Cute little game. I know the assets weren't yours, but still, good choice of graphics. Gameplay is fun, I like the idea of sneaking around not getting caught by cows haha.

Good idea, I like that you have to harvest the things that hide you from the cows. Congratulations on making this!

It is sometimes a bit annoying that you get stuck for a while without knowing why (I guess collision detection is approximative) and that you cannot really control which wheat tile you will cut.

Really cool game, everything works together nicely!

Pleasantly surprised to see a stealth game for this theme! I thought this was a pretty unique Harvest idea and was implemented well. The patrolling cows are funny and work great, and I enjoyed the mechanic where you go for higher-value food bundles to get 10 score at a time instead of harvesting individual crops. Great job!

That's a very surprising take on the theme, it's very refreshing! The character is sometimes confusing to move when he gets stuck in the corners, but otherwise it's really fun to play :)

Cool game. I liked the idea. The possibility to change the volume would gave been great, but overall a good entry.

That would be funny if you put police flashlights instead of the cow's hors and the siren sound when they catch you.

Cool idea to harvest something that shields you by being there. Sound is too loud. Got quickly tired of pressing "E" every time, some other way of harvesting would feel much better.

Such a cool concept! Really enjoyed playing and love how original your take on the theme was. Great job!

I like how you can havest all the crops in a row when you stand in the middle of them, pretty satisfying. I think the game would be even better there's a clearer goal set for each level so the player will know what to expect.

Fun little game :) The collision of the player was a bit weird since it looks like he is 1 tile big but sometimes he cant go through a 2 tiles gap but other than that the experience was smooth :thumbsup:

This is a really strong entry! I think the best ludum dare submissions are good at consolidating mechanics so more can get accomplished, here I think combining your objective (the crops) and your cover from vision spheres lead to really tense gameplay and interesting maps! Hats off for that idea.

My one criticism is that there doesn't seem to be a win condition that I've found, but the gameplay still felt exciting and juicy. Congratulations on such a good game!

Very very cool, well done!

The system of "I don't get everything back to keep a cover" is really well found.

I just wish we could see the box that will be harvested.

Cool effect for the day lift !

Simple little game of being a bad neighbor hehe. Spamming "e" got repetitive and I didn't quite know which crop would be harvested when I was standing next to them. There wasn't really a consequence for being caught by the cows since the food stacked from previous levels.

Hello! I loved your game! It reminds me of Tractor Tipping from that old Cars game. The harvesting feels just a bit too slow, plus i did not know that walking back to where u started madde you exit from the level so I did that accidently at the first level. The pixel art is lovely and I love the lazer eyes of the cows. My team also had the though of remaking the game I mentioned so I'm like: Great mind think alike hihi >:3 (we did not end up making that game though so ur clearly better)

Fun idea ! Simple but strong :)

I was a little frustrated by the bounding volume of the player, I can't go between two corns: Screenshot 2023-01-17 124112.png

Nice sneaky music also, well gone !

The more you collect, the harder it becomes. I think you have executed that in a way that is unusual - by making collectibles more than just collectibles. Very nice idea
