Lovely little game, satisfying both breaking and selling them gems. Was fun figuring out how to optimally harvest on the time. With there was slightly more of a goal rather than just beat your own score but apart from that I'm a big fan of what you've done. Lovely art :)
This is absolutely unbelievable. How the heck you finished this in the 48 hours I have no idea.
I was blown away by the concept and the twists, this is such a good entry. 5 stars all round.
Veeeery addictive!
At first I made the mistake of not reading the rules and was one destroying blocks touching each other - though it was a rubbish game haha
But once I realised the rules it became one of my favourite games of this jam
After your suggestion on my post I tried out the game on mobile, didn't quite work I don't think. I got past the dialogue and picked up the matches and gear, but couldn't progress any further than that.
Looks really nice though:)
Well that was great! It probably wasn't broken on phone, it was just hard to click the lever.
I loved the art style and the voices. It's very moody. For some reason the cute and humorous looking art style combined with the very dark themes, music and ending, just made it more unsettling :D
Great job guys
Aw cute lil game there, love the carrot stacking and the sun in the BG 😊

I can't rate your game for some reason... :(
I really like it! I'm impressed how varied the ideas of some of these games are, and I love the setting/premise of yours. One mark of a good game is that you start playing and within seconds, after minimal experimentation you know exactly what you're meant to be doing, and your game achieves that.
On top of that, lovely pixel art, nice sound. Fun!
Only criticism is that the camera is too zoomed in, it's hard to get an idea of where you're meant to be going next, also would like to run faster. Other than that, really great job, especially if you're new to Unity :)
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.
Gorgeous :) Really fun puzzling
Can't believe people are comparing this to Minecraft . It's nothing like Minecraft - I was actually able to find diamond.
Cute little game - would work well as a Minecraft tutorial! - I like your textures better than the real Minecraft ;)
Why is this so addictive?? Strategizing gets surprisingly deep with regards to movement. I really like the style, obviously with the asteroids inspiration. The black hole effect is great. I was playing for a while, but got stuck in a black hole and the reset button didn't work :( apart from that, I loved every second!
Hehe who doesn't love a good physics game? I thought it was very funny, didn't take me long however to realise that if enough stuff falls out of your truck at the beginning and stacks up without touching the ground, you can cross the finish carrying nothing 😄😄
Really fun game
Greeeat game! Love the parallaxing. Honestly my heart does something funny ever time I see a Pico 8 game. I'm a big fan of bit trip runner too so that probably makes me biased 😉
The difficulty was insane.the trial is like hard morde of guitar hero haha
Love the little main dude
Great little game! I played on Android :) nice game loop, felt satisfying planning ahead, using space wisely. I love a hex tile game, something about them, they're always good.
The audio was a bit obnoxious and I don't think added to the game feel much. I would have gone with making it a relaxed calm game. 😁
Thanks for the feedback on my game! I think our games suffer from the same issue - finicky controls. Was hard to pick up fruit a lot of the time, and rolling with fruit was painfully slow and not much of an interesting challenge to begin with but then obviously gets less frustrating if you upgrade.
I really appreciate the level design, it's a fantastic layout and after a while I just forgot about the fruit and went zoomin around as fast as I could - once you have some momentum it becomes really fun to control, but having to slow down to collect fruit, which you have to roll over 5 times sometimes kills the momentum in multiple ways.
I love the hedgehog character, really strong design! Love the little blink.
In the end I had a LOT of fun, but there was a solid 5 minutes of struggle at the start to get to said fun :D
Great job team!
These villagers have taken all the cocaine. It's no wonder they're marked for death.
Thanks for playing my game!
I love your entry!! It's super satisfying getting the multitasking down, I just wish there was some sort of goal at the end. Would maybe be nice to be started off on a slower map and be given larger more difficult tracks to manage when you fill your bar :)
Lovely art
Lovely! Was just looking for a game that i could play on mobile and this popped up! Very soporific/ cathartic/ therapeutic :)
Love its simplicity. I could learn a thing or two about keeping ideas simple. Very effective game.
Edit: why can't i rate your game? Did you opt out of ratings? 🤔
Thanks so much on again for playing my game on stream! You're actually such a chill streamer I'll definitely be back just to say hi :) Harrr-vests is an absolute delight. I definitely think you should expand with lots of different scenarios that are trickier than people realise with large boat movements - firing cannons, drawing tattoos, brain surgery. You know, piratey stuff. Like togis I played multiple times :)
Thanks for the suggestion of a game to play on mobile! It worked great!
Really nice simple little game, just what my brain needs right now, with enough logic to keep me engaged. Really charming drawings/ animations. Great job!
Fun little game, it's got potential. I don't personally think that enemies/the hand should destroy the collectibles, since they kept spawning immediately in front of an enemy or under the hand as it was slamming down and so there was a 0% chance of being able to collect them.
Also the shop just didn't work :D
But I see the potential definitely!
Thanks everyone for your great comments and feedback :)
@lucdeligne - I think that's just the case for the Unity WebGL player, nothing I can do about it as far as I know.
Also I'm not sure how an isometric view would help? since you need to see the structure from all angles including low down at times, but thanks, I'll keep thinking how I could have improved.
@jormarysky thanks for the input man, yeah definitely lots of room to experiment if I wanted to carry this on, which I am tempted to - but just the 3D movement/placement system :)
"-Or put there more reference objects, ground, etc, and place them asymmetric way, so you can always know at what direction you are looking the volume."
- I think this would definitely help. Populated the level was unfortunately the lowest down thing on my list that I actually got to, had big plans for a big farm setting :'(
"-Try implementing snapping for camera. That is what most people prolly find easier to handle. If there is no need for unlocked camera, why ever have it. 45 degrees turns could be enough. It also most controller friendly option, lerp from position to other by press of shoulder button."
- This could be good! It's sort of what Blender and other 3D editing programs do (except orthographic instead of perpendicular), so would be intuitive to some people. Having the ability to switch between free-mode and this would be best.
The negative/conflicting criticism is all good stuff, I just found it slightly funny how perfectly contradictory some of the comments were hehe
Wow this is so different to most ld entries. Was v fun and just a satisfying lil poetry package. that bears got a hell of a digestive system.
This is SO good. The characters and the enemies' designs and animations... *dystopian chef's kiss* I think you really have a scalable game on your hands here if you were to develop it further. I would love to see some more visual /audio feedback on hitting/getting hit but apart from that, everything was there for me, I don't think you could have done much better in the time frame.
Love love love this entry, 5 stars
I love Kang and Kodos simulator
I never appreciated the hard work and level of craftsmanship that goes into making crop circles before, especially when you're a drunk alien octopus fella.
I really loved this game, the style is so on point, really brilliant idea, execution. Unfortunately I could only select the first level :( When I first tried the web version level select worked but then never again, and I downloaded the full version and it was still busted.
Nevertheless, I give it 5 stars! You guys rock.
Love a pico 8 game! Thanks for suggesting it! Just played on my mobile and it worked great 😁
Really charming little game, great character movement. Lovely pixel art
Nice game! Really like the spin and explosion effects and the character design. Nice take on the theme. I wish there was a way to see how much an upgrade costs and how upgraded something is. Apart from that, really solid entry, well done! :)
I tried for quite a while and kept referring back to the tutorial but I still couldn't totally get the hang of the game. I want to try again when I understand a bit more about it so maybe you could explain to me.
1 How the heck does the reclaim system work? What does it do? Sometimes it seems to buy more land, sometimes it does nothing and I have just wasted a bunch of dice.
2 How does extra land help? If you spend dice to buy more land, you can't afford workers to use the land.
3 What does the collect section mean? x(2~6) / x(1~3) / x(0~0) - what does it mean?? :D
4 Does using dice in season 3 do anything? If you use the dice to grow wheat in season 3 a dice number is rolled but the total doesn't go up at all - is this a glitch?
5 Same as last point but for reclaim
6 I rolled a 5 on care, and it gave me 1. I had no negative seasonal effects. Was this supposed to happen.
7 The cost of new farmers goes up to 30 and stays there even in new games - I think this is a glitch.
Overall this looks like a game I would really enjoy, and I was really determined to figure it out because I liked the look of it so much. But I can't figure it out for the life of me, I think you should explain every mechanic in the tutorial. I played about 20 times and couldn't get past year 2. I could never afford more workers, their extra food needs would just kill me every time.
Let me know, would love to come back and play this once I understand it a bit better!!
Really love the UI and music btw :)
Lovely little game! Worked great on mobile, thanks for the suggestion. :)
Was a nice challenge keeping the sheep away while trying not to trample your own crops. The graphics suited the game nicely. Would make a fun full game for mobile
Is that Flowerhead music I hear? 👀👂
Also 12 Hours!? Pinapl, you're cracked.
I really loved the game! The art style is so cute and cohesive, and very satisfying animations on the slimes.
I invested all my money in potatoes and earned nothing. Then as soon as I dg them all up the price of potatoes skyrocketed. Is it possible that I drove the price down? Or is it just random?
