Very cool game! My soul is in heaven now :)

When you understand how the scarecrows work, it becomes a bit to easy in my opinion, as the harvester will just wander around and clear the path for you.

I loved the design of the scarecrow, it looks so good :)

The music is really good, and it works well together with the visuals when you get the harvester's red light showing that it's getting closer and closer :laughing:

Nice entry!

I like the mood of the game I coulnd't found out how the tractor was working :/ I kept waiting in the scarecrows most of the game, maybe hide and seek would work better than "be found right after getting out of the scarecrows while the tractor don't face us"

Graphics and Musics really works together tho !

Nice game, loved the atmosphere. The visuals were cool, the ghost looked very cute. I didn't understand what the beehives did. I liked how there were steps to do before going to the heaven. I enjoyed the maze itself as well :). I was a little confused at the beginning of the game, since you appear facing the harvesting machine, I started running towards it XD

funny game, love the design of ghost and tractor. was a little confused at the beginning😅

Ez clap on 3rd attempt :D I think removing ability to hide and instead focus only on using land mines would improve player impact on the outcome. Hiding is pretty passive.

Great entry!

Very nice 3D models, the harvester was particularly cool, very cute 2D drawings and nice music as well! I did not manage to understand how the bees worked :thinking: but I managed to get to heaven in the end anyways :)

Very nice game, the angry looking harvester looks menacing at first, but once you realize that you can hide in the scarecrows, he is actually pretty nice and clears most of the way for you ;)

Incredible graphics and a fantastic soundtrack! Took me a few tries to understand the mechanics fully. Could be helpful to have some more details in the game description. But once I understood the game it was a lot of fun and made it into heaven. Really liked the evil look of the harvester!

Cool game and a unique take on the theme! I really liked the design of everything. It all looked whimsical but with a dark mood. The hiding mechanic was well done, though the tractor would sometimes turn around and not move away from me. This was easily fixed by jumping in and out of the scarecrow though. Overall nice work!

Really cool and fun game. It looks nice and plays really well. Nice work.

Great game!

Really like the graphics, feels real good to play. The scarecrow mechanic it really cool as well. Felt a bit unfair tho that the harvester knew where I was at all times if I wasn't hiding.

Nice twist on the theme. Really lived how you personified the combine harvester. The visuals, audio design complements the overall idea quite nicely. Also great idea, on using sacks of wheat with wheat drawn on them to represent wheat :joy:

The ghost "run" animation is quite ingenious also - it looks like the ghost remembers its personality as a person, and he/she is raising legs when running, hence the skirt gets lifted sideways a bit.

Few points to consider though: 1. Still not sure what do bees do? Are they just a guide indicator, that you are on the right path? 2. Hiding in scarecrows is really neat idea, but I would think there should be some kind of limitation to it. Maybe: `there is time limit you can stay in the scarecrow` or `you can enter only certain number of scarecrows`, or even `once you leave the scarecrow, you cannot enter another one until certain amount of time passes`. Though maybe these could be different difficulty levels and/or challenges for more variability. 3. if you hide in the scarecrow, that is right by the level wall, it gets really hard to see where the harvester is, because camera is pulled downwards into the sacks due to collision with the level wall.

Overall great entry :thumbsup:

Hmm it seems from the comments I missed a number of mechanics, like the scarecrows and beehives. Just thought they were cosmetic additions to the fields.

Adding extra conveyance is difficult in such a short time for a jam, but maybe adding details in the game's page could help people.

jonathan-lorenz 2023-01-21 19:55

@burnsdesigns You're right, I'm gonna do that now. Thanks !

Fun lil 'racing' game! Did not really understand how the crows/bees help me, but got through it without them! The graphics and sound were my fav part.

fun maze type game, I love how the tractor destroys the maze as it rampages to you allowing you to get to places you might have missed before. The visuals and audio were perfect imo. And I guess the maze was suppose to slow you down, but its a little odd that the player is faster than the tractor chasing it.

What a fun little entry! It has a lot of polish and the atmosphere fits so well. The harvester truly felt evil :joy: Sometimes I found it hard to haunt/hide the scarecrows, I think the colliders/triggers were a bit off. Otherwise I enjoyed this entry :smile: Keep on making games!

jonathan-lorenz 2023-01-22 22:03

@frozenfire92 I will!

That was really cool!! The intensity of running from that giant combine and starting off with needing to run towards the camera created a really cool start to the game as I foolishly tried to run around it the first time. Felt fun to barely make it to a scarecrow and then wait for that giant mechanical beast to wander off. The lighting and art were great -really liked the drawing at the end too ^_^ Also, looooved the music -really awesome work on this!! :D

snoopyholmes 2023-01-27 01:14

It's a really cool idea. It took me a second to figure out at the beginning, but it was a lot of fun. The art and music really goes well with the game. Good job!
