@ben-toosey should bring you to the download page with a web link now. I think the link is randomized every instance or something.
I like puzzle games so I had fun playing this. I wish there was a timer or more of an indication how long you have before they go bad though, but other than that, was very fun. Thanks for sharing :)
The puzzle game aspect is really interesting and caught me off guard, but I can see another game that leans more into the puzzle aspect rather than the arcade-score aspect working extremely well.
On the technical side, there were a few bugs and rough edges that I think could be ironed out if there was a follow-up version. Specifically:
- The red text is hard to see - The timer (seconds) should be padded with 0s (eg: 2:05, not 2:5) - Movement being timer-based felt a bit awkward, especially when I was trying to go for high scores - The music ended a bit before the level timer
The funky movement of multiple characters isn't something I've seen in a LD before and led me to have to think on my feet basically the whole time :smile:
That was really puzzling: harvesting crops with 2 different characters at the same time with opposite controls. Fortunately the time was lenient so I could take my time observing things before harvesting.
A fairly tough, but fun challenge. I often found myself sprinting after berries praying they wouldn't spoil before I made it there :sweat_smile:
