i think the idea could be developed, i didnt manage to play too far as the models kept disappearing and i couldnt move. i like the particle effects.

Thanks for the feedback I'm not sure why the tractor keeps disappearing. I probably should have rotated my sprite instead of switching between four different ones. also I set the sprite each time the tractor moves and I think it is reloading the sprite even if it has the same url or something.
Unfortunately, as another commenter mentioned, the tractor goes invisible while driving, which makes it difficult to play. The purchasing is also glitched out, as it let me buy an item I didn't have the money for and I ended up with -$80 USD after
As already said by @alfacarp the sprite disappears. Also, I don't know why, but there's blood everywhere! :) Looks like a fun game but the glitches make it difficult to understand!
Neat concept and gameplay loop. I like the idea of balancing fuel and repairs with buying upgrades. The cows for fertilizing the crops is a nice touch as well. The bugs do make it more difficult to play. The controls and camera are smooth but the constant blood and mostly invisible tractor make it challenging to get a sense of what you're doing at the moment. I was also able to purchase anything regardless of current funds. Purchasing cows had some amusing side effects: the entire field would become completely covered in cows, my money would tank, and the cost of cows would skyrocket :Dcows.png
Thanks for the feedback. It's only blood if you hit a cow. lol. It's just that all the particles all look alike because I ran out of time before I set them up. Well polish it up and publish in the extra.
I think it's a really neat idea, but difficult to play due to already mentioned issues (like the tractor disappearing when it's moving). I wanted to add that one of the cows I spawned in just randomly vanished. I think I only had like 7 of them populated into the game, so I don't think it's because there were too many, and it was too far away from the tractor to have been because of me. I'll end off that the cows are really cute, and definitely a nice touch!
It feels like everything spills out blood, plants are full of it - even when no cows near, but otherwise solid little game. Upgrades keep it going, though perhaps some more variety would help even more. Some landscape canges or obstacles.
Also could benefit from some simple audio track and some sound effects, doesn't need to be too many. Overall solid work there!
I had no idea what was going on - mainly due to the constant stream of particles, but I do enjoy watching numbers go up.
I may have murdered many cows along the way, but i eventually had a successful harvest! Fun little game!
I was so obsessed with cows....I forgot to refuel xD Avoiding cows is a minigame in itself haha! Awesome game! xD
Number go up! Would have liked to see more upgrades (gotta go fast), and some polish would have helped a lot, but making a jam game in a custom engine adds a lot of bugfixing time I imagine. Well done!
I glad folks are enjoying it more now that the bug fixes are in place. @chartle Yes,the mostly untested custom engine defiantly slowed development down. @pazzi Who doesn't want a million cows in their corn field.
It seems like you can only make money at the start, before the crops start exploding. After that, you only make about $1 per crop, which does not make up for the fuel spent to harvest it.
For everyone who was like, What's with all the red blobs, I'm still not finished but this is more what it was supposed to look likeparticleimprovements.png. Once the voting is over be sure to come back and check out a more finished version.
I failed to understand what's going on at the screen. Definitely needs further development. At some point I got this glitch:

@brainles-entertainment Thanks for the feedback. Yes, We ran out of time well before it was really ready. The upgrade cost is a one of those things where I thought, this will get me approximately the cost ramp I want, and I'm not sure why, because I haven't gone back to look at that yet, but it was way off. I also didn't have time to change the sprites to scaled sprites in the buttons.
Interesting entry that had a decent idea for a core gameplay loop. The particles were a bit much (but I see in the comments your goal). I'd be curious to see more about this engine you've been generating. Keep on making games!
Congrats again on beating that AI-engine code into shape for production. As you've watched me play, I soon ran out of gas where I couldn't get out of the red but it was a nice tough of the game to let me go into the negatives with my account at least 😅 Otherwise a bit raw around the edges, nonetheless congrats of finishing! Thanks for submitting! Here's the video of me playing the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj_pzh6rT7I
I haven't forgotten about this one folks. Just got a little buried in feature creep. I started dialing things back towards the original jam idea so I'm hoping to finish up in the next week or two. Here is a teaser to hold you over. Screenshot_20230217_065721.png
