LD52 — Harvest (27)

Wheat Master by nyxkn 2023-01-12T22:56:46Z ♥ 2

Surprisingly satisfying clicker / idle game. The ending also invokes a nice existential crisis, making the player question all of their decisions which led them to this point in their life. Well done.

H.A.R. VEST by Breaddysticks 2023-01-12T09:36:12Z ♥ 2

Nice graphics!

Aggro-Culture by Ategon 2023-01-12T09:25:17Z ♥ 1

Nice game.

Untitled Farming Game by Ludius 2023-01-12T09:19:05Z ♥ 0

I didn't quite figure it out. I harvested the grass and filled the map with plantings, but nothing much seemed to happen after that.

Harvesting... by ornitorenk 2023-01-12T09:04:17Z ♥ 3

Fun game. Neat little challenges.

Hedgehog Tree by Alexascher 2023-01-11T08:13:26Z ♥ 2

I love everything about it. Great aesthetic, ambience, design, graphics, audio, game-feel, polish, progression. Who knew you could make such a great game from such a seemingly straightforward concept?

You're under harvest by Mastoast 2023-01-11T07:33:38Z ♥ 1

What the hell? How do you get a game this well polished on pico 8 for a very short game jam? 48 hours? It's like a complete arcade game! Well done!

The Feudal in the Rye by echerry 2023-01-11T07:16:57Z ♥ 0

Seems like it would be a great game, but didn't work well for me on a MacBook, even in fullscreen I couldn't see the interface. (Tried Safari and Firefox) I love the idea, and the artwork though.

Barvest: The Iconic Bug Harvest of 2005 by picross 2023-01-11T07:07:06Z ♥ 2

Impressive game for a short jam!

Squirrelativity by cassowary 2023-01-11T02:55:30Z ♥ 1

Great, interesting puzzle game. I haven't seen this mechanic before, so bonus points for innovation.

Drake's Fortune by chompdev 2023-01-11T00:42:59Z ♥ 2

This is cool. I like how you allow the player to play how they like, and don't impose unnecessary time limits or other gimmicks. I really like the core game loop, like an artillery game but with a mobile platform. I like that the mouse doesn't give you perfect aim, so you have to plan your shots.

Farm On Wheels by Igor Minenko 2023-01-10T09:12:57Z ♥ 3

Environment art looks fantastic!

Agricultural Express by DeathBySnail 2023-01-10T06:53:18Z ♥ 2

Love the artwork. The curved earth effect felt especially nice for some reason.

The Circular Reaper by greenphox 2023-01-10T06:40:51Z ♥ 1

Well done! Nicely polished. Fun concept I haven't seen before.

Carrot by itsBoats 2023-01-10T06:35:39Z ♥ 1

Super fun! I liked how I had to manage my ammo. Very interesting concept. Nicely polished too!

Hivesters by HexStart 2023-01-10T06:30:49Z ♥ 5

Wow, the 3d modelling and texturing is fantastic! Very impressive! I haven't seen very many line-drawing RTS games. Usually it's drag to select, then click once to move. Good job taking a risk on innovative controls. The pheromone trails fit the motif perfectly.

Hyper Harvest by orion-black 2023-01-10T06:17:52Z ♥ 1

The core game loop is very satisfying. Nicely done.

Hare Runner by Crychair 2023-01-10T06:00:21Z ♥ 5

Impressive game! That artwork! Fantastic.

Harvest Tataki - Whac-a-carrot by caranha 2023-01-10T05:55:38Z ♥ 1

Solid game. Nice job.

The Harvester by flanne 2023-01-10T03:43:35Z ♥ 1

Great game. It's humbling to see great submissions like this one!

Vacuum by vividfax 2023-01-10T03:34:31Z ♥ 1

Very nice, elegant game design. Well done.

The Orchid's Edge by Cornflowerblue 2023-01-09T23:55:03Z ♥ 5

This is WAY too polished to be a jam game. Very impressive!

Tiny FarmLand by Roalinn 2023-01-09T23:49:46Z ♥ 2

Loads of polish for a quick game jam! Great submission.

Corntacular Spectacular by Icoso 2023-01-09T23:46:45Z ♥ 1

Wow. Fantastic submission for a very short game jam!

Grow Golf by torcado 2023-01-09T23:41:59Z ♥ 2

Wow! What a great game! I'd love to know your design process. Was the concept crystal clear from the outset, or did you have to pivot to "find the fun"?

Harvest Village by Dannyk1994 2023-01-09T23:09:54Z ♥ 1

Fun game in the style of Dorfromantik. Good idea adding the screenshots on the LD game page, I would have been lost without them.

Harvesting the Dark Souls by MoLa0404 2023-01-09T20:47:55Z ♥ 1

Cool vampire survivors clone. What do you call this genre of games?

LD44 — Your life is currency (59)

Dragon's Den by LittleW00D 2019-05-20T07:17:07Z ♥ 0

Fun game. Felt like that old time management game, Tapper.

Cat Your Life on It by khofez 2019-05-06T01:33:28Z ♥ 2

Great graphics and audio. I'd like that intro text to be fast-forwardable. ~~Is there a strategy to the game, or just straight luck?~~ On first playthrough I felt like I didn't have much agency.

On second playthrough, I see that it's a speed game, how fast you can pull and push the bar.

Space Gunner by GerardB 2019-05-05T10:10:56Z ♥ 1

Nice game. Well polished. I liked how the coins encouraged exploration, so the player won't just camp out and shoot creeps.

The Vampire's Prisoner by Tuhlienn 2019-05-05T10:04:26Z ♥ 1

Nice graphics. Really would have enjoyed some SFX. The chests and weapon racks seemed non-interactive. If there's a trick to them, it's not evident to me. I got the back but didn't know what to do after that.

Koe by velvetlobster 2019-05-05T09:55:52Z ♥ 2

Loved the art and audio. Enjoyed the fourth wall breaks, up to a point. I was looking for a big payoff, but never got one.

Life Vac by caranha 2019-05-05T09:44:02Z ♥ 0

Great game. I love Conway's game of life. Impressive that you implemented it in Pico8.

Blood Collector by icedmetal57 2019-05-05T02:02:04Z ♥ 0

It's surprisingly fun. I played through 6 times. Each time, I was surprised when I died. Thought I had plenty of blood left. If the rate of blood loss goes up over time, that could be communicated more explicitly.

Some hit animations and audio fx would go a long way.

Arcade Wars by Aurel300 2019-05-05T01:47:42Z ♥ 1

Nice game. I liked the enemy wave formations, the slot machine, the coin stack. I ran into a pool table(?) that seemed a bit unfair (it rushed me and it was faster than the player, so I couldn't kill it.)

Explosive Escape by exilegl 2019-05-05T00:54:11Z ♥ 1

Love the art style. Nice entry.

The invisible wall was a bit weird. Maybe it needs some indication of a boundary. The shooting mechanic didn't feel quite right. Maybe the shots need to be faster, or you need to add the velocity of the boat to the shot.

Blood and goods by selewi 2019-05-05T00:43:39Z ♥ 2

Great game. Amazing artwork and audio. I just wish it was actual words instead of qweasd. I normally type quickly, but when posed with random strings of letters I blanked out. I imagine I'll get the hang of it after a couple of runs through.

I played through again. Helped to think of words that started with that letter. Now I wish the button options responded to keyclicks, so I could progress without switching to mouse.

Meat Mountain by gamechoy 2019-05-05T00:29:06Z ♥ 1

Fun game. Mechanically it reminded me of Karateka. I would have enjoyed some audio fx for those slashes.

Basil Price: Mint Investigator by minibobbo 2019-05-05T00:14:02Z ♥ 1

Great, fun game. Pretty easy to win, but a lot more interesting and interactive than your standard visual novel. I liked those fourth wall breaks. Made me think it was a realitypunk universe like bandersnatch. Maybe explore that further (assuming you like realitypunk)?

Jukebox Panic! by Kaish 2019-05-03T09:04:41Z ♥ 2

Love it! This game is super fun! I can't think of any improvements.

The Tree of Bounty by gelisam 2019-05-03T07:56:24Z ♥ 1

Cool game. No complaints. I played for longer than most jam games I see. I guess audio options might be nice.

The Iron Syndicate by Hare Software 2019-05-02T09:00:38Z ♥ 1

Seems amazing until it bugged out on me.

``` FATAL ERROR in action number 1 of Step Event0 for object obj_player:

Unable to find any instance for object index '12' name 'obj_furnace' at gml_Script_ev_player_step ```

Loved the concept and the artwork, although I would have loved to see art in the style of "Social Realism" or Tim Huhn style "Neo-Deco"

The Joy of Creationism with God Ross by AndideBob 2019-05-02T08:40:41Z ♥ 1

I love it! The only things I could ask are a few rivers and oceans, and some way to more closely monitor my creations.. seems like *maybe* there's a foxes and hares simulation under the hood, but the effects were very subtle.

Love the premise, the audio, and the graphics.

Angry Hog Head by saucygames 2019-05-02T07:30:03Z ♥ 1

Nice game. Great game-feel. Cute sprites. Great animations.

Carl Currency - Expert Exchanger by yazara 2019-05-02T05:30:07Z ♥ 2

Great puzzle game. Art and gameplay are great. Only thing missing is audio.

Blood and Glory by adrupen 2019-05-02T05:20:43Z ♥ 1

Nice battle royale. I liked the opportunity for progression. I would have liked a strafe option and some variety in attacks.

Piggy the Bank by Kusaihana 2019-05-02T05:16:13Z ♥ 2

Cool pico game. Like others here, I was expecting the hammer to catch up when I hit an obstacle.

Mayan Mayhem by Arcus 2019-05-02T05:06:44Z ♥ 1

Seems like it has charm and heart. Just need to crush those movement bugs to make it playable. I like the artwork.

A Miner's Life by oddarock 2019-05-02T05:02:51Z ♥ 1

Good entry. I'd fine tune those collision boxes a little bit. When you've got spikes to avoid, the collision areas should be pixel perfect.

I liked the gem stock ticker.

Grim & Tonic by Calzep 2019-05-02T04:53:15Z ♥ 0

Same feelings as Evgeniya. It's a nice match 3 game, but that intro text was so long, and the way it scrolled from the center made it hard to read. Even spamming the enter key, it felt slow getting into the actual game. Thankfully, when I tried again it skipped the text.

I like the art style. Seems well balanced. I lost one game and won one game.

GÖLDF by CaptainPilot 2019-05-01T04:45:31Z ♥ 1

Great game. So many levels! Nicely polished. Good fun.

Goals by vanLeiden 2019-05-01T04:24:16Z ♥ 1

Great puzzle game! Nicely polished.

For A Bike by hwaet 2019-05-01T04:19:19Z ♥ 1

The game got a lot more fun after a couple of upgrades.. I was nearly on the verge of quitting, but I thought I should check the house before I go.. then things got better.

For a game jam, it's a risky strategy making gameplay slow and unfun out of the gate. I imaging a lot of potential players will never get so far as to purchase an upgrade. I figure you've got about 1 minute to wow someone.

Definitely could use some audio.

Paid in Blood by Scott Steffes 2019-05-01T04:10:09Z ♥ 0

Nicely crafted variant of this type of game. No issues with the game itself, but I'm not a huge fan of the genre. Seems well polished!

Microtransaction Mages by Jeremy Ryan 2019-05-01T04:04:09Z ♥ 0

Fun game. I nearly almost quit when I didn't have enough money to revive myself.. then I saw the go to work option. Nice clicker / lane defense genre mashup.

Holding space to shoot felt a bit superfluous / unnecessary. Could just enable autoshoot.

Seaway by Constantin 2019-05-01T03:51:27Z ♥ 1

I love this game. Amazing entry for a game jam. I would normally give tips for improving a game, but I can't think of any for this one. Oh.. I sailed for a long time with no encounters.. just when I started to wonder if there was anything, I found a town.

Be cool to see a hard mode that has wind direction.

Don't Die, Eat Your Veggies by GhostGoatsGames 2019-05-01T03:12:37Z ♥ 1

That's so hardcore! Buying seeds takes years off your life. I thought this would just be another farming game, then I killed myself by hanging around the store for 100 years. Second playthrough, I aged while waiting for my seeds to grow, watering them carefully every decade or so. Nice game.

Crafting/Farming games are really ambitious for game jams. It's so much easier to just crank out another twin-stick shooter or platformer. Props for the effort!

A Hill To Die On by longbowrocks 2019-05-01T02:59:15Z ♥ 1

Great first entry! I wasn't sure how to decide how much to spend. Probably plays much better as split-screen party game than 1 player vs AI.

forest path by herio5154 2019-05-01T02:53:58Z ♥ 1

Nice entry. Needs a bit more work, but you're on the right track.

BattleType by Sebity 2019-04-30T22:26:39Z ♥ 1

Fun game. Loved the typing lane-defense genre mashup. I wanted my champions to come down specific lanes, but they seemed to appear in random lanes. Could use a little animation on the sprites.

Victor Sold His Soul by Fear Games 2019-04-30T22:20:20Z ♥ 3

General: Love the character design and the premise! Visuals and audio were really good. Impressive (and ambitious) entry! Innovative design.

Game design, level design, genre: The 2d on 3d effect didn't quite work for me (clipping issues, no camera rotation, fixed paths). I felt really slow with such large levels. I felt frustrated by the non-interactive periods: watching the character walk with no user input after the mob touched me. Walking simulators aren't my style, so I didn't have the patience to get to the second part of the game, which might have been more interesting.

Bloodmoon Season by dock 2019-04-30T22:02:12Z ♥ 1

It's an impressive game for a short game jam. Nice graphics and audio. Nice use of lighting. Despite the instructions, on my first playthrough it wasn't obvious to me how to collect the blood. I pressed e to interact but nothing seemed to happen.

Mahou Shoujo Monster: Promised Fate by jadedResearcher 2019-04-30T20:36:38Z ♥ 2

Great game. Just felt a little short. Sorry, I didn't stick around to find the second ending. I saw "you win" and it felt complete.

Death Making a Living by Marcus Otterstrom 2019-04-30T20:31:01Z ♥ 2

Great concept. Just needs some audio, and maybe different controls for the consume a soul part. With the rotation on the sprite, it felt like pushing W should go forward instead of up the y-axis.

I really like the item progression and the notion that death is decorating their house. Great commentary-on-life game.

Shinigami's new assignment by Sun-Wukong 2019-04-30T20:07:02Z ♥ 1

Brilliant game. Loved the animations and artwork. Game-feel is really solid. It all felt super-polished. I'm not sure if the scythe contributes to the game much. Dodging enemies was more fun than killing them.

To Health and Back by boaheck-artgent 2019-04-30T19:27:12Z ♥ 1

Great game. Just needs esc to speed through dialog text.

D.R.I.E.D. by JasonD 2019-04-30T19:18:56Z ♥ 2

Great game. Nothing I'd change. Great audio, great graphics. It felt well balanced, with there's no single overwhelmingly dominant strategy.

Arcade Wizard by T.A.C. Commandeur 2019-04-30T19:05:46Z ♥ 1

one more try.

Great gameplay! Felt like a slightly easier version of a classic twin-stick shooter. I really like how that facing mechanic works.

My only complaint would be that the tutorial text is hard to grasp before you've seen the game. I'd move that all into the first scene.

Couch Change by dwemthy 2019-04-30T17:52:20Z ♥ 0

Cute game. I've never seen this type of mechanic, where you can swap characters so easily, in a platformer. I don't play a lot of puzzle platformers, so I didn't get very far, but I liked what I saw.

I'd like to see a bigger payoff when you tag another coin.

Paper Combat by tgiant 2019-04-30T07:07:31Z ♥ 1

Great little battler. I loved the animations. Really impressive! Audio was good too. It felt good to punch and kick the AI.

Minimum Viable Piggy by Macks 2019-04-30T06:56:28Z ♥ 2

Great little platformer with an innovative mechanic, a lot of heart, and great game-feel. Love the humour. That was super fun.

Spirits of the Unknown by TheSomeoneXD 2019-04-30T06:52:01Z ♥ 2

HTML works for me. Great little exploration platformer. A bit heavy on the exposition for me... I was about to quit, but then busy spirit caught my attention! Forge on, busy spirit! Well done.

Coinroll Adventures by MrPiedPiper 2019-04-30T06:41:11Z ♥ 1

Amazing game! Great mechanic. Great cuteness. Great game-feel. Good puzzles. Sadly, I got stuck on the big empty level with the spring/buttons.

I loved the feelz as we're forced to give up your coins.

The Kindercatch by LillyByte 2019-04-30T06:31:56Z ♥ 3

Those graphics and audio are both amazing! Nice reverse stealth game. Really impressive effort for a weekend game jam!

Lifeless Treasure by Grewoss 2019-04-30T06:25:30Z ♥ 1

Nice game. Enjoyed the different weapons and enemy variety. Could use a tiny bit more of that elusive "game-feel" (muzzle flash, etc.) Great job.

Age of Coin - Battle Stars: ULTRA by squirmonkey 2019-04-30T06:09:55Z ♥ 1

Two games in one! Ambitious! I think the platformer controls could be a little tighter. Or maybe it just needs a bit more "game-feel" on the platformer stage. I felt like I'd rather be playing the coin battle game, but I didn't want to take the time to collect better coins. If you can get the platformer feeling a bit better, it'll be amazing! I really like the concept.

Impressive effort for a weekend!

Coin Bois by Alchemic 2019-04-30T06:00:09Z ♥ 1

Hoo boy. Difficult game for me. I got stuck on stage 6. Lots of fun. Nice mechanic. Nice audio. Elegant game. If I was better at puzzlers I'd play longer.

mister penny by humfuzz 2019-04-30T05:51:15Z ♥ 0

Great idea. I got stuck pretty early on though. Not sure how to pass the L-shaped level with 2 coins. To be fair, I'm not a huge puzzle gamer, so I gave up pretty quickly.

A Shooter Confrontation between the Society of the Sanguine Faith and Dracula by Hyperbian Games 2019-04-30T05:43:26Z ♥ 1

Nice game. I'd like to hear a little audio when you take a bullet hit. At first I didn't even realize I was losing health.

Catch all the coins by Matu 2019-04-30T05:37:23Z ♥ 2

I like the progression. I feel like the player sped up a bit after the first level (or maybe that was my imagination). Pretty straightforward gameplay, solid enough. Nice audio. Fun to race around the level. I played through 4 levels. Extra credit for not using a big game engine.

GAIZAN : JUSTICE WAR by 3mpty 2019-04-30T05:23:40Z ♥ 1

Fun game. I ran out of stuff to kill though and wasn't sure how to proceed. Good fun shooting the robots though. Nice game.

Meter Maid DX by No Grapes Games 2019-04-30T05:11:06Z ♥ 1

Good game. Great graphics and audio. Great polish. Loved the intro cutscene. Nice job making it skip-able. My only request would be some way to temporarily lure away the police. Love that you used the Godot engine! Represent! BTW: Godot exports to html really easily. Next time, you should put an html version on itch.io.

Vital Investments by dalton5000 2019-04-30T05:00:07Z ♥ 2

Great music. Great graphics. I enjoyed exploring the town to see what I could invest in. Those hints are a bit pricey. I'd like to see a procedurally generated town, so it's not the same layout each time.

Clock of Your Life by JestemStefan 2019-04-30T04:52:04Z ♥ 1

Nice. Love the graphics and the audio. I wish our game had a finely tuned economy like this. That must have been hard to balance!

Force of Nature by Griddolini 2019-04-30T04:47:09Z ♥ 3

Insanely good game.

Designated Victim by toasteater 2019-04-30T04:38:16Z ♥ 1

Great game!
