Most on theme game I've tried so far. I liked the way new features kept coming. One bug I found is pressing 'X' leaves the store, but the store UI stays up. You can still drive and play but the shop options are blocking parts of the screen.
Loved this game! Started out simple but new features just kept coming. Amazing how you managed a game with such depth in 48 hours! Ended with 218980 and all upgrades! (closing upgrade window worked for me).
The harvesting was soooo satisfying, especially after I hot rodded it out. I love the nostalgic quality of the game, felt like would be right at home on a windows 95 "1000s of games" cd-rom. Loved it. Great work.
Very cool game, mood and art style reminds me of my childhood! The controls felt weird at first, but that's how the old school games ware.
Nice game, good style, pleasant music gameplay very nice too and the difficulty curve is really well done ! Good job ! :)
i like how the new mechanics kicking in each turn. then once i get to upgrade the vehicle, it becomes very satisfying.
Very satisfying and relaxing game. Reminds me of the old Motherload flash game.
Cool game, it made me a bit nostalgic !
$291,310.... I worked way too hard to get all of the money I could on the "perfect day" day. Really, really, fun and addictive, it's funny how quickly you can get smooth turns using the arrow keys. The difficulty went up a nice amount each turn too- the only thing I can really think of to improve the experience is with the deers, having a few spawning in a little prior so they're already across the field at the start, or have them go both ways for extra trickiness!
@realtanhen that is a good score! And a great idea about the deers.
This game is so cool ! It's very satisfying to discover a new feature every month ! I juste had a little bug with the garage UI but good job really !
Really fun game ! The upgrade keeps the game going. Had a few lags with rain and fire. Congrats !
Oh boy, isn't that a satisfying feeling when you getting a crops with your trusty harvester! Great one, dude! Couldn't stop untill finished the game.
Animation of harvesting wheat is pretty neat :) Would be much better to have the ability to go with free angle (not only 45, 90, 135, 180 etc)
didn't expected much after the first round, i was thinking " i wish i could go a bit faster and have a bit more challenge like animals to dodge" and then that exactly what you did ! enjoyed it a lot ! nice job
I love the animations and the overall style of the game! The music was also quite nice and fit with the feel of the game. One feedback I have is make the fuel more forgiving. Both times I lost was because I ran out of fuel haha. Overall a solid entry.
Cool game! Agree with @danmerey, I think free angle would be nice, but mastering controls whatever they are is also part of the challenge. π I enjoyed harvesting! πΎπΎπΎ
Very nice one - good progression, pretty artstyle. well polished. Soundtrack was nice and fitting, but the harvesting sound was veery anoying, had to mute after some time playing. Also nice idea with the deers, but just hitting them when maneuvering sometimes felt wrong. Good job!)
Super fun! Very good introduction of new features. Smoother controls (not just 8 directions) would probably be a nice addition. Great job, I only wish there was more content. You really nailed the theme, doesn't get more Harvest than this!
Excellent game. It is very simple but at the same time enjoying and satisfying. I really like the games music. I am impressed by how much content the game has considering that you only had 48 hours. One problem with the game is that it gets laggy when switching years and when meteorites fall. Anyway, I like that game over only restarts the year.
MOVE DEER!!!
great. i played it all the way through. I maxed the upgrades right away, some more upgrades would have been cool. spreading fire, meteors, deer, all good.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for not putting me at the start of the game after I savagely mow down a poor deer. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!
Solid game. Nice variety of obstacles and upgrades. Though, I felt that the upgrades ended too soon, and that they were overpowered. The upgrade part of the game only lasted a few rounds for me. The mechanics were introduced so well. I like how they were part of the story. The rotation was a little clunky. I'd prefer to leave the turn key pressed, instead of pressing it repeatedly to turn. I really appreciated that when I lost, I restarted the year only - that really took the sting out of losing. It was a pleasure to play through the years.
2D games have 3D operation mode! How awesome!
What a nice complete entry, really impressed by the progression and amount of different features. Wasn't able to play with audio on unfortunately, but I know everything else is quality. The only thing I'd adjust is the turning. Either the controls (my first instinct was press left to go left), or simply making it full 360 rotation could make it feel even smoother.
But that's a small thing, great job overall, congrats!
Really enjoyed it, it felt a bit slow to get the upgrades going. A lot of fun once all the mechanics are introduced.
