That delay on destroying things is a bit of a killer I'd say, clean that up, and there's something quite fun waiting there.

This is really cool, particularly when it dawns on you what is happening, I enjoy the call / response in the music with the panda.
I can see what you are trying to do, and I think it could work really well, but you need a lot of work on the controls, as I'm spending more time fighting with them than the game's concept (which is where I should be putting my effort).
Loved the original Another World, and this captured a lot of the style.
I think there's an issue running in 4:3 ratio screens - menus and text fall off the screen. Love the game, it took a while to get the hang of how things work (possibly because of the screen issue).
Wouldn't eat be easier, and less cruel just to give the kids guns and give them a nudge in the right direction?
Is there a lose condition? or is that simply playing it more than 5 seconds probably means you carry some sort of psychosis?
Love this take on snake, I did get beaten by the "end game" trigger not working 100% but I played a lot more of this than many other entries.
Fantastic - I'd play this, particularly with some work on how you can use the beard for gameplay.
A little bit of work teaching the player how to get the beard swinging would be good, but sharp level design isn't expected in such a limited timeframe.
You need to work on your input logic, the controls are quite unresponsive, and this is frequently game breaking. Great effort, hope to see you back for another jam.
Not quite sure what all the junk in his beard was about, but loved it, perhaps a bit more contrast on the beat icons would help, but this is one of my favorites so far.
This is great, it'd be nice if the lower level was visible as it was placed on the belts, and wasn't such a surprise.
Very cute.
The upgrade screen could use a little work, I was right next to a pickup when it swapped and picked it up before I was aware of what I was doing. Particularly as I was just recoiling from the ground-hogs blasting off.
This would be really interesting tied to a Stanley Parable style plot - I really want to explore the depths of the psyche with ducky.
I feel like it was a little arbitrary how successful you could be.
I will pay you money if you greenlight this title (at a much grander scale of course).
This is a cool concept I like that you've just pushed as many 2 button games as you can into a single game.
I think the feel of the game suggests the games should be quicker, and run on faster, so you're having to change what you're doing every 5 seconds or so.
This is beyond bizarre, I don't know if I want to know what the scene after killing the man is - I really quite dig the art style of the people too.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but it seems like my ability doesn't always trigger. The stationary objects really need to be tied to the road better - I got fierce motion-sickness, something I rarely encounter in games.
Cool idea - although it does seem easiest just to zap everyone, perhaps I'm not approaching the problem the right way.
I really like the visual style, the car was a bit off putting, but everything else was cool. Not sure about the puzzles though I don't feel they're interactive enough to be more than just random slider positioning.
I'm not sure what I just played.
With a little tweaking to the terrain generation to make it always passable, this would make a cool mobile game.
Wait ... how can you have a game called X11 and not release it for Linux?
Awesome concept, it's sadly let down by a low frame-rate, and laggy controls.
There's a lot of room for some very creative puzzles, with such a simple interface for the player.
Controls are a bit clunky, I think you could get rid of the eat key, and just consume dirt when your're not full.

Whilst I think embedding lazers in a shark is a bit of a copout - they're still just lazers. I was very amused to see the sharks wielding duck lazers - nice touch.
It's very dark, and hard to see the player, and the enemies, the grabbing dynamic is interesting, but it feels awkward grabbing stuff from behind.
Love the random pac-man mode
Very enjoyable - you could cut back the controls a bit, and make an excellent mobile game here.
Love the CGA style graphics, and harsh screen effects - satisfying controls and combat, great take on the realtime death dungeon.
Love the art style - would like to see how far this idea could be pushed, I'd love to run a tavern.
This is a really cool idea - it could use tweaking of the physics to get controls really tight so that it becomes frustrating because of difficulty rather than fighting with physics.
Got stuck checking phone messages :( Sad panda.
I spent the first 10 minutes moving only with the mouse - honestly possibly a more interesting game that way. I'm not sure how the multiplayer works, which makes the rest of the game hard to judge.
I'm not sure what's happening, or how I really contribute to the outcome?
This is really quite fun, and such a simple execution.
A bit slow paced, and hard to tell when you could fire next - perhaps a cooldown timer?
Perhaps look at some mouse support - manually switching between characters is tedious, even automatically switching, and opening the menu would make life easier.
Also, should my battles take more than an entire day? Seems a bit drawn out.
Neat idea - completely oblivious as to what's going on - I gather it's a cookie clicker style affair, I'd be keen to see where this heads in the future.
Cool little game - the smaller hitbox was unclear, and it would be nice to see some effect when you're hit, and possibly a bit of momentum on the ship to add a bit of juice.
Unable to click on tiles and play game. No rating.
Cool concept - I found the graphics a little hard to focus on, which would have been the only detraction from what appears to be an interesting mix of breakout and space-invaders.
I don't seem to see any correlation between the screen and the pattern, am I really just clicking random squares?
LD52 — Harvest (23)
4 Souls 2 Reap by Kepsert 2023-01-10T02:27:33Z ♥ 2
I feel like the white elements are useful and would be a good global signifyer of damage - things like spikes read somewhat as scenery rather than threat. Otherwise this was great.
Reap 'n' Roll by Aurailus 2023-01-10T01:00:58Z ♥ 2
Love it - there's a lot of potential here if you want to push it further
Powered Plants by RobotChimp 2023-01-10T00:56:47Z ♥ 1
This game absolutely slaps.
Solar Sentinel by grizeldi 2023-01-09T23:06:10Z ♥ 2
It wasn't initially clear that I had to connect things - the view also often gets cluttered being able to rotate the camera would help a lot here.
Mafia's Drive-Thru by Pusheeneiro 2023-01-09T22:46:06Z ♥ 2
I feel like this game could do with a ramp up of skill - as the mafia becomes more successful though your efforts more bodies would show up - also perhaps starting with harvesting easier organs, and unlock the ability to unlock more complicated ones for greater cash rewards - there's very certainly something here.
Some work could be done on the interface, perhaps highlighting when an organ is selected or make the selection areas more "sticky" so it's more about grabbing and dropping rather than pixel hunting.
Harvest of the Gods by jitspoe 2023-01-09T22:37:22Z ♥ 2
A really interesting experiment - if nothing else, it demonstrates that creatives have little to fear - even something like this which was heavily curated by someone who knows what they doing is at best mediocre - which, is where most AI generated content sits.
Pointless Harvest by WouterK12 2023-01-09T22:29:01Z ♥ 4
Great stuff. Perhaps drop zooming around the farm for the menu, it becomes kind of tiresome once you're half-way through the game. Also, the RNG for the fields sometimes places rocks right where you're going to start - I did discover you can rotate the harvester before you start and guess where it's going to go, either fix the RNG, or show the harvester (even let the player place it before rather than rotate?).
It was all for the Tuna by rosypenguin 2023-01-09T21:58:22Z ♥ 2
This is perhaps my favorite fishing mechanic in a game.
@ectucker1 - there is once you upgrade your boat :)
Combine Harv-racer by procrasteroid 2023-01-09T21:34:03Z ♥ 1
This is great - it'd be nice to see a map, and also I think the controls in reverse are backwards, but was great fun hooning around!
Raise the Dead for Fun and Profit by ben_burnes 2023-01-09T04:25:08Z ♥ 1
I think it was puzzle craft 2 that had this mechanism, and I really loved it. There could be a little work on the selection it was a *little* clunky - also it wasn't really obvious what the purchases were about, and I didn't seem to have any reason to *fight-back*?
Yamsylvania by 0xWAVY 2023-01-09T04:14:52Z ♥ 0
Very cool - to add to the others, it appears that amongst other control issues, there are issues when going from one direction to another, and back to the first one.
Lullaby farms by TolMera 2023-01-09T04:07:43Z ♥ 3
I like the idea. If you're going to make a music focused game, it's super important that the sound is on-point, it's cool that you've built this in HTML, but I feel it means you've lost control over the audio and as a result it's popping and for me blasted out at full volume. Also, given you've put a keyboard map in the docs, I feel it could have just been part of the gameplay screen.
Bubble Rancher by recursor 2023-01-09T02:23:16Z ♥ 1
Good idea, I feel like the pusher should have made pushing bubbles easier rather than more (perhaps making it a fan?).
Bogged by InfinitySamurai 2023-01-09T02:17:03Z ♥ 3
It's an interesting concept - I'd have liked to have had a goal and levels and perhaps start without the rocks - it took a couple of goes to work out how to harvest well - perhaps a mouse interface? (or even a mobile game?)
Essence Regulation by Augmotic 2023-01-09T02:07:49Z ♥ 1
I'm really curious where this is going to go - a little feedback on how well attacks are landing, as well as perhaps easing the player into the goal of the game would help make sense of what is going on?
Crop Circle by Rulrite 2023-01-08T23:51:14Z ♥ 0
Hah! Great! I was chilling to your end of game stream :)

Love the sound effects - it's worth it just for them.

Love the concept of the puzzle, and the ambient music is super chill - great work.

Automation is the Future of Farming by maxflav 2023-01-08T18:45:50Z ♥ 1
I love these sorts of games - perhaps the graphics are a bit too chunky.
From an interface perspective I’d rather just click on the button to add it to the command list, and maybe have a delete button.
