Retrospective Sparks by kikiriki367 2020-04-23T14:49:23Z

@pilarius : Thank you for the reminder!

@darksaytan : Thank you on your feedback it really helps us as we are planing on polishing the game a bit! But we will do it in the post ludum dare release. We really thought the same thing on most of the problems that you have mentioned but we just didn't have enough time, soo if you return in a week well have another download version with many of those fixes!(And the repeated message is just funny so no need to be sorry!)

Retrospective Sparks by kikiriki367 2020-05-07T13:46:45Z

@kent-reese We werren't really but at the end point we realised we did it by accident...

@supercool-guy No you're not dumb the problem you were expiriencing is something we had a fair few times but didn't have time to fix it till now! Now the game will tell you the way how to progress which is going to bed...

@denis123 No need to be sorry and thanks to darksaytans, your and @natpat 's comment we have made changes to it and thank you for your great insight!

@bearding8 @amarillion Yeah were having the same problem as many puzzle games in a sence that our logic is a bit off! The first question especially... So we added the downloadable answers aswell now if you wish to speedrun the game or just skip a certain question! Also the assist mode changes the color of the text when you hover over an important objects.

PS. Thank you all for playing and giving us great feedback!

Enchanted Scarecrow Gone Wrong by Skosnowich 2023-01-13T20:03:56Z

Nothing smart to say, but i still wanted to say... Great game, a chefs kiss *muah*, perfect!

Cool entry! I just wish i saw the cute Mr Beast a 2nd or 3rd time! :))

Kingdom's Logistics by Hadik 2023-01-16T05:37:57Z

Its a really cute relaxing game to play while listening to some music. I wish i could see how fast the things get made, like 3 bread/min or something like that. And like others said it needs a little goal or something to work towards ooooorrrrr just let us zoom out the camera and then i would definetly play it for longer trying to fill a big part of the map up making a beautiful kingdom. Oh that can be a goal, making a kingdom, like 100 workers, 1000 gold for a castle building :))... But all in all a really neat game! My little village :3

God knows this is a reskin of Insaniquarium Deluxe from CapCom... God knows i lived on that game as a kid and played it too much... And of course god knows i did also love this game because of it! lol Sadly my APM is really slow at this point so i had to accept defeat at this point.... And also because at this point ill get carpal tunnel in about 15 minutes! xD

A Day in the Life of Death by DDRKirbyISQ 2023-01-18T00:47:04Z

Yup there it is, my perfect game of the jam! :heart: I dont know if this is against the rules to say, and i hope it isnt... But this is my perfect 5 of a game. I love anything and everything about it, its simply a masterpiece! Did i even stutter saying it?!? Trust me not stuttering and saying all this is complicated for the Swedish Chef but i really mean, perfect 5/5 on all accounts, love the game, love you, thank you for making my day better! :heart:

Ozera by alexrose 2023-01-12T02:49:40Z

The New game button doesnt work very well i think. Upon starting again the crops that were already planted stay there but they cant be used for anything. And i wasnt sure what im suppose to do once i grow the plants, what was the point of the oven... Is there a chance you could give me some hints? Becuase i would love to finish the game! The graphics, sound and mood are 5/5 no brainer! So it is a really beautiful entry, good job!!! :D

Harveyster by Almax 2023-01-19T03:04:47Z

This is a really bad game... Because of one reason only and that is, that it has an ending! You seem to work like a great cohesive unit, good job! Everything is great, and the game deserves a big chefs kiss! *MUAH*

Harvest Hewn by bwalter 2023-01-20T05:21:59Z

A great game by every standard! I only wish that i couldev sold my veggies on the last day also, seeing that i had a lot of them stashed for no reason... :)) But even with that, i hope you are proud of me!

harvested.png

Harvest Hewn by bwalter 2023-01-21T02:53:22Z

Oh okay, thats possible... Then just telegraph that and add more levels, because im still hungry for more! And what can i say, the chef brought a boom boom to the saloon pretty early on!

Grim Harvest by automatonvx 2023-01-12T04:39:22Z

A bit more level variety in mechanics and looks and you have a pretty solid game here! cheers!

Feast of Gévaudan by hunttis 2023-01-26T11:56:57Z

The main gameplay loop is great, it feels like playing a Moba and kitting the whole time! And the music is top notch i really loved it :)) Only issue i had, and sadly it is a big one... The camera needs to adjust a lot slower or even not at all. It feels like a game where its okay to be centered without any offset. Because if you play for longer than 20 minutes this way, your head starts hurting really bad... But all in all i tried your game and all i can say is, that it was really...

delicious.png

Bittersweet Harvest by moonlightbomber 2023-01-24T18:16:16Z

A good start to a story, but i really feel like more choices should be added. Even if they are unimportant to the plot like choosing between coffee and tea for exampl. They give the player agency and maybe some replayability. Good luck in the global jam! :))

The Orchid's Edge by Cornflowerblue 2023-01-18T00:18:15Z

If it works, why change it? :))

@soonthespoon Like everyone else i was surprised how its possible to make such an amazing game like this in just 3 days. But im fairly certain it was, seeing your previous entries. They have all been similar and they all worked and were good, just like this one! So at this point you have a solid 3D game engine of sorts i would say! nice :))

My Reaper Garden by ThiefViolinist 2023-01-25T19:19:29Z

Wow, im really glad i made that post... This is a game like BPM(if you dont know it check it out)... Its simple, its 1 mechanic, no complexity just basic. But that gameplay loop! OOOF! Its just... OOOF I LOVE IT! And i have so many random incoherent remarks so i hope you dont get lost... - I played a game this jam called "Shred a bunch" and it was about a combine with which you harvest things avoiding zombies. I tried to hard to spin around as much as possible to do the scythe move from this game just for fun lol. Sadly it wasnt very supported to do so in that game... - I dont know if you have fast food thin pancakes where you live, and if they are made the same way so this might sound strange. But i felt like i was making one! xD Likes smoothing over in circles, ah it was so satisfactory! - I want more out of this, route A add a timer, so we see beautiful compilations of people cleaning the levels in one ballet like dance... Or B make a Vampire Survivor game like this... Or C both! Or D, tell me if you wont do it so i can steal the idea and not feel guilty about it! Im not joking please tell me... :3 - I really hope you get to your 20 ratings, since this is a really amazing small mechanic that i would love to see being further worked on. Good luck! :heart:

PS. your link doesnt work!

Flavors of Victory by Kyrio 2023-01-20T02:31:57Z

It has amazing graphics! Really jazzy music! An innovative gameplay that i really liked! It also reminded me of my old days before i became famous on that show! Ahhh the simple cooking days! It was a bit hard to understand the recipes and how they work. But as a professional chef i am i figured a special recipe of mine! It seems that the best strategy is to copy your opponent but just do it 1 level above.. So if they have "savory 2" and "crunchy 1", you go "sweet 2" and "squishy 1". Its a shame that once figured out its all simple cooking, that i hope gets to be a bit more complex. But god knows i still played just to see all the different meal looks! Great game i enjoyed it very much! :))

Sow'n'Reap by PhilStrahl 2023-01-20T08:50:49Z

Looking forward to your Post Mortem if youre going to do one... Really relaxing game that suits your style really well. Oh and i forgot to use scroll at all and still finished the game lol! So maybe it needs to be a bit harder

Alsooooo does this make me the best because i was the fastest boy?! :D.

Nightmare Containment by frozenfire92 2023-01-13T08:16:49Z

Great graphics and i really liked the gameplay it reminded me a lot of the House... I love the gameplay loop where you repeat the day until you get all the timings and positions right is so satisfying. I really enjoyed playing it and thank you for making it! :3

Harvest Construct Produce Destroy by oillen 2023-01-24T12:54:17Z

So making an RTS for a jam is really ambitious like everyone said, and its amazing that you got this much done! And the inspiration from warcraft+starcraft games, and that terran marine death sound brings a lot of good nostalgia.. :)) That being said, you order a portion of nitpicking from the chef, so here it comes!

***Small(jam versions) nitpicks:***

-Unless the install version has something unique compared to the zip one, id say its better to just remove it since its a bit confusing!

-Add so that the Escape gets you back to the main menu instead of quitting the game. Since once the player starts the mission he has to finish it or reload the game.

-The F1,F2,..,F12 keys these days are commands for laptops so they are unusable in a way.

-The 2nd mission where you need to gather 5000 resources shouldnt have red crystals in it, since getting your hands on one also means that you finished the mission in a way. So just having only trees and a few blue minerals here and there feels more balanced.

***Big(post-jam versions):***

-The collision boxes for units should be a bit smaller. Without a fully polished movement system this will help a lot with moving around the map..

-Look into the A* search algorithm, it takes a bit of time to understand it but once you do its a really good way of making AI movement in most games! I know there was a really good tutorial on "The Cherno" YT channel but it was in Java so i dont know if that helps. Also its good because i see that you made a map using a grid system which means you already have a great base for it!

-The A* system is also great for AI that fights back!

***Extra:*** I saw you did a lot of similar games like this during the jams. So my advice is to try and reduce the scope of your projects, or joining a longer jam so that you have enough time to really make the game you wanted! :)) These are all great basis, but making a full RTS is impossible in the short span that is given for LD. So maybe make some hybrids by cutting out certain parts out, like Legion TD, Tooth and tail, They are billions etc... Good luck i hope i get to see another strategy game from you in the jam to come!

Anne & the Carrot Islands by bobo_oh 2023-01-13T21:35:33Z

Only thing that comes to mind is "How?"... Also i guess 2 things, is this "Ann with an E"? :3 And i guess the third thing, i love it!!

Horn of Abundance by fusionnist 2023-01-14T04:18:03Z

Will there be an online version, or is everyone unwilling to install .NET doomed to suffer in never playing this beautiful game? :((

Revengetables by adam-gould 2023-01-18T02:58:17Z

Damn so close to an amazing game!!! Adding some sort of score for us to reahce for would have elevated this entry so high! But since there is no score... sadly theres not much to strive to... unless im wrong? But i lll have to just add the voice acting is amazing and it deservers a 10/10!

Avian Reaper by MaximBegunov 2023-01-13T03:23:31Z

Art wise this is my favorite game by far at the moment! I really love the esthetics and the mood! Ill definitely play a lot more these days trying to suck less at it! And its a big plus that it has simple mechanics that evolve into a complex gameplay! i love it and i think you did an amazing job! I really hope you get to be among top 10 for the amazing art you did! :D.

Puppet show! by mitus 2023-01-16T10:52:24Z

This is fucking hilarious i loved it! :laughing: I cant say anything about it more than that.. Its simply perfect... And the i swam through those fields of watermelons, my symphony of moves, my grace, my... It was art...

Cattle Juice by Togis 2023-01-14T20:47:39Z

Hey cool game! Im someone who cheeses games a bit, so im not sure if im the only one that did this... But a great strategy seemed to be rushing USA, using the cheapest units to herd the humans and just bombing them. So the upgrades were kind of obsolete and buying bobms+cheapest units worked pretty well! But i see you added a no bomb mode so thats going to be an interesting one i might try to beat as well :))

Pachinko Farm by Vony256 2023-01-13T03:49:28Z

As Peggle and every pachinko machine its great fun.. But as every pachinko machine i struggle to win more than once! Its tough as nails but a fun one, good job!

Typefarmer by Antti Haavikko 2023-01-13T00:31:49Z

The starting of other words when finishing the last is a bit annoying true. But it could be fixed easily by not punishing players when they double write the same first letter of the word, like a bool value. But more importantly it can lead to an interesting puzzle game :)) Like a level where you have 5 words which have similar endings/beginnings and then figuring out how to clean all the plants in least button presses possible... Sorry for the digression :D.

Apart from that the game is great, simple yet really polished and fine tuned to make it a great experience!

Seasons Reapings by Kale the Quick 2023-01-12T03:10:17Z

Cant load the game also :((

The Ballad of Eric Hernandez, Cattle Rancher by GeraldFIngBurke 2023-01-16T04:27:36Z

Simply a national treasure! Chefs kiss *muah*!

Hex-Yield by AndideBob 2023-01-24T17:24:57Z

***Mechanically:*** -This game has everything it needs wrapped in a small cute bundle! Also honey-poneys comment is on point. For the compendium it does need a bit more love, and i would say that it might fit well doing it in the style of "My little inferno". What i mean is instead of ??? adding little punny jokes or hints that would steer the player in the right direction.

-The main gameplay loop of your game depends on the number of combinations and the curiosity of the player, so focusing on more combinations is what you should bet on!

-Depending on how many combinations you end up, maybe a mechanic of somehow saving the "late game" tiles would come in handy. Not having to start from the beginning, giving a sort of progress with each run.

-Lastly adding smaller objectives or quests in the style of "Dorf Romantik" could give a more gameplay focused feel than just explorative if that is something you aim for.

***Graphics and mood:*** They get a chefs kiss! And a big one at that! **MUAH** Keep them exactly as they are and keep them complimenting the games mechanics further!

***Extra:***I think this game does really have potential. It seems to fall into the category of Dorf, Islanders, Airborn kingdom and such... Depending on the amount of content it would be fair to price it between 5-20$. That being said maybe a really good way of doing it would be making a base game that costs 5$, and then rolling out expansions for 5$ that give new tile sets. I wish you all the best of luck and hope you make a great full release! As for me, ill give you a follow and drop a sneak peak if you ever post anything here :))

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-10T17:43:53Z

@iluvatar First of all i have to say..........Great name! Yeah truth is i opened random assets i got from Humble Bundle years ago and decided which to use before even making a game. And i really loved it to be honest! :))

@mortith I'm really glad that you enjoyed it, i hope you didn't get stuck too early on though... :(

@szieberth-adam Your wish is my command, you can now download the game for windows if you want to!

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-11T21:18:05Z

@shay-kopf Yeah i realized it, but since it was a jam i didnt have much time to do so, also i was thinking of it ending up being a roguelike of sorts so thats why its from the beginning... Thanks! :heart:

@lagerbe Theres 4 islands in total so you were really close to finishing it! And if you do you get a cool view of all your islands! But still great job!!! :D

@automatonvx You got everything right. So the placement is important. The point is for you to think ahead, placing trees first so you get better houses. And you place houses to get apples, and to be able to put better markets. So they mis with each other... And yeah starting with a bad hand you should just restart, but in future islands you can just "Refresh" your shop by spending apples. Ultimately losing score a bit but still saving precious room! :D

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-11T22:24:25Z

@szieberth-adam Thanks a lot! And your islands look lovely! Especially the 3d one with that row of forests :heart: The bugs are fixed!(Leftover from the Html port) I love that you played it again and until the end!!!

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-12T21:48:05Z

BEFORE YOU READ YOUR COMMENT! I want you all to know that i appreciate all of you playing the game a lot! And giving me constructive criticism! Also for everyone that posted a picture of their island i thank you even more and i love seeing the different ways you all built the same islands! Thank you for playing my game! :heart:

@szieberth-adam Yeah the game at the ending turns into avoiding markets at all costs :D.

@bigwhiteshogun Youre not dumb at all! Its a simple mechanic but i dont know a single person that didnt get confused by it in some way :)) Even after playtesting it a fair bit i realized i needed an extra tutorial level or two.. But i feared of boring the players to death with the text screens! Also i was thinking of further making the game and maybe porting it for mobile(PS you can blay it on the phone already in browser!) as well since its built for it also, sooo you read my mind! Yeah the UI is a bit tricky and all but making it this way saved an hour or two of my very limited time durring a busy weekend. But it is the first thing on the list to edit out! Also thank you so much for your comment, it means a lot to me and it made my day, or even a week for sure! :heart:

@dekajoo Yeah i realized i need an extra tutorial level for that rule since every single person that played the game was surprisedby it hahahha

@skosnowich Yeah the soft lock is there to make sure to explain the importance of placement and building your island to the fullest. Since without those two core mechanics a lot of people would find it impossible to finish the game. :)) But ill see if i can think of some other better way to do it! ALSO its not that easy of a game, it is not extra challenging so that most people can finish it, but getting the high number of apples is for the people who do good. And you sir, and im not being nice, did amazingly well! I play tested the game with a few people and they would be on edge of finishing it when first playing. Soooo you should feel great about yourself! I think you did as well as i did when i played and i was testing the game for days!!! (Your castle island is also super cool!)

@antti-haavikko I will segment this comment so its more readable! 1.Yeah the random deals at the start are meant to be restarted. I was thinking of giving extra refreshes at the start to balance it out, but no matter how you spin it by not restarting you would start with a handicap. And for later stages the refresh button at a cost of apples is there to balance out the randomness a bit. 2. The tutorial islands make a point of that, and force you to actually fully build the first island to be able to finish the tutorial even! But i guess i should do it more clearer in some way :)) 3. The other things you hit right on the nose with them! They are all there on my TO-DO list but sadly had to be cut because of the time constraints and a busy weekend! Thank you for all the input and if you have any more please write it here! Im thinking of working a bit more on this game and any input on how to improve it, or what you would like to see is greatly appreciated! And ill see to maybe add them to a non LD version of the game :))

@harmadillo Yeah i know what you mean, sadly its would take a bit of time. And also i was thinking of rather restarting an island to make a few kingdoms like this each having its own checkpoint, so that ultimately you have dozens of islands in the ending shot. Forming a beautiful kingdom all together!

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-13T02:52:12Z

@harmofish When you place a house, the more forests that are around that house the more apples you will get. And for placing markets the more houses around that market when you place it the more apples you will sell and the more gold you will get... So like this:

Placing a house surrounded by number of forests gives you apples: 1 Forests: +1 Apples

2 Forests: +3 Apples

3 Forests: +6 Apples

4 Forests: +10 Apples

5 Forests: +15 Apples

6 Forests: +21 Apples

7 Forests: +28 Apples

8 Forests: +36 Apples

Placing a market surrounded by number of houses gives you money and sells your apples:

1 Houses:-1 Apples, +1 Gold

2 Houses:-2 Apples, +3 Gold 3 Houses:-3 Apples, +6 Gold

4 Houses:-4 Apples, +10 Gold

5 Houses:-5 Apples, +15 Gold

6 Houses:-6 Apples, +21 Gold

7 Houses:-7 Apples, +28 Gold

8 Houses:-8 Apples, +36 Gold

So that is how you get more of the resources with less buildings! i hope this helps!

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-13T04:31:59Z

@frozenfire92 Thank you a lot! And im really glad you came back to it! Im planning on developing it further in my spare time so your message is a great boost to motivation! And because of your comment i added the breakdown in the game description, so thank you. Also if you ever are stuck somewhere bored, its also playable on the phone so maybe you can get that nice view of youre whole kingdom. And thats a really clean looking castle i must say!

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-13T06:41:17Z

@pazzi hahahah im glad you loved it either way! if you feel like giving it a try again, just ask whatever you need. I really love seeing people play this game so i would love to help you out to play it further! :))

@ategon that one refresh sounds like an interesting idea... I might give it a spin and see how it feels.. Thanks for a good solution.

@slush Yeah for me it was a mix of a fair few things, and Loop hero was one of them! I love that you mentioned it :heart: As for the first level it comes down to balancing around and as it is now i think i will need to lower the difficulty for the first 2 islands just a bit... Thank you for persevering and getting through it.

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-13T08:01:03Z

@pazzi WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!? HOOOWWW!!!!! So first of all i think you didnt realize that all castle tiles count as forests as well so you didnt utilize it as much as you could... But even with that you broke any record ive seen by a 50 extra apples!!! Like 290 was max that i saw till now!!! AMAZING!!! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

PS Check the game description again, are you okay with it? :3

@antti-haavikko I think that the solution will be lowering the cost of moving on the first islands when you still dont have enough apples to reroll or like one player mentioned a free reroll per island.. Or like you said making sure there is 1 hut and forest at the beginning, which i already thought of but ultimately decided to skip on because of the last minute crunch time.. But Ill stay with the restart mechanic being in chunks of 4/5 islands having checkpoints in between. Again thank you a lot for your input ill try all these ideas out, and hopefully find a satisfying solution for when i post LD update the game. :heart:

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-13T19:51:01Z

@pazzi Im glad you were... But i dont know how to tell you this.... Youre friend is a pro so, get out of here YOU NOOB! :D

@hell-homa Thank you for playing!

@bigwhiteshogun Thats soo cool, thank you a lot for that! And also guiding that streamer was a really nice move from you.. Its a shame my friend made the music a few months ago and not now seeing that a lot of people really like it.. It would be cool if it would also get rated :((

@bobo-oh If you mean the island with 3 houses already on it. It can be one of two things. You either rushed the first island and didnt place all 4 houses to get the apples you needed, or you didnt place the markets in an optimal position and sold the apples you had for a lower price than possible. If it was some other island, can you tell me which one so i can take a look if its a bug maybe?

@smeljey Yeah! After half way of making the game i realized its pretty similar... So i guess my mind pulled the inspiration from it. I hope i did it justice though since i Johnas is a pretty cool guy! :D.

@no-whone Okay okay... Are you sure you didnt encounter any bugs?!? Because how did you manage to get a score like that if not!!! Hahahah Well you can officially call your friend a noob now! And congratulations on a successful mutiny!

NO-WHONE (╯°Д°)╯︵/(.□ . \) PAZZI 1:0

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-14T00:40:24Z

@skosnowich @no-whone @pazzi Im starting to really love this comment section! :heart: thank you a lot!!!

And @pazzi yes you are getting that well deserved first spot!

@skosnowich

you-were-the-chosen-one.gif

Also its not, iit never was a feature :)) itll only swap with white squares if the square was the same builiding as the one youre holding... It was an easy and fast hack to implement :))

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-14T09:50:36Z

@sakura-magika yeah it really needs that extra tutorial island... You actually did really good! Truth is i cant get past 250 and i made the game and have been testing it constantly... These people are just, something else on a pro level! So there is the top 5 now... And you can see youre pretty close!

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-14T20:02:32Z

@pazzi @skosnowich @no-whone

Yeah i absolutely love the little competition you made... I never thought of really adding a leaderboard until i saw your comments. And its really great! For the restarting sadly theres no way around it.. I gave it a fair bit of thought and there is no balancing it... If i give any free refreshes at the start then it would also always be better to restart instead of using the free ones... And if i set the shop for the first hand to be set to a certain thing, then everyone would restart on the second hand to get that perfect one... So sadly this is it for now i think lol

There is no use in using the tutorial it is set that when you finish the tutorial you have 0 apples and gold, so there is no benefit in playing it apart from learning the game.

And for the RNG, while it is true that it plays a roll as much as in auto-battler games, skill is important as well. Like look at your islands, especially the castle one, they all have some sort of pattern at this point. You all made your strategies and ways of getting those scores. I mean just compare it to the picture i posted in the game description. Look how more organized your islands are! So dont undermine your skill guys and good job!!!

PS the playable on mobile part i discovered completely by accident xD I mean i meant to port it for mobile also but the HTML version surprised me! hahahaha

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-14T20:06:15Z

@pazzi yeah seasons and more scenarios i really planed on for sure! And then imagine the zoomed out camera showing all the islands a 100 of them, it would be so beautiful!!! :heart: For the global leaderboards ill see as well because you showed me that they actually do fit in the game... I made the score be in apples so casual players can still finish the game while the more involved ones can try to maximize their score... But the interaction between the 3 of you showed me another aspect of it so thank you a lot!

Also i was thinking of asking you to make an island of your own after all this is done :)) like it would be cool! But i need a bit of time for playing other peoples games and my exams, before i come back to the game :))

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-14T23:29:53Z

@ategon a new challenger approaches! Were glad to have you here! :))

@shp Nuuuu! Well i guess you will just have to play 1 more time and see if you can get a spot! :D.

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-15T23:06:58Z

@no-whone First of all you have no clue for how long i was grinning because you recorded a video of my game! I watched it 5/6 times hahaaha. Also the refresh speed at the beginning reminds me of pro starcraft plays lol. I had a similar strategy like you when i played and i got to around 480, but 580 is wow... Truth is when i was making the game at first i thought the max would be around 400, so im glad you that youve shown me otherwise! Liked and subscribed he he... PS did you speed up the video, or are you just that fast?

@ginxel Yeah They are great, and if you like them you can check them out i left a link in the description to the person that made them! They made a lot of different assets at cheap prices too :))

@no-whone @pazzi @skosnowich @ategon @bigwhiteshogun @szieberth-adam Hey so i dont want to promise much, but theres a chance that ill work on the game a bit more. Fixing the UI, adding new regions, new mechanics etc... But it will take a bit of time. I wanted to create a discord channel in case i stick to it. Truth is the reason im thinking of continuing on making it is because of your comments and interest you shown! So apart from you being there i would enjoy picking your brains on thoughts that come to my mind or hearing what you might like to be added! In any case thank you a lot for your support! :heart:

So in case you are interested here is the link: https://discord.gg/3MSSzB24ZQ

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-16T08:08:13Z

@no-whone you didnt use speedup for the video, but you used photoshop for the pictures!!! XD join the discord, and when im making new islands id love to have you help me make your own one!

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-16T21:41:31Z

@projectaroid thanks im really glad youve enjoyed it! And yeah it is not inyense as long as you dont look at the scoreboard hahahaha For some people it ended up being more intense than csgo! :D.

@big-cyckos ahahha yeah i saw the houses as scared smilies as well, and still cant unsee it! Im glad im not the only one... And for the rain, its becaus eits raining in my heart, knowing i made the game and that i cant even get 3rd place on my scoreboard! :cry: Thank you for youre input, ill experiment with the undo button. And if you really liked the game feel free to join the discord channel where ill try and make updates and talk to you about what you want to se get added! :))

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-18T19:43:21Z

@rocktavious The plan is to make more island clusters like this one, and for the restart function to get you back to the first island of a cluster. Like checkpoints of sorts :))

@shit-lord did you hear when Pantela tells a joke?

@tweekstudios You must be the first person to not only be able to stomach it, but also like the UI! Thanks, but seriously whats wrong with you?! :DDD.

@flyingkaida If you mean Civilization as in the game than im extra blushing right now! I was a fan of the game since the first release.. Just try to hit more trees/houses at the same time when you place your buildings. And if thats not enough No-Whone has posted a video+guide in the comments how to get his high score, so theres some extra help! PS hes better at the game than me also so he knows what hes doing. lol

@amarokczukay Thank you good sir!

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-25T07:00:11Z

@lenan yeah sadly it happens. But the is no way around it since no matter what bonus i give to counter it, it would always be better to restart than using that bonus. (for example fixing the first hand, would just make players restart on the second one...)

@arron-fowler thank you for playing!

@hayricakir yeah, i tried to explain the game through the tutorial, but it was done in a rush so it only did half the work it needed to :))

@lizelive you actually do, if you beat the game once you will unlock the "creative mode" in which you can place anything you wish! :)) It was a post jam addition thoe so i would ask you to not take it into account when youre grading the game, but if you want to have a bit of a relaxing building session go for it!

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-25T17:08:58Z

@schmalex thanks, that was actually one of my concerns and i was kid of waiting to see if someone will comment on it :)) I will look into it and im glad you had fun!

The Gold'n Apples by kikiriki367 2023-01-27T19:54:35Z

@dk5000p thank you for playing!

@eloraju oh my the number of times i heard that ahahahah... Well actually 6/6 of my friends who tried the game out also were confused and thought its a bug that you dont get the resources after! lol So youre deffinetly not the first and it gave me an insight that i need to make an extra tutorial island. Yeah the randomness can suck a bit, but passing it shouldn't be much trouble once you get use to the game. And if you just want to build, there is that "Creative mode" afterwards! :)))

@shimmerscale I hope you've beaten it, and if you did you deserve the Crown of Champions! wink wink tft wink, if that is where you got your name from...

@dgspitzer Well it turns out i sent you too many hearts also! :heart:

Crowings Do by PatrickRMC 2023-01-26T13:49:29Z

Congrats, this is really creative art+sound wise! And i see its your first time doing it so it makes it even better in a way! :)) Add an explanation when the field restarts, add a scoreboard, and since im guessing you made it in unity just add 3 buttons to move and this is a great little phone game that i would enjoy playing from time to time! Or even a cool precision mode where you give the player 1hp and always spawn 1 corn and 1 scarecrow each time the player eats, so that the scarecrows keep stacking until you miss once! Great entry and good luck! :D

Harvest Mouse: Veggie Survivor by chelC 2023-01-13T01:48:46Z

Hey so the BGM depending on how you did it, is just 1 button press to make it loop and i think it would benefit the game a lot because its a really awesome soundtrack! Also to lower down just a bit the sound effects so that we can listen to the music better :)). Apart from that really cute graphics, great sounds, the gameplay loop is fun and with a few pickups or upgrades it would be an amazing little game to kill vegetables, i mean time!

Bank Harvester by malibaturhan 2023-01-16T11:01:26Z

As people previously mentioned. I played it for a bit but not much to be honest... The inverted mouse was too hard to handle and resulted in my camera going everywhere and made my head hurt a bit :(( Will you release a version without the inverted controls?

And on the side note, i came from your post, sooo Congratulations on getting married! :D.

Delivery Maze by Kusaihana 2023-01-12T00:24:00Z

Really cool game. It reminds me of those old plastic mazes where you need to roll te ball down to :)). Only thing id say it needs is either to be able to change fruits or to be able to get to every fruit always, becuase sometimes you spawn with a bad one and you just have to lose score.. Also its really impressive that you made it in 12 hours!!

Mustered by arron-fowler 2023-01-19T04:08:11Z

Everything works great and is fun to play, me and my population of 25 liked it. The basic gameplay reminds me a bit of the boardgame Isle of skye :)) Its a shame that there is no zoom out on the camera.. i really enjoy those in city building games. After finishing a big part of the game just zooming out and staring! But all in all its a great one!

LD52 Moonlight by Fis 2023-01-16T09:57:24Z

Its a nice looking game with great lighting. Like people mentioned the scaling difficulty is very much needed but i see youve redone the enemy AI for version 1.1 so thats fixed in a way it seemed. Like not being able to run in a circle and make a stack of enemies to mowe down for score :)) So the fixes are going in the great direction i like the mechanics so gj.. And just to prove that i did play a bit and that i know what i mean by not getting harder for sure :))

I decided that it was enough and that i can call myself the best player of this game, 1st place medal please!

Red Owl LD 52 by Rocktavious 2023-01-19T02:37:32Z

I never understood the people who enjoyed playing The Legend of Grimrock. But then i turned this on, bought every upgrade, and cleared the whole forest of all enemies before pressing the fire for the last time. I think this showed me the charm of those games and i might give them a try now! Thank you for a good game that opened the door to me to a whole new gaming genre! :D

PS mini bug, wehn you lose restart kind of breaks the game and does nothign...

Red Owl LD 52 by Rocktavious 2023-01-24T11:24:54Z

Hmmm it sounds like an experience that would pull me out to make something i never did till now... I might join it myself and see :)) If i remember to do so in 2 months that is...

Harvest is coming by thomasward 2023-01-16T10:43:05Z

I really like the atmosphere, i mean i hate it but in a liking way... Its a bit confusing what do the fireplace and the oven do? Like what is the difference between them. And when fishing was i pulling out trash because i was trash at it, or because its always 1 fish+2 trash? Get it, trash cos of trash. :upside_down: Oh and the music of the game should be lowered when playing the gramophone, which i have to say has really great music choices for the games mood. All in all i love hate it, and i will play it again to see all the endings probably. So great job! :D

Resolution 1920x1080 played in browser and there wasnt txt being cut off. (adding this so it might help with troubleshoot from the previous comment)

Hortirata by Szieberth Adam 2023-01-11T19:57:25Z

Adding before levels with 2/4/6/8... plots would help a lot in visualisinghow the interactions work :)). Its a simple mechanic which can scale up quite a bit.. So i what i did was random it until i got 1 move to harvest and then would half logic! Seemed to work for 3 levels but i got stuck at 4th :(( In any case i think its a really cool game that can be scaled a lot and it only needs a tutorial of sorts for us noobs :D

Otherworld Harvester by shp 2023-01-14T04:17:00Z

Someone already mentioned but the graphics blend of Morrowind(older games) + risk of rain really hits the spot! Also added with the gameplay reminds me of death stranding, so with some great music, which this game has, it makes a really enjoyable experience. The best i could do sadly is on Hard mode, and it was with exploiting, not a bug but a feature, "the old throw and run choo choo train technique". I want that patented in my name! By carrying more than 3 crystlas by simply chuging them in front of me as soon as i pick them up, effectively making a train of 6+ gems... Only thing i would mention here is that the game does need rebalancing, since the upgrade oreder should always be-> Run Speed> Collect speed/Energy Max/Regen(balance the rest of points) > Other(shouldnt even be taken)... Other than that it was great and good job! :))))

Otherworld Harvester by shp 2023-01-14T18:29:29Z

So you say its possible on very hard... Ill see about that! :)) Jam = compo in my opinion to be honest, both are a big feat to achieve and truth is usually you do the code for a similar amount of time, just a little bit less stressed.. Well even with redoing the whole gameplay it feels more balanced and polished than 90% of games. Because lets be real that is the hardest part in the end :)) So great job, you made something really wonderful! :))

Death 'n' Veggies by Klaus Peter 2023-01-12T03:26:13Z

Plates up meets Stardew Valley! Simple, yet great!

Farming For FUn by dk5000p 2023-01-25T18:57:43Z

Ehh like you said its as bare bones as it can get but still the whole game i dont know why... And i dont know if its forbidden to say this... But... I gave you all 5s!!! :laughing: I just love the attitude in a way... Good luck and i hope you have more time in the jams to come!

Harveeps by Raivk 2023-01-18T01:23:27Z

Im one of those monkeys that played a lot of Tetris while dodging studying for his exams... And there for i love this game and i want it to be perfect he, he, he, he, he, he!

So just 1 complaint and 1 advice :3... The complaint is that by the way the game is balanced ,and i might be wrong here of course, it seems that its best to just go around in squares. Cleaning one by one so that you dont receve too much damage while getting score. So the multiple cleans at the same time usually arent worth the health you lose. So finding a balance fix for that would be great, maybe healing if the player destroys more rows/squares at the same time? And for the advice, maybe add a scoreboard in the comment section its not much but for the competitive people its a great motivation to try hard a bit more! :))

Other than than, great and i really really loved it!

Cube Digger by Quentin Wittevrongel 2023-01-12T03:14:42Z

This is what i call a play test! Change the graphics to your graphics, add more steps and bigger islands and more variety... And make a game out of this!!! If you wont id be glad to steal the idea from you! :P Its a shame i cant rate it, so ill just say i like it and its a really interesting concept to build upon!

The Hunt for the Legendary Lobster by Ry-for 2023-01-13T21:14:47Z

Sooo i would recommend a feew small changes... The camera to be a bit zoomed out more, and the hook to be closer to the top of the screen so that we can see a bit more down of whats to come. Because a fair bit of time the fish come too fast to be able to avoid them. Also making the fish hitboxes just a bit smaller, because it will give more of those wow that was so close moments! Instead of thinking damn it was so close :(( Add a keyboard button to restart the game so that we dont have to move our hand to the mouse and we can instantly get back into action. And when you restart the game keep the music going on instead of resetting it. Its a beautiful track that most people wont get to listen to because we lack skill!

Thats all i can think of and now for the other part... I love this game absolutely! I love the sea and fishing in real life, so this game is really lovely. The graphics are great, the gameplay very addictive to play as long as you make it with less breaks between deaths. And the music wow damn... Im writing this comment and keeping the game in the background just to be able to listen to it more! This is the 4th game out of many this jam that i will bookmark and return to play more these days! And also share with a few of my friends showing them how even with such little time, people can create something so wonderful! This game made my day really so, thank you. :heart:

The Hunt for the Legendary Lobster by Ry-for 2023-01-14T03:25:40Z

Oh my bad i totally missed that part... But then its a great choice for the game... Actually a perfect one! And i hope youll see me on top of the leaderboards one of these days when i have extra time to try hard! until then its one of the few games i bookmarked to replay for a lot longer than just a review!(Also to compete with a few friends) :)))

Harvest or Die by Ninnec 2023-01-24T13:58:17Z

Party time! party.png

Phone game thoughts: I like the gameplay and the simple mechanics which you can build upon with ease. For a mobile game, i could see it as such to be honest. It has simple mechanics and gives that just one more level vibes that phone games tend to need :)). One thing that i would say to consider is the tone of the game though. I like it, its cool that its spooky a bit, but i think for mobile it would benefit from a more cheerful vibe. As much as it kills me to say, theres a reason why candy crush graphics are popular these days :((

For the mechanic side its a really good base to build upon. Here are some extra ideas or things to consider in that regard: -Make it level based, each level being harder and bigger -Make an interactive tutorial, starting with a 3x3 grid and expanding on it with more colors and tiles, adding enemies then and so on. Its a lot better to learn through play than text. -Make it area based, so that each area has 5-10 levels before you get to the next one and get introduced to a new mechanic(tiles which you can walk over once, enemies that behave differently(for example like a horse/bishop from chess), fruit that you need to dig next to first before being able to dig it...) -Some sort of friends leaderboards maybe since i saw you already have a number of turns counter!(but this is really just extra...)

I think you have a great base which i can see being expanded on to make a neat little mobile game. You have the challenge and gameplay, you only need variety and more content! So great base and good luck on it, and i will follow you in case you decide to post anything further about the game!:D.

PS you can make an easy port by just adding unity buttons for the controls, and the game will probably be playable in html! I found that by accident with my game so yeah, small tip!

Goba Day by Jonas Tyroller 2023-01-18T02:18:27Z

Fan talk + shameless plug: Hey so i guess you are doing another incognito jam, and i ran into this completely by accident :)). Ive been following Johans for some time now and wanted to say thanks for all the videos... :heart: I would really love to ask you to check my game out, because well after making it and someone mentioning it i realized i took a bit of inspiration from islanders without knowing... So i hope it is fine with you since i maybe thought on working on the game a bit further! :))

Review: Dont expect ill go easy on you just for being a fan! I like the games mood as a whole. But i feel like adding some descriptions to the humans would go a long way here. Because if not, like this they are just reduced to numbers and percentages sadly. I dont feel the emotional weight behind it. I like the music and the art style, its really well done. And i really like the way you introduce the game mechanics one each day. Its a fast game so it makes us want to replay more, and god knows i did about 10+ times, but sadly my best was only 15.. :))

It was a real pleasure stumbling on this and i wish the best of luck to both of you on your new city builder game! :heart:

Junkship by YogurtTheHorse 2023-01-15T01:13:53Z

Its a cool game and the art for it is spot on. The movement feels on point so thats great too. Also a thing that once you see you wont be able to unsee is... The first ship is a dogs face, and the second is the bears face :D. Sadly i didnt get to the 3rd ship because i felt its a bit too expensive to get and at that point, probably by my reckless driving all of the resources and black boxes ended up in the center of black holes and i couldnt get them out :(( So i would say just lower the price of ships a bit or add more parts to harvest. Other than that great entry!

Mutant Harvest by Lenan 2023-01-19T01:53:53Z

The attacks seemed impossible to dodge, or im missing something in the game? If so can you tell me since i want to try and beat the first boss at least! :)) Im sorry for the migrane and i hope you feel better soon..

Soul Garden by Gossian 2023-01-26T11:42:51Z

Ahhh the good old days of spawn camping kids on call of duty! I think you cant get more harvests than this, so where is my trophy?!? And oh i just realized it shows you where they died, thats so interesting actually!

bab.png

PS the garden screen breaks the game for some reason. :3

Super Plantoid by dans17 2023-01-13T00:01:53Z

Theres a few games every jam which i play and think to myself that its impossible someone made this in the given time... And this is one of those games! Amazing graphics, music, sound effects, level design... Everything is perfect! There only minor issues, the dark levels are a 1 hit kill which is fine, but there seems to be a bug when you die in them the death animation goes for 10 seconds or so... So check that out because it makes those levels a bit annoying. Also i collected all 20 green seeds and went to the ship by accident(so i didnt have time to goof around). So i just wanted to ask does something happen once you collect them or did i need to do something extra for it to work?

Apart from that i really mean when i say i have no clue how you couldev made something so awesome in such short of a time! And im curious if you are thinking of making a longer game out of it? :D.

Super Plantoid by dans17 2023-01-13T01:00:28Z

Well i guess ill need to replay the game tomorrow and see what it is! :D i kind of skipped the credits by pressing some button i think or dunno lol.. And yeah id love to give that a read so ill deffinetly follow!............... if i figure how to do it..............

Super Plantoid by dans17 2023-01-13T08:38:50Z

Hey, youre making me blush! It was a fluke that i made an okay game :)) I followed you and im looking forward to seeing your posts! Once again the 3 of you made a really amazing game, with apart from the things i mentioned the only bad thing about it is that there isnt more so ill just have to replay it again! :D.

Super Plantoid by dans17 2023-01-13T08:46:55Z

Heyyy I would really love to have seen that! D: damn its a shame i missed it :((

Also then it seems ill wait till the patch and replay the game fully then!

Water Tower by KeithSwanger 2023-01-14T21:00:31Z

Its a really cool idea, but i dont like it... It makes me question my vision and aiming skills! Im terrible at it... :((((((((( But seriously a great and unique game, but damn im going to check my sight tomorrow! haahah

Also @klaus-peter your profile picture goes so well with that score hahahahahaha

The Onion Quest by Dekajoo 2023-01-13T00:57:10Z

For someone who unlocked every single cosmetic in Super Auto Battle Pets.... I love this game! :)) Only thing i would say is maybe you should switch the attack and health positions of vegetables. Maybe my brain is hardwired by the games that i played but it was really confusing having them swapped, apart from that great game and good job! :D.

The Onion Quest by Dekajoo 2023-01-13T20:00:41Z

Truth is i was also thinking about making something similar but along the lines of Auto Chess. So i really like the idea for sure and hope you make good of it! Ill give you a sneaky follow and who knows maybe i play it once in a while..

The Onion Quest by Dekajoo 2023-03-23T20:06:44Z

When you press ESC and the menu opens, the bottom button should be "Return to menu" instead of "Quit game" or something like that. My mushrooms died after battle sometimes, disappearing for good? Im not sure how to recrate it... Also when you win it should be "brought" instead of "bought" a typo is there :))

Other than that i love that you switched the hp and attack! And once again i showed the evil onion whose the Great Onion!!!

Shape Orchard by Binney 2023-01-16T10:08:19Z

A really nice game and an interesting graphic choice. I have to ask was it inspired by Piet Mondrians "Composition of Red, Blue and Yellow"? :3

Shape Orchard by Binney 2023-01-24T11:23:07Z

Im not that much into art, i just recognized it by accident because of my friend liking his art a lot. :)) But i still like the idea of incorporating art in some way. And to be honest as much as im not that into it i love learning something new in tiny bits, so thank you for this lovely comment <3. Might sound weird but, maybe if you post updates for the game you can post some pictures that also inspired you for that current update like you did here. It would be really interesting to read!

And for the picture from Damien Hirst, if you get just a jpg of it, you can make a script in unity that can load a color at coordinate X*offset(the distance between circles). And spawn a circle at each of those coordinates with the given color! And there you go a really fast way of doing it! And i know its possible and easy since i did something like this a year ago! :)) And i can help you if you ever feel like doing it and get stuck!

Harvest Dune by rrsmtz 2023-01-13T02:43:35Z

Lower the sound effects just a bit to level with the music.... AND DUCK I LOVE THIS AND THAT WORM! ITS TIME TO WATCH THE MOVIE FOR THE 20th TIME!!! FOR HOUSE ATREIDES!

Fruit Picker by Harmadillo 2023-01-11T23:48:05Z

In the instructions menu you need to fix the text, theres a wrong arrow written... And the volume for apples should be a bit less loud.. Appart from that cool game and i did it without surfing! Also.....

I LOVE DUCKS!!!!!

DatenKraken by ToSMaster 2023-01-19T04:35:22Z

A great game and a great entry! Like other people said the only bad thing about it is that there isnt more! I like the really creative approach of it and it was really fun reading random data that was harvested. There is a small lag issue when it comes to the title screen but apart from that it was perfectly polished as well which is really impressive for a jam game. Great job everyone!!! :))

Maylee's Recipe by Sikowny 2023-01-26T13:39:06Z

Everything about this game is sweet! The plot, the art, the music. Its a really neat game and i kind of liked these mini games and wish they existed in stardew valley in some form :)). Only thing i would say is to change the how to play text and background to the same pallet and you have a wonderful game! :))

Happy Tree Harvest by sakura_magika 2023-01-12T03:08:58Z

Like Khaotom said its a shame there arent different endings and the sound effects to be a little lower in volume compared to the music. Apart from that this is my favorite addition to the jam as of yet! I loved the rhymes, the graphics are simple yet good looking, the gameplay also simple but enjoyable, and the undertale like twist, i love it!!! :heart:

Happy Tree Harvest by sakura_magika 2023-01-12T04:04:00Z

Yeah just add to the description of the game that there is 8 endings or something like that :)). But also can you give us some hints on what they are? Becasue, and im really sorry for this i know its bad....

I take back what I said before, now I've come back for more. Ten long years it has been, don't end this conversation with a seen...

10 years.png

Happy Tree Harvest by sakura_magika 2023-01-12T06:04:43Z

I see i came back here a few minutes too slow... Well i first came here to post a picture and then i read the comment! I played it again a bit with my friend and we really tried on getting the ending soooooooooooooooo....................... WE DID! I think we had around 32 population, 60 apples, 240 wheat 30 trees and it took us 15 days! So it takes a bit longer if youre guessing what youre doing but it is possible :)).. Having played the game for a few hours now tbh, dont judge we really liked it! Id say again its my favorite entry and i really loved it! And if i were you i would just add a hint in the description of the game that there is a true ending and thats it! Thank you for your amazing entry it really made our day, and ill for sure send it to a few more friends to check it out! :heart: Also tell me if i should edit this comment so i hide the spoilers. PS we did it before you posted the patch!

nature.png

Happy Tree Harvest by sakura_magika 2023-01-12T21:51:49Z

Yeah my strategy was also to cull them down! But a friend wanted to try and save as many people and plants as she could. :)) Ultimately we succeeded in the end with this many people! And for the 1 human alive ending i was actually thinking of doing it, so cool that you thought of an extra ending for that aswell!(And who knows i might do it in a few days!) hahahahah

Children of the Combine by MilkWine 2023-01-14T20:57:59Z

I can imagine playing this game is as much fun as it was making it! By that i mean i cant imagine how much of a blast you had making this whacky stody, i love it! haahaha

Hobo Harvest by magicstunts123 2023-01-12T04:07:41Z

Great graphics and professional german voice acting, what could you want more?!? Seriously you made some really weird ship here and i appreciate that! :D

Rollin' by Spaint 2023-01-16T11:15:59Z

Like people already said its a really cute and cool spin-off of Katamari! The level design is great and its super fun to explore once you get the upgrades going. Only thing i would ask for is for the hedgehog to be a little more stickier so that i wouldnt need torun around the same food a few times before collecting it. Great game and good job! :D.

The Harvest by EpicGameFan 2023-01-14T23:26:10Z

I love the idea of making the game for Game boy :heart: The game itself is really nice and well put, i think i got lucky and finished it without "my life being terminated". One thing i will add that i read in the comments and it helped me a lot is taht it should be played on the phone. The game didnt work for me on Microsoft Edge, it just wouldnt focus on the game and it wouldnt register my input at all, so i tried it on the phone. And im really glad that i did! Not only does it work better and look better, but also having the controls shown the way they did on the phone added so much to the game! So maybe add that to the description because it helps a lot and is way better also! :))))

I disliked the dropdown levels a bit since i couldn't aim up to shoot the enemies and i just had to wait for them at the bottom. Appart from that its great, and i cant explain how much i love the graphics! They are simple yet soooo effective! And also Gamemaker brings a lot of fond memories.. Thank you for a great game and i wish you the best of luck! :heart:

Harvester Inc. by OffDutyExtractors 2023-01-25T08:42:01Z

Its a really astonishingly creative idea! I dont know how you used AI to create these profiles and posts but its also really interesting. But that being said, im here to be grumpy and try to nitpick so here we go!

- It would be cool to have a tutorial where you hold the players hand through the first person so that they get the idea of what to do. And also is a lot more inviting than reading a lot of text! Gamers are lazy! :))

- I wish i could work on multiple contracts at a time, since a lot of people are linked in some way it would make it much more interesting, faster and if a player gets stuck they would be able to take a break and move on to another person for a bit without feeling like they failed in a way.

- There should be another way of getting the email address without paying the 50$ fee, and so that the fee is there only like a last resort. But im guessing its there to stop the player from jumping from one contract to the next?

- Depending on the complexity of the game you wish to make, adding more pages and sites that unlock as the player progresses can be a cool thing. For example for 50$ the player can unlock LinkedIn where they will get Phone Numbers/Emails/Addresses easier. For a 100$ an Instagram account which gets more posts and mostly travel+pet pictures... Maybe adding google/wikipedia as a previous thing so that we can google for odd flags/telephone prefixes/where cities are and so on... Sorry im not creative its early in the morning but i hope you understand what i mean! he he :3

- And as always, more variety! :D.

PS. I played for 1-2 hours, and i still cant find a way of getting the IP(appart from the 50$ hack)/Phone number/Drivers licence anywhere, so how do you do it if its not too spoilery?

I nitpicked a lot, but i want to say again i absolutely love the game and I hope you manage to finish it! Also the posts made me laugh at times, so here are 2 depressing gems! lol

Harrr'vest by xHadie 2023-01-11T22:42:26Z

Im a bit lost on what i need to do... I got both seeds in my inventory and when i arrived at the magical island i couldnt plant them? It does seem like an interesting premise for a boardgame or a multiplayer game like others said tho or for a basic AI to play against :)).

The day before the harvest by froissant 2023-01-19T03:38:44Z

Fez called me to say its jealous that im cheating on him! :)) I like it, its that stop and smell the flowers game. I dislike the time a bit though, or at least i dislike that time passes while reading the different descriptions... It makes the game a bit less relaxing and adds that need for a rush. Which on one hand is great because it kind of ads that summer vacation fleeting feeling to it, but on the other makes the player want to mash skip so that he can collect all the things. Which is a message on itself if a think of it and thats yet again cool, but stressful! In any case i really laughed with the mushrooms part and got:

The day before the harvest by froissant 2023-01-19T11:41:22Z

Ofcourse i did! First you eat mushrooms and then you lick frogs! Its the classic combo... Also i hoped it would turn into a prince and make me rich... But now that you mention it, being able to see what we found/missed (just its serial number maybe) would also be cool :)) And no need to thank me, it was my pleasure!

Chess The Second by aslan 2023-01-21T03:58:32Z

I love chess and i love civ, and have been playing them for 20 years now!!! And i love this game soooooo much!!! <3 And im sooo going to play it with friends! And now im off again, just one more turn to play :))

Harvest Roar by vivyhasadream 2023-01-27T19:48:17Z

This is my last game of LD! And what a creative little thing! I love the innovation in it even if it made me really die inside from awkwardly shouting at my laptop... I like it but i wouldn't recommend making it for mobile! Good luck with your scores and see you on the other side! :D.

Tavuk by Chisenoa 2023-01-26T11:35:19Z

Instructions not clear, instead of making bread i made some KFC... Also about the music, that LoFi girl better watch out! :D.

Buzzy Business by amarokczukay 2023-01-18T02:42:42Z

Really fun game, even if i hate mosquitos. It was a pleasure to see them getting slapped so many times. But what can i say...in the end they always win..

Aggro-Culture by Ategon 2023-01-13T09:06:50Z

Great base for a game, its a shame you didnt have enough time to polish it and make those upgrades work :((. But i can really see it being a great game so keep it up!!

Slime Crime by No whOne 2023-01-13T20:53:36Z

I HATE THIS GAME!!! ITS TOO SHOOOORT!!!! I WANT MORE!!!! Im off to play vampire survivors again now... :((((

All seriousness, make it a bit longer, make it so that enemies dont spawn on top of you, spawn a bigger number of enemies, put a price on the game and ill buy it!!! This is easily my top 3 games of the jam no questions asked! DID I STUTTER!

Okay okay now again all serious... Ive finished the game 4 times, and ill do it once or twice more later today when im done going through multiple games.

Make the stomp radius and slime radius bigger, and add extra levels to those upgrades. My third try i gave it my all just killing enemies by stomping them with the death explosion+slime+movement speed max combo... But it really doesnt deal that much damage so i had to resort to shooting in the end. Its a great way to play and it is that uniqueness that it has over Vampire survivor for example. And also its super cute...

To put it simply i love this game and i hope you do some work on it so i can play more, wish the best to you both! :heart:

PS sorry for the rambling

Starchy Defender by FoggyDude 2023-01-24T13:19:03Z

Now you are no longer at the 20 almost danger zone level, congrats on getting rated and keep on making cool games! *MUAH*

They Are Growing by ADIS 2023-01-14T03:22:06Z

That was pretty hard but i managed to finish it, because im such a pro gamer!! Judging by the comments im guessing you heard these by now, so ill try and throw in a few easy solutions. And most of these id say is fine to do and count it as a jam addition(only the 6th one is a bit iffy) :D.

1. Add a simple text at bottom right with "X hp", that would help players a lot! 2. Make the timer on fruit explosion 1 second longer, again its just an int change its fine and a lot more people will finish the game that way :)) 3. Lower the volume of getting hurt, since otherwise to be able to play the game we have to lower the volume a lot. Which makes us miss out on the music... 4. Put the rules of the game in your LD description, people usually try the game and if they get lost start reading the descriptions. So its a great way to explain some important mechanics that you didnt do really well in the game!(Check my description page lol its full of random hints that i wrote after getting a few comments) :)) 5. A progression track on top so that we know which "day/level" we are on, and out of how many... Our peak motivation is at the beginning and when were close to the end so we super tryhard! Also helps knowing when the player died. 6. When the fruits are able to be picked up, change their Color its an easy and fast way to help us destinguish them without spamming E. (atleast easy in unity and gamemaker.. i never used godo, but i heard its good so i maybe will some day!)

Im saying these because in the past i had the same problems, and i still do! :)))) And also because i like the game and the atmosphere a lot and i hope more people get to experience it. And these are just minor tweaks that dont change anything that you did so i feel they are okay to do! :)) And of course these are just suggestions, and do as you feel like!

In any case i wish you the best of luck! And great addition that just required a tiny bit of playtesting! :D

They Are Growing by ADIS 2023-01-15T21:01:09Z

Yeah the tweaks after finishing something arent really fun to do and i know it :)) But still i just wanted to mention these 5 minute tweaks (since its just changing a variable here and there) because i see a game i would and did make.. My first entry for LD was a cool little game which i fear most people didnt finish just because of difficulty. And it was a one integer change to fix it all :))

So great game and im glad i finished it! And i love that its a creepy one, you did good in making the atmosphere. Looking forward for your next LD entry!

Green Thumb by shimmerscale 2023-01-13T02:33:02Z

Cool game, and amazing graphics. It would be cool if there were some cactuses or some plants that like the sand tiles, because as of now the best thing to do is just to run away as fast as possible from them! And this is maybe a strange compliment... But even without the tutorial the gameplay was super clear pretty fast because of the clean looking UI. I always struggle with that part and you did it amazingly well! :))

Tranquil World by Noskire 2023-01-12T02:57:04Z

Seems like a nice base for a relaxing game. Good graphics with sound, just a dd some visual prograssion and this would'ev been a great entry! :))

Forget-Me-Not: Harvesting Memories by eddrw 2023-01-14T01:44:00Z

Hey i just wanted to ask if there is only one customer? Or after finishing the first order i needed to do something to trigger a new customer?.. Other than that i really like the graphics and this form of story is something that really appeals to me. If there are more than 1 customer ill definitely replay it, if not it would be really nice having more customers and if and when you add them i would like to replay it then! :))

As for bugs, only maybe the text overflow out of the white square but its a minor issue..

Bow Knight Drifter by Kostas Nik 2023-01-14T04:33:57Z

It is a great game! And i passed it first try by doing the old witcher/skyrim technique! By shooting everything ive got, telling the dragon to relax a second while i open up my crafting menu and craft everything to full and the smack him again! xD No bugs, great polish, great gameplay, great sound... Oh and this might be a strange compliment but great job on the volume level for all sounds!!! 90% jam games end up with sound effects that are 10 time louder than the music making it impossible to listen to, but you did it perfectly and i cant be more happy about it!!! So good job on everything! :D.

Damn Rats - LD52 by mr_lazy 2023-01-27T22:20:51Z

The fly swatter made me giggle... :)) And its kind of ironic that ill need to get a new mouse after this game! And also i believe im owed a 1st place trophy for this magnificent harvest! :3

(Test) by TweekStudios 2023-01-19T02:47:39Z

I love that you devoted the time to make a character creator. Also the triple plant animation for some reason reminds me of Bugs Bunny, and i love it! :))) Its a good base, and maybe it would be cool if you get the time to release the more worked on version the game for LD extra!

(Test) by TweekStudios 2023-01-19T03:06:42Z

Yeah that sounds good as well! I just meant showing people in the jam the direction of the project would have also been really cool :)). But in any case ill actually give you a follow and maybe check up on the game durring the next LD JAM :))

Harvest x Harvest by Revolution Game 2023-01-11T20:47:24Z

I got to 6000 score, before i died... I like it a lot, i would just recommend increasing the number of crows over time or something like that so the difficulty scales. Oh and lowering the sound effects a bit so that the music can be heard :))

URSA MAIOR by ekaktusz 2023-01-25T10:52:14Z

After 80 games, i have found the one! The game that i wont be able to stop grinning thinking about... The game looks so beautiful, the story is so funny, the mood heart warming, the sound design nostalgic, the gameplay simple but right on spot how it should be.... I love every part of this game! Thank you so much for making this beautiful game that made my day! :heart:

Oh and the Itchio page is also tooooo cute!

Catchy by danmerey 2023-01-13T02:09:36Z

Playing Sid Meiers Pirates music in the background with this game... My childhood is back! Also my traumas of the wind always blowing in the "wrong" direction! haahaha :heart:

Danger in the Potager by Odey 2023-01-19T03:46:07Z

Great game and the difficulty was spot on! As an ass as that tomato was somehow i did it! Good job to me, and a good job to you! :))

The Time Traveler's Garden by Drizzle Games 2023-01-17T23:45:36Z

I really like the theme and concept, and as you can see that is my professional opinion. Not a single day goes by in the kitchen without me getting assaulted by those pesky onions!

Though i really miss those Iframes that i get in real life after each hit... Since without them these vegetables are always getting the better of me...

A Rolling Hamster Game! by Hxin 2023-01-12T00:13:21Z

Hey im also struggling to play the game, so maybe could you add a Downloadable version or figure these bugs out sinc ei really want to make a fat hamster! :)) Not sure if this helps but ill leave it here...

Harvest Week by boaz4 2023-01-12T04:26:46Z

The executable helped a lot, its great that you listened to the comments! Also the game is great! If you want to further work on it maybe you can make something like "House" on steam. But yeah all around amazing! :heart: :))

Seed Your Weed by LordDrw 2023-01-24T13:07:24Z

I dont like it its missing something very important.......... Where are the zomibe hippies invading my farm?!? :D

CrapCirclz by Francois Dervaux 2023-01-19T03:19:10Z

I sadly had to rate the game on what how i thought it would be and not on what it is.. :(( Its still a good raiting since i see this having so much potential to be fun playing! But sadly in the browser mode, for some reason it is really unplayable... The fps is capped around 10 and its too lagy to even try to move.. So do you by chance have a downloadable version that you can post? That would help a lot and i will love to come back to it and give it another try then! :heart:

Also if you plan on developing the game further, from the comments section i can see that a really cool idea would be letting players add their own patterns that need to be drawn! Yes, even if it means that of course someone will get creative and make a peepee ... :upside_down:

Oh and also when opening the menu i wasnt able to see the buttons... Laptop, 1920x1080 resolution, windows 10, Microsoft edge browser... Hope this helps a bit..

CrapCirclz by Francois Dervaux 2023-01-19T11:51:42Z

Oh i was looking for it in the itchio page... Maybe post it there as well! (or im just a bit blind..) yeah i understand and no worries! Ill for sure play it later tonight by downloading it :))

Boar'd'Hell by Blublu 2023-01-11T19:43:20Z

Great game! :heart: Only thing is that the scores should be automatically submitted... But since theyre not and some skilled people from the comments skipped on submitting them... ILL ENJOY MY SECOND PLACE TROPHY!!! :D

Shred-A-Bunch! by HayriCakir 2023-01-20T05:01:16Z

I think I want to see a game mix of this and Vampire survivors... These effects, moving down everything and infinite waves... I guess i just want more gameplay since its soo good! :)) Will you make it? :3

Nocturnal Enrichment by Big Cyckos 2023-01-14T02:35:30Z

Grat graphics and a cool game idea. Like mentioned before a restart button would go a long way. And maybe adding a few shorter conversation options also. A lot of them ended up with memorizing the first words of the right answers and choosing those instead of keeping a real conversation in a way. And i loved the geek girl and the strait chillin dude! More like those please!

Techno Plants by morpheyz 2023-01-25T17:25:40Z

Small nitpicks, i wish i could navigate the menu with the keyboard so that the mouse is not needed. Sometimes you can get soft-locked so a restart level function could be a small nice thing to have. And some form of calibration for the beat timings because they can sound off beat to some.

Im really nitpicking there because i think this is amazing! I love the mix of Necrodancer and Snake, the music is absolutely great! The gameplay simple yet really fun, i really loved the game! :D. One last complaint is, i wish it was longer, because im still starving for more!!! :heart: Techno ftw!

Grave Harvest by Nartyna 2023-01-25T18:40:52Z

I love the animation for walking, it looks like his shuffling and it makes me giggle! The gravestone texts are also a really lovely touch.. If any of you played Divinity Original Sin, you know that graveyards there also had some really funny jokes so i love that this game reminds me of that! Only remark i would have is that the main menu window is a bit too pixelated/blurry for some reason... Other than that a great entry!

Oh and seems im a pro gamer, first try i got the biggest pumpkin: score.png

Hectic Harvest by Junglerally 2023-01-26T11:19:14Z

I would suggest adding more hp to the enemies as the waves progress since they get one shot no matter how many of them there are. Also reduce the players money after placing a turret not buying, because if the player buys it and then right clicks to cancel placement, he only loses money. Apart from that its a fun game and the music reminds me a bit of Age of Empires which is great! Oh and also, i did it, he he...

The Pets Over The Innsmouth by 21st Century 2023-01-13T05:18:32Z

I have no clue what youre doing in those 3 days... But producing this much high quality art is jaw dropping! You definitely deserve a top 10 in art, good luck!!!

Potion Panic by Tigpan 2023-01-14T03:39:40Z

Lower the sound effects a bit so that the players can enjoy the music, the monster spawn rate i feel like it should be more frequent like it was on the forest level!

Other than that this fine game deserves a chefs kiss *muah*! Good job and amazing art!

Soul Sellers by Rakthalekk 2023-01-18T03:26:59Z

A really nice looking game with a fun gameplay loop. Only mention is that quests sometimes dont align with the upgrades and the player misses out on the. Other than that its pretty enjoyable little game. :3

And also if youre next to the top wall and get hit, you can glitch through the wall! Its a minor bug, but just felt like mentioning it if you want to develop this game further!

Heart's Harvest by AidanBacon 2023-01-13T04:51:46Z

Its a sweet game and a good base for a game to be similar to Spiritfarer. A mix of Stardew Valley and an emotional story, but sadly the game is a bit overscoped for the jam... But still a nice entry i hope youll continue working on! :))

Planet Harvest Unit by Harmofish 2023-01-13T06:04:47Z

Grat game! Even without the upgrade tree i would hav eliked it, but with it its even better giving that progress thats needed. Some of the mechanics are still a bit unclear even after an hour of play, like when do mines disapear, appart from that when should i depart etc... But all in all a really great game!

THE REVERSE CARD: Harvest the ladybug! by Acehunter 2023-01-11T20:10:41Z

@john-wuller Yeah the menu buttons are backwards and it confused me a bit at first.. but we just got uno reverse careded! :D All in all a cool game and now it made me think of using scratch for the next jam to see how it goes!

Moon Harvest by WeirdBitGames 2023-04-01T15:21:23Z

Hello there! It took me a bit to come back to this site with all the bot spams that are going on... I played the game and i like how its shaping up :))).. I already praised it when it was a LD post, so now that youre continuing to work on it ill be more bug testing it! So dont be discouraged since i did spend 48 minutes trying to really break it hahahha... Tbh i thought it was 15 not a whole hour, but i guess i enjoy the game that much!

So here is the bug report: 1. I couldnt buy the "movement speed" and "aditional plot farm" upgrades even if i had enough resources 2. There seems to be a pickup bug, the items will follow you around never getting pickedup(lightning bolt pickups), and some items do get pickedup but not added to your inventory(the purple logs) 3. Sometimes when you get knocked out, you get respawned and instantly get knocked out again. Extras: 1. Where is the "bridge" upgrade being built 2. Mini text to reason why i died like, Knocked out- ran out of oxygen/health 3. A button to go back to the menu or controls when im in game and when you beat the game Extra questions: 1. What do i do with the bite plants? 2. How do i smelt ingots? 3. Asteroids and purple monsters are comming soon?

And a picture to show off my progress also! farm.png

Good luck on your game and ill be sure to come nit pick it once in a while since i enjoy it very much! <3

Moon Harvest by WeirdBitGames 2023-04-06T18:45:40Z

Yes you can use the picture of course! :D

I think the speed boots upgrade didnt take my resources away when clicked. So maybe its a purchase bug and not about not increasing speed? But i might be completely wrong!

Its your game so you can shape it in any direction you wish to! :)) God knows im doing that with mine lol.(Not a financial advice!) No matter what you make not everyone will like it, so might as well make what you believe in :P. And in this case know that im enjoying the game and seeing it grow! So whenever you update it i will be here following through and as always doing my best to break it! hue hue

I wish you the best of luck in further development of this amazing game! Great job! <3

Moon Harvest by WeirdBitGames 2023-04-17T19:17:56Z

I saw i it was a twitter link, but sadly i dont use it... If you have discord/fb/insta i would follow up thoe. So if you make one of those hit me up :))

Moon Harvest by WeirdBitGames 2023-04-20T02:50:54Z

Yeah i can see them, but i just wont see them pop up :)) so i guess ill keep an eye here if you make new posts! After all i followed you for a reason... And for making an account i might do it for my game and then ill follow you, but for now ill stay here. :))
