WOW, this game is so impressive! Love pico 8 and I love that it's not timed, so it's all about strategy. The art gave me Luck be a Landlord vibes. The music is unobtrusive and an appropriate accompaniment, and the game is balanced well. I would legit actually buy this. A couple bits of feedback, just small: I'd love to be able to see the trucks while I'm picking upgrades (maybe I just couldn't figure it out?) because I forgot where they were and managed to get a canner directing things precisely away from the canned row lol. Props for such a cool game.

One of those pico-8 games where the screen size limitation really hurts. Even then, the presentation is stellar. Game design wise, it has a ton of interesting ideas and the positionality aspect posits a good tactical puzzle. Would love to see further exploration to these ideas.

Nicely-designed PICO-8 game! Lots of different wrinkles in the gameplay to give the player plenty of things to consider when trying to optimize their fruit-processing business. It took me a couple of rounds to discover that pressing down let me peek at the Buyers, which I did often after that. The music loop is pleasant and the visuals are charming. Nicely done.

High score: 188

Thanks for playing! btw a good score to aim for is 1000. One playtester managed to score 10k somehow.

Very cute puzzle game! Hope I can check details of the carts at bottom when placing the upgrades. Interesting idea and it is satisfying to see items got sold and turned to money.

Such a fun game! :D

Hey, awesome game! Very cohesive graphics and sounds that give it a very cute feel, honestly impressive work! gameplay wise my only complaint is regarding buying upgrades, I couldn't exactly remember which store rejected what while placing them so that lead to some regrettable decisions lol. But other than that it's a fun loop that feels rewarding when you make a good pipeline!

Amazing graphics, good sound, but overall the most fun game I've got to play this LD. I found myself retrying multiple times different combinations of machines to be able to maximize profit. In the end you get the most only focusing on two different types and abusing the duplicators.

Very good entry. Loved it.

Super cute game! I got stumped by a malfunction :D Gameplay is quite fun when you get to make good combos. Cloning ftw! Nice music and sound effects, and the art is super nice. Great visual presentation and interface as well. As a pico8 game it seems even more impressive! Very well done for a compo entry.

What a creative game! The art was super cute and the gameplay was really fun. The only complaint I have is that I couldn't see where each of the vendors were while I was placing the machines, so I had to restart my game to memorize the vendor layout.

Very interesting concept! I like how it starts simple and you can improve a lot on your paths, and then fuck up... xD I wish there was ways of removing things, moving them around, rotate them... That would be even more strategic! Congrats on the jam :)

joel-davis 2023-01-11 19:19

@elflashor you can't remove or move things, but you can build new tiles on top of them.

Wow! Cool! First I thought ... mmmh. Then after learning the controls, I thought, nice. Then I saw some random results. On my second run I knew some of the workings, some of the customers and it was fun. On my third run I really enjoyed improving the products! Fun! Feedback: - Graphics: very nice - Sound: ok - Controls: solid, but sometimes felt a bit fiddly (as the Z and X are somehow strange) - Icons for machines: well readable - Changing from fruit to pie to shake to ... nice and well understandable - I did not like that the customers/ shops were hidden when seeing the playfield, i.e. I always forgot what was where and what was rejected etc. I would have liked them to be shown all the time ... I know difficult on a Pico-8 screen - Harvest theme: OK, kind of "post-harvest" what you did, but good! - I love the naming of the products!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Superfancy canned watermelon pie ... not sure if that exists, but the ones I saw were cool! Congratulations!

Nice game, very interesting concept, would make a cool problem solving game.

Great game! Just got 4275 ;) I think you need to limit the number of Clone Jars XD I had 6 in chain, so from 1 fruit I was getting 64 fruits. I was hoping to get more of them, but was unlucky with processors choices. Probably if I would put some other processor at the end I would get even more points. Anyway, awesome game concept!
