What an innovative idea! LOVE the original and clever mechanics. I didn't want it to end, one of the best I've seen so far.

Fantastic! Amazing amount of polish
Gorgeous! Love the color palette and steam punk vibes. In a complete coincidence, I am actually in the middle of a book on the history of biology that's talking about the old homunculus theory! I was delighted that this came up at the same time. Great game, great theme.
Things I said over the past 17 minutes: "wow there's no reason this should be this fun" "I don't want to buy freedom yet! It'd end the game!" "Ooooh there's another upgrade after freedom!" "Wheeeeee" "I don't know why this is so addicting"
Great job! I loved this one.
Love this! The last level took me a while, and was so satisfying. I loved the art and the music, so beautiful and relaxing!
OMG! Like a stressful stardew valley or an overcooked - very fun! I love the art style. The levels ramped up in difficulty very quickly, and I lost sometime around level 3. I think it's harder using a trackpad, I'd try with a mouse next time.
I loved the bright color scheme/art and the music - very cheerful. The gameplay was fun too once I got the hang of it. It'd be cool to have some way to win or a leaderboard for the high score or something like that, or have it get harder as you go
Aww, I love this - such a sweet game. A great break from the more stressful games on here. Beautiful.
LOVE this! My favorite one I've done so far. Very Baba Is You vibe, I'm going to keep playing this one
Cool concept! The animation and sounds for sucking up the eggs is great. It'd be cool to have more gameplay to do other than waiting for the eggs to mature though. I also ran into a bug where I couldn't escape from reading the card, and the eggs matured while I was reading it and then they went bad, not sure if there was something I was supposed to be able to do to fix that.
So cute! I liked that I couldn't cut down the plants until they'd grown up fully, it added a cool planning aspect. I'd love to maybe have health so that I don't die from a single fireball, but it has high replayability!
Love this! The intro sequence was funny and great for mood-setting, and throwing humans into the worm is hilarious. My only trouble playing it was that I had a hard time telling where the bottom of the helicopter was, so I missed the worm every time I aimed for it.
I'm also biased cause our team also went for a Dune theme! Check it out https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/52/harvest-dune
Cool TD. I loved the graphics, but had trouble understanding how to play - a lot of my clicks were unresponsive and I wasn't sure what all the numbers meant. More of a tutorial or help text would be great!
Love this!! The sound and graphics are awesome. The rotating laser was a cool new twist on Plants vs Zombies
Love this! I wasn't sure how the controls worked at first or how to sell my stone but eventually I got it. Great tension between wanting to harvest faster and escaping the bugs! I was really sad when the bugs got me
I like how it gets more interactive with more players. I'd love to see the leaderboard populated to know how I'm doing, and it'd be awesome for the wait time between actions to be a bit shorter :D

Cards of War by Vladimir ins 2024-04-23T00:08:37Z ♥ 1
The cards here are beautiful! I had fun assigning attacks and I think I kind of got how it works in general but I would have loved more signals on which attacks have been assigned and what I'm trying to do.
Raccoon Tycoon by netguy204 2024-04-22T23:54:54Z ♥ 0
Hahaha this was fun! The placement puzzle was clever; I would have loved more levels and music. I think the game was a bit buggy when I had to restart a level; there were often donuts in places I hadn't put them in before.
Summoning for Hungry Wizards by TheMoonrise 2024-04-22T20:34:19Z ♥ 1
I thought this was a great concept for a game but personally I needed a bit more help to figure it out - I didn't win. I would have loved a bit more of a description in the game itself for how to play.
Summoner Armin's Bad Day by Alessandro2024 2024-04-22T20:22:27Z ♥ 1
Cute game! Loved petting the cat. It would have been nice to have more decision-making or puzzles - I mostly felt like I was following a predetermined path. The end scene had strong Stardew Valley vibes, which I enjoyed.

This was so fun! I was sad there weren't more levels - I definitely would have played more.

Hilarious that this was made on a phone!
Demon Doodles by Storeyware 2024-04-18T05:41:09Z ♥ 2
This was so fun!!! It was really hard at first and I wasn't sure how I was getting scored, but by the end I really got the hang of it. I loved the art style and my husband and I were cheering each other on about the strategy for getting the highest score. Great job!

Fun! We also made an item combo game :D I liked how each scene had a really different feel.

I couldn't get the game to start - when I pressed A nothing happened

Cute art - would love an English translation!
Exorcist Pianist by Aviv Levy 2024-04-16T20:06:06Z ♥ 1
This was fun! It was pretty repetitive though - I kept being prompted to play the same sets of notes over again. Iād love more diversity!
Spirit, are you there? by namnam 2024-04-16T20:02:44Z ♥ 2
Beautiful execution! This is fantastic
Decades And Dragons by Ein 2024-04-16T19:57:25Z ♥ 4
Oh, I loved this! Played through the end. Very short and simple mechanics but I had a great time reading through the calendar events; the storytelling is fantastic.
Pizza Lord : Slice to the beat ! by Mealky 2024-04-16T19:47:09Z ♥ 2
Had too much trouble getting started, I couldn't hit the rhythm correctly. I'd love wider tolerances; this looked really fun! Love the concept.
The In Between by Adam Gallina 2024-04-16T04:11:17Z ♥ 1
Omg this is so fun! I think I'm too sleep-deprived from the game jam to get past any of the harder levels but my friends will LOVE this game and I'm going to come back to it tomorrow after a good night's rest.
Boulder Blocker by Cody Holt 2024-04-16T04:03:09Z ♥ 2
So fun!! One of my faves so far. I got to about level 6 before dying. Cool strategic choices around angles and conservation of spikes
The Cherished Boulder by accordaquo 2024-04-16T03:40:46Z ♥ 1
Very fun! I love the music and the sprites are adorable. It felt like the start of a fun cookie-clicker type game. I'd love more affordances to know whether what I'm doing is effective - I mostly felt like I was flailing and clicking around, and the pebbles moved too fast for me to feel like i could tell what they were doing.

~~Beautiful background pixel art! Unfortunately I couldn't jump over the first taller obstacle so I couldn't make any progress. Is there a trick I am missing? I'd love to try again. (on a Mac laptop if that's important)~~
I came back and realized you can use the plant below to jump! This was very helpful and I had a great time with the first few levels. So polished for a hackathon!
Ethereal Transport Academy by Tobius 2024-04-16T03:27:36Z ♥ 3
Great art! I loved the vibe and music but had a hard time figuring out what to do with the items - I put the candles in the circle but wasn't sure what to do next. More helpers/tutorials would be great!
Clash Of Beasts by Alfredo Cossetin Neto 2024-04-16T03:14:33Z ♥ 1
The cards and game board are beautifully rendered! I lost quite quickly - tutorial or walkthrough would be very helpful as I was having a lot of trouble dropping the cards in the right place and wasn't sure what to optimize for.
Summoner's Song by NamespaceV 2024-04-16T03:11:06Z ♥ 1
Crashed my Chrome after just a few notes :( seemed fun to play though!
Room to Grow by JJ Burns 2024-04-16T03:07:34Z ♥ 3
Very cute! I died pretty quickly, and I'm not sure how exactly I died - it'd be great to have an indication of what killed me so I know how to avoid it on a replay.
Summoner's Emporium by imwonderr 2024-04-16T03:01:00Z ♥ 3
Beautiful art! The tutorial is cool but I couldn't get past it because I wasn't sure how to move to the other locations - WASD, arrows, and clicking around didn't work. Not sure if it's a bug or if I just couldn't figure it out. Seems like fun though! I'd be happy to try again.

Sadly I am playing on a laptop and don't have a mouse so I had a hard time playing. Looks fun though!
