This was a short but fun top-down shooter. I love the idea of launching an RPG at wheat to harvest it. That gameplay decision also makes the game significantly more fun rather than having some generic harvesting tool.

Fun to play for sure, I am not sure what the red squares shooting at me were though. Humour was good and I liked the ending

@auros hi, i didn't manage to find the vod of you playing, but thank you for the review and thank you for playing! i apreciate it alot!

skvader-418 2023-01-10 16:25

@pixelated-pasty thanks alot, i put alot of time into the ending, but unfortunately due to lag its not synced up with the music, which is a shame but i couldnt do anything about it

Great game!

I had fun! Shooting wheat to collect it is kinda funny and I like that there is no depletion of ammo. The shop is a nice touch to keep the wheat collecting interesting. The only I found myself wishing for was a short break between waves versus one never-ending wave. Overall great job though.

Great ending sequence!

Had fun playing on stream. The ending sequence was super amusing. Might be a more interesting challenge if there were a possible loss scenario, but a great little casual entertainment piece as is.

Dude this was so great, I am always super into anything with horde-based gameplay. Happy we were able to find out the passive income safe area 360 IQ gameplay skills.

Thanks for letting me play this!

Here's the VOD, split into chapters so you should be able to find your section! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hMhAX_Rgg8

The ending was AMAZING!!!!! We were all rocking out to it at the end on stream lol. Nice entry. My only issue is the guns were a bit loud. Thanks for the entry ^-^

I loved this game! As a new gamer I found the controls and options easy to use and the way to win was very satisfying. Very creative.

alexascher 2023-01-13 18:27

Big guns, lots of wheat and dramatic ending - that's what I call a great game!

chase-of-bass 2023-01-16 13:02

This was super fun! I loved all the upgrades and the concept and once i realized i could shoot to harvest it was even more fun! xD This was amazing and very well balanced and the end sequence with the music was epic!!Screenshothotlineharvest.png

This was freaking amazing. I appreciated you coming by my stream to tell me about the game (and also that I should make sure I get to the end, which was 100000000000000000000% worth it, trust me!). This was wonderful and I highly recommend everyone checks it out!

Seriously tho, that ending 😮😮😮😮😮😮

@taikinaaa @yahel-dooley @khaotom @jitspoe @krassenstein @flyingkaida @enchantedbrews @alexascher @chase-of-bass @cataclysmicknight Thank you ALL for playing my game and taking the time to play it to the very end and experience "the ending" which all of you love. I cannon understate my gratitude for you people

cataclysmicknight 2023-01-18 02:32

Thank you for making it! And for coming by my stream to share it, it was a delightful find! And I'm so, so glad that others are discovering this game and enjoying it as much as it deserves 🥳

I've always wanted to harvest wheat with guns! This is an interesting mashup of top-down shooter and simple farming simulator. I would not think to combine those 2 genres, but it works! I had a blast blasting my enemies and crops! I do feel that the game could've been balanced better: the most expensive weapon was not the most useful, and if I wanted to I could have easily farmed (haha harvest joke) enough money to buy the win ticket with just the pistol.

danman9914 2023-01-19 02:54

You shouldn't have opted out of the humor category! When I shot the wheat with a pistol and it still counted as harvested I laughed out loud. Nice entry!

blue-pin-studio 2023-01-21 08:55

Nice! I managed to buy the winning ticket :D

I can't help but feel that this game could've been reskinned to fit any theme, instead of wheat it can be something else. While i spent a lot of time harvesting wheat, it was mostly about shooting. Including shooting the wheat! haha

It was a fun time nonetheless

Really good game, you can see so much improvements from your previous games! The gameplay felt smooth, but at some points a bit too easy. Some ways to fix this is for example to add a bit more delay to the melee as this was very OP, add more enemies the longer you play (and make the player lose more currency!)

Well done!

Sick ending lmao I tried spending a bunch on seeds to see how many I could get spawning xD
