The time limit felt a bit tight for the first wave, failed my first couple attempts, but was fun once I got past that! I like the expressions on them as they progress! I agree with maymay, the pacing might have felt better if we started with some currency or the seed price was reduced for getting a second plant going. |
| Jan 9 00:01:28 | 12m 14s | Druid's House | ♥ 1 | Great game! Difficulty ramps up fast, didn't manage to get a second scythe, but had fun playing! |
| Jan 9 00:11:33 | 10m 05s | A Small Village | ♥ 1 | Absolutely love the pixel art and mood you have setup with this! I agree with others that the start of the game is really tough, but I like the mechanics at play! Not sure why those thieves don't just want to share the fire instead of having to steal it :D |
| Jan 9 03:23:03 | 3h 11m | Brewester | ♥ 1 | This is neat! I played a bit of it and thought it would be really interesting to mix this with a paper's please style of story where you might get suspicious orders like for poison etc and make moral decisions on your orders. Definitely hard to hit that kind of scope for a jam game, but just what came to mind when I first got a request for a love potion and sent the wrong thing by accident. I liked how on the farm there was a potion shop you could click on to return to the crafting while still keeping the quick buttons on the top, I enjoy having both options for traversal and would love to see that expanded. |
| Jan 9 04:09:01 | 45m 58s | Rogue Farmer | ♥ 2 | Took me a bit to realize how to fight, but was a fun little game! I was pretty excited once I planted the second crop.... definitely left me wanting more :D Love the farmer sprite by the way, nice bobbing animation! |
| Jan 9 05:19:54 | 1h 10m | Cream of the Crop | ♥ 2 | Ohhh a fellow godot entry! My time was 464! I did find myself mostly just sticking to the ground and not doing a lot of flying as it didn't seem any more efficient to do try to go higher and dive down compared to just staying level with the ground. Felt good to play though! Although I did wish the completion metric was a bit lower since it felt like I was mowing down little bumps to get the final bit. Like if maybe the goal wasn't to fully harvest everything, but to just get a full days worth of harvest it might have removed the tedious bit at the end. |
| Jan 9 05:59:54 | 40m 00s | Vegetableau | ♥ 1 | This ended up being a lot more fun than I was expecting! Good twist on the sliding puzzle genre. Awesome sound track too! |
| Jan 9 06:44:45 | 44m 51s | Cropsweeper | ♥ 1 | Ohhh this is an interesting take on minesweeper! At first I thought I was just playing minesweeper, but once I noticed I could plant crops that changed everything! Love the application of the theme and mixing up a classic! |
| Jan 9 07:01:31 | 16m 46s | Harvest Insula | ♥ 1 | Very satisfying to play! Would have loved to have like an auto harvester node that harvested the 8 adjacent cells, so you could go around planting donuts and reaping the profits. The different shapes for plants was unexpected and a fun incentive to be picky about what land you buy so you can optimize your current flow. It was pretty easy to max out everything, but not something I'd complain about for a game jam scope! Makes me think I want more to play, which is always a good thing for jams :) |
| Jan 9 21:34:52 | 14h 33m | Lo-Fi Harvest & Chill | ♥ 2 | The chillest experience I've had yet! A very welcome break and quite relaxing to play. I love that you can pick up the tractor and it auto rotates back to being upright and you can place it down wherever. I got stuck on the rock and figured that one out! Picking up things feels very satisfying too. Also really appreciate that you don't have to mow down every single crop and that after reaching a threshold the harvesting is complete, so nice to not have to worry about getting 100% |
| Jan 9 23:33:35 | 1h 58m | Lavender Fields Forever | ♥ 3 | Another excellent game! Lost a bit of time to this, but my lavender empire is complete! Impressive how much you all accomplished in the jam! Most of my issues I had was minor quality of life things like being able to remove things that were placed. I did occasionally find dirt tiles that could no longer be planted on, but it was pretty rare. There was also some y sorting glitches, but didn't cause any gameplay issues! I did get stuck in a wall once after placing it, but managed to wiggle out during dawn. I love how the friends all go to sleep during the horde night- I'm sure that helped out performance a lot too! I did get some performance issues near the end with the giant swarms... but I'm pretty sure that also had something to do with my silly base. All in all, outstanding entry! Definitely my favorite jam game I've played so far! empire.png |
| Jan 11 07:41:24 | 32h 07m | Farming Combos | ♥ 2 | The controls took me a minute to get used to, but it was very interesting to play once I did get used to it! I like the different mechanics for slow and fast growing tiles and how that played into the combos. I would have liked to maybe see quality fertilized plots too where you might plan on ending your combo of a vegetable with the high quality plots. Fast food was definitely the funnest level! (Also one of the only ones I managed to get a decent score on lol) - I think some floating text when harvesting would add a lot of juice to the game - letting you know if it was an early / perfect / late harvest etc. |
