Cool concept. I like how the scythe has multiple purposes to attack and gather.

This is really great! I love the concept here and MAN is this hard to control (in a good way, once you get the hang of it). I wish the icons on the right were actually buttons. I finally got enough to get another scythe and accidentally clicked and made a bunch of crop spots instead :( My fault for not reading the directions hah.
Wow this game was way too hard for me xd
I do agree the scythe was an interesting mechanic, def takes some getting used to
@ben-burnes Yeah hahahaha, I have clicked a lot of times while test phase clicking to focus on the Game. Buttons could work better, thanks for the feedback! :D
@mihkelroomet after some minutes you get used to it and start using movement to your advantage :P
Hard to play at first but a very cool concept!
Great game! Difficulty ramps up fast, didn't manage to get a second scythe, but had fun playing!
Had fun trying to get the hang of it, but I never did.
1117!!! My favorite entry so far. Considering how basic it all is, the formula works pretty well. Found myself balancing enemy distracting, dodging and harvesting. And it's pretty tricky, even when you understand it! I could definitely improve my score with skill and strategy, too. Excellent work!
After a score of about 2800, crows stopper spawning so i decided to freely grow flowers ^^ Really nice and addictive game, i wish there was no cap top the number of scythes!

@mortith HOLY! I set some arbitrary limit to avoid huge FPS Drops, but maybe with some optimization I could increase the limit. Really thanks for playing and share this amazing screenshot! :D
The scythe is an interesting mechanic, I wish there was a little more control over it other than movement.
@mortith No clue how you managed! This game was tough! I couldn't manage to get more than three scythes, though that was probably more a failing of strategy on my part. I couldn't make it through, but I did play it for a good hour, so that's definitely worth something.
Good interpretation of the theme, the scythe moved a bit weird at first, but its quite fun to control once you figure out how. Tho i feel like the progression curve is quite steep at the start, the prizes are a little bit too high. But otherwise its a great game, good job :thumbsup:
Love this game XD LD52 2023_1_11 12_55_48.png
Well that was challenging... in a good way! At first, getting a grip of the controls was tricky but once you get the hang of it, the game becomes really fun. Good job!
Wow I'm really impressed at how addictive this game becomes once you learn it. I really like figuring out different ways to move to maximize the scythe damages. Getting more and more overpowered also felt great. The only issue is that the early game when you have only one scythe isn't quite as fun. The enemies feel like they have way too much health for one scythe to manage. After getting the second scythe everything is fine, but that took me a couple tries to get to. Overall I think getting the second scythe is the point where the game gets really really good and it should be a bit quicker to get.
@pianoman373 thanks for the feedback! I really agree with you, the 2nd is the key to fun. Maybe I could have balanced better. Will try more next time :D
Played the game 3 times, managed to get 282 highscore. It took me a while to realise how to get updates. They were quite useful. And the gameplay was really fun and challenging. I wish there were two or three types of enemies, but this is a compo game, so no worries. Overall, a fun entry.
