Ok, so far we are doing Godot, and have a tractor harvesting some wheat.. we are thinking maybe just see how efficiently you can scoop up all the wheat.

Also, yes i know this is a tractor with a plow, not a combine harvester.. but some liberties have been taken...

I'm on the leader board mwahahah :) I harvest in circles.

Crashes on load for me with the message "WebGL context lost, please reload the page".

nikolaj 2023-01-09 15:52

@linus-lindberg It requires WebGL2 to run. I tested in latest Chrome and Firefox without issue. If you let me know what browser/OS you tried, I can give that a go and see if I can fix it. Thanks for trying it!

EDIT: Looks like it is crashing in OSX >_< even in Chrome. Sorry for all you OSX users.. hoping i can make time to pump out a binary build

Fun times, feels smooth to use and it's great seeing this run in the browser. Did you end up making this in godot?

Really fun and funny, good job on the physics and graphics but audio really could be imrpoved.

Overall I think it's great. It just wasn't particularly fun for me personally. But that might be because I was playing on a trackpad. Very impressed though with the audio, visuals, performance, etc..

It was fun to play! Sound and art are great too!

mololo 2023-01-11 20:19

I like the art and the gameplay was short, but fun. Good job.

viktor-dedek 2023-01-11 22:51

Nice. And the touch of high score table, much appreciated!

thejookerful 2023-01-11 22:58

Yeah I am the first after you in leaderboard (At the time of writing this comment) =D Really fun game, good job ! ;)

noeloskar 2023-01-12 19:23

Really neat idea, i managed to get on the top 10

yahel-dooley 2023-01-13 04:38

That was fun. I tried I think 3 times. The controls are little hard to get used too, and found myself really wishing for d-pad input however; I realize that would make the challenge much less of a challenge. It was worth the play though, good work!

Fun little harvester game with a nice leaderboard! I like that the driving takes some skill and precision, and you get a bit faster and smarter with your run each time. I can't seem to crack about 20th place on the leaderboard, but I'm impressed by those top scores!

Nice job on the graphics.

reivilibre 2023-01-14 20:04

It would be handy to document the controls, I can't figure out how to get going — spacebar seems to accelerate but I can't steer reliably!

But I can still see the cool effects on the ground at least :-). Looks like quite some effort has gone in.

alfacarp 2023-01-14 20:45

I enjoyed the game... Tried my best... But alas. Did not make it to the leaderboard. Though I tried. But nice game. Would have liked to see more features and mechanics. Would love to see what you'd have done with more time, and will check your profile for future games!

adrien-tremblay 2023-01-15 01:02

Nice looking game. Wish there was more to it though!

deimos 2023-01-15 09:57

Man this is so satisfying. And I love the graphics. Good job.

nikolaj 2023-01-15 17:24

@reivilibre thanks for the feedback! Somehow I had imagined the controls would be more intuitive :laughing:

The trick is to click/hold the place you want to go to with mouse/touch. The closer you are to the tractor, the tighter the turn.

I guess I have to remember to have an illustration on load to inform the user!

ianlux 2023-01-15 21:03

Really cool game! Had fun steering and harvesting, pretty satisfying. :)

buni 2023-01-16 19:11

Really satisfying games and the visuals are great

peachtreeoath 2023-01-16 19:30

Didn't expect to see a Powerwash Simulator type game in here :) It was actually pretty fun replaying and trying to get onto the leaderboards. I bareeeeeely squeaked in at 2nd to last with 707.

I am curious though, what determines tractor speed? Sometimes it went faster or slower than I expected and I never could figure it out. Does mouse position matter at all? Sometimes I'd pull the mouse further away and hope that it would make it go faster. I'm guessing it's purely based on how many you're harvesting at a time but not sure.

Either way, the game is super satisfying, and speedruns were harrowing as you would clear out a row but then accidentally leave 2 stalks standing, killing the whole run!

nikolaj 2023-01-19 04:13

@peachtreeoath Thanks for the great feedback and i am glad you liked it!

The interaction is the farther from the tractor you pull, the faster / wider turn radius, closer the mouse is the tighter the turn radius. Somehow I imagined this might become obvious, but clearly it isn't :laughing: , ah well, next time an explainer graphic is needed!

dimaswift 2023-01-19 19:56

nice game, I made it to the leaderboards!

kuggenhoffen 2023-01-21 14:36

That's awesome, managed to get top score after trying for a while. Surprisingly addictive :D I would definitely see myself spending some time playing a more fleshed out farming game based on this.

nikolaj 2023-01-23 01:25

@kuggenhoffen Wow nice job! What was your strategy? up and down, or looping?

kuggenhoffen 2023-01-23 19:18

@nikolaj I did spiral from outside in, I think it's possible to get even better score as I probably went a bit slow :D

leorototo 2023-01-26 13:02

Fun to play ! i've tried 3 times to be on the leaderboard... but failed :'(

zimny11 2023-01-27 00:06

Nice game! No chances for me to get to the leaderboard XD I was trying to use arrows or WSAD first, so it took me a minute to figure out that you need to use mouse :) Anyway, well done!
