Very impressive for 48 hours! Multiple mini games to play with a really solid aesthetic and showcase of effects with the deaths and transitions. Although it was difficult, it was unfair at times as well with the transitions blocking sight of the ball so I couldn't react even if I wanted to. I would have liked to have seen at least one new minigame in here, but everything here looks well executed and is a solid result.
Clean aesthetic with a good interpretation of the theme, had a bit of an issue getting into it, but I found it was well executed!
Some polish the be added for sure in terms of gameplay and levels, but solid foundation and it fit the theme really well :)
Great stuff for your first game! Simple game, but functioned a bit more complexly than I was expecting so I struggled until I realised there were a good few options avaialble!
Really charming game. The platforming felt a bit heavy, but the combat was neat and the theme fitted well with a good mix of survival rooms and a bit of planning to your shots!
Great interpretation of the theme and a nice set of mechanics to go with it!
I think the art and sound of the game were good. The character felt smooth to control and left me wanting more of it as the game and levels were short and simple. Lots of room to grow with this game and few downsides!
I might have missed something, but it didn't seem to fit the theme too well. The game was nice though with a clean look and the spherical world, but it did feel a bit bland.
I liked the combat, having to hunt down the powerups to really get by was a good move as well as mixing up the gameplay. The waves built up well and got quite overwhelming so I enjoyed it overall. A little polish and it would be really satisfying to play
Cute little game, found it a bit hard to tell what the ai was up to and it got stuck in the corner one time but I did enjoy it!
Nice art, although a bit slow to start it picks up quick after the tutorial section. Had some difficulty fitting in some spots with the wizard picked up, but other than that I enjoyed it :)
Really well made game with adorable art and a cute concept! Some of the options were a bit difficult to differentiate, but once I went through the proper training I was A-Okay :)
Not the Chrono Trigger I'm familiar with... haha But a lot of fun, great designs and a fun mechanics! The final sequence felt a bit drawn out and some of the hitboxes were unforgiving, but it was well made and well polished under the time constraints! The voice over was the cherry on top for sure!
Simple concept executed really well! Lovely art and music with some great little problem solving. I do wish you could restart without a crash though!
Great aesthetic and art. Struggled to figure out what I was doing to begin with, but just about got the hang of it ! Fits the theme really well too - Although I had some lag while playing in browser, especially full screen.
Really fun concept and well executed, left me wanting more after there was nothing else to upgrade other than the walls!
One of my favourites I've played so far. Great graphics, music and gameplay loop :)
Wasn't a huge fan, the controls were a bit stiff and the jingle for getting the notes was pretty painful after a short while.
This was a lot of fun! I wasn't sure when it first started, but it picks up nicely into exploring a bit and the way the music picks up definitely sold it for me. Really enjoyed this.
I really liked the base game. There's obviously a lot to improve upon with a lot of potential upgrades and features, but I thought the it hit the theme well and would definitely play an expanded version of this.
Fun little game with great art and the looping music fit really well! I also thought the match to the theme was brilliant.
The game looks good and is a solid build, but the lack of feedback and makes it a bit hard to tell what's happening.
Great aesthetic and style to the game. Managed to beat it and I really enjoyed it, but definitely could do with some more moves!
It crashed part way through, but the game itself had great designs and played well :)
Cool concept and the music is great. Weirdly found the controls a bit odd as I kept intuitively thinking that I would rotate around rather than jump from spot to spot.
Great concept and well made. It's satisfying to shoot the environment and was well polished. Would be cool to see a fully realised version of this game with tweaks to fix some of the gameplay issues, like having to stop and start a lot.
Very fun game, great match to the theme and good gameplay. That art is amazing as well and it feels like a great little package. Only issue was the camera would get very weird and jumpy at times.
Brilliant concept and well executed, could very easily be a great mobile game too!
The concept and art were cool, but the gameplay felt more frustrating than fun
I thought the mechanics were really cool for a puzzle game, but it was difficult to maneuver the pieces as the rest were moving. Also had the game just crash on me once or twice.
Awesome mechanic! Lots of potential with it. Music was fun too :)
Music was great! Got a bit stumped by the puzzles later on.
Made me laugh at the end. Thought the platypus and the loop stuff was a cool concept and simple enough to play for a game jam
The eye texture and the sound effects were a solid fit. Good base for a game.
Pretty wild movement some of the time, but was a neat concept.
I thought it was hard to get bearings with limited landmarks but the concept was cool and flying was fun :)
This is ridiculously good! Would love to play an expanded version of this.
Very cool concept and gameplay, ran into an issue with the loop not connecting when it got longer.

The Time Traveler's Garden by Drizzle Games 2023-01-14T17:11:26Z ♥ 2
Really great work here with a fun concept. My only complaint was that the feedback from hitting the enemies wasn't very clear. You built such a solid foundation for a game in a short span of time and it looks and plays nicely!
Carrot Season by Dacs 2023-01-13T13:56:02Z ♥ 1
Simple, but a fun and well done game - The carrot boss rocked my shit for a bit haha. I agree with the above as well about being able to be tabbed out would help.
Crop Circle by Rulrite 2023-01-13T01:09:28Z ♥ 0
One of the best in this gamejam I've played, very clean and well executed! Great job!
Soul Harvester by Accatosh 2023-01-12T00:49:29Z ♥ 1
Decent game, I liked the idea of going to pick up your reward as a bit of a risk. Only complaint is those goblins have way more reach than they look like they do!
Harvest Swarm by LuhUchiha 2023-01-12T00:42:33Z ♥ 2
Cute game with a nice retro gameboy aesthetic. I liked the gameplay too, but I think going between the items was generally unfun personally, especially if you got too close to another tool on accident it would pick it up. Overall though I did like it and you did a great job!
Snake Attak! by Salmoneer 2023-01-12T00:34:02Z ♥ 1
Despite the graphics and music being a bit simple, I actually really like the potential for the combat. Although mashing click to get hits in as it got harder wasn't great, I think the simple rotate sword and click to attack was good and could be a lot of fun with some additional mechanics. Great stuff!
Minetanite by picttarge 2023-01-11T23:12:10Z ♥ 4
Great art and a great base for the gameplay! I think it needed some balancing or speeding up the pace as it got monotonous a bit quickly, but I liked the weapon variety and concept for sure.
Super Fruiters by Wisch 2023-01-11T23:02:20Z ♥ 1
Although I imagine it wasn't intended, the fact I can pre-sell my plants and get into crop debt to invest into my farm was funny. For the time spent you did a great job at creating something nice and simple
Soul Gardener by taikinaaa 2023-01-11T22:37:07Z ♥ 0
The shooting sound was a bit rough and the controls were a weird scheme for me personally. The movement speed and shooting were quick and well done. The levels were decently designed, but I had an issue with not seeing enough of the level, falling down and having to wait for the enemies to navigate towards me. Overall thought you did a good job, with some minor things to hash out!
Harvest match by ChicoMCastro 2023-01-11T22:28:12Z ♥ 0
I think you've got a nice base game, but the movement is way too slippery. It's straight forward, but with that it probably needs a little more to it like a clearer end game, or levels of difficulty, etc.
Fenasi by Cagil Ozdemirag 2023-01-11T22:20:01Z ♥ 1
Congrats on finishing your first game and gamejam! It's definitely a bit rough with the combat and figuring out what to do, but I like that you started with a tutorial. I think to help with getting into it a delay before spawning/health decreasing to allow for explanation would have worked as I was too worried about killing the monsters to realise what to do haha.
Feeding Time at the Church of the Cosmic Void by Alex de la Cour 2023-01-11T22:05:35Z ♥ 1
The art and animation is very good! The game play was well done, but the control layout was a bit fiddly on keyboard.
Energy Harvest by SlantyOJ 2023-01-10T01:44:18Z ♥ 0
I got 2:49! I think I got a coin shape change easter egg for the bronze ball haha! I really liked the effect for the balls when moving zoomed in - weirdly satisfying effect used. Great stuff!
Dang Crows! by Jason Wilson 2023-01-10T01:37:31Z ♥ 1
A lot of good stuff going for the game, but I just found the gameplay far too slow to enjoy. Also the UI at the top covered the top 2 layers of farmland which meant I couldn't see some of the crows attacking the wheat.
Honey Harvest by Lukas Boersma 2023-01-10T01:32:30Z ♥ 0
I really like the base game, but some of the different levels felt a bit jarring/strict at times
Harvest Pen by Roroto Sic 2023-01-10T01:25:41Z ♥ 1
Unfortunately running it in chrome from the ludum dare page doesn't work at all, can't get beyond the first error message. Downloading it and running it would crash as well sadly. I managed to get through the first level/tutorial before crashing but you have a really nice aesthetic going and nice simple gameplay. Hope you can put out a patched version to be able to try it out properly!
Space Farmers by BonzoMu 2023-01-10T01:18:45Z ♥ 0
The whales are a bit too small to be able to keep up with. I think the game needs a bit more to it as the controls were a bit difficult, but you did a good job. I think in terms of gameplay a health upgrade/refill of some kind would help for sure!
Cookie Typer! by Minos_L2b 2023-01-10T01:09:37Z ♥ 1
Solid typing game, would be good to see it have bit more to it as I had some words repeat a fair bit. The music and art was chill :)
TurnUp by bcmpinc 2023-01-10T01:04:52Z ♥ 4
I think there's a lot of good elements setup here, but they don't quite carry through well with the gameplay - There wasn't enough feedback from the upgrades other than watering to tell exactly what the upgrades were doing, and they blocked the view of the turnips a lot. Instead of clicking on a turnip, just holding down click and hovering over the turnips would have helped greatly, especially as the farm expanded. The vibe was great with good art work, music and radio chatter!
Drake's Fortune by chompdev 2023-01-10T00:11:26Z ♥ 2
I really liked it, it very much reminded me of old flash games I used to play - great gameplay, but had 2 small issues - the mouse cursor being locked to the small ring felt uncomfortable personally and I think the fireball should have hit everyone rather than just the first person it struck. (This may have been in the upgrade path but I didn't quite finish it)
Organigrow by Phillip Scott 2023-01-10T00:01:15Z ♥ 1
Took me a little bit to get to the seed gun as I was exploring - nice solid foundation for a game with good graphics.
Our Hill of Stars by limered 2023-01-09T23:36:56Z ♥ 3
2 hours of mine and a friends life going through these puzzles. pain and suffering throughout. Odd difficulty spikes throughout and we had way too much trouble with level 20. Really a lot of fun and great puzzles with room for improvement in design and layout. It got a bit cumbersome to have to wait for the tractor to go through each tile to check our progress.
