| Jan 10 16:06:20 | Techno Plants | ♥ 3 | Really fun game! Simple but really well implemented and satisfying. The whole thing had an excellent feel to it. The track was good and the art was a great match to the subject matter, great work all around! | |
| Jan 10 18:27:56 | 2h 21m | Strange Orchardist | ♥ 1 | Wonderful stuff! Great bit of challenge while still feeling possible to beat. The controls felt great, I never felt like I was fighting the game, any time I didn't succeed I was well aware that was on me. Lovely music too, excellent job! (Also, nice work on the mouth swoosh sounds) |
| Jan 10 18:33:56 | 6m 00s | Followers Collector | ♥ 1 | Cute little snake game! I love the little detail with the idle animation on the people as they wait to be picked up (and how they move in the line!). Really clever use of the video as interface too, it's a solid game that's well-executed, I had fun! |
| Jan 10 18:41:47 | 7m 51s | Harvest of Life | ♥ 1 | I'm a sucker for any kind of nontraditional art style, this was right up my alley. The music was great, though I'll say that I didn't love the other sound design, particularly in the living room. I also had some trouble figuring out how to finish the game, I tried out every option but it didn't seem like I was advancing, aside from the job interview popping up. I really enjoyed a different sort of take on theme though, overall nice work! |
| Jan 10 18:46:17 | 4m 30s | My Little Piece of Shelby | ♥ 1 | Cute start to a game! It has all the piece for a fun little farming sim. I'm sure it wasn't on purpose, but driving the car sideways was funny. Keep working on it and it should be really good! |
| Jan 10 20:09:44 | 1h 23m | Fox Puppies Want Food For The Winter | ♥ 1 | Beautiful art, nice music, and fun little game! I do think the goal might have been a little high and the limit on how many things you can carry made it feel a little artificially long, and I would have liked if the pumpkin guys wandering around were a little bit more dangerous, but it was still a really nice time. Great work! |
| Jan 10 20:22:26 | 12m 42s | There Was A Day | ♥ 3 | Oh yeah, a visual novel entry, cool! Props to you for doing that, unexpected but nice! The story itself was solid! The art turned out pretty well, but I'll admit I'm always extremely skeptical about the use of AI art. I'm also not entirely sure how it relates to the theme, aside from the very brief mention of a harvest...but I had a good time, thanks for submitting this! |
| Jan 10 20:34:55 | 12m 29s | Harkonnen Daily | ♥ 4 | Solid little game! Love seeing 3D in a game jam. The audio did a great job of setting the right atmosphere and the pace was solid so I never got bored. Good work! |
| Jan 10 20:46:02 | 11m 07s | Far VVest | ♥ 3 | A silly joke, but that's not a bad thing, as it was pretty well-done for what its supposed to be! The shooting mechanics actually worked pretty well, I had a fun time with it. The opening felt too at first, then I just started laughing and I realized that's definitely the pace it should be moving at. Nice work! |
| Jan 10 20:59:49 | 13m 47s | Hedgehog Tree | ♥ 2 | My favorite game of the jam I've played so far, it felt totally complete and well-considered. Art was gorgeous and it's surprising how much juice there is in the core loop for fun, I especially liked being able to change the position of the powerups at will so I could try to optimize my apple/pear dropping machine. My only nitpick is that I wish it was a little easier to telegraph where the wind might be going so it didn't just always wipe out my fruit, but instead just forced me to drop it at different angles. But honestly, that's a small gripe, the game is wonderful. Excellent work! |
| Jan 11 02:35:09 | 5h 35m | The Orchid's Edge | ♥ 2 | This is the first time this jam I have given a game a five star score, this is shockingly robust in all ways for a jam game. I played on a mouse and keyboard and I was kind of surprised at how functional it was, I wasn't having any issue with the platforming. The music is great, everything stood on its own well and all the transitions were excellently handled. The game was beautiful--honestly, I can very very little fault with it. Wonderful work! |
| Jan 15 16:36:02 | 110h 00m | Warden of the Woods | ♥ 3 | Really impressive work! I'm always amazed when people can put together things that can feel so complete and considered in the span of a jam. It was well-paced, the art and music were great, and the whole thing just had a really nice feel too it. Great work! |
| Jan 18 16:19:45 | 71h 43m | Agricultural Express | ♥ 1 | Really nice stuff! The whole thing had a great level of polish to it, I loved how fluidly the camera moved, and I'm always happy to see 3D in a jam. The harvesting mechanics were clear, it allowed for a very chill time. My one bit of constructive feedback is that I feel the train sounds could have been quieter, I would have rather heard the music, which worked well with the rest of the game. Still, great work! |
| Jan 18 16:38:03 | 18m 18s | A Day in the Life of Death | ♥ 1 | Spectacular work! Everything about it just worked. The art style was lovely, the music fit perfectly, sound design was on point, the whole thing had a wonderful layer of sheen and polish to it. The gameplay was simple but very engaging. No negatives at all, you crushed it! |
| Jan 23 18:32:20 | 121h 54m | River of Souls | ♥ 1 | I like the ideas at play and it's pretty fun! I did find myself dying very very easily but eventually got the hang of it. The sound didn't feel totally matched to the game for me, it was well-executed but a bit more dour than the game would suggest itself, but that's just my take on it. Either way, nice work! |
| Jan 23 18:40:45 | 8m 25s | Gummy Gobs | ♥ 0 | Excellent work! Wonderful polish, all the art and music gelled well together, the whole thing was a total joy. Really great entrance! |
| Jan 23 18:54:13 | 13m 28s | Raven Harvest | ♥ 1 | Impressive given how quickly you put it together! I do wish instructions were just a bit more clear, but that's to be expected given the time you had. Nice work! |
| Jan 23 19:20:08 | 25m 55s | Heartvest | ♥ 1 | This was a fun time! I liked how the music got more discordant and wacky as things got out of control. The controls were super tight and comfortable. Good work! |
| Jan 23 19:48:38 | 28m 30s | Astral Aberration | ♥ 1 | Really fun stuff! I appreciated the contrast in the space floating scenes and the more straightforward shooter segements. I occasionally encountered some glitchiness in the controls, mostly weird erratic shaking, but nothing that caused me to lose so it wasn't a big deal. Great work on the music too, nice entry! |
| Jan 23 19:57:38 | 9m 00s | Big Broccoli | ♥ 1 | Solid little game, nice execution of a classic idea! I liked the difficulty curve, it was tough but it doesn't throw you straight off the deep end so you get the chance to ease into it. Good work! |
| Jan 27 16:31:48 | 92h 34m | Travelling Tea Maker | ♥ 2 | Nice, enjoyable little adventure game! The illustrations were lovely, I would have loved to see more of them! I also encountered the same bug that kromeboy mentioned, except I could not click ahead so I had to restart, but I was happy to do so since it was a nice time. Good work! |
| Jan 27 16:37:57 | 6m 09s | Goblin Sylvester the Mighty Harvester | ♥ 2 | LOVED it! It's always impressive to me when someone pulls off 3D in a jam, and you did it in style. The inventory management was simple but enjoyable, and I loved the pacing of the whole thing. Walking just a bit slower really gave it an excellent vibe. Wonderful work! |
| Jan 27 16:40:42 | 2m 45s | nut another harvest story | ♥ 1 | What a lovely little game! Loved the illustrations, it pulled off minimalism extremely well. Everything about it felt very slick, really nice work! |
