You have a nice base for a game there. I think it is lacking a bit of information to the user what is happening. From time to time my character popped to the center. Did I beat the game? Or die? Some music or audio would be nice also. I liked your pixel art and the character movement felt good also.

Hello guys! I went to a trip and sadly couldn't finish my game as intended...

But I am back now! So I'll be rating all the games I can because I know the importance of getting a feedback!

Also, I would be really grateful with your rating too.

**Thanks!**

@spacecadet **Couldn't agree more!** I planned on adding some music, sound effects, menu and a lot of extra details. Sadly, I haven't had enough time.

But I really enjoyed what I was going for and I pretend to go onto **Updates for the game!**

I love the cute sprites, but it is unfortunately a very unfinished game. I hope you continue to work on it and get the game to where you originally planned! Good luck and thanks for submitting :)

It's a nice base. If you had more time i'm sure it would be nice!

oiluuuj 2023-01-14 22:55

@almax @chispalbc Thanks! This is what I'm planning to do. I'm of course going to invest more time towards **Updates** for the game!

Sadly not much of a game here. But good start and solid concept. Not very far from having a nice simple gameplay loop. Keep it up!

Although I can't access Google, I played your game through HTML! I think its production is a bit hasty, and seems to be incomplete. Focus on participation! Good job!

The game has a nice look.

Not much more that I can add that hasn't already been said. It's a good basis to expand on; I actually like how speedy the main character is compared to similar games, so potentially build upon that and make a fast melee based roguelite?

oiluuuj 2023-01-15 17:59

@codeforjoycaro I've always had **interest** in this **aesthetic**, finally made a game with it!

@amkingtrp **Totally!** The idea is to make a way of **upgrading the farmer**. Also, I think it will be a good idea to make the **scythe rotate** around him, I found it difficult to hit enemies with the actual scything behaviour.

The **rotation** would be something similar to games like **Harveyster** made by @almax

Yeah, kinda sad you didn't get to add more, but that's how it goes. Maybe next time, good luck.

gabrimer 2023-01-16 02:19

Feels a bit too short and empty at it's current state, but has a very promising start! The visuals are okay, and the mechanic is not bad. Maybe some sound would've added a bit more to the experience as well. Looking forward to seeing what else you can make!

Hey there! I'm curious to why there's no itch.io page for this if you have a web build? I couldn't get it to run on your LD page, unfortunately.

vivek-sharma20 2023-01-16 05:14

Hey good job on completing the game. Poits for animation, particle effects. I wasn't left with time for that. Game mechanics is fun but maybe enhancement in terms of enemies and weapons will make it more interesting. Also does the game gets difficult as time passes on or you reach a particular score?

christian-zommerfelds 2023-01-16 06:54

The game feels nice, and I like the animations/effects!

The biggest issue IMO is that it's not clear that you get hurt and why the game resets. Maybe a health bar, or some damage effects or sounds would help. Of course, to finish the game it would be nice to add a goal, like a time highscore or even better, some way to beat the level.

Good job!

oiluuuj 2023-01-20 00:08

@gabrimer **Thanks!** I also think **sound** makes a huge part of the game, **already working on it!**

@teenythanos Yeah, unfortunately, I haven't had the time to upload on itch.io. But I'll add **future updates** there! You can check it out [**here**](https://oiluuuj.itch.io/harvest)

@vivek-sharma20 Sadly, no, the game don't actually gets harder. But I'm thinking in some **game mechanics** to make it more **interesting and challenging**. Eg. **Plant new bushes!**

@christian-zommerfelds Yey, I just improved the **hurt feedback**, it is now clearer when you and your enemies get hit! You can check out the **new version** I've been working on in [**my itch.io page**](https://oiluuuj.itch.io/harvest)

oiluuuj 2023-01-20 00:14

Updates

I have just **updated** the game considering your feedback!

You can check it out in my Itch.io Page [**here**](https://oiluuuj.itch.io/harvest)
