I am the winner!
Fun, but slightly confusing. Got shot by the first person I found. Second person helped me grow crops

It is a very cool idea, but I'm not sure how to find my friend in the server. This is how I imagine Ohio to be like. Friendless, farms, and guns.
This is a great take on a farming + combat game! The controls can be a bit fiddly to work with when getting started.
Was Fairly Confused by the controls but still fun
Pretty interesting idea to do a multiplayer game for a game jam. Was quite funny playing with our teams members and some other random people in the server. We all won with a score of 0 on the first play through. Think the premise is good but could do with a little more QOL features and the controls felt a little awkward/sluggish.
Incredibly ambitious, very impressed you guys pulled this off! Had fun doing the 2 playthroughs I did. First one we all won because we didn't know what was happening, second one I cracked on farming and luckily only got shot once so I managed to win :P
I went through 2 and a bit games, the first one ended about the same time I worked out the controls. The second one I tried being aggressive, but there's not a lot of value to be had in killing people. (I guess I should be stealing things instead.) The third one I just farmed melons and got to like $800.
It's an incredible idea, I don't know how well it's going to fare through the rating process due to its required player count(where even 2/3 seems too low to really get the full experience.) and the fact that it takes a few tries to see how the whole thing comes together.
If you wanted to continue this you might need to look into the control scheme a little, it gets in the way of the sort-of fast paced game you're going for.
Nicely done.
@zyrconium thanks for the nice feedback! We don't really expect to get a lot of ratings, to really make it fun you probably need 8 Players. Im curious if we will ever see that number in the next few days. Probably not, but that is OK. The control sheme is actually a result of our design process. We first wanted to make a turn based game and then later decided to set the turn timer to 1 tick to make it "real-time" instead. I don't think we will do anything further with it but if we did I think we would change it to wasd instead.
Very ambitious project! ^^ great work, I only played by myself though but I'm sure if i could have found someone they would have just shot me, or I'd shoot them haha
Very innovative with the Multiplayer, though I didn't see anyone. Really need to read the description to get the hang of the game.
Me and my friends played this and I initially dismissed it as being barebones and unfinished but once we got into it we actually had a lot of fun. Thanks for allowing other players to hear a shotgun cocking, it's great for comedic effect.
Me and my friends played this for a good 10 mins at least! It was pretty fun!
Very interesting idea and solid gameplay. I can see a lot of work on this work.
I wish I could test this game with someone.
Congrats for the great entry!
The most misbehaved farmers I've ever seen! Really ambitious game, and you did a great job with it.
This is a cool idea, unfortunately there weren't a lot of people on the server when i hopped on, but i saw a lot of promise in the idea, amazing thing to do in 72 hrs, awesome work!
There's a lot of work in this, and I would have given you an extra half point in humour if we could blow away the scarecrow :) Nice that there's better seeds hidden elsewhere - this is fun to play! My only gripes would be: - the control scheme wasn't that intuitive, but hours of Skyrim has me convinced 'use' is 'E' not space so I found myself switching between the two - I can carry 8 melons and one shotgun but not one shotgun and one tiny seed packet (I know, I know)
Good game I spent a fair bit of time in though - well done indeed :)
