LD52 — Harvest

The Teeniest Seed by Jezzamon 2023-01-22T05:56:31Z

I really really enjoyed this game! It's one of my favorites so far, I think! The vibe is so chill, the puzzles are engaging, and I appreciate that in the later levels I had to restart a few times to finish the puzzle correctly! The art is cute, the characters are cool, and I appreciate that there's story at the top of each level as you go! The mechanics are so interesting, and I think this was one of the most innovative uses of the theme that I've seen so far! Overall, it was an amazing game, and I totally lost track of time playing it. I will definitely be playing this more when I'm in the mood for a chill puzzle platformer. Finally, I super appreciate that you included a mute option for both music and sounds!

It was really hard to see through the trees, as others had mentioned. Other than that, I think the mood was captured well. It was also a whole different perspective on the Harvest theme than I've seen so far!

I think the graphics really suit this game! The animals were interesting and their actions were unexpected. Overall, it was somewhat frustrating due to the controls. Everything felt like it was just slightly off, which made avoiding dangers a struggle. The egg gathering in particular. It seemed like every time the bar had just about been filled, the chicken monster ducked down and I took damage. I did really like the twist with berry gathering at the end, and it got a verbal "WTF" out of me lol. I think the game was funny, and the characters were relatable.

Bungee Pumpkin Harvester by KOHCEPBA 2023-01-23T06:58:27Z

So I think this was a really interesting concept! I did find that it was far more effective to just click quickly on one side of the screen to move. From the beginning, I think the leveling up happens too quickly. Even after I stopped clicking all over the place to slingshot myself across the screen quickly and just moved normally, leveling up interrupted gameplay frequently. Also, I clicked the slow enemies perk every time it appeared, but they never seemed to actually go any slower. Overall, I think the idea is really cool, and it was a neat take on the Harvest theme.

I really like the investigation aspect of the game, it was a cool addition! Overall, I think it was a solid concept!

Harvest Roll by NekuSoul 2023-01-23T06:43:34Z

I enjoyed the game overall, but around the 32nd turn the orders stopped appearing, and on the 35th a ridiculously sized bill popped up. I clicked to pay because nothing else was happening and it ended the game. The graphics are cute and I think it suits the vibe. Harvest Roll SS.jpg

Mun Fields by MadreDeDios 2023-01-10T06:19:45Z

I think this game was really cute and fun! I liked the plants you could grow, and I thought the day/night cycle was implemented well. Overall, it was a cheerful little game and I enjoyed playing it!

E.C.F - Extreme Conditions Farming by dimaswift 2023-01-23T01:29:05Z

I made it to 69 days before I gave up! I greatly enjoyed the game, it was very calming! I absolutely LOVE the way you implemented the How to Play feature! One of my favorite games so far!

Slim Reaper by rustynoob 2023-01-10T05:51:22Z

I think it's a really neat idea, but difficult to play due to already mentioned issues (like the tractor disappearing when it's moving). I wanted to add that one of the cows I spawned in just randomly vanished. I think I only had like 7 of them populated into the game, so I don't think it's because there were too many, and it was too far away from the tractor to have been because of me. I'll end off that the cows are really cute, and definitely a nice touch!

Cream of the Crop by Weirdybeardyman 2023-01-23T06:25:11Z

The clipping through the ground made it a bit of a struggle in the beginning, but I thought the game was well done overall! It was really satisfying once I got the hang of it, and I really like your take on the theme!

Soul Harvest Inc. by Ian McD 2023-01-10T06:27:25Z

I like the idea, and I think the graphic style fits it well! I think the grim reaper is super cute, and I like that you can have other reapers hired on, plus interns!

Mad Moons by GenericPirate 2023-01-10T05:42:47Z

I really liked the graphics! The houses are really cute and I love the texture of the trees and fence pieces! I think this would be really really cool as a full game, and it's really neat that it was just you for this project!

The Hunt for the Legendary Lobster by Ry-for 2023-01-11T05:34:03Z

This was really entertaining! I enjoyed the chill vibes, and I think the graphics were super cute! I was pleasantly surprised by the leaderboard function at the end!

FarmTaker by Onizik 2023-01-22T05:38:18Z

I think this was an interesting concept. A lot of effort was obviously put into the art, especially in the second half of the game. I think the first half moved a bit quickly as you progressed, but more importantly, when viewing obstacles vs. harvestable items, I was a bit confused. The rock and pit were obvious, as were the carrot and potato, but I don't think the obstacles/harvestable foods were consistent so it made it confusing. Overall, the game moved very quickly, and I think more interactive conversation would have added a lot of value in the second half, outside of picking one of the girls, and the ending felt very abrupt. It felt a lot like I was just along for the ride, instead of actively playing the game. I think it has a lot of promise if you want to expand on it in the future, and this is absolutely the kind of game I would play if it were a full game! The character designs were super cute too!

Desdamona by Zebu 2023-01-23T01:12:14Z

This was really cute! The overall vibe was very nice, between the music and the art, and I like that it switches between dialog and puzzles the way it does. I think the characters are really cute too! The only suggestion I would make is maybe adding a mechanic allowing you to keep moving if you hold down one of the movement keys, instead of only moving one space and then no more until you press the button again.

Organ-ized Crime by ZungryWare 2023-01-10T06:07:47Z

I really enjoyed this! The sense of humor in the instructions is great, and I really appreciate the overall mood of the game. I think the first person POV really pulled the whole thing together! I also like that we get to interact with the people instead of just like, picking one and leading them off.

An Arm and a Leg by DaBoombus 2023-01-11T05:21:31Z

I think this was a fun little game! I only got a score of 154, but that's ok lol. I got a bit overwhelmed by the number of cards in my hand toward the end, but overall I enjoyed the game quite a bit!

Dreizehn: Grim Harvest by ScriptMage 2023-01-10T03:53:53Z

This was really nice to play! The main character was really cool!

Harvest of Life by schnodelfactory 2023-01-11T05:30:37Z

I really liked the hand drawn aesthetic! I think it would have been more enjoyable to play if the choices seemed to have more of an impact. Like the job part, I chose to wait for a good job offer twice in a row and nothing happened, so I insulted the officiant, and nothing happened, so I left. Overall, I think it was a solid entry, and I really liked the voice-over bits!

Fish Breeder Simulator by asdgagqeradaagd 2023-01-23T00:47:15Z

This was a cute game with an interesting take on the theme. I think it has a super chill vibe, which is nice. The art style suits the type of game that it is as well :) I would say that having a power plug that ends the game right next to the fish buying/selling area is confusing. I assumed that was just the symbol for adding power to the prepaid electricity mechanic, but instead it pulled the plug and ended the game. (I would like to note that the restart button on the game over screen wouldn't work - I clicked it and it did nothing) It took me a moment to pay attention to the Aquarium/Garage area at the top of the screen, so at first I wasn't sure how to add electricity for a bit. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.
