Very atmospheric! I love that there's a light on the harvester and the glow from the UFOs. The music is also the perfect vibe for squashing aliens.

Well done.

Looks good. Running over the aliens is satisfying and I like the use of lighting.

Those aliens make a nice, satisfying crunch when you run them over. They also sound like turkeys. Nice job!

This was really fun, and the music/sfx/graphics were great.

Darrrn you @metzkermeister !!! I freaking can't beat your score! This is the game I played the most out of some 30ish games I've tested so far. The global leaderboard is a stroke of genius. Replay value is infinite despite the game itself being so simple. Visuals are good, sound/music is good. glowing obstacles are nightmare fuel. Amazing game!

Glad you enjoyed it everyone! @pazzi the leaderboard was inspired by our friends Tiny Moon, who made the great BOMB OVER in LD50. Sadly they didnt participate this time around and the hosting for their leaderboards is currently not running. As for my highscore... ive already been dethroned by people who get up a lot earlier than me. ^^'

I liked the mood of the game! It's pretty fun just to move around and kill stuff. It gets a bit repetitive after a few minutes, but it's still a good entry :) Well done!

Great game!

I left alive single pigeon from each pack so he could tell others about horrors they will ace.

Nice atmosphere, The lighting effects and audio are great. Global leaderboards are awesome, but I don't feel compelled to obsessively get to the top of this one. It ended up feeling a bit repetitive after a while.

The lighting is really cool and adds a lot to the game! Sometimes it was hard to track down where the aliens were at (even with the audio cues it was a bit tricky sometimes). The squash sounds were amazing thing! Fun game! :)

Simple, fun game! Definitely makes me want to try "just one more round" :) Nice work on the scoreboard too. The sound and music works really well, and the graphics/lighting are good. I like having to decide whether to hit a UFO for points and slow my momentum a bit, or swerve around the UFO to keep my speed up and continue the combo chain. Nice work on a very enjoyable jam game!

@chompdev you actually do not gain any score from hitting UFOs, they are only obstacles.

mightybanana 2023-01-13 23:00

Its simple, but oddly satysfying. Haha, die puny aliens! Puny, crunchy, juicy aliens! Great game, geniunely fun

Decidedly beautiful visuals. Good SFX. Loved the neon pink blood splatters and the crunch. Wished for an indicator for where new UFOs were coming down or something, and possibly another alien type.

Loved it. Only desires? More!

Nice to see another harvester racing sort of game :)

Loved the gore level in this game and the sound the aliens make when you squash em.

samuli 2023-01-17 18:00

Really solid music and fun sound effects! Satisfying gameplay.

nikolaj 2023-01-20 01:43

fun effects and music... if only i could drift my combine... :grin:

nekusoul 2023-01-21 22:41

Could've been a bit harder, but still very satisfying to play. Graphics, music and sound effects really fit and enhance the gameplay.

Pretty neat game. The name and field aesthetic actually reminding me of night missions on farmland in the original X-COM: UFO Defense, which was pretty amusing. Finding the aliens was a little tricky, a mini-map might have helped but might have made the game too easy. The fact that you can find the aliens by sound was pretty cool, too. Nice job!
