Strange Orchardist by BoxedMeatRevolution 2023-01-12T07:09:00Z

Cool game! So my first thought was that is was really tight. I managed all the levels but only barely. Like milliseconds left, and I failed multiple of them multiple times before figuring the right routine out. Then after I closed the game down, I saw there was an mid-air-dash, and I think that might have been handy. xD

Anyways, great game. Far more action packed than the music insinuate. Really snappy. Looks good. Addictive game play, and fun levels. I felt challenged throughout the game, and satisfied when I completed the level with 0.3 second left.

Really solid entry!

The Last Straw by Reflextions 2023-01-09T21:37:37Z

Opening is really cool. Also really like the graphics, and the controls are fine. I would add some indicator on where you exactly need to be, to deliver the crops. I would also maybe add so the same scarecrow cant hit you 3 times in a row so quickly. Something should at least prevent that you die within 1-2 seconds of the game starting.

But overall really cool game.

Galactic Garden by MartensCedric 2023-01-09T21:22:59Z

Really like the game. Good concept and well executed. I would have expected different physics on the ship, but you get used to it quite fast. Also I played like 4 times, and you die really easy at first. You really need to harvest something as quickly as possible so you can buy upgrades, else you get obliterated. I really like the detail that your energy is both the currency and you health.

Reaper by aevek 2023-01-10T05:41:11Z

Awesome game! Good feel on jumping around (although I would stop picking up souls interfering with your jump, that's a little annoying), satisfying sounds, but most of all really nice atmosphere in the simple art. Old school and cool. The levels where good. The later actually a bit hard, which where good. Lot of difference in them, and I loved the zooming on and out. The pixel art worked really well at the different zoom levels. Really good entry!

Avian Reaper by MaximBegunov 2023-01-10T08:08:38Z

I really like this game. It's frustrating (hard? not easily understandable mechanics), but lots of potential. Cool atmosphere, and sinister theme. Really nice entry.

Harrr-vest by jaj 2023-01-11T23:33:15Z

Lovely story, good music, and generally well executed. Though I missed a 'prev sentence' button, as I miss clicked a couple of times. I like the questioning in the court, making it way more interactive than most visual novels. The theme is.. stretched, to say the least. But good entry.

Agricultural Ascension by Sibi 2023-01-09T22:20:15Z

This is great. Interesting puzzle game. The name is first of all amazing. But besides being an interesting game based on a really simple mechanic, you have managed to create an aesthetic and sound image, that gives me this feeling that there is something here we don't see. It makes me question what I'm doing. What is point in arranging these plants in specific patterns. And for who? Really great job in my humble opinion.

Jack the Reaper by FabDynamic 2023-01-11T03:45:36Z

Nice little game. Controls where good, and graphics is simple but clearly communicate. Good entry!

Harvey's Tiring Job by Maka 2023-01-09T20:50:13Z

Catchy tune, and cute graphics. Annoying physics, but I guess that's part of the charm and what makes it difficult. Overall nice entry.

2024: a spacing game by Ekoxe 2023-01-11T03:35:54Z

Cool concept. Like the atmosphere, and the base concept of mining planets is cool. Would love to see more features. Good entry!

Reap 6 (2 players) by VerttiXPertti 2023-01-11T04:41:56Z

Fun idea, and well executed. First physics-based game I've seen of the games. I would maybe add some indication on what is needed to make a complete man. Also some background music would have been really nice. Good entry!

Charles, the Bee by Blue Pin Studio 2023-01-10T04:30:55Z

What a good spin on the theme. Felt really hard to dance, but I somehow managed to go through each stage non the less. Nice graphics and good dance tunes. I would however consider to implement some sort of feedback (other than you getting points) like a sound or a visual cue, when you get the dance move right. Overall really good entry.

Harvest Dune by rrsmtz 2023-01-11T05:12:10Z

I saw one of your wip posts, and was really envious. When the theme was announced I really wanted to do something with spice harvesting, as I'm a big fan of the Dune universe. But as this was my first game, I wasn't sure if I could make something fitting, so I hope for a theme in upcoming Ludum Dares where I can do some Dune stuff.

Anyways. Excellent game. Well explained. Nice controls. Really loved the scouting mechanisms (although spamming it feels wrong). Took me 3 attempt to win, and would have loved for there to be more levels. Music is awesome, art is awesome. Theme is 5/5.

Loved it.

Hobo Harvest by magicstunts123 2023-01-11T22:22:31Z

Love the theme. Love the cardbox design on people. Great game. !

Root Boy with Legs by shreemp 2023-01-09T21:49:10Z

Short yes, but a really nice foundation to build open. There isn't much, but I like what I see. I guess the 'walking-sound' could get annoying in the long run, but in this short game, it just helps with making the character seem really cute.

BEANSTALKERS by HexyVexy 2023-01-11T03:27:36Z

Really cool game. But also really hard. When the mushrooms comes, I'm toast. Just not enough damage to deal with them. Game feels good. Wish I could upgrade my attack speed with the scythe though. Super entry!

Leviticus by guigger 2023-01-09T20:58:00Z

Controls? I Think I managed to plant a seed, and I can run around. Either a control explanation, or some visual clues to what you are expected to do would do wonders. The game looks nice though.

The 35th Tri-Annual Blitheport Harvest Day Jamboree by redoplus 2023-01-10T05:16:45Z

Wauw, this was unexpected. Extremely good and fun game. First impressions from the screenshot was bad, mostly because of the art style which isn't bad, just not to my taste. But as soon as the game started I was sold. The sounds? The music? The gameplay? And even after a few minutes in the game, I started to like the art style. All brilliant. I especially liked the game where you had to punch each other out of the way to get photos. I would maybe have made multiple zones so you would get most points for standing closest to the photographer, but still great. I played it multiple times just to hear the voice overs of all four vegetables.

Man what a great entry. With some more content and a bit of polishing, this could be a great party game.

Raven Harvest by Cafe Spectrum Studio 2023-01-10T04:44:03Z

Great prototype. I really like that there is individual ticks on each plant, so you need to do different actions all the time. Good foundation to build more game play upon. Good job.

MONDO LABS by cannibalgirl 2023-01-11T03:09:36Z

Nice game. Hard to understand first, but really cool when you get the grip of it. 5/5 would beat cancer again.

Useless harvest by JustAdy 2023-01-09T22:07:35Z

Really repetitive just to get to the first new seed. I think this could be a fine idle game where you both can manual do the job, but also slowly upgrade so that it does the work on it's own. Still a nice entry though. Pro tip to anyone trying it. You can plant/harvest multiple fields with the same click, if you position correctly.

Combine Harv-racer by procrasteroid 2023-01-10T03:45:00Z

I just came from your review on my game, which have a very similar theme! Really like your entry. My first thought when I started it up, was that I should have gone with banjo music too! Also I believe I've killed more cows in one game here, than in all my playtesting of my own entry. xD

Graphic is continuous and good. Music is banger, and makes it so much better when you start getting up in speed. All in all really nice entry!

BLOOD HARVEST by drowsy 2023-01-10T04:12:55Z

Really great game! Lost multiple times, and I'm still not sure what makes the braziers go out, but I manage to squize in a win after 6-7 games. Lovely atmosphere. The music and sound effects are really helping. Graphics is good, and the minigame simple but quick and fluent, (it could use a streak counter though). Overall amazing result. Enjoyed it!

Eat your fruits by aduermael 2023-01-11T23:50:50Z

Game is pretty, and the atmosphere is good. Gameplay is simple but fun. The controls are a bit unsatisfying. It's very hard to jump around as your horizontal speed is really high. Just climbing up the stairs from the bottom of the map, took many tries, even after playing for a bit. Theme is stretched. But good entry.

Shred-A-Bunch! by HayriCakir 2023-01-10T06:22:57Z

Amazing game! Music is great, art is good. Movement is weirdly janky yet still really fun and amusing. 5/5 would harvest zombies again. Only bad thing is that I harvested all the sunflowers and killed all the zombies, and didn't get recognized by the game for it. :( So I drove of the map.

Great entry!

Combine Competition by CuteSquirrel 2023-01-09T17:40:04Z

Yeah, I wish I could unpublish the game. I'm trying my best to get the embedded version to work. Probably some issue with Phaser's way of loading images is blocked by the page. Not sure I'll make it in time though. :(

Combine Competition by CuteSquirrel 2023-01-09T18:54:42Z

I've uploaded it on an external server instead. Can't get it to work through the embedded solution.

Combine Competition by CuteSquirrel 2023-01-10T05:26:05Z

@aevek Thanks for the lovely feedback! I'm so happy you figured that out! I made the ai-movement before implementing fence and cows, so I wasn't sure if it would actually hit them without any changes, but it did, and I quickly found it to be the most enjoyable part of the game, to just see the ai wreck havoc.

Soul Harvest by twilightrh 2023-01-10T06:02:19Z

Good game. Really nice art, and the movement feels good. Some good sound effects when hitting the enemies would really nail the feel. I like the gameplay, but I find that the enemies doesn't spawn quick enough. I get impatient just waiting around for them to come, since they don't seem to be standing around the map waiting for me.

The background ambience is actually really nice, but a weird fit to the art theme.

Overall good game. I could easily see this as a good candidate to be further build upon and polished.

Attack of the shapes by DaviD4C 2023-01-11T04:34:14Z

Really fun, maybe the entry I've spent the most time on so far. However I have some pointers.

It doesn't feel like the speed upgrade actually does anything. You feel slow even when you put a lot of points in it.

No ending? At some point the shop stopped coming, and I just shot away for 8 minutes until I ran out of ammo. Ended at 500k points though.

I believe you don't take Pythagoras into account when setting the velocity of the ship? That makes it so you move faster by always moving diagonal, which feels bad as you feel slow for just moving on one axis.

The theme is really vague here. I get that you gather resources by killing the enemies. It's fine, but a bit weak in terms of the theme.

Music and graphic was fine. Enjoyed playing it. With a bit of polishing I would love playing it more.
