The chillest experience I've had yet! A very welcome break and quite relaxing to play. I love that you can pick up the tractor and it auto rotates back to being upright and you can place it down wherever. I got stuck on the rock and figured that one out! Picking up things feels very satisfying too. Also really appreciate that you don't have to mow down every single crop and that after reaching a threshold the harvesting is complete, so nice to not have to worry about getting 100%

My favourite entry so far, love the chill vibes and aesthetic

I absolutely loved my experience with this game! The vibes are super chill, and I absolutely loved taking my time and cutting down all the crops. The music was amazing, and the overall aesthetic was too. I did get stuck on the rock in level 2, but I can look past that tiny issue as I really enjoyed my time with this!

The game is true to its name. I feel a little stressed today and this kinda really helped. :smile:

One time I got stuck on the rock and after a while I found out I can pick up the tractor, that was fun little detail.

Good game.

That is one strong tractor! But of course, no boulder should impede the chill of this game. I do feel like a bit more sounds effects during driving/harvesting would be nice, but as we all know that's one of those details there is just never enough time for

That was awesome! I imagine playing this after work, just pure chill. I found just one bug, truck stucks on second level in the corner

Such a relaxing game. Love that I can just yeet rocks and myself wherever I want.

Tried to play this game on Linux using Wine... it did not work, so I didn't rate the game. 🫥 It's not your fault, so don't worry! Too bad, it seemed pretty *chill* :smile:

Feedback

Distribution

Please **provide a Linux build if possible**, so I can play the game!

@ursagames I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to playing your game again this jam 😁

@sam-cousins I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@sandeia thanks for playing! I'm sorry you got stuck on the rock, you should be able to pick up anything that gets you stuck or the tractor to get out of any problems :)

@vrerabek I'm glad I could help destress you

@cievers I think I forgot to set the mass of the rocks to actually be heavy but it's also fun when you do get to push them around 😃

@jelliott picking things up out of your way while driving is half the fun I found 😁

@steffo I'm sorry to hear that, I'll see if I can get a Linux build going when I get back to my computer 😁

Guess i know what im doing in work from now on :D Great entry!

Chill and pleasant. I like the solution to use mouse buttons and wasd for controls simultaneously.

wobbleblocks 2023-01-10 13:53

that was so awesome! I loved the simple mechanics, and the music was so chill! amazing work all round!

seltzerfish 2023-01-10 19:41

oh this is lovely

rich-machines 2023-01-10 21:38

Fantastic! Relaxing game, solid implementation: I tried to push the objects out of the boundaries but it didn't work.

chum-chum 2023-01-10 22:32

Very chill & relaxing. :smile:

Very nice look, feel and sound to this game. An excellent entry that did a good job of mixing tractor collection with mouse collection. Quite soothing :)

adam-burt 2023-01-11 15:51

Really well done - relaxing and ticks that completionist box. Reminded me of PowerWash Simulator, in a good way. Good use of music too. Everything was smooth.

spaint 2023-01-11 17:47

Feel like if it had an option for auto-camera the game would be better. Pretty relaxing otherwise

madrededios 2023-01-11 18:13

Oh I love the vibe and simplicity :slight_smile: I would love this to be playable with one hand somehow, the use of the mouse feels a bit forced! But that's being very picky!!

boaheck-artgent 2023-01-11 19:16

What a lovely little experience! I really appreciated the little twists added with the rocks and carrots. I think I would have preferred either a follow cam or more responsive non tank controls tbh. I did really enjoy the physicality and ease of play though, a very chill experience all around!

iskra 2023-01-13 17:02

A very relaxing game. The sounds combined with the melody, graphics and pleasant movement mechanics give this game an amazing atmosphere <3

honest-dan 2023-01-14 22:15

Really chilled experience... BUT THEN - my harvester got stuck :(

The music was good, and also the presentation was very clean. I got the impression it was meant to be mini, like a toy harvester in a little dirt pit (like a sand pit). The shallow depth of field on camera was effective too! Enjoyed, thanks James!

gotanod 2023-01-15 11:56

Good game. I was testing the physics colliding with the rocks and my harvester was stuck, but then I realized that I can pick up it and place where I want!!! So you can harvest in straight lines and pick and drop your harvester at the beginning of next line :D :D Rotating the camera is nice to place it behind the harvester, your brain controls it easier that way. Maybe you can include a camera mode to follow the harvester (from the back).

gamesplusjames 2023-01-16 10:13

@honest-dan Sorry that happened to you! I probably should have communicated it better but you can grab the tractor or any rocks that get in your way and it will just pick them up if you get stuck :)

honest-dan 2023-01-16 12:31

oh wow @gamesplusjames, picking up the tractor is a big play! I just picked up the crops! You can optimise with some tractor pickups, but then prob wouldnt be as chill :D

quadtree 2023-01-23 08:11

Nice, pretty chill. Reminded me of Lawnmower Simulator. Realizing you can pick up the rocks sure helps get those levels done faster, heh. Nice job!
