I am having some issues to actually play the game. My input or not working maybe I'll come back and play it when it's fixed later? I'm having issue on pc.

Pretty cool concept. I like the idea of having to speed run farming, and it was cool how your past lives could affect your future attempts. I will say that it was annoying to have to start from the first mission every time, although it did push me to really master the beginning of the game. Overall, nice work!

This game isn't getting enough attention! I kinda love it

Blood for the blood god.

Good take on the theme, plays well, fun. GJ!

A fast-paced farming game is a pretty cool and interesting idea. The game is challenging but it's fun. I liked the art too

Excellent game. The polite advice from the pumpkin to stand on some farmland before it mutilated me got a good chuckle out of me, like "I'm gonna kill you, but at least lets make it easier for the next guy", this guy is CEO material. Controls were excellent and my deaths were always owed to my terrible multitasking abilities.

Loved the pixel art and style along with the unique take on the theme. Also thanks for the band idea name; "Blood will make the next harvest plentiful"

This was definitely a fresh concept, it's definitely the first game this jam i've seen that has -you- become the fertilizer :D Quite liked the art, and the audio while simple worked really well!

It's a shame there's no web build because I hope as many people as possible try the game :) (you might want to add a little image to your game page too, it helps when people enter this page, if they see a little of what the game looks like, they're slightly more likely to actually download it and try it out)

Good work!

@kelvin-mulungu Glad to know you enjoyed it :D

didn't understand it at first but wow, the concept is really cool. Kinda like a farming rogue-like! Also, the animation/movement of the pumpkin guy is really cool Good job ^^

Some cool ideas here - I liked the mechanic of unescapable death and that choosing where you die impacts the next run. Controls were intuitive and smooth, although I thought perhaps the timer was a little bit too unforgiving.

Good take on the farming rogue like genre. I like it!

Great job! I loved the pumpkin monster - had a real Freddy Krueger meets Children of the Corn vibe. Also, nice work on the contrast between the two area designs.

What a cool concept! The progression felt really good until I hit the 3rd quest, then it got really stressful and I once to to missing only 2 wheat... but eventually I gave up. I would love to see this with some more balancing and even more challenges. The mechanic of using your death is super cool. Really well done!

A pretty solid roguelike concept! It was fun joggling between different plants.
