Great game, i takes some time to understand the gameplay but it's fun once it's done. Scored 1200 on my first try ^^. Pixel art is gorgeous and music is motivating, really nice experience! :o

Great game and awesome graphics! Well done!
This game was really great! Gameplay is smooth, idea is great and on topic, it wasn't too hard to understand, overall a great entry for Ludum Dare! Well done!
Hah! Great! I was chilling to your end of game stream :)
Insanely well done visuals, very consistent and polished. Sound is a bit much but cool as well. Was a bit lost on the mechanics but still had lots of fun with this one
Great polish! The game is a bit clunky but graphics are awesome!
Great gameplay and graphics ! Congrats :)
The one button controls make gameplay engaging! I had fun first learning the ropes and then trying to best my high score. In four tries the highest I got was 1421. The cute alien sets the visual theme well and overall the graphics are top notch. Soundtrack evokes the hurriedness of harvesting the crops. Getting different points for ripe and okay crops (with ripe granting double the points) makes the game just deep enough for repeated play - it's great! Different items introduce some strategy - "should I first get the star, then the direction turner, but ahh there's the rat in the bottle I must avoid!". Randomness of these events makes every try unique but sometimes makes other runs feel unfair (lot's of rats but little extra time and vice versa). Loved this game!
Awesome art, great game design ! I just found the game a little hard to read. 1437 points for me
Very nice amount of polish on this!
This is incredibly polished for a game jam, at least in my experience! Very cool concept, though it did feel like there wasn't much to it after a while, the timers popped up quickly enough and weren't hard to grab. I liked it overall though!
I am always amazed when I see a complete game in the compo. I mean: title screen, game, end-of-game flow. This was right on target on the theme, the controls are innovative, and corn collecting all has some satisfying juice to it. Graphics are impressive, sound does the job. Really impressive, I liked it.
666 points, that's a sign, but I don't know what it means haha!
Gameplay is really more fun than I had expected. Don't know why but it reminds me of classic NES games. Not because of the graphics or sounds, but the gameplay, is just so simple yet so much fun!
Obviously, the graphics are astonishing, one of the best I've seen so far. Sound effects are on point and the audio-visual response to the player is absolutely perfect.
One of my favorites so far!
The pixel art is absolutely gorgeous
Wow really polished, great work! Art and sounds is excellent
Was amazed how complete and polished the game is. Particularly enjoyed the art. A little chaotic at times, which is good in its own way. :)
Wow amazing work ! Feedback, scene transitions and graphics are 10/10 and working well together. Gameplay is simple to understand and super fun. I love it !
Cool game,Nice Graphics,Nice music. Maybe add some levels so I can challenge it. Maybe add a rank so I can challenge others.
This game is amazing! The art and mood both fits the theme and is stunning. The core mechanic of controlling an objects rotation was also totally new to me! Control-wise I found it quite difficult to coordinate on a trackpad.
Great game, nice work on graphics and game design! Love it
I like the art style and the musics.
nice Graphics and music.like it.
Cool concept with an insane about of polish. Really great entry.
Really nice! I like how smooth the spinning saucer is, and the different take on moving around!
great presentation and sound but no idea what I'm doing gameplay wise!
Cool gameplay idea, wish the graphics were clearer and the playspace was larger
This is great, lots of fun, fantastic gameplay. Very polished, a great entry!
Great game!
Very strong and polished entry!!! Very fun usage of the theme, the gameplay feels nice, juicy and natural, the mechanics are fun and somewhat intuitive. The only MINOR MINOR MINOR gripe I've felt is that the colider with the poison bottle seems to be a little bit too big, so there are times where I definetly couldn't dodge it at all. But that's NOTHING. Amazing job!!!!
Really polished and amazing entry! This game rules and with such simple controls! Love the look and could see this on an Ipad anyday! Really amazing work!
Beautiful game! I hadnt realised that the pesticide was bad until after my first playtrhough when i read the instructions haha -- i assumed harvesting humans == good
I had fun with swinging that alien around the crops. 1738 High Score.
controls and idea are at the same time super simple and super effective! (controls were a bit hard to master for me tho)
it was really fun to play and art was cute, great entry!
This is a really good little arcade style game. Good work
super simple but super fun from top to bottom. I would've loved a game like this when my mom wouldn't stop talking to her friend for 15 minutes back when I was a kid
Fun game. I had to stop and go read outside the game to know the controls, and was very confused until I did. Once I understood what to do, it was a very polished experience. The chaos made it hard to understand if I was doing good or not. Thanks for the game!
cool and refreshing gameplay, cute pixel art. that game can be pretty chaotic but that is one of the fun parts. I think make the field larger could be really fun
Omg that was impressive, it's my favorite game so far :D
Simple but interesting game! I got 1677
Innovative gameplay and cute art. The play area was a bit cluttered but it's bearable. I didn't use the slow down at all. Overall really good!
Awesome graphics
I really like this game, it is a funny one !
This was really great! art, sounds the idea all solid very well done! image_2023-01-10_121843466.png
Great artstyle and graphics! Gameplay is hard to understand from start, but i enjoy it after 1 minute
Fun little game! Very well executed. Perhaps a slightly larger play area would benefit gameplay, as I found avoiding the pesticides was next to impossible.
Really nice game! Got up to 1750 after a couple of tries

Incredible game! The graphics are amazing! The music is awesome. Good job ! Had a hard time figuring out things at the beginning though
fun! the alien's expression is really funny, music too.
Really fun game. I like the music and pixel art. It took me a little while to figure out input causing what effects.
I am sorry for resending so many comments. I don't know how to remove them
The art is absolutely stunning, and the mechanic is really innovative.
At first I didn't understand what was going on, but around halfway through my first round I figured it out and had a great time. Also the main character in the portrait has tonnes of personality. Great job!

This game is amazing! Really interesting control scheme that also works really well! Extremely polished and satisfying sounds. Awesome entry LudumDare_Screenshot_05.png
gREAT pIXEL aRT
1500 something on the first playthrough - I didn't really understand what was going on but I did well. then the more I understood the worse I did :D Oh well! The pesticide is hard to avoid
I really enjoyed it though, played a good 10 times, usually when rating games I will move on after just a couple goes. The pixel art is super charming, and collecting them corns is satisfying af.
Very Good game!!! it's difficult to undestand all the things on screen but the retro mood and art are fantastic !!!
a bit overwhelming but fun overall, real nice art !
What a polished and well-executed concept and original idea, kudos! :)
cute game ,great details,although a little hard to control ,,game are is great ,but I need a bigger camera view to see the whole map
Solid game with good mechanics, art and music. I found slowing down a bit useless as there were anyways so many power ups to pick up that focusing on getting those fast was more of a priority. Game play feels very juicy and I could play many rounds to try and improve the score. Great job!
Took me a bit to get the gist of the game. Game is great, but due to the contrast being relatively the same across all objects it was a bit hard to keep track of things at times. Still, a very pretty art style and a very pretty and polished game for just a weekend.
Music and the art really work together really well with the gameplay! Was fun to play, even though I had to get used to the controls first.
Music and art is top-notch!
Time bonus is OP. Also love the face expressions of the alien. :smile:
Here is my playtest:

Really quick and fun game, I loved it! It took me just a second to understand everything (because I tend to ignore a lot of info on the LD page), but after that, I think I did pretty okay (:laughing:)! In my first three attempts, my high score is: 1386! Nice, simple and polished entry, keep it up! :beers:
Already commented and reviewed this game on day 1, but just coming back to say great job! This game is the perfect example of simple concept with excellent execution.
This is a very small game with simple, but a little bit complicated gameplay.
- Graphics are pretty good, I feel some Retro Vibes in combo with sounds / music. Pixels may be way too big though. Playing Full Screen is not recommended. - Controls – It wasn't easy at first 30 seconds, but then I got how to control it. Not the easiest controls you'll see in games, but pretty straightforward when you understand how it works. - Gameplay is not standard, so it's kind of fresh, although I can't say that I like it very much. Still nice for 1 run :) - Game feels complete, although very small and with no goal (I didn't want to play the second time, since I didn't have any motivation)

Very nice graphics ! I wasn't able to expend my circle while pressing Space tho, I don't know the reason
One of the best in this gamejam I've played, very clean and well executed! Great job!
Graphics are super...very well polished game. Great entry
Really cool idea. I thought this made a fun mini game. Perfect for ldjam. Very easy to learn. I enjoyed the theme. Very nice!
Loved the mechanics! Refreshing and different approach to the harvest theme. I liked how you had to only go in a circle. It was really hard to dodge the obstacles in the field though. Good job overall!
Great entry! I managed to get a score of 1000 or was it 1001? i forgot :D Overall i enjoyed my time but it felt a little too chaotic and random, it seemed like i would score roughly the same if i was paying attention or if i was not. The art was off the charts tho!
2009 is my best score ! Really enjoyable game! love the art, the animations, sounds effects.
Nice game! Really like the graphics. It would be nice if you add something more after Ludum Dare, after few tries game stars to be monotonous :)
The gameplay felt a little bit frantic and random, but the visuals were engaging and the sound and music were both great so I still enjoyed it. You already seem to have a pretty good grasp of what went well and what needs work, but Aside from the points you've already outlined yourself, my main sticking point was that the combination of random factors and a very simple control system made it feel more luck than skill-based, so I didn't really feel compelled to keep trying to beat my best score. But, to be fair, this is mostly a knee-jerk impression, rather than a carefully-analysed conclusion.
The rich graphics are just slightly too hard to read and might benefit from some desaturated backgrounds, but everything had such polish that I completely forgive it! All the UI elements felt so right and I never had the feeling something had just been left out somewhere. Cute, complete, and worth multiple plays to see if you can find a better flow. Very little gameplay options are my only complaint, and perhaps a larger play area would have made the player's movements more impactful. The harvester plowing through and the bumper crop upgrade were both impactful and fun. Love the title screen by the way!
Quite the pretty game! Love the color palette. I think audio and visuals feel very consistent throughout and the feedback is nice an juicy :)
In a way you can pick up this game without really knowing what to do and there's not much of a negative consequence for not understanding what's going on. After two rounds I still kind of feel uncertain about whether some of the items and events are a good or bad thing. But I had fun nonetheless!

Looks like a new high score? I think I just got really lucky with extra time pickups. Cute, feels good to play, nice work!
love the visuals on your opening screen. In full screen mode it was a little overwhelming and intense, a bit hard to distinguish between the different elements, they started to all look pretty similar. overall fun entry!
very fun and original! love how chaotic it feels, yet really simple to understand. nice work!
funnY!
Very polished game! Super consistent art style thorugh the entire game. The gameplay felt a bit hectic and I didn't feel as much in control as I would have liked and I couldn't really make many decision. But when I got some good bounces of it was a super enjoyable experience.
Very fun game! Personally I liked the speed and chaos, although I did find it difficult to dodge the pesticides - perhaps some indication of where things will spawn or have them in a "ghost" state for a second to give players more time to respond? I ended up playing it through multiple times though, so it definitely has an addictive quality :rofl: great work!
Wow amazing game. Reading through some of the suggestions and comments i actually think it would be better to make the field much much larger. Almost 2x or 3x the size to give the player room to utilize the core mechanic of the spacebar and mouse button. The smaller field limited me to how much i played with that and mainly just went fast with spacebar held down and then alternated lifting the spacebar and the mouse button to get tighter circles. It become pretty route after a bit and i felt i needed a much much bigger play area so as I spun around i should miss stuff and then work at getting just the right combination of spacebar and mouse button to get the distance and speed i need to pickup the crops i previously missed.
A bigger play area would also allow you to slow down the crop growth (reducing the frantic ness) and then maybe throw in some - if there is less than 20% crop on the field speed up the growth rate - so as to keep the player engaged.
Overall - this is likely one of the best Jam games i've played so far though but these few improvements would definitely make it next level and help balance out the game.
I got a score of 1050! Really polished and tight game! Loved the pixel art and arcade-y sounds and music that fit really well. It was really hard to avoid hitting the pesticides so I tried to use them when I'd collected most of the crop. The frantic nature of the game helped add to the fun! I wasn't sure if I was support to avoid the harvest truck though, I guess it just cleared parts of the screen? Great work though!
Nice work! There is a lot here, I think with some game design iteration to achieve the right sort of "action tension" it could be really fun!
I'm not sure what I'm doing with strange control but I harvested the crops fine. I grabbed specimens and anything shiny I could grab. This game feels good for casual players.
Nice casual little game with pleasing controls and power ups. Score care is great. Good little entry!
Graphics are very nice, and gameplay has some variety to it with all the events and power-ups happening on the field. Nice game overall, but it feels somewhat chaotic, like I just randomly mash the buttons and I'm not really in control. I think children will enjoy it a lot though
Fun spin on the theme. This may be caused by my lack of skill in this game, but it was almost impossible for me to dodge certain obstacles. Good job
Love the concept and incredible art!!!
Incredibly clean work for a solo effort, very impressive! It can be a bit tough to distinguish the powerups from the ones with negative effects but overall great!
Great game! Not much to add to that. Maybe Hay Bale could be used to hit harvester to stop it from collecting corn? Anyway, well done with the game!
This game was pretty cool. I love the simple execution. It makes it super easy to get into and play.
It was interesting. It was not as easily understood when I initially played it once. Usually I play the game without reading instructions or finding out control fig. But this one I had to so that I can give it a fair grade. Once I understood the controls I had enjoyed it better. Good play through.
