Harvest Royale by neverautomatic
Harvest Royale is a mix between a farming sim and a battle royale game.
I would have liked to have added more battle royale elements (like enemies), but time was limited...
How to Play: - WASD or arrows to move - 1,2,3 to select items (4 is unfinished) - Left Click to use selected item
- Collect Fruit
- Till the soil with your hoe (item 1)
- Water the ground with your watering can (item 2)
Plant seeds you've collected (item 3)
Survive the blight by farming and collecting enough fruit.

1. The UI & control is a bit weird. I can't help clicking the "toolbox" and then realize that I have to use number keys :-) It would be nice to allow click to switch tools.
2. More battle royale elements would be nice.
EDIT: To see my live thoughts, check out this recording of the livestream [here](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/253875862).
It would be nice to have something to stop or slow down the blight : maybe some wood fence made with trees or something ... it could give more strategies.
Controls are a bit complicated IMO : at least click on items to select them.
It was really fun to play though ! nice job !
My only complaint is that in the beginning, I just started farming on the nearest farmable spot I spawned by, because I didn't know any better. Well that was a short-lived experiment as it was near the border, and my crops were overtaken by the darkness ASAP. Moved to the middle, and had much more success.
Overall, really fun!
You've got a nice little run animation and the sprites for the plant growth are very clear. No ambiguity about what stage of growth a plant is at. Which is nice so you don't have to wonder if the plant is ready to be harvested or not. The little particles when you hoe earth or sprinkle some water or when the plants grow are a nice addition.
There's very little downtime in this game which is cool. While I'm waiting for my plants to grow, I can go hoe some more plots and water them to get them ready. Near the end, I was trying to get my farm large enough that I could just continuously run around in a circle, watering the plants that had just grown, but I beat the game before that happened.
