Neat game with pretty pixel graphics. I already feel like a farmer.
Very unique idea, using the harvester to collect a lot of crops in a single sweep feels satisfying. car controls are fine but since the car sprite only has 8 axis, it's a bit difficult to follow precisely where you are facing. The power ups (I only ever came across big harvester) are a good idea, they make avoiding cows a bit difficult but it's a fair trade.
Some audio could go a long way here, core mechanics are satisfying enough, some juicy sound effects could make this a much enjoyable experience. MIDI music fits the visuals well, I am a fan of the FluidR3's Grand Piano myself (I know that sample when I hear it). Anyways good game overall, just needs some polish (and more levels) :]
Very fun physics once you get the hang of the controls. The requirement for finishing the levels should be higher so you actually get a change to explore the full level.
edit: also needs more cows
Really fun, unique, wacky physics. Harvesting a big column of wheat feels so good even without SFX, but I think SFX would make it even more satisfying. I died a couple times without knowing why, though... maybe I hit a cow but I didn't think I did. Having multiple levels was great. Good job!
Ha, very good idea and a great name ;) Liked the mechanics, would have loved some sound effects, but the music and visuals also work very well together. Cool entry!
Great idea! I love how different this feels, and the mechanics all work really well. Driving is fun, and the harvester is just wacky enough to feel like a challenge without being too unwieldy. The sprite work is excellent, especially having all the 8-sided sprites for the car. I really like that the levels show a good variety and aren't too hard to win. Excellent work on this one :)

The difficult to control the car makes the game very funny. Nice game!
Very cool! Loved the art!
Feel-good game with happy music! It took me two tries and a game from start to finish to really get the hang of the controls. Didn't understand first it is driving forwards to the direction the car is facing and 'a' & 'd' rotates the car. But in the end the steering felt alright. Nice idea and it's satisfying to cut the hay, good work!
What a unique take on the theme! The car was a little hard to control but the idea for this game is hilarious. Awesome work!
Nice music and funny concept. The controls are fiddly but in an interesting way.
it's a nice one!!..your controls are good with the machine on the back ...number of levels can be increased (it's good enough for this jam)..and the super power is to scale the machine is a nice thing...good work!!
Quite well working implementation of driving and rope physics. Bit annoying that cars move direction does not match 100% with visible sprite. Could be made to have only 8 direction of movement like nes/snes era racig games sometimes had. Idea has potential to be both speed running and puzzle game.
fun game. The chopping down of the wheat is satisfying and the powerups like the big harvester are quite cool. I'm not sure whether I love or hate the car physics. It's so hard to control sometimes but then I feel like a race car with a harvester as a trailer probably would be.
Just the right amount of jank! Pulling some donuts while reaping a lot of crops really feels satisfying. The music caught me off guard in the beginning, but it grew on me. Good job! :smile:
Great fun! Love the graphics and the janky physics. Music seemed a bit incongruous with the mad fun, but you forget about it quick when you've got a harvester barrelling towards the nearest cow. Great work!
Racing around with quirky controls and a harvester at the back, what's not to like. :smiley: I agree with the others that the music didn't seem to fit at first, but that thought disappeared quickly as I was driving around dodging cows.<3
