LOL what a hilarious and fun little game.

I wish the containers couldn't be dragged through the ground, but honestly the wacky physics were half the fun.

Really glad you made and uploaded this. :)

Who thought bucketing up kernels of wheat could be so fun/stressful. Lol! Great work! I like that the game is deceptively simple and seems like it should be easy enough to complete, but it turns out to be trickier than you'd expect. The physics feel good in that I always feel like I'm to blame when I drop the wheat. The audio is also great with some solid theme music that puts you in the right space, and solid feedback SFX cues that are well balanced. I also love the meme = manual!

HAHA. I literally laughed out loud when I finally finished the game. It felt exactly like that meme XD. I eventually set up a nice row of buckets, and just had one bucket frantically scooping kernels and flinging them into the row. I think it was a bad strategy, but it was mine, and I loved it.

Very funny game. It's immediately clear what to do and how to do it, the act of doing that was fun and smooth, and it doesn't overstay its welcome. Great job!

Any chance of a web version? I would love to give it a try.

@tolmera Unreal Engine's web export is basically deprecated, so it's unlikely. :(

BUT I'm working on a remake (just for fun) in the bevy engine, which has web support built-in, so stay tuned for that!

This a super funny and pretty well made little game. I am super bad at it, and it only makes it more fun to play. Well done.

Fun little game, took a few attempts to get under 100 saved as I kept putting the baskets through the floor xD Good Job

Short and sweet game. The physics were really fun and made the game for me. frantically trying to grab other barrels and crates as they filled up was really intense but great. Yeah I don't really have any criticism for this. It does one thing really well and that's all it needed to do. Good job

A very interesting little game, the physics engine is fun to do, and the music and graphics are great. I enjoyed stacking the grains of wheat like a mountain (although I thought they were potatoes) and I'm looking forward to the subsequent updates! Attached is my best score

Fun game! Physics based jam games are often a little iffy to control (due to balancing / polish in the context of limited time) but this was very well executed. Neat presentation too, especially the outlines.

Fun game, fun music. Good job!

Hilarious game. Well executed idea overall! Very much a QWOP/Getting Over It style game.

I like all physics based games and this is no exception, really satisfying game. Although it's a bit too easy once you realise you can stack the kernels on top of all the buckets and what not without much trouble. Looks good, nice work!

joror 2023-01-21 20:24

Fun lil physics game! The kernels flying all over is pretty fun. Would have loved a mechanic or two for achieving better results.

Cute little game! Was able to do it in the second try by just making a floor and two walls with the boxes which was really satisfying lol

smilewood 2023-01-22 20:20

This game was a great example of fun with wacky physics. It made it difficult to really swap out baskets, but that was half the fun. I thought that this was also a great game for this theme, really leaning into the harvest topic. Well done?

image.PNG Not too bad! Pretty easy game (2nd try) :) though I guess that the hope was that we would use the buckets manually to catch the kernels? Unfortunately I pretty quickly glitched two of the rectangular ones through the floor as may be evident here. Overall super fun! I really enjoyed this -- physics games are fun :)
